To the LPs, a massive amount, really. Original CDs, I don't know. The box has been out for a while, and seems like some of its "extra" contents came out on later individual CDs afterwards. How that plays out chronologically/numerically, I don't know.

Timing is everything, as they say.

Yeah, that's right. Somebody gets this for $90, I'm making up the extra $10 to Pete. Square business. Let the record show that I am not in the habit of doing things like this, nor do I intend of getting into the habit of doing things like this. Y'all peddle your own wares your own way. But seeing this thing sitting here languishing, this great music, this truly historical document, for this great price, hey. It hurts, it really hurts. So, somebody carpe diem, please.

PM sent on the Pablos.

Well now, that's more like it!

The LaWanda Page things are up on YouTube. People who don't know either should, asap, or just pretend it doesn't exist and move on. I still say Clark Terry would've been great on Sanford & Son.

Her first album for Reprise, Love, was recorded for RCA but not released by them..something to do with it being uncommercial or something. Sinatra bought the tapes from them when he signed Clooney and then released it himself. AFAIC, it's her masterpiece, and one of Riddle's as well, one of a handful. The one after, that, Thanks For Nothing is a very mixed bag, but there's some good stuff on it. It's not as deep as Love, though, but to be fair, very little in that realm was/is. Other than that, I know she did some Reprise Repertoire Company (or whatever it was called) performances, and I don't know what, if anything, else. Singles, maybe? She was heading downhill that whole time. Here's my two favorites from the Thanks...album, fwiw: Wounded Bird reissued it a few years ago, and I bought it. To be honest, those two are the only cuts of it I'd go out of my way to ever buy again. But Love, oh my goodness...

Germany, yes, not Paris. Wonder if he played organ at all in Paris, and if so, was Eddie Louis ever around to hear it...that would make for some interesting history, even if it never happened!

Probably not top-shelf lyrics here (or maybe they are?), but you'd not know it by the way she sings them. I love it when a performer can let you feel a story instead of having you listen to a song, willful loving seduction instead of guilt-tripping prostitution ritual, real strength instead of simple powerthugging.

Jaws! Al Grey, Rufus Jones, Bobby Plater, Marshall Royal, Eric Dixon, probably Charlie Fowlkes. Jack E. Leonard, now there was a character!

You didn't get the memo? -- It's actually Larry Young Mimes in Paris. Sadly (?) the video was lost. But seriously...All the Young on record from Paris has been on piano. That, and he played piano on Woody's BN demo date. I noticed this wording, which to me seemed to be a bit of an advance CYOA: and then this: ...which I think is likely(?) going to be piano. I mean, I'm in no matter what. It's just that I see "unreleased Larry Young" and my gut gets all fluttery thinking organ, and...it ain't necessarily so. But if it is, so much the better!

Oh, I love Gilles' work/efforts, and lord knows I love EW&F, but the notion of him holding an EXTREMELY common EW&F album (I mean, who doesn't have it who wants it? Fifty Megabajillion copies sold!) for a photo about obsessive vinyl collectors strikes me as more than a little of an inside joke that he might well be having with the situation. I think it's funny as hell!

Yeah, this thread started in 2008, Carr died in 2009, and here we are eulogizing the great man in 2015. Mr. Terry obiviously came from "good stock" like the country folk say. And "good breeding" (like the old folks say) as well, a universally loved and respected spirit. In other words, an exemplary human being in every way. People say it can't be done, well, if not, let us mourn the death of Clark Terry. But if still possible, let us use him as an example and inspiration for as long as there's people deciding what kind of a life they're going to make for themselves.

I'll like it better if he's playing organ on all or most of it.

Clark Burroughs & Gene Puerling, all-time great comedy team even w/o making a sound.

Like the Gil Evans thing from last year, which actually ended up going very nicely, this is one of those things that could be a nightmare (or not). And definitely "not for everybody" in the first place. http://jazz.unt.edu/genepuerling Definitely going to be some thickass harmony to be heard. Just not sure about how silly it's gonna be delivered...Puerling was never afraid of silliness, but damn did he know his harmony and damn did he always have the singers to do it his way.

Seriously, Gilles Peterson, seriously? ROTFLMFAO!!!!
