I have interest.

A bunch of fast cars all in a row. Around and around and around they go.

I'll have a #2 combo, hold the bass solos.

The Complete Capitol & Atlantic Recordings of Jimmy Giuffre Disc 5 – Jimmy Giuffre 3 – sessions for Trav'lin' Light and the first half of Western Suite (Atlantic) — With Bob Brookmeyer and Jim Hall

Three of the other titles also have new tracks: Pablo was also home to the great Canadian pianist Oscar Peterson. He teamed with French violinist Stephane Grappelli for Skol, recorded live at Tivoli Concert Hall in Copenhagen, Denmark, on July 6, 1979. The two legendary leaders were joined by Joe Pass, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and Mickey Roker for the performance, from which three additional, previously unissued bonus tracks have been added to this new reissue: “Honeysuckle Rose,” “I Got Rhythm” and “Solitude.” Herschorn again adds new notes to this anniversary toast. Skol! Trumpeter, composer and bebop trailblazer Dizzy Gillespie was already a living legend and veteran artist at just 57 years of age when he recorded Dizzy’s Big 4 with Pablo labelmates Joe Pass (guitar), Ray Brown (bass) and Mickey Roker (drums). Gillespie looked back to his own classics (“Be Bop” and “Birks’ Works”) and popular standards (Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson’s “September Song,” Fats Waller’s “Jitterbug Waltz”) plus an original (“Frelimo”) for this all-star jam session. Two bonus tracks will appear for the first time, alternate takes of “Jitterbug Waltz” and “Russian Lullaby.” Concord’s Nick Phillips promises that, true to form, these significantly different alternates show off these talents at their improvisatory best. Willard Jenkins writes the new liner notes. Finally, OJC revives Zoot Sims’ tribute to George and Ira, Zoot Sims and the Gershwin Brothers. The saxophonist is joined by Peterson, Pass, George Mraz on bass and Grady Tate on drums for this 1975 set newly annotated by Doug Ramsey. The Pablo 40th anniversary edition adds three bonus tracks to the original 10 songs, all previously unreleased: outtake “They Can’t Take That Away from Me” and alternates of “Oh, Lady, Be Good!” and “I’ve Got a Crush on You.” This swinging LP proved that Sims and his ace rhythm section and the Gershwins were a match made in musical heaven

From the Concord site "For the OJC reissue [of The Ellington Suites], a new track will be added: the previously unissued 1972 “The Kiss,” recorded that the same session that yielded The Uwis Suite. Historian Ashley Kahn puts it all into perspective via new liner notes."

Happy Birthday, Lon! Hope you enjoy your time off next week.

Welcome, Chris.

The ones I have so far have sounded fine to me. I'm interested in the Bley and Cyrille sets from the upcoming batch. I'm still considering some of the previous boxes (Cecil, George Adams, George Lewis, Muhal & Waldron). Any favorites?

Finished Season One of Justified.

Boo.

NC did jazz coverage for another publication before joining the Times.

Looks like Bruce Gertz's site isn't up any more. Maybe someone has his email address...

Another big 50-CD classical box is coming in September: The Decca Sound - The Analogue Years http://www.amazon.co.uk/Decca-Sound-The-Analogue-Years/dp/B00E0H8KAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374764046&sr=8-1&keywords=B00E0H8KAQ

Just ordered the Carter/Bradford. Have the Dixon and Hemphill - both excellent.

Although Æðelwulf has a nice ring. The Royals are a good value for my tax dollar. Not sure why I should care, though. And everyone is astonished that dad can buckle a car seat!

Ah, I thought it was an archive of a live set from Wes Montgomery.
