kh1958

Popsike shows a high of $561. Two sales in $500s Eight sales in $400s Nine sales in $300s Five sales in $200s And a low of $183.

That looks rather interesting and had escaped my attention; I ordered one too.

Isn't this inquiry about a Muse recording?

Joe Wilder--The Pretty Sound (Columbia six eyes)

Duke Ellington--Bal Masque (six eyes red and white promo)

I like the groups on Debut in Blues and Breakthrough. They seem like actual working groups with otherwise little recorded or even unrecorded musicians; they are perfectly fine. As for Carnival Sketches, I mostly like the first side--the suite by Richard Evans; the trumpet playing on this side is fantastic.

I've found those old black/yellow Prestiges to be similar to original Blue Notes in that they may still sound alot better than they look, at least absent feelable scratches.

I agree with you; Debut in Blues would be a first rate candidate for reissue.

Dusty Groove issued Breakthrough. There was a Japanese CD issue of Carnival Sketches. Debut in Blues has not been issued on CD.

There's also a Fantasy reissue of My Favorite Quintet on a single LP. Here's one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHARLES-MINGUS-My-Favorite-Quintet-LP-JWS-5-fantasy-Records-/230759214639?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item35ba522e2f#ht_324wt_117

That's terrible news. I heard him live about a year and a half ago at Jazz Standard in an Alvin Queen led group--he still sounded great. And back around 1985 or so he played at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth with David Newman (plus guitar and drums) for a weekend engagement. I was there two nights in a row. Probably the most inspired I ever heard David Newman play, that group was really good.

I would have voted for a 60 CD set, but only 6 were offered.

Billy Taylor Trio, volume 2 (Prestige, W. 50th) Duke Ellington Showcase (Capitol)

He regularly posts on twitter and in fact is currently in the UK for a weeklong residency at Birmingham Conservatoire.

Another pre-order placed; I just found a copy of this on LP last fall, a rather terrific recording.

Art Blakey, Indestructible (Blue Note, Liberty blue and white) Don't drop it!

Yes, that's One on One: http://www.amazon.com/One-Stephane-Grappelli/dp/B000000XTB/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1331312654&sr=1-1

I sent an email expressing my point of view to the contact email address on the mingusmingusmingus.com website: jazzworkshop@mingusmingusmingus.com

Violins No End (With Stuff Smith) http://www.amazon.com/Violins-No-End-Stephane-Grappelli/dp/B000000Z2B/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1331299972&sr=1-1

I voted for the 6 CD set.

I can't locate the CD to listen myself, but I guess my ears aren't what they used to be, and/or computer speakers are a poor substitute for a real stereo.

I have six of the volumes on Masters of Jazz. Volume 1 (1937-39)--I don't think any of this volume is rare. Volume 3 (1943): There's just one track of Lester with Basie, an AFRS G.I. Jive Transcription. Volume 4 (1944): No live material. Volume 5 (1944): No live material. Volume 6 (1944): This volume has some broadcasts, Basie from the Lincoln Hotel (one track), the Jammin' the Blues soundtrack, broadcast with Hot Lips Page and Charlie Barnett (1940)j, and Lee and Lester Young broadcast (1942). Volume 7 (1945-46): Only live material is a JATP recording.

Last night, Lucky Peterson at Tucker's Blues. A very extended set (2 hours and 30 minutes). Some incredible guitar playing tonight, and lots of piano. Plus a new drummer in the trio. And as a bonus, Lucky was selling a recording of a set of the group performing at the Iridium, from whence they had just returned.

A few of them are available from amazon sellers at elevated prices.
