kh1958

I meant the 10 disc set. Perhaps I'm too free with someone else's money, but it's in the air.

The track with the Master Musicians of Jojouka on Dancing in Your Head (and three unreleased LPs). A recording with Clarence Samuels in 1949 in Natchez, Mississippi--not released or unknown. John Lewis--Jazz Abstractions on Atlantic.

Paul Bley--the early live recordings at the Hillcrest club. Howard Shore's Naked Lunch Soundtrack. Charlie Haden's duet album on Horizon. James Blood Ulmer's Tales of Captain Black on Artists House.

Instead of piecemeal purchases, the Verve Bird box set is what you should get.

Gilbert Gil at the Nokia Theater in Grand Prairie--A wonderful acoustic concert, with Gil on guitar and vocals, his son on second guitar, plus a cellist. A couple of solo songs, a few duets with cello, mostly trio in a two hour concert. Very relaxed and beautiful. Just me and every Brazilian in Dallas-Fort Worth.

oh god......someone at prestige made a bad decision i just took a chance today on a very nice clean liberty issue Monk Genesis of Modern music vol. 2 thats "electronically rechanneled for stereo" as per the cover, however the blue note label on the lp just says: stereo. so im hoping for the best........ I have a nice clean volume 1 electronically reprocessed Liberty version if you want to complete the set. (I listen to the Mosaic set or to the CD.)

My memory is not exact, but I believe that group was in the range of two to four years earlier than 1989. By 1989, I believe he had Sam Rivers and Ed Cherry in his band.

Recent additions: John Abercrombie--Wait Til You See Her Jan Garbarek--Dresden

Shirley Scott--Soul Searchin' (Prestige, yellow and black) (previously owned by Ed Bradley of Detroit Michigan--?) The Stuff Smith Memorial Album (Prestige blue label) (sold to me on ebay by the preceding poster) Donald Byrd--Mustang (Blue Note, NY USA label, Liberty cover) Gary Burton--The Time Machine (RCA, black label)

Charles Mingus--Southern Methodist University, McFarlin Auditorium, November 19, 1974 First blues concert, a few months later--Freddie King, at Mother Blues in Dallas. Second jazz concert, Dizzy Gillespie at Mother Blues, 1975. (Also, James Clay and Marchel Ivery at the Recovery Room in this time frame).

That's a very nice recording in my opinion as well. Found a promo copy back in the '70s.

That's odd--Greg Osby talked quite a bit the last time I saw his band, about the time when Nine Levels was released.

Gene Ammons--Boss Soul (Prestige mono, blue label).

Andrew Hill--Black Fire (Blue Note mono, NY USA)--Today's lucky find for $13, with the record close to near mint.

I laughed, I cried, I shook my head in bemused incredulity... I did sort of wonder what happened when John Hammond and Leonard Feather were in close proximity. Could they not be contained within a single room? Or did a mutuality of self-admiration create a bond of friendship?

I'm really enjoying the John Hammond series.

Disappointed to read the word "boring" next to Eric Alexander's....i'm trying to save some money to buy the Venus Ballads albums : is there anyone else who would have an opinion about them? Thanks Boring is his middle name.

Of course, that first session on Savoy as a leader is great in its entirety.

If I had to name just one, Charlie Parker, Koko (Savoy).

I certainly won't knock this. It is good, if genteel. That depends on your feeling about late Chet. If you actually like that record I think you'll enjoy the rest of the set more, maybe even much more. In general, I like the good late Chet the best of his work (and this is one of them).

I'll disagree with David on Etudes - it's a great set with Haden, Geri Allen and Paul Motian. There's a superb version of "Lonely Woman" on it. I always quite liked the Haden record with Chet Baker also (the only one of the Haden set I have so I'm tempted).

Yes, the cover to that LP is partly red.

Three Trumpets (Donald Byrd, Art Farmer, Indris Sulleman) (Prestige, W. 50th) Eric Kloss--Life Force (Prestige, blue label)--a very nice record, the 18 year old leader with Jimmy Owens, Pat Martino, Ben Tucker and Alan Dawson.

I stumbled upon Jean Michel Pilc at Smalls a couple of years back--a nice pianist. New Dreams and Live at the Iridium are quite good.

The Solo Guitar of Bola Sete (Fantasy). A beautiful record, not reissued on CD, I don't think. John Young Trio--Themes and Things (Argo). A really nice record. Milt Jackson at the Museum of Modern Art (Limelight). A truly elaborate gatefold. Harry Sweets Edison and Eddie Lockjaw Davis-- JawBreakers (Riverside stereo, black label)
