Only got round to buying Vol 2 last year, having had Vol 1 on vinyl since the 60s! Both wonderful, of course! the saleswoman actually only wanted to sell me one volume, thinking they were twice the same thing and the other one hadn't arrived..., luckily i had a look in the box... haven't played vol 2 so far but i really don't know where i've been all those years... amazing indeed

a triple of blue note rvgs The amazing Bud Powell vol1 and vol 2 Freddie Redd - Redd's Blues

What solo tracks? answer to my question, the john dennis solo tracks found on the debut rarities cd..

Einsplus was a german tv station which existed from 1986 to 1993... it belonged to ard (and thus could draw upon the archives of wdr, ndr, br...) http://www.tab-multimedia.de/ard_eins_plus_start.htm

upon a very quick glance on the mingus jazzdisco discography there shouldn't be any... there is some laporta in the small debut records story box... the stuff under his own name is now out in spain... there is one track from the alonzo levister debut album which sound pretty good, but the rest is not on cd, plus there are two or so tracks from vocalist ada moore's album on there which heavily feature laporta iirc (!) but these shouldn't be in the big box since mingus is not on them...(?) http://cgi.ebay.de/With-Tal-Farlow-Laporta...tem370160341731 wish i had the big box, but i did get some of the contained music on single cds lately, the john dennis album is great (are the solo tracks included?), as is the knepper/maini album...

stupid question but where do, say, blue train, the sidewinder and back at the chicken (ie the stuff they reissue all the time) shack fit in?

munich... of course people like me don't like to hear anything positive about bavarian stuff... had hoped i would never have to go down there again but maybe it isn't all bad then (actually last time i was in munich i spend a good amount of time at beck's but that was in 1997 and i don't remember it vividly (later a neat beck's cd store opened in a bookstore here but that is long gone by now...) best zweitausendeins store i have seen was düsseldorf (i mean, the differences are in the boxes with cheapo stuff, the main selection is the same everywhere), the guy from croco jazz in paris told my brother he actually drives here (to saturn in cologne) to buy cds for his store so i should be happy to live where i live... came to brussels with many prejudices and really loved it...

brown rose on xanadu has the same 1956 sessions as the vogue vol 2 and the thompson/gryce (vogue vol 2 unlike the others has the trio with trunk; there is also a cd called lucky sessions with the trio plus vogue vol 1); the high note is a different session from 1958/59 with michel hausser... (there is also theJiP disc with sammy price btw...); thompson is on at least two sessions of the clarke americans cd...

stupid question, claude... which cities are really good? think i did find discosold and also wasn't too impressed, mostly cheapo stuff for 10 euros... some of the smaller ones had a better (but small) selection or a cheapo one at lower prices (i enjoy browsing those but it may not be everyones cup of tea...)

don't know what lucky in paris is (the one on high note?)... but you really should get the thompson "americans swinging in paris" disc - imho it's the best of the 1956 paris recordings and the only one you're missing... i keep hoping for the milt jackson material, or some of the other american recordings, since i have most of the french ones... You called it, the "Lucky In Paris" is the one on High Note. I'll have to check out the "Americans Swinging In Paris" disc if it doesn't overlap what I already have. check for yourself, but it shouldn't overlap, the four sessions on this one are owned by emi... quintet with emmett berry, quartet with jean pierre sasson on guitar, quintet with solal and guy lafitte, quartet with solal, four glorious sessions...

would also be interested in answers, only time i was there i was travelling in company so no time for extensive searching:) ! there were a bunch of (four or five) decent used bookstores with cd sections on rue du midi roughly between rue des bogards and rue des pierres... if you go by manneken pis into the direction away from the center the best cd shop i saw was into the second (or so?!!) street to the left on the right hand side after a few meters... (maybe bs, don't take too serious although this was the best store) generally the used cd market (no idea about vinyl though i did see some...) seemed very healthy then (a year ago), healthier than anywhere i've been in the last years.... so some goole search for music stores could be the thing to do...

nice review of the bolton album http://chancelucky.blogspot.com/2009/02/du...sic-review.html still wondering about the tracks with anthony ortega...

weird indeed, maybe they didn't anticipate that universal would get active again... (still, the mps catalogue is rich enough for two or three companies ) (also, somewhat strange that universal started again so shortly after licensing stuff to that promising music guy who make the japanese looking reissues... almost as if he got them thinking) and promising music is also selling mps stuff from universal http://www.promising-music.com/index.php?o...1&Itemid=35 here it says (in german) that promising music is a jointventure with universal http://www.jazzthing.de/news/080306/2.shtml are the candoli albums the first mps albums by the spaniards?

we are now left wondering about the unissued material free for all has heard...

It certainly does! What date was that recorded and who else is on it? from the fresh sound website... apparently, the extra material are no alternate takes but two mps albums...

the django are the april and may 1942 brussels sessions, http://www.gould68.freeserve.co.uk/djanm2.html don't think they are that well-known (don't have the cd here, four tracks are piano/django duetts, iirc the rest feature django with two different big bands (names didn't tell me much, the big bands of stan brenders and fud candrix), one with django's rhythm section of the time, the other with a different rhythm section; one of the big bands has a string section added...)

just in case anyone hasn't started their jazz in paris collections the from belgium with love box for 9$ http://www.amazon.com/Belgium-Love-Various...8558&sr=1-2 (just 5 single cds in a cardboard box, including two of the very best Jazz in Paris discs, Rene Thomas "Real Cat" and Bobby Jaspar "At Club St Germain des Pres" plus three more which are no slouches either, Django Reinhardt "Place de Brouckere" (not so great recording quality but you get to her django on violin on two selections...), and the cds by Gus Viseur and Toots Thielemans (on guitar and occasional whistling, no harmonica... with the great georges arvanitas on piano...))

rob are you referring to Peace Treaty or If? if he refers to peace treaty, don't take him serious wish i'd have more substantial things to say, peace treaty is a very nice, comfortable hard bop session with a number of beautiful melodies, (jimmy woode's sconsolato...) (so it's all a bit prettier than a usual hard bop session); nothing exceptional occurs but shaw does play a number of solos which are perfectly good (not better, he's one of my favorite trumpet players...) (a bit like on capeverdean blues for me, otherwise it's a fine album and as an added bonus you get some (but not the full dose) of woody shaw)... guess i really rank the album similarly to capeverdean blues, both as a shaw fan and otherwise...

Happy Birthday and all the best!
