Sounds like I may have to enter SACD territory pretty soon!

There were TWO volumes of Graham Marsh' The Covert Art of Blue Note Records. Volume 1 was widely distributed but volume 2 quickly disappeared. Managed to get volume 2 before it disappeared.

The Roswell Rudd 1966 Impulse album 'Everywhere' is superb. A rare opportunity to also hear the incredible Giuseppe Logan. Also like Rudd's 'Flexible Flyer' Arista album where Sheila Jordan made another poweful appearance. Both albums need to be reissued.

Bud Powell - The Amazing Bud Powell, vol. 2 (click here to buy) The Man with the Golden Arm's Gold Finger pointed in my direction for the November 23-29 Album of the Week. Initial reaction was to pick the Jimmy Lyons 'Jump Up' album on HartHurt which I had been listening and been overwhelmed by just before I got the news. But this seems hard to get nowadays so went for an easily available and even more overwhelming album: the RVG reissue of the Amazing Bud Powell, volume 2. This particular edition because it is the most complete representation so far of the memorable August 14, 1953 session when Bud Powell with the discrete but very present backing of George Duvivier and Art Taylor recorded for posterity such masterpieces as 'Autumn in New York', 'Glass Enclosure' 'Reets and I' among others. The RVG reissue went one better over the previous editions when it introduced five previously unissued and amazing tracks. Let's talk about this album half a century (and three months) after it was recorded. If by any chance, you don't have the album: get it, it is really AMAZING!

UNSEAL it! This is music to listen to, not to look at

There is a new Japanese-produced 3CD box released by Warner Europe with all the material Village Vanguard 1961 Bill Evans/Scott LaFaro/Paul Motian. The box seems to contain one additional track and various short tracks featuring introductions and talks between the musicians. Sound has been analog mastered. Anybody heard this yet? Is the sound improved over the previous issues?

The Paris Jazz Corner record store has published a vinyl picture disc vinyl 10inch reissue of the six titles that Ernie and Emilio Caceres recorded for RCA in 1936. http://www.parisjazzcorner.com/uk/dis_list...u&page=1∏=1 They also have a Robert Johnson picture disc vinyl 10inch reissue. Both have color drawing by Robert Crumb on one side. Crumb also designed the brown paper bag for the two records. Both are limited editions. I was unfamiliar with the Caceres sides and found them pure joy! The Robert Johnson, well! It's Robert Johnson. Is there anything to add?

Couple more reissues from BMG France I have seen in stores here are: - Rene Thomas/Bobby Jaspar 'Thomas Jaspar Quintet'. The 1961 Italiana RCA date by the superb Belgian duo of Jaspar and Thomas with an Italian rhythm section. - Chet Baker 'Chet is Back'. Another Italiana RCA album that has been reissued previously. The new reissue adds four commercial sides that Chet recorded with Ennio Morricone during his Italian stay in the early '60s.

This is one of my favorite Larry Young albums. He plays organ on that duo date. Original, beautiful and very evocative session. It also swings. Joe Chambers is a drums master.

The Italian label Camjazz has released Fellini Jazz, a new album by the excellent pianist Enrico Pieranunzi. Pieranunzi has surrounded himself with Kenny Wheeler, Chris Potter, Charlie Haden and Paul Motian to play his arrangements of mostly Nino Rota compositions for the films of Federico Fellini. A nostalgia-filled imaginatively played album. Highly-recommended.

Catching this late. PM me if you still looking for the two items. Could tape them for you. I owe you one, remember!

Well done, Dan! Will be watching for the Cadence interview. But yes, go after Weinstock. The man seems very, very interesting. Am sure he has hundreds of unheard stories that need to be told.

Same here. This has happened twice in the last purchases I made from Mosaic. Don't recall how much it added but it was pretty substantial.

Joyeux anniversaire! Hey, shouldn't this be on the Politics forum?

Joyeux Anniversaire! Make it a happy day...

The Urtreger/Bud Powell album was a 10incher. Wish the good Jazz in Paris people had included the very rare Urtreger trio album he recorded in the late '50s for the Vega label. It's never been reissued and could have fit in.

Checked on the two LP twofers to compare with what's on the 2CD set. LP 1 of the first set had sides by Ray Bryant, Hank Jones, Tommy Flanagan, Mal Waldron, Red Garland, Cedar Walton, Wynton Kelly, Thelonious Monk and John Lewis that had previously been issued on other Columbia/Epic LP albums. LP 2 had tracks that Henri Renaud produced in New York (when he recorded enough material for the double LP sets). The only track on LP 2 that is not on the CD set is 'Woodyn' You' by Al Haig. All the other tunes from LP 2 and the second twofer are on the CDs. Strange that they did not include the Haig track. It's 4m30seconds and could easily had fit on the CD set.

I'm glad Charles Lloyd could not make the date. Joe Henderson always managed to produce provocative and innovative solos. Henderson was a sincere musician. And he was just that on Point of Departure. Always thought that most of Lloyd's output remained superficial. All potatoes, no meat. That's Lloyd's music to me.

I have volume 1 of those Bebop piano sets. It had a number of previously issued tracks by people like Ray Bryant and Ahmad Jamal. The CD had no unissued tracks. All the material on the double CD was on the original LP twofers. I think only one track from the LP sets was missing from the CD reissue. Will check again when I can locate the LPs I stored away when I got the CD.

From Reuters: Arnold made only one record with ABC 'Wailing'. Excellent one. It was reissued years ago by Fresh Sounds.

I'm happy with the Braun Synchro electric razor I bought after the one I had before broke down and had me reporting this on the forum to start this thread. It does the job fast and clean. It's the no-frill model not the self-cleaning top of the range one. Out2Lunch, my heart goes to you. Hope you will be back at manual shaving very soon!

The Mal Waldron/Steve Lacy at Dreher package seems to be offered at reduced prices. Got mine for 18 euros (about $20). That's about the price for regular HatArt single releases. Have seen the set elsewhere at prices ranging from 20 to 35 euros.

Mikeweil already replied about the bonus tracks. Those new Warner Jazz France reissues are in regular plastic CD packs.

Say, how does that Proper Box compare with the Mosaic Tristano/Konitz/Marsh?
