I can almost imagine how they sound! Kudos for building those yourself. I too am an audiophile. . . but I have so many recordings I have to store many of them in a climate-controlled storage space. . . it's about the music to me ultimately.

Perhaps amazon.co.jp has decided to not source these going forward. Looking at a few of these titles on cdjapan.co.jp still shows them "available from supplier." It could be that there was an availability limit on this series (there sometimes/often is on Japanese releases, a set date when they may be no longer available) and amazon Japan may not reorder after that date. I don't know. Though it wouldn't surprise me that they may not be available for too much longer, they seem to be able to be ordered elsewhere.

Yes, he also spent about a decade and a half with Dave Holland. All the cats in this edition of the SFJazz Collective are worth hearing.

Miles Davis "At Carnegie Hall" electronically re-channeled for stereo Columbia LP. Yeah, fake stereo. Still sounds pretty good as it has for the many years I've had this one. Quite a night! There's another whole Lp's worth that is also great music.

"Dave Burns" Vanguard LP Bass – Steve Davis Drums – Edgar Bateman Piano – Kenny Barron Producer – Clarence ("C.B.") Bullard Tenor Saxophone – Herbie Morgan Trumpet – Dave Burns

Horace Tapscott Quartet "The Giant is Awakened" Flying Dutchman/International Phonograph Inc cd Alto Saxophone – Black Arthur Blythe* Bass – David Bryant, Walter Savage Jr. Design – Robert Flynn Drums – Everett Brown Jr. Piano – Horace Tapscott

Aretha Franklin "Aretha Arrives" Atlantic cd From the "Atlantic Albums Collection" box set. There was no one quite like Aretha.

20 tracks with Pee Wee Russell--the good stuff.

Doug Carn "Infant Eyes" Black Jazz/Real Gone Music cd. Every time I play a Doug Carn on this label I think "This is my favorite." Truth is I love them all.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the set from dustygroove this morning.

SFJazz Collective "Music of Miles Davis & Original Compositions" disc 2 This disc 2 of original compositions is one of my favorite from the Collective's released work.

That's the way I feel about most modern vinyl reissues. I spend my money elsewhere. The Lost Recordings cds can be found reasonably priced, or at least I did.

Jackie & Roy "Bits & Pieces and Free & Easy - 1957 Sessions" Fresh Sounds cd

The Terry Meyers Orchestra "A Tribute to Benny Goodman"

Jessy Stacy & The Famous Sidemen "A Tribute to Benny Goodman" Atlantic/Koch cd Alto Saxophone – Heinie Beau Arranged By – Heinie Beau Baritone Saxophone – Charles Gentry Bass – Artie Shapiro, Morty Corb Drums – Nick Fatool Guitar – Allan Reuss Piano – Jess Stacy Tenor Saxophone – Vido Musso Trombone – Murray McEachern Trumpet – Ziggy Elman

Cassandra Wilson "Thunderbird" Blue Note cd This woman's work amazes me.

I was surprised how much I like the Jackson covers, and the original compositions material is excellent. I've enjoyed all the editions of this collective.

Hope you are digging it.

Needed something a little mellower after that Griffin! Coleman Hawkins "Good Old Broadway" JVC XRCD

Johnny Griffin "The Little Giant" JVC XRCD Been a long time since I played this SWINGER.

I don't believe English is their first language.

Keith Jarrett Trio "Yesterdays" ECM cd

Donald Byrd and Barney Wilen "Jazz in Camera" Sonorama cd Unreleased soundtrack album of an aborted film project, produced July 1958 by Sandro Bocola and Dennis Bailey in Paris. Transferred and mastered from unique transcription discs (acetates), recently discovered in the estate of Barney Wilen as only remaining source. Bass – Doug Watkins Drums – Al Levitt Guitar – Jimmy Gourley Piano – Walter Davis Tenor Saxophone – Barney Wilen Trumpet – Donald Byrd

I really like the Jobim and Wonder tours, as well as the Silver and Miles Davis. But to be honest the "Original Compositions" discs in any of the tour releases are well worth hearing. There is a two cd set compiling Miguel Zenon's original composition performances that is excellent.
