Here is the link to Sun Ra's "New Steps", coming out in 9 days: http://www.amazon.com/New-Steps-Sun-Ra/dp/...9348&sr=1-5

I have ordered it, but have not received it yet. Working in the Far East now, hope it is there in the mail when I get back home in a week.

Well, Mr.Nichols' wonderful music deserves a great book!

There is always a way to get out: http://www.opensuse.org/en/ No more viruses, no more pain, only bliss.

Didn't notice those links, but have deleted the reference now.

These two are fine collections of great Bechet too: Shake 'em Up Up a Lazy River

Mighty! We have been waiting just a little bit for this. Another one here for a reissue of "Unity".

Just got "Driftwoods" in the post. Another great Blake album! Playing favorites and film noir inspired. Here is the most recent newsletter: http://campaign.constantcontact.com/render...yH4G_G98Q%3D%3D

Just noticed this new reissue. How is this album? http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=64n...p;ref=index.php

What's the best Dixieland band ever? (Not to digress, but it just seemed appropriate). My suggestion: http://www.worldsrecords.com/pages/artists...nier_64571.html That first song is about..who?

Seems like the label was bought by Koch Records in 2005: http://articles.latimes.com/2005/apr/08/en...ent/et-quick8.1 Here's a previous thread too: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/lofiversi...php/t43818.html

Here is from amazon.com: Amazon.com This box set earns the "deluxe" designation not only because of its handsome packaging, insightful essays by Holiday scholars, and testimonials from the likes of Tony Bennett, Sonny Rollins, and Etta James, but also because of the vastly improved remastered sound that makes Lady Day the definitive issue of Billie Holiday's pivotal 1930s and '40s Columbia/Vocalion/Brunswick/OKeh oeuvre. The sides here include epochal collaborations with Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Lester Young, Teddy Wilson, and others. Six-plus discs chronologically present 151 masters, with the rest of the 10 CDs' space given to alternate takes and radio air checks. It was during the early years of this period, of course, that Holiday quickly developed into one of the 20th century's vocal monuments. Her incisive way with lyric and melody, often deploying playfulness, wit, and pain in a single song, became a model for both many a female singer, as well as Frank Sinatra and Marvin Gaye. These are records to be endlessly replayed for many kinds of appreciation. Played end to end, they introduce ideals of groove and emotional expression that remain fresh and even startling many years on. Lady Day is not only a perfect example of how to reissue key material, but is an album that will stand as a beacon for veteran Holiday fans and for the new ones it will no doubt attract. --Rickey Wright A review: http://livingwithmusic.com/2006/01/12/the-...ay-on-columbia/
