I just greedily studied the booklet at the shop, so I can give you a rough idea of the Mingus sideman stuff: the trios of John Dennis / Paul Bley / Hazel Scott with Mingus and Roach; a session by Shafi Hadi with Clarence Shaw; a session by Jimmy Knepper with Joe Maini and Bill Triglia; two Thad Jones sessions one with Frank Wess, one quartet; Oscar Pettiford with Julian Watkins and Phil Urso; the Quintet concert with Dizzy, Bird, Bud Powell, Mingus and Roach (and the trio tracks with the latter three); and there is more...

thank you very much! I always thought that I already had a lot of luck during the past exams and stuff but by now I think I could use some more! Ubu, I think you got me wrong, I have not yet turned it in but still have some things to add and (especially) livein the constant fear that my advisor will ave some more ideas about potential changes, additions... i have a job from October on but until then I have to turn the thesis in, get the Mingus, present the thesis twice, do a horrible final examination, probably move to another appartment... so at the moment I am also looking forward very much to being finished but I doubt this state will last long after October... cheers with your box sets, niko

sorry, no insider on this, the thing that stands around at their shops is about 30 cm times 30 cm big and has a booklet the same size, approximately half a centimeter thick, 12 CDs I don't know...but not much less, it definitely is not the 4 CD Debut records story set, will have a closer look at it tomorrow (will have a closer look at it tomorrow and report - decided to buy it after I turned in my diploma thesis as some sort of motivation... thus didn't look at it too closely yet... but the strong interest it raises here makes me a little nervous...)

hi ubu, got your pm (twice, at 6:58 and 7:00 (my time) yesterday evening), just answered it and even have the answer in my sent items folder... now off into one of the potentially most horrible working days of the last few months... Niko edit to add: don't know anymore when I got it, must have been like at 10 yesterday evening

this one appeared in the 2,99 corner of 2001 (saw it first yesterday, I think): Israels, Chuck HANNOVER PHILHARMONIC PLAYS MUSIC COMPOSED AND CONDUCTED BY CHUCK ISRAELS Nardis explorations, Monkworks, Reflections on Shanandoah, Dark tapestry, Lover man, Great stream variations) Mit Ack van Rooyen/Flügelhorn, Thomas Clausen/Klavier, Radio Philharmonie Hannover des NDR/Chuck Israels. mood. Nur bei uns. CD 2,99 €. Nr. 599053. maybe you fell better after ordering it...

the düsseldorf store still had it yesterday... (though cologne is certainly a little closer to belgium, admittedly when I am in both cities on a day I also go to both stores, sometimes it pays off, mostly it doesn't ) also waiting desperately for the other jaki byard at lennies CD to turn up, after getting the "last" one on monday... I really hadnt expected so much great new stuff don sleet, don wilkerson "texas twister", joe albany wth warne marsh, barry harris "newer than new", zoot sims at falcon lair... to turn up just in the middle of a month... others I still hope for are howard mcghee, the 1960s contemporary stuff with phineas newborn and teddy edwards... more don patterson!

on the negative side let me add that jack reilly put a copy of his letter to the editor on his blog http://www.sequenza21.com/reilly.html another for this one and not only to keep things balanced edit to add: here is what reilly answered to a Jim Smart who wrote some comments on that letter - if this is poetry it sure is the most unfriendly and arrogant poem i have ever seen... it sure is weird

it's a pity they didn't let that guy write the article, might have been very instructive (more for Louis Sclavis and John Surman, however, than for the reader...)

didn't Ornette Coleman have one of his first professional jobs with Crayton?

similar thing (?) happened to me with The Cure sometime last year (depeche mode are still on my explore list)

i suppose this text is the answer to some sort of very rude attack

Yes. Devil is always waiting ´round the corner.... i don't like to say this but I just browsed their online catalogue and there really were some additions (Pat Martino - Strings, Wes Montgomery - Full House, Harold Land - In the Land of Jazz, and more...) I bought yesterday: Kenny Dorham 2 Horns // 2 Rhythm and Joe Albany with Warne Marsh

this is my first experience with "out-bop" ... sounds ugly (or s that a widely used term)

from what I found I would say anyone who has the possibility should check out the local 2001 store... (concordconcordconcord ) I bought Barry Harris "Newer than new" Don Wilkerson "The Texas Twister" Don Sleet "All members" for 2,99 each but left (for the usual reasons not more than two CDs at a time) there, among others, Sonny Stitt / Gene Ammons "God Bless...", Rod Levitt, Sonny Stitt "Goin down slow", Joe Albany with Warne Marsh, the third Chet Baker with George Coleman, Oliver Nelson "Straight Ahead" and "Afro-American Sketches" and many more which came in today

just saw this is not really correct, some stuff from this batch is already sold out (Kerry Dancers ) at least online, other stuff was (I think) added to the online catalogue after 1 July, like Philly Joe Jones "Philly Mignon", McCoy Tyner "13th House", the third Johnny Hammond Smith... I was early at the shop today they were just preparing the new items (not available online I suppose) and I could just see Oliver Nelson "Afro-American Sketches" and that three people were busy with the CDs so I hope hope hope that when I go there again (very soon) that there will be several very nice CDs waiting for me...

this somewhat cryptic entry *Lenny McBrowne & The Four Souls Lenny McBrowne & The Four Souls, PJ-1, 1959 (Re-released by Toshiba Emy of (city_____ , Japan-----year?) C.D.? on this Daniel Jackson homepage http://www.learningtreats.net/DanielJackson.htm seems to suggest that the album actually was released on CD sometime (btw on the page it also says that Jackson's mother came to California from Texas - so Jackson is another Texas tenor with "Ray Charles"-experience who appears in Cannonball Adderley's production series for Riverside (besides Fathead Newman, Don Wilkerson, James Clay (and anyone else? still lokking for a complete list of the Adderley productions))) I'd love to have those two albums, but on Vinyl I would not listen to them often enough

no possibility to vote for "European"

I guess it's more some kind of leftover sale - they get new stuff in now and then, it seems (when I did my second order - the above one is the third - I bought all I wanted, so most of the above wasn't in stock back then...). But I wouldn't wait too long, if there are things you really want... (Screams stage right from bank account) Thanks. (Screams stage left from hifi.) It's taking me three days to play through all my recent albums at present. Ah well. MG of course, whats sold out is sold out, but usually they change their programme every two months (= next time from August to September) maybe then there will be new 2,99 ZYX CDs but from what I see at the local shop I don't really believe it, the market seems to be somewhat "filled" (like Booker Ervin "The Song Book" for 2,99 lying around for more than a week without being bought)... I don't know if I remember the number right but I think they had bought about 300000 CDs from ZYX I suppose they can't continue until they sold them all

looking at his early record covers now I find the clothes very ugly in the first place (don't have the pictures right now but I think, e.g., Robert Smith of the Cure wore similar (but much prettier) Hawai shirts around that time) but as you said it paid off...

first saw that cover filed under Pop/Rock at my local record store... (wouldn't know where to put classical musicians playing jazz either, world music? haven't heard it)

my dad (born 1949) left me only 9 LPs (i think he essentially stopped listening to music around 1972 and was just beginning again at the end of his life when I began listening) this is the list john coltrane - kulu se mama miles davis - nefertiti gary burton - feelings and things don ellis - electric bath soft machine - vol. 2 and fourth pink floyd - ummagumma and atom heart mother rolling stones - it's only rock'n'roll but I like it very much late 60s but still pretty flawless and a great collection for someone who didn't buy more... looks a little like someone helped him (when I asked him about his LPs in the mid 90s he said, well they were sure not bad, the best ones were by a group from the netherlands called soft machine)

this is indeed a good argument - at least there will always be as much chet baker available as one may want to buy suppose i will take mabern and once upon a summertime and will later add the other too if I want more baker or more coleman (which is rather likely - but this is how it always turns out)

thank you all for your recommendations - looks as if the decision is really not that simple, (partly because the stuff is not so essential that one is forced to say "get all of them" - especially given what else there is at this price) I think I take one of the Baker/Coleman CDs and than get the others depending on how much I like each of the two... (although de Valk seems to favour "Once upon a Summertime" of the three Baker CDs) (but as I am typing I'm listening to Johnny Griffin "Grab this" and think that I should maybe get Griffin's "Kerry Dancers" first, one at a time turned out to be a good rule, since I usually can't keep from going there twice a day - you never know what's in the "blue boxes") (thank you, Ubu, also for that short moment of imagining the Bud Freeman / Chet Baker record - those 20 seconds before it dawned on me that you meant Russ certainly belong into the better part of this day)

admittedly, buy 299 get 1 free doesn't sound like a great offer... strange thing is, i think, that inbetween all those 2,99 and some 1,99 CDs there is one CD, Stan Getz "Quartets" which is supposed to cost 3,99 - I am constantly tempted to buy it just to find out why... but have resisted so far
