Got the CDs, thanks!

I actually have this LP. It's a gatefold and it carries scores for the tunes in it. These are albums for the buyer to play along with. Let me know if you need more info. As for the market for this kind of record, according to a survey carried out by Down Beat in 1959, their average reader was a 26-year old male who played an instrument. F

It could pop out at Wolfgang's Vault? Also, if that festival was recorded by the Voice of America, it could be at the Library of Congress. F

As long as it has all the Getz-Brookmeyer studio recordings, I'm happy. It is astonishing that they've never been done properly. I did a Spotify playlist and put it up in my blog, and the music is incredible. I've lobbied for a 3-CD set with all the SG-BB 1953-1954 recordings (studio plus At the Shrine); besides the music itself, Brookmeyer and pianist John Williams are alive and well as far as I know, and that'd make a nice interview for the liner notes. What I do hope (in vain, I guess) is that the Hip-O guys review their prices. At least in Europe they're simply ridiculous. F

The Eddie Costa is a gem -- for Eddie on vibes and also because it's some of the best first-period Bill Evans. The rhythm section is half that of "New Jazz Conceptions," with Motian but with Wendell Marshall instead of Teddy Kotick. Agreed, although I would have loved to hear both Costa and Evans, who were friends, playing a piano duet (Evans would do it with Bob Brookmeyer, and Costa had done it with John Mehegan). Evans intro to "Adelaide" is something else. Sounds like he's quoting Chopin's Heroic Polonaise to me. F

I picked this one up for a dollar a few years back, thinking it was going to be total camp. But it's actually very good - Donald Byrd, Eddie Costa, and Jimmy Cleveland are among the All-Stars. If you like those two TV-themes albums, you'll probably enjoy the soundtrack to Satan in High Heels, originally on Charlie Parker Records, it came out with two titles (Blues for a Stripper is the other) and two different covers. On CD you have it by Collectables and Fresh Sound, possibly others too. The title track is quite catchy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbWE4O3cBCs) The album can be heard on Spotify Regarding Porgy & Bess, I looked into it a bit for an article on 1959. There were two previous jazz versions (the Bethlehem all-stars, and the Satchmo-Ella), but it seems that the MGM film (a flop despite André Previn's Oscar for the score, featuring Sidney Poitier and sung by Bobby McFerrin's father) sparked a small furore: Miles Davis with Gil Evans (Columbia), Hank Jones Quartet (Capitol), Ralph Burns (Decca), Bill Potts (United Artists), and Mundell Lowe (RCA). Down Beat even devoted their Jul 23 issue to the film and the music adaptations. F

Hey, Bertrand, thanks for posting the list, first of all. I placed an order of 13 CDs + a 4-CD set, and got this response Which is very good, although it'd be better *for them* if they mentioned that they'd ask for confirmation after a shipping quote. So, again, thanks, F

This is what I get on the site F

Has anyone ordered from Daedalus internationally? I'm asking because they don't tell you how much they're going to charge you for shipping, that it'll be "at cost". Which in my experience can be anything, really. Thanks, F

I don't have a problem with that, as long as part of that money goes to preservation and archiving of materials... If that's not too much to ask. F

First step towards the solution of the "Andorran problem"? :rsmile:

I don't think I get the rationale of this "private recordings" being omitted. The "Honey Body" is not a private recording? What about the last tracks on CD3: Dizzy Gillespie Sextet Concert, Lincoln Square, NYC, Prob. 30/5/1945 : Sweet Georgia Brown; Dizzy Gillespie Quintet Concert, Philadelphia, 5/6/1945 : Blue ’n Boogie? Or is this just code for "we're not touching the Mosaic Benedetti box" and a few other things? What about the Town Hall concert released by Uptown? Wait and see, I guess. F

Off the cuff, he's very good in some Boogie-Woogie stuff... From a Mosaic Select (no. 30) (G) HARRY JAMES AND THE BOOGIE WOOGIE TRIO: Harry James (tp), Pete Johnson -1, Albert Ammons -2 (p), Johnny Williams (b), Eddie Dougherty (d).

Received, thanks!

FWIW, this and other Uptown CDs are available for listening in Spotify F
