Been watching Smallville Season 3 There are worse ways to waste time.

Ha! RIP Ola!

I agree with you there. My wife and I don't need to see these people. We skip or wince our way through til the Hollywood episodes; I can't get her unglued from the set from that point on. I guess these painful and demeaning episodes are money in the bank for the producers and networks though.

I love that Legacy box set! A fantastic set. . . soundwise. . .booklet wise. . . . Selection and programming wise. . . .Because it was not "complete" in any way Keepnews didn't mess it up! Well, because the RCA box sets are long out of print, I'd recommend the JSP boxset series out recently. They look great (I haven't purchased them, I have the material in King Jazz cds) and the music is just wonderful. They started with the Second volume. . . get that.

My fear is that it's going to be a lot more than the Fargo that is duplicated. It could include other previously released Storyville issues, and material tacked on the volumes of DETS. It just feels like a wrong move for those who have been supporting the Ducal Storyville releases all this time. I really don't care a fig about Morganstern notes and photos at this point.

Dexter Gordon Prestige, disc five

So I have to rebuy Fargo and other things just to get some unreleased bits? Why is Storyville doing this to us? They never used to jack us about in this way!

I just absolutely love the albums with strings. I'd recommend Lord of Lords, or World Galaxy.

Yes, Welcome! Thanks for the information and the sharing of memories!

I think all those in the batch with Raney, Roberts. . . are jewel case.

Okay, Larry, I'm the one who's dumb because I swore you were recommending the intended pronounciation as the "jazzopiators" . . . as in opium users/eaters . . . .I read your "OP" as in Oscar Peterson or Ron Howard.

I dislike Proper. Setting aside the "legal to sell in the US" issue, they rarely include complete sessions which bugs me, and they don't sound that good in comparison with other issues of the same material. I avoid them.

I get it. Hmmm. . . not sure that was intended, but maybe.

Thanks for starting this thread about the Shepp cd. I'd missed its release. I just ordered (ouch, it was expensive).

It's just trying to protect copyright. . . I understand I guess unconciously and it doesn't bother me. I've noticed NO degradation at all by ripping and importing. None.

Good work, oh Pigpen historian!

We're not likely to see one of those Aric. Previous thread on Ella stamp: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...955&hl=Ella

Really? I guess no surprise considering previous Moore projects that made it.

Felser won't do downloads, though these are really good ones. John. . . I don't understand. . . can't you authorize another computer to play your purchases? I've autorized another one of mine (both Macs, maybe that's a factor?) And can't you burn a cd and import to something else? Seems I've done that.

I think you're correct, that Lonehill operates out of an area with a different copyright law. So it's not illegal for them to rip off the lps and sell in THAT zone. It's still therefore, I think, technically illegal for them to be sold in the US and maybe other markets. The labels have to go after the distributors and sellers in the US if they go after anyone. . . .And that's dicey business I would bet.

Still thinking about this movie. . . in the end the beautiful sets and cinematography are lingering in my brain favorably.

The "Capitol Paris session" is really a United Artists session, first issued as a UAJ lp. You're right of course, I have the UA lp (Cuscuna says this is fake stereo but sounds like real stereo to me) and the Capitol cd and the Storyville cd. Not sure why Storyville gets to reissue it.

And yes, the duets also appear on the Storyville Strayhorn cd, along with the Capitol Paris session with string quartet and voices.

Yes, I have this one preordered. . . though I was so disappointed when this was announced that it wasn't a show from an earlier year. Bill, you're still young. Might have another 55 to go!

Miles Davis and Gil Evans "The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings." One of my favorite box sets in the world.
