I agree, it's very disappointing if this is not relased on redbook discs!

You're absolutely right. For some reason I always reached for that third (and final) lp side of the second one.

Yes, Fresh Sounds is hitting the Savoy material HARD lately! All this music is fantastic. (Note that Lateef had only one side of the Stablemates lp, the other was an A. K. Salim session, now on his Fresh Sound two cd set). You're right, why didn't Savoy/Atlantic finish what they started. (Oh never mind. . . Keepnews. . . the market for jazz reissues. . .Bush/Cheney. . . )

I want one. Should we plan a bank heist?

At first I thought the Reptet had gotten signed by SONY!

I like it. I like the two guitars one as well. Those would be the Mathis I DO like. . . . Not that crazy about his voice but he could sing.

Chrissie Hynde: The chicken crossed the road with the full support of PETA. Some son of a bitch might eat him. He couldn't stay in the middle of the road. Nor could he stay trapped in a world that he never made like Mr. Stress and Howard the Duck. He had to fuck off! Besides, Mr. Stress offered to let him crash in his back yard. http://www.clevelandseniors.com/people/mrstress.htm

The chicken crossed the road to buy a fancy power cord. It's not safe to do so on this side of the road.

Lindsay Lohan: Damn chicken was afraid I'd run over its foot.

T. S. Elliot: June is the moulting month When the hen with cantering grace Strode across the boulevard Seeking the somnolent ease Of the Lady and the Leopard. I don't like eggs. Don't tell my wife.

Blame Phil S for Miles Ahead not Wilder. (I actually like the results, I was never that attached to the lp version).

Well, my experience differs. For "Round About Midnight" get the two cd deluxe version that includes the Pasadena show. Win win there. I find the SACDs of the Miles titles to sound very good (I don't have them all but I do have some) if you have an appropriate player.

Best one yet Jon!

Lots of Sackvilles~!

Jack Kerouac: Burning bright jazz streams chick vaulted through starry night to turn the key to the gleaming engine that was that other side the mad side the Dulouz hemp-lined hot side.

Personally, I find nothing wrong with the sound on the Secret Sessions box! Both box sets are good, but the Secret has more variety.

Great description! On a related note Helen Merrill inspires that kind of imagery whenever I hear her...but I'm not going to post what that is for fear of being banned! Helen Merrill. . . Another great singer, indeed.

If anyone has any fancy expensive power cords they don't want send them to me.

Still a helluva deal imo.

Wynton Marsalis: Now that chicken was funky. Not in the plugged in Miles Davis or Rick james or James Brown sort of funky chicken. But in the New Orleans gutbucket sort of cross road funky chicken. Blue. Deep blue in the jazz tradition.

I haven't discovered one. Looking around on Amazon a bit ago I noticed deals on Art Pepper All Star and Village Vanguard sets, and the Rollins Freelance set.

Right, this has been discussed in the Eric Dolphy Complete Prestige thread. Also available at the same price is teh possibly even better Evans box set, "The Secret Sessions."

Well. . . since I've just retired I don't think I'll take that job yet. . . . It's a great set, you definitely should grab it when the time is right.

Been listening to the June Christy/Peggy Lee Complete Capitol Transcriptions set. I forget about this set for a while and when I pull it out I nearly always listen to the complete set. The Christy sides are great. As a warm-blooded guy I get the impression listening to June that she's a beautiful and sweet gal that you just want to protect and build a nest with. And then the Peggy sides come along and you all of a sudden want to hold the door to your convertible open to Peggy and go for a long cruise and end up with a steak and martinis by the ocean by candlelight. Ah! A great set.
