  1. http://www.worldsrecords.com/cgi-bin/store...saved=songstart http://www.worldsrecords.com/cgi-bin/store...saved=songstart Links to two cds that contain the Carnegie Hall version.
  2. I have a copy of the Spanish cd of the soundtrack version of the "New Orleans" film (in fact, I have one for sale, as I also have this on the Jazz Crusade label) that includes a version of this, AND I also have, I believe, a different version on a Classics disc. I haven't played the latter in years and I'm not positive that they are not the same, but I believe the Classics includes the Carnegie Hall version with Pops.
  3. Thanks for the info Chris.
  4. What for instance if the Garner estage wanted there to be color cover reproduction and back cover reproduction, with original liner notes? That is not necessarily what Mosaic does. What if they don't like the price that they would have gotten, ultimately from Universal, not Mosaic? What if they are PISSED OFF AT UNIVERSAL for reasons we don't know and want to find a way to do things themselves in time? What if they wanted a better price than Uptown could deliver (okay, Chuck may have said it isn't about the money, I don't know if he did or not, but the estate may have assumed that Uptown would never be able to give them what they wanted)? What if they wanted the Garner portion of the concert to appear under its own banner, not lumped in with the Bird and Diz, so that Erroll wasn't overshadowed by Charles and John? I don't know. I just think there are possibilities out there that we don't know about, and frankly I don't expect anyone here to actually have the answer to deliver FOR the estate.
  5. Tha's a lotta blue!
  6. I saw a digital pic of what purported to be the earlier cds circulating; had a little sticker on it identifying it (legitimately or not I don't know, not being able to firsthand analyze or familiar with the label's work product) as a "work tape" version for the label's use. I have burns of these six earlier discs and they sure do NOT sound "bootleg quality." They sound VERY GOOD. The ebay item is I believe a different animal from the earlier cds circulated.
  7. Yup, my hunch proved correct: someone already has it on ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW
  8. Yes, I share your joy. One correction: my error: the critic (Ken Dryden) posted this on All About Jazz. . . he may post at Jazz Corner too, I don't know, I don't go there at all often.
  9. One critic that posts on Jazz Corner has indicated that he received last week advance copies of the Cellar Door box set. . . . Which makes the September 20 release date look. . . probable.
  10. Maybe they have their own plans, maybe they want to have more control and are waiting for the creation of a project/product line that allows them artistic and marketing control, I don't know. In a way. . . I sortof admire what may be their stance. They could be respecting the image of the artist and his work, and attempting to methodically produce the very best possible vehicle to present his oeuvre. Possibly. Without information I'm not going to condemn them!
  11. ARGH! I probably have all this stuff already! Which is nothing to complain about!
  12. I'm a big Lex Humphries fan as well! Anyone that Coltrane and Lateef and Sun Ra want to employ is okay with ME! Check out this page: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/hardbop/Humphries/Humphries.html Some favorites of mine: the various Ra appearances Have Trumpet, Will Excite! Nights Of Ballads And Blues Eastern Sounds The Centaur and the Phoenix The Three Faces of Yusef Lateef Giant Steps Coltrane Jazz Soulnik First Bassman Seems as if he disappeared into Philadelphia in the seventies . . . . Died there in 1994.
  13. Such great deals there. . . I wish I hadn't paid more for most of the series before finding them on sale at DG! My last purchase from DG was "Brown Sugar" by Freddie Roach, and the "Shorty Rogers Quintet featuring Jeri Southern". . . .
  14. "Louis Armstrong Plays W. C. Handy" was the lp that got me caught up in the world of traditional jazz. I found that lp in a Chicago area record bin my first year in college and it slowly worked its magic on me, and made me a Pops fan for LIFE. Maybe for post life too. The one that made me move from being a blues-rock and blues fan to a fusion and then jazz fan was "Filles de Kilamanjaro". . . . Freshly returned to the states from Swaziland, very lonely and blue in a small rural Ohio town, I found this in the library and it opened up my ears! It had a little bit of Africa in there, which helped. I borrowed it and listened to it for several weeks. Then went into Cleveland and found a copy of "Miles Davis at Fillmore." I was from those weeks forward an electric Miles fan, and then from that artist forward I began to follow sidemen and discover the world of acoustic jazz. . . .
  15. It's one of the "hot" Byrds!
  16. The Herbie is so great it counts as THREE.
  17. Now we know why this set went right to last chance! They looked at it a few weeks ago and went "DUH! Why the hell isn't the great Pepper Adams ON THE FRIGGIN' COVER?" Then they ran out to the office to make this embarassing situation go away!
  18. My guess is with "the" Sidewinder. . . . I would guess that the decision was made NOT to make another print run because of time-limit on the licensing, and as a result a quick disipation of remaining stock.
  19. Cool, those work for me. . . thanks!
  20. For all those curious about the contents of the Jazz in Paris box sets: Okay it's not available by directly linking to pages, it doesn't work that way. But here's the main link: http://www.universal-music.de/html/ Go to the link. Punch in "Montmartre," "Saint Germain", "Rive Gauche" "Champs" . . . each of these will lead to a page where you can select the link to the box set. When you get to that page, select the link that says "Detailansicht" and you'll get the complete personnel information!
  21. I think all the Columbia material is worth hearing actually; "Jazz Goes to College" sounds pretty decent for an early cd, and has great playing. Like "Red Hot and Cool" it is closer to the OJC style of quartet playing (to my estimation) than a number of the later Columbia releases. The ones I love the most are "Time Further Out" which sounds great in the US cd, and a "Bossa Nova USA" (my parents had both these lps as I was growing up and I played them a lot) which is out in Japan but not the US on cd. . . .
  22. I have? Yes, I have. A life must have crept up on me!
  23. I don't know, with my system, with acoustic music recorded properly, it seems there is a "right" volume above which anything else doesn't sound quite right. So I don't find many albums of my steady jazz diet that must be heard LOUD. Now electric Miles, that's a whole nother kettle of fish and I find that I like to hear several sides of Big Fun and Get Up with It louder than I usually listen. And Axis Bold as Love. . ..
  24. What? Who's producing this thing? KEEPNEWS?
