    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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. Yes, this is the stuff. . . I love to hear these cds. .. !

    Way COOL. Two wonderful people. . . a nice pairing.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Okay, I guess I read your post wrong. The earlier material is just more and more my meat these days. . . .
  11. 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. . . .

  12. 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!
  13. Yeah Laton, it was out from Japan. It's an interesting---humorously intended to my ears, not really essential---Teefski session.
  14. Okay Brownie it was a typo!
  15. I have all the psychics I know working on it!
  16. 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.
  17. Kevin, about the only thing that drives me nuts is people who say things like "bits are bits" and the Consumer Report type of thinking about audio components!
  18. beatscience: WELCOME! Fantastic news! Please keep us posted.
  19. I've never heard the early cd. I do indeed think that the new RVG has excellent sound.
  20. I would be very surprised if they did a compilation. Most likely they would choose like five or six lps to put on three cds. . . . I would guess that they choose: cirrus knucklebeans inner glow head on waiting the view from the inside
  21. This is a very good series . . . I like an awful lot of these titles very much. The Stan Getz is wonderful. The Bernard Pfeiffers were a revelation to me. The Earl Hines and Mary Lou Williams and Wille the Lion are great.
  22. Good calls here, all these are great that I have heard. Also. . . I've learned to dig the Yerba Buena stuff I've heard on this and other labels. Haven't heard those George Lewis sides. . . but I will.
  23. I've often fantasized about the ability in the near future to go out into space and harvest these signals somehow of those early thirties nightclub broadcasts by Ellington et al. . . . Some research I've made seems to indicate that could happen; some seems to indicate it couldn't. Either way a better expenditure of money than other "star wars" type space travel schemes.
