7/4: Dusty Groove has had copies of those two Impulse cds a little bit cheaper, but not much. I've been tempted, but held off. . . I have lp copies. . . Seriously great and wish they were out on domestic cds!

Or consider this: take the Mosaic set, dump the tracks into a computer, apply some judicious equalization, voila: "new" remastering as far as the law is concerned (I think), certainly in the world of advertising weasel words this would qualify as "new." Probably the same thing occurred from the Revenant to the JSP Charley Patton sets (I've heard neither of those).

The first JSP set is remastered by Ted Kendall. I have never heard the second and have never owned it; I believe that the remastering is uncredited, and I'm 99% certain it was not by Davies or Kendall (would have been credited). The fact that it is uncredited, like the work on many of their other most recent sets, makes ME inclined to think "lifted" is the method.

I'm with Guy---this material does not seem repetitively performed to me! I'm eager for this box set! All the material is great!

oh, and I have to confess to collecting Hendrix. .. .

Honestly, I haven't met a Hampton-led session I didn't like! I like this one!

Like Eric I have been collecting books for a long time, don't care about the appearance of the printing just want the material, have thousands of books at home. I don't think I'll ever move. . . . I also used to collect comic books til I woke up one day in my early twenties and said to myself "What the fuck?" Wasn't DCs though. I sold most everything. I've kept Dr. Strange and I've added Kitchen Sink reprints of Spirit stuff. I seem to collect stereo equipment sort of by accident. . . .

Many More!

Yes, I only know Tyler from his work with Ayler, and his two ESPs. Wonderful stuff! GREAT player!

I've been digging that disc since the day it was released on Savoy/Denon cd. I remember my friend Dave who was then jazz buyer of Tower telling me that it was coming up on a Tuesday release, and I dashed up there on my lunch hour! That series of Savoys was a voyage of discovery for me, and I still feel sentimental about many of the cds. I had only a handful of Savoy lps before Denon commenced that series and I was fascinated by the lp reproduction and the wonderful sound (which still holds up as great cd sound).

Fats. I mean it has to be Fats. But a more modern (decidedly, and not a piano based) version that I really enjoy is by Barney Wilen with Enrio Rava. Very cool.

Don't lose faith! Mine was scheduled for Friday. I got home at about 5:45: NO BOX SET. I was calling out loud to no one to hear things about UPS that went beyond "BROWN." And I even went and looked out back, because sometimes they leave packages out back. NOPE. So I get over it, I say oh well, I can get it Monday and still live, went in to the kitchen, started to cook dinner, then went out to the front porch for a moment about twenty minutes later. . .a n d there it was on the front porch! Could happen soon, okay? And don't boycott jazz. Ayler is. . . jazz?

Yeah Mark! Where is that darned thing? Get a tracking number?

Stefan, the sound on this release is KILLER! Better when compared to the tree. Material not on the tree sounds wonderful as well. I mean, there is that one very rough session (Town Hall, just heard a little bit of it myself so far) but the material is pretty much all it can be sound wise here. All the transfers were done by Ben Young, and he did some of the mastering along with Kevin Reeves and one other whose name I can't remember right now. Still it sound MEATIER than a lot of Verve material with these engineers (which can be for a number of reasons, I don't care, sound is really well done).
