hipnosis has never been reissued by itself on cd, not in japan or the u.s. however, the music is currently available as part of mosaic's grachan moncur select. check it out: moncur select

I saw Werner's trio two weeks ago and they were smokin'. The communication that goes on between these three musicians who have been together for several years is amazing. Bartz is another story. I've seen him perform twice in the past several months (with Sphere and Eric Reed's Dolphy Project), and both times I was underwhelmed. His playing was capable, but it lacked the fire that was present in his earlier years.

well, i did a search of some other forums, and there has been some talk about this disc. i'll let my comment stand though, cause i'm too lazy to delete!

has there been no subsequent discussion of this disc? that's hard to believe! personally, i was going to skip this one, but after listening to a review on npr last month, it made its way onto my want list. i finally got it 2 days ago and i like it quite a bit. i think douglas has matured a lot over the past few years. his playing seems more focused and he makes better use of space in his solos these days. i also like the significance of the title strange liberation, but that's an added bonus that some others might not appreciate.

yeah, i looked at michael's discography and wondered the same thing.

Apparently, someone from the radio station at Wesleyan sold a hefty number of cds to this store. Most of them were 4.99 and quite a few were only $2, like the one I purchased. Because of the Wesleyan connection, I assumed that the cdr was something the stattion obtained directly from Hoggard. I didn't know it was a Muse release, and I'm still not sure if it was.

Can anyone provide me with information on a Jay Hoggard recording entitled Pleasant Memories. It's a solo outing for vibes from June 1995 that, according to Hoggard's website, carries a catalog number of Muse MCD 5596. I already know the names of the 12 tracks (I picked up a cdr in a used store), and I believe it was recorded at Wesleyan College where Hoggard teaches. Was this title actually released by Muse (I can't find any listing for it other than on Hoggard's site)? Is there any additional information available? Does anyone have access to the cover art? Thanks in advance for your help.

i'd guess the answer is "not much" given current sales figures of jazz titles in this country.

whoa man. like, checkered out!

I guess I'm a little confused by some of the complaints I'm reading here. The fact that classic BN titles are again being offered to a demanding public (specifically, the relatively large number of jazz-loving Japanese) would seem to be a cause for celebration, not criticism. As far as the "limited edition" issue goes, these are limited editions. Only a limited number of cds are produced, and then they sell out. A few years later (maybe less, I don't know), the demand in Japan warrants another limited run of these or other titles. It's a different system than is used in the U.S. by, say Fantasy, whose limited editions stay in print for years because the demand is so low. BTW, I don't see anyone complaining about the upcoming reissues of Sixth Sense or Blue Spirits. Those were limited editions that are about to be offered again. This is not to say you folks don't have a right to complain, I just don't agree with you.

from AMG: "This Horace Silver CD compilation is yet another in the series of unauthorized reissues by the European bootleg label Giants of Jazz. With a dozen selections taken from five separate sessions originally recorded by the pianist for Blue Note, it is a good cross section of his early dates as a leader, though the mediocre sound, with its unexpected channel shifts and dropouts, is extremely annoying. Since most of the music has been reissued (or will be) by Blue Note in its complete re-creations of the original albums, there is little incentive to acquire this disappointing disc, unless someone is on a very tight budget, wants a representative sampling of Horace Silver's work, and can tolerate the average-to-abysmal sound, rather than spend just a little more for the real deal." — Ken Dryden

sent you a pm about the Ammons.

i have it, but would gladly trade it for the original muse reissues. i hate the black plastic jewel case, and dorn should have been shot for the crappy artwork.

no doubt about it, you got good prices for your discs. on the other hand, a quick look at half.com reveals that the cheapest you could probably purchase used copies of some of your discs online is: pixies 9.50, t.o.p. 8.48, oukast 8.45, mcgriff 8.45, etc. also, the harris compilation is oop, and the kirk set is going for over $15. and that's not including shipping costs either. so you see, you made out well, but it might not be the gold you thought it was. i don't mean to dampen your spirits. as i said before, i depend on people like you to sell stuff they don't want so i can get it for myself or use it for trade bait. during my recent vacation to chicago and tucson, i purchased many oop titles for good prices. for instance, i picked up an incredible stanley cowell gold disc on venus for $15 and the 2cd jimmy giuffre set on ecm for only $8! used cd/lp stores are a great scene where you can find good stuff and meet some interesting people.

Did it look like this: If so, it's a bandoneon, played here by the master, Astor Piazzolla.

What's so hard to believe? Sure, you got a good price for your cds, but were they really crap? If not, then chances are someone else will buy them for $7-10. That's how the used cd/record system works. You sell something you don't value and I buy it because I do. The storeowner makes a little profit, and everyone goes home happy. Now you might ask yourself, "Who in their right mind would sell the great vinyl I picked up at that store?" It doesn't matter, since you, me, and most of the other people on this board depend on that other person to sell their stuff so we can get oop titles we've been looking for. It's a great system imo, one that I've been a part of for the past 25 years.

this past new year's eve i went to berklee's performance center to hear a saxophonist who claimed he was influenced by bird, coltrane, and cannonball. when he took the stage and the loud sounds of smooth-r&b jazz assaulted my ears, i headed straight for the door. i walked a few blocks and discovered a tenor player on the sidewalk blowing some great straight-ahead, heartfelt jazz. i listened to him for quite a while, then we got into a conversation about his music. when i left, i gave him a ten-spot and thanked him for what we in the psychological field call an emotionally corrective experience.

well, if you are indeed an idiot, this guy is your leader.

a lofty goal, to be sure. just how do features like the babe thread fit in with these plans?

i wonder what people's responses would be to an image of a naked guy. -_-

another show you should consider for that weekend: One for All at Smoke David Hazeltine (piano) · Eric Alexander (sax) · Jim Rotondi (trumpet) · Steve Davis (trombone) · Peter Washington (bass) · Joe Farnsworth (drums)

imo, it's best to test with music you know and love. for that reason, i'm most likely to bring along discs like kind of blue, soul station, and a love supreme when auditioning equipment. frankly, i don't care a great deal how spectacular a test disc sounds, or how well the cannon fire in the 1812 overture is reproduced. what i want to hear is how good the music i love is going to sound.

i've looked at the latest edition of the penguin guide and can't locate this assertion. where did you find it?
