It's quite good in my opinion Brad, nice selection. Same great sound. Lots of jazz people. A few things not on cd elsewhere I think.

The Martians are coming is a Burnt Sienna Alert.

Me too, I just love every second of Monk on this one! Timeless stuff, every minute and all contributions from all participants.

Good call Bluesnik; I gave that as a gift recently and bowled the recipient over!

All those Roulette sessions had great sound (and Addey does them real justice with his remastering). This is a good choice for a centennial reissue, and its companion two cd compilation set, "Basie and Friends, 100th Birthday Bash" is a great one too. How I wish they had reissued "Stringing Along with Basie"! **Edited for spelling and to add title of "companion reissue". . .

Yes, I had a long reply prepared and then my computer crashed! Anyway, Jack is someone I've been listening to a lot over the last decade and I reallyl see his work as a whole, and there aren't many "just start here" moments. The album(s) with Hackett ARE a good place to start and they are on cd from Collectables, and a good recommendation! I also really like "Misery and the Blues" which was finally reissued on Verve in the LP By Request series. It's darker than some of his efforts and yet I really consider it one of his best "official" albums. Also worth sampling are the releases on the Vernon Records label; live mateiral from various periods and great notes and engineering. "Meet Me Where they Play the Blues" is also a nice cd from OJC, and another good cd to pick up is the Bethlehem cd. . . . Jack was not always consistently great, and there are some recordings that have dull moments. I've actually learned to like the big band recordings but it does take time. And I love a lot of sideman appearances in the early thirties. . . . I like his work with Goodman and with Ben Pollack and you can find a lot of these on cds, but it would depend on your tolernace level/like of hot dance and thirties pop music. . . ! If you do like this sort of music, the Classics may be a good route to explore those released under his own name. Tea is one of my very favorite artists. I'm glad you have become interested in him! There are some similar threads on the board too you may wish to seek out.

I only know the man from the SRO disc myself. Looks like a great cd! There is always something out there to find. Life is good!

Great next step! I can also heartily recommend the new Columbia reissue "Piano in the Foreground." This is one of my favorite Ellington releases. . . some beautiful tunes on there hardly ever given the treatment they deserve.

Joe (Milazzo) right here on this board was the first to let me know about this and I'll be getting the dvd for many reasons, but this is definitely an added one!

Yes. Both the Bakers in the series are excellent. The Roach isn't my favorite from that band, but for the price is a bargain!

Yes, this is the stuff. . . I love to hear these cds. .. !

Some gin and wine should be breathed genly into jazz horns every day. . . .

Way COOL. Two wonderful people. . . a nice pairing.

Oh no! Computer screen splatter again!

Guy, thanks for posting that!

Okay. . . .Wow, sort of sounds like recording in Van Gelder's living room with his home-made equipment, doesn't it? I don't buy his cds. I'm not crazy about their sound and the music is rarely that compelling. I've already bought all the isolation components I need from. They really WORK. I'm very happy about them. Don't buy any Savoy or Roulette or anything that Reig or Cadena were involved in, or. . . ? Their recording methods were awful and they were crooks.

Wow, well let's get busy boycotting about every jazz label then! The products are fantastic. I don't know anything about the guy, and I sure don't believe everything I read at Jazz Corner. . . but the products are wonderful, and I'm glad I have them.

Okay, I guess I read your post wrong. The earlier material is just more and more my meat these days. . . .

I ordered these. I have the Jaspar on an earlier Emarcy cd, and wanted to hear the JIP. I think that after these I have all the titles except maybe the fourth Cinema one and the Grapellis and Oscar Petersons. . . which I don't feel driven to pick up. . . .

The way I see the download album Verve situation: we're unlikely to see these sessions AS cds, so I'm glad they found a way to make them available. I don't have a lot of time either, but I make time for things like this if I want the material. . . . I'll probably be working on these when I have the right equipment next year. And personally I like making covers etc, it's a fun creative diversion. For instance I made several hundred sets of artwork last year for over 100 Hendrix titles that I received without art and almost more than that even cdrs of live broadcast material. I developed a sort of house style for both projects and had fun!

Yeah Laton, it was out from Japan. It's an interesting---humorously intended to my ears, not really essential---Teefski session.

Okay Brownie it was a typo!

I have all the psychics I know working on it!

Brad, I'm not sure I understand this. . . . Blue Note was founded in 1939 with boogie piano recordings, and blues/New Orleans style recordings, and small swing groups and grew to champion some modern jazz proponents who became icons such as Monk and Bud. Bu wasn't a force til much later. . . . I'm not discounting Blakey's importance or even his consistency. . . . But he wasn't the wellspring your statement seems to make him.
