  1. Yes I have noticed. Interesting. Next thing you know Mosaics of EMI material will! Just been listening to and really really enjoying the Baby Huey Water. WOW!

    Me either. If this is Sims' idea/notion/action I don't understand it. I'm glad the company WANTED to reissue it. . . .
  3. I prefer the Orgies to the Skins as well. Hmmmm . . . . Orgies. .. Skins. . . Holiday. . . !
  4. Hmmmm. . . I have these. . . I really don't listen too often. . . sort of boring to me. But then again, I'm not getting rid of them!
  5. Wow, there are so MANY. Here are a few of my favorites: Miles at Fillmore Miles at Blackhawk Ellington at Newport (you name it!) Basie airchecks with Pres Cannonball Adderley at the Jazz Workshop Thelonious Monk at the Jazz Workshop
  6. To clarify Brownie, I guess I should have said "cd sets" because I have heard very few of the LP reissues, and none of those two lp sets. . . . What I was referring to were those that Ron and I posted images of.
  7. Well, they do both have one thing in common: both have been BERRY BERRY GOOD TO ME!
  8. From the Adderley website I read this: "The Masquerade Is Over was a 1938 hit by Herb Magidson and Allie Wrubel." (May be in the liners to the Cannon with strings lp, I haven't read those in some time, though I've spun the music recently; it's killer stuff).
  9. Yes, and mention MUST be made of: and
  10. OUCH. Sorry to hear that. Or not. It will be sweet to hear when you return!
  11. Classics is one good way to go, you'll get overlap though of the material you now have. . . . But you haven't bought the Victor material yet, so it may be the best way to get the Columbia and Victor material (and MORE) sans alternates (which are available from Neatwork). That said, I really like the Columbia sets out. . . sound could be a little better but is not at all bad, and the way the music is grouped is cool and the music is out of this world great. Then there are also those European releases from Definitive et al. . .
  12. CDU. . . got it last night. Yours will arrive today. . . I can feel it coming on!
  13. Man oh man, this is right up there with the Ayler box and the Hill Select as quality reissues of the last months. Wonderful sound on this. And DEPTH to the music. Deceivingly so on some selections. Singing by a number of artful pipes including Leon Thomas, Honi Gordon, Milt Grayson, and Eileen Gilbert. Very interesting different bassists. Jack Parker doing all the right things on the skins and brass discs. Mary Lou's incredible piano, so resonant and RESOLUTE. Even two selections of the lady on ORGAN recorded in Rome. I'm so happy this is out!
  14. I dig it. . .but. . . is it on PINK NOTE?
  15. I've never seen this. . . have a two cd set (would fit on one but that wouldn't mack much money right?) I like the music (not really that much Ornette, but cool stuff).
  16. A number of titles have come out on cd over the last two decades, including a number from France. . . .
  17. I have all but the most recent batch.
  18. I always assumed the first name was "Written."
  19. I love the version on this one: I didn't realize the song was written in 1938! Did I read that right?
  20. RT! I would love "Hot Spot!" 'spossible? THANKS! I would like to offer up on this thread as my kharmic duty: Duke Ellington, 1940 Vol. III, Chronogical Classics This is a very cool cd with Victor material. . . . Great sound for this vintage stuff.
  21. Joey D. and Jimmy?
  22. I think the originator of this needs to work on it some more so that it smells even before reading!
  23. I don't know how true this is,,, BUTT,,, I think it's a neat story ! ! __________________ Here's an interesting piece of information. You should know this stuff. You may be asked to share your expertise sometime. Never can tell... In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern.... KA BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term, "Ship High In Transit" on them which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved a certain term. Take the first letter of each word of, "Ship High In Transport and you have that word. You probably didn't know the true history of this word, huh? Well, neither did I.....
  24. I have two Paul Jeffrey lps that I LOVE!
