The Complete RCA and Columbia Recordings of Una Mae Carlisle. Or maybe the Roy Eldridge box.

I missed that one, having probably burned out on enthusiasm for Sco by then. What was the name of the release with Scofield and Harris?

Wanted to bring this thread up again and thank Chris again for the killer photos!

It's time to put all this behind us, and get behind the Una Mae Carlisle resurgence!

You're welcome. The Carmichael legacy must be honored and proselytized!

Very interesting Couw and R, and I don't at all disagree with the comparison or the suggested reasons. Both Kirk and Harris had an understanding and a fluent technical knowledge of almost the entire jazz tradition and contemporary popular music. This set them apart from quite a few of their cohorts, and moved their music off onto tributaries of the mainstream. It's a strength for their art, and probably an aspect that weakened their critical acceptance. Both were monster players! I enjoy the work of both men immensely!

I hated to hear this, and I know nothing further; I'm just reporting what I have heard and hope is wrong. The source I heard this from I won't mention unless he agrees to allow me. Let's just hope things are ironed out and we can enjoy the box set in time. If I hear anything further, I'll update the thread.

Neither, this and a Hawaii concert two cd set have been released by a British company that purports to be "official" but is actually a company that has been releasing boots. . . . I'm puzzled that these have been distributed. Perhaps the estate has made an arrangement for these, but there is nothing anywhere that I have located that makes mention of autorization.

I've actually heard from someone who spoke with Stollman that the box set WON'T be coming out because as the estate's agent (I guess?) he's opposed to it. That's bad news I hope is ultimately not going to be made true.

Those are just remixes of tracks from the Axis album on disc one, I've heard. Disc Two has some very interesting material not related to the original album. I have over sixty Hendrix releases . . . mostly of course unofficial. I find that much of the unreleased material I like better than the released. I feel about Hendrix's music the way that I feel about Monk's, Miles', Mingus', Ellington-Strayhorn's and some others: I find value in all that I have heard.

What? You didn't know that Hoagland was born in Bloomington, Indiana? Where ya been?

That was my understanding as well. Maybe they'll slipcase the two cd sets together in a "limited edition." I'm gonna buy 'em all one way or another.

Damn, if they don't release ALL those jam sessions that were released (and there MIGHT be some extra material surrounding the released) I'll be PISSED!

I'm sure they will release more. . . they just won't be in this numbered series.

This is the last one folks! The last one! Til they announce a new limited edition series. .. .

Yes, In A Silent Way never did have a metal spine. I figured that may have been because it was "A New Direction in Music." Okay, if that were the case the Quintet box would have only a half-assed spine. So here's the 64 dollar question: will #3 have a metal spine?

Those McShann sides (which have also been released on other labels, notably the Jass (maybe, one of the Stash labels) and Masters of Jazz, are FANTASTIC! "Swingmatism"! I tried to get a friend of mine to name his little swing/jump unit that but he didn't. . . went with "The Barons of Rhythm" which is cool (a name of a Basie band at the Rheno Club in KC).

Damn, you're right, I keep forgetting! Are we still battling the Red Menace? Oh now it's Terrorism now. I get so confused.

There, I've jettisoned mine away. We can delete any topic we start I think; there is a little "Moderation Options" field down in the left corner. Hans showed me that trick some time ago--thanks Hans! I think this is a stinking lousy gimmick, this deleting the spined sets! And it would work on me if I didn't have these already; I like the metal spined sets!

Heck, I'll delete mine.

I guess my sanity's probably in question once again. I've beat those tests before!

Okay, the board finally let me log on! I'm there now as Pops Fan. I started a Una Mae Carlisle thread. I think her time has come. She LOOKS JUST LIKE NORAH JONES!

I've actually grown to like this one. . . .
