I've long thought this group of recordings needed a good remastering/lavish box treatment, but without 'Round Midnight - which was culled from the same set of sessions but offered to Columbia as Miles's first recording for that label - the story of this quintet will be incomplete.
I think the Prestige 'Round Midnight is a different recording and was originally released with most of the December '24 '55 session with Monk. I presume that it will be included in this box set. (It would be cetainly be incomplete otherwise.)
Sorry, I mis-spoke - the Columbia 'Round ABOUT Midnight was recorded at different sessions (Oct. 1955 and June 1956) than Cookin', Relaxin', etc. (May 1956 and October 1956). I suppose the intent of the box is to tell the story of the May and October 1956 sessions, but it's a shame that the 'Round About Midnight sessions can't be included. One of them took place between the May and October 1956 sessions, after all...

Hello All,
I am new to this forum, this is my first post. I have started to listen to jazz in a more serious way.
Would someone list for me in their opinion what is considered to be a must have in jazz music.
As I want to start getting some new sounds. Be it old or new I need some help here, thanks.
Jay
What jazz do you have and like?
-
I have no............ORGANISSIMO!
OK, now you've done it, Mister Threadkill.
-
Ah, well - Mozart's very cool, deserves his day (or year), and is moving to me on any given day...and not, on any other given day...
Like a lot of others.

No Louis Armstrong, no Art Pepper, no Carla Bley.
All very different, of course, and all astonishing (as musicians and as omissions).
Compensatory confession:
I have no Jackie McLean.

How about this:
I don't own a single Mosaic set.
I figure thats the worst possible sin on this site.
I admit it - neither do I.
Not a one.

Not much of the the pre-Bebop guys. No Basie. Only a box each of Duke and Satchmo (hot 5s and 7s, blanton webster band), both criminally unlistened to. (well not UNlistened to, but definitely not enough.) Also low on vocalists, a couple Billie and Ella, one Sinatra, thats it.
Otherwise im pretty proud of the small collection I have been able to accumalate over about 8-9 years of jazz fandom. Not a lot of depth, but the bredth (girth?) is there!
PROUD?!? This is no place for pride, mister. This is a place of shame. No Basie, you say?

and free for all...nice welcome for a vegetarian!
Hi Jason! Here's your new avatar!

You can't lord it over the rest of us like that, GK, strutting around the thread with your fancy-pants "very little" this and that. Surely there is some jazz giant by whom you have nothing??very little parker and mingus
CONFESS!!
-
So, time to 'fess up - which major jazz artists are completely unrepresented (as leaders, let's say) in your music library? I mean, you have not a single disc by that jazz giant, and find it bewildering and shameful.
I'll go first, tremble though I must, and admit that I have no recordings by Ornette Coleman. None. Zilch. I don't know why.
Don't leave me hanging out here lookin' the fool all by myself - CONFESS!

I've been enjoying Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday, a two-disc cherry-picking of the 10-disc complete Columbia box. I actually don't know her Verve material much at all.
Hmmm...

In Arhoos, Denmark, they say Vin-ding, everywhere else it rhymes with wind .
"wind" with a short "i" (like what you do to a watch) or with a long"i" (like moving air)?
I think you've got those backwards...
Quite right. Reverse that.

What about THE CLASH?
One of my favourite band.
At one time, they were widely referred to as "the only band that matters." And the wide referrers were right.

Rooster and the others are exactly right - don't delete the thread. We need to be reminded.

Ooops, my bad. Had a lag and double posted.
By that "kind of trumpet", I mean the straight tone and phrasing. It's cool and all that, it's just not what grabs me personally. But it works really well on the Abdullah Ibrahim cover, and that's the track that kept me from hitting the Stop button the first time through.
Gotcha. I haven't heard the album - just trying to get a sense, since I dig Allison and Wilson a lot.
-
It's growing on me. Sneider play the kind of trumpet I usually don't give a second chance to. But the material's good enough to make me listen some more.
Ah. Well then - that's much clearer.

So you knew someone was going to ask - what kind of trumpet is that, exactly?
-
Off topic and forgive the grumbling, but I still can't believe that Chattanooga, Tennessee, birthplace of Bessie Smith, Jimmy Blanton, and Yusef Lateef, doesn't have a single dedicated jazz club.
But here I sit.

What kind of pricing do you have in mind, felser?
-
• What are you listening to?
• What music did you buy?
• All Things Emusic
• Yourmusic.com
• Dark Star - Grateful Dead
I also check in often in the Album of the Week forum, just to see if I can add anything...which isn't all that often.

Just received from yourmusic:
Moussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition • Byron Janis (piano), coupled with Ravel's orchestral arrangement by Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra/Antal Dorati (Mercury SACD)
Strangely, the disc itself is labeled as containing cello concertos by Schuman, Lalo, and Saint-Saens...though the music is definitely the Moussorgsky.

New Miles Box?
in Re-issues
Posted
Right, thanks - that's what I was tying to express. Just a sense that it would be nice to have all of the quintet material together.
