I didn't think I would want every alternate take Gray played until I got this; Gray is just excellent on all the alternates of the "One for Prez" cd, but it's so hard to find things in Dublin these days I might just go for it. Cheers

Thanks Lon and Mike for your speedy replies, I might just have to pick this one up. Cheers. As a side note, I have a soft spot for the song "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" due to it's "staring role" in one of my favorite films, "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie", I love when Ben Gazzara is singing it into the phone, classic.

Ah so it's a live session, cheers Lon and Mike. How is the sound on the Prestige release? Decent?

Below is the track listing from Wardell Gray: Classics 1950-1955, I don't think I've seen the first 8 tracks anywhere before, anybody have any ideas? Cheers. Track Listings 1.

Disc 1 of this;

I think Hiroshi Tanno may be able to help you on that one, I think he had a copy last time I looked at his site.

Yes indeedy, thanks very much guys. :tup

I would highly recommend this Charles Earland 2/for.. Living Black!/Live at the Lighthouse Some great performances on this.

Now Allen you know you're not intelligent enough to be a Wal-Mart greeter, they never hire "academics", and besides, what would happen if Wynton Marsalis walked in, you'd have to run away from him, again.

A great set for a crazy price I had the K2 set and sold it. The highs sounded boosted, too "sharp/edgy" to my ears. The regular set is a bit better in that respect. And if you listen to some of the between song banter from Art, you could also say a crazy set for a great price. :wacko:

I think this is the weirdest part of the whole deal. Why, why and thrice why???

B Goren I bought this myself months ago and have yet to listen to it, how is the sound? Very reasonable sound. Dont forget that some of these recordings are more than 70 years old. Yea I have some of those McTell recordings on various other Sets but that one looks like it has pretty much all his early recordings. Did you ever get the Shearing MPS trio Set?

B Goren I bought this myself months ago and have yet to listen to it, how is the sound?

Now that story really is "The Blues."

The Andrew Hill solo material is not very similar to the rest of his output, to my ears. It reminds me somewhat of Keith Jarrett's "Koln Concert" vs. Jarrett's Impulse material, although the comparison is not perfect. What I mean is that in both cases, the solo material is long, comparatively lyrical and not as focused as the rest of his output. Also, purely my opinion, in both the Hill and Jarrett solo recordings, the memorable moments are fewer and more far between, compared to their earlier small group recordings. Nicely put there Hot Ptah. Thats the kind of review I appreciate.

No, that guy is in a great Frank Zappa song. It takes up all his time.

Ditto to that, is this release going to be easily available or do you have to order it directly from the manufacturer?

Anyone know anything about this one; Mel Lewis and Bill Perkins Encore 7003 Cheers.

As the Perk in question is Bill Perkins, I would love to have this one myself, but didn't Perk always Play Prez, just alittle bit anyway. :D

part of this collection: Hank Garland - Move! Love that cover so much, how many beautiful guitars does one man need.

Just had to chime in and say, "Yep, they got me." I recently got back "into" listening to jazz, and I've been adding a lot of CDs from Amazon to fill some gaps in my collection. I had noted a couple of Blue Note titles that were CD-R and skipped them, but I missed the fact that Duke Pearson's Wahoo! was such a reissue. When I received the CD, I did note the fact that the booklet staples were straight through the middle of the front cover (not at the spine), but I wrote it off as a Blue Note manufacturing defect. Now I know it was an Amazon manufacturing defect! Oh well. I copied the disc straight to my iTunes library and then put the disc into storage, so hopefully the sound quality is fine, even if the CD-R has issues down the road. P.S. Thanks to everyone for some very entertaining reading in the time I've been lurking. Welcome!!!

Well, I hadn't checked myself for a while, I suppose that doesn't seem to bad, but at the end of the day, when you have € 0 it still equals $ 0. :lol:

Where the hell was I getting "House of Pain", ah Cypress Hill, the 90's, it seems so far away now. Thanks CJ.

If I may quote "House of Pain", this is "Insane in the membrane, insane in the brain". Is there really a demand for all of these titles, things like Sherman Irby, "Big Mama's Biscuits"? WTF.
