That unnumbered disc plus catalogue was sold as a regular JinP issue. Not for free. The A4 brochure on the other hand was available for free until all copies were grabbed!

That title track just kills! Move over Frank Wright, Joe Henderson's in town! -_- ← Love all of the four tracks. Got kicks out of reading KD's quote from the Nat Hentoff liner notes when the next tune to be recorded was 'Mamacita':

The JRVGs have inside liner notes in Japanese only. If you need to read the original liner notes in english, you'll probably have to use a magnifying glass to read them

Joyeux Anniversaire Hope you have fun at the Clifford Brown Festival! Great idea for a birthday party

Love it! A pure illlegal pleasure! Lonehill people release awkward assemblages but they did do right on that one. Two rare Roost LPs crammed in one CD. Playing time is two seconds short of 80 minutes.

The New Sound reissue of the Bird box is a series of six 3CD sets. The content matches what was included in the original vinyl box. A CD box replica of the Italian job came out on the Japanese label Sound Hills. Sound Hills also released replica CD boxes of the Prez and Lady Day vinyl boxes.

Agustin, since you found out about those Happy Birthday discs, are you aware of the two CD set from Roulette that came out as Duke Ellington Live at the Blue Note? Thought I already had this as a Vogue/Roulette CD that came out under the same title. But this one turned out to be different. The Roulette 2CD has music from three sets recorded at the Blue Note club on August 9, 1959 with the band in royal form. None of the information is listed in either the Timner book or the Lord discography (at least in the paper version). Thoroughly recommended set produced by Michael Cuscuna, remixed and edited by Malcolm Addey. Another one to get if you don't have it!

I saw those samplers in several Paris stores... No brochure for you then Oh I love Paris

I would say the US remasters were the same material as the Japanese ones (Ron McMaster did the digital transfers on those) but I never bothered to get those. I had enough of those Omega (Onyx vinyl then Japanese BN, then Mosaic Select) reissues until that Fresh Sound CD which keeps me happy!

Informatively: for non-US fans, Universal has a June 20 release date for the Mosaic Clef/Verve box.

Never, do you have the unnumbered JinP sampler with the CD-sized catalogue? If you have that one, you're complete. And in that case I'll mail you a copy of the 24 brochure that heralded the first 100 CDs in the series. It's in French. That'll teach you

Sure, I'm a big fan of Les Paul! But I've grown tired of wishing him a Happy Birthday He was already a veteran when I was still a teenager. Caught him live several years ago and he was still putting a hell of a show! The moon is not high enough for him

The videos of that Comblain Coltrane concert has been shown several times here. Got this on VHS somewhere. Very nicely filmed by Belgian TV. The 'untitled original' is listed as 'Vigil' on the Landscape CD.

June 8: 1939 - The Port of Harlem Jazzmen (Frankie Newton, J.C. Higginbotham, Sidney Bechet, Mead Lux Lewis, etc...) record session for BN 1944 - The Keynoters (Jonah Jones, Charlie Shavers, Budd Johnson, Johnny Guarneri, Milt Hinton, J.C. Heard) record session for Keynote 1946 - Aaron Sachs's Manor Re-bops (Terry Gibbs, Gene DiNovi, Clyde Lombardi, Tiny Kahn) record session for Manor 1954 - Dizzy Gillespie Sextet (Jimmy Cleveland, Hank Mobley, Wade Legge, Lou Hackney, Charles Persip) record session for Norgran 1956 -Earl Coleman (Art Farmer, Hank Jones, Wendell Marshall, Wilbur Hogan) record session for Prestige (Earl Coleman Returns) 1956 - Cannonball Adderley (Nat Adderley, Ernie Royal, Jimmy Clerveland, etc...) record session for EmArcy (Julian Cannonball Adderley In the Land of HiFi) 1961 - Stanley Turrentine (Shirley Scott, Roy Brooks) record session for BN (Dearly Beloved) 1973 - Roland Kirk (Ron Burton, Todd Barkan, Joe Texidor, etc...) record live at Keystone Korner (Bright Moments)

One small regret about this Great Find. It's the only one. Wish there had been some contributions in the liner notes from surviving participants in the concert. Probably Max Roach could not be available but that 'young 'fay soldier named Tony Sciacca' as described in the July 1945 Down Beat article probably had some memories from the concert. That's Tony Scott. A great raconteur with tons of recollections. Pretty sure he would have had great stories to tell about the concert.

Great lady, great actress. Anne Bancroft was superb in 'The Miracle Worker'. Wish I had seen this on stage but watching her performance on screen in the Arthur Penn film adaptation was gripping.

Father and Sons great Gospel anthology from SpiritFeel Records with sides by R.H. Harris and The Soul Stirrers, Archie Brownlee and the Original Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, Julius Cheeks and The Sensational Nightingales!

Never saw that Bean box. I have a flier somewhere announcing the release of it! Quite a number of rare items - which have yet to be issued elsewhere - were included in it. It was a limited edition box. Like the Charlie Parker, Lester Young and Billie Holiday boxes that were issued in Italy at around the same time. Those boxes were limited to 300 copies!

The 'Hollywood Stampede' that is on the Classics series is the side recorded for Capitol. The 'Hollywood Stampede' from 'The Silent Canary' was included in the 21-LP 'Bean' box of Coleman Hawkins rare and unissued sides that was published in Italy by the people who also produced the Queen label vinyls.

Everything that LAL said! Cheap box with with superb music. Found the box which I had never heard about during a visit to Tower back in my NY visiting days. There still is a $27,99 price tag on the wrapper. Stanley Dance wrote the notes for each of the discs. Playing time is a bit short, about 40 minutes for each CD. The whole thing might have been squeezed into 3 discs (hello Mosaic, anyone there???) but I'm not complaining!

Go London!!! I say...
