I was thinking about this series the other day, I have the Louis, Duke, Billie, Fats and was wondering, how come there was no Basie set?

Indeed. I've actually got it. I guess the cheaper set can always be combined with the Fats Waller pages of the IJS site. F Thanks for the link Fer. I've got the cheap version, it was only €5, can't go wrong really, can I?

Some of the Covers from that cool Japanese site...

Fuck.

The Tal Farlow Set is on backorder at the moment, according to Scott yesterday.

Indeed it is and contains one of the best tunes by anyone ever, "Night Flight". Sooo grooooooooovy This box is really a fantastic way to get some great music that is pretty hard to find otherwise.

Excellent, I can pass on them then.

TOCJ 90016(HQ CD) Pepper, Art(as) / Modern Art 2600 What, pray tell, is a HQ CD??? High Quality???

I think it might be Curtis Fuller.

That's weird, I just bought "Endless Summer" this past weekend. I used to know a surfing nut who always raved about it.

I don't think the mystery couch person is Wynton, if you have the RVG of "Newk's Time", you'll know why.

Hi: On the OBI strips on the DSD remasters it reads 150 best or something like that. So this run is limited to that many titles. Hopefully they will start another series of 150 titles in the future. Just wish they would go the extra mile and issue these as hybrid SACDs! Michael A-HA!!! I always take the OBI strips off and put them away in the bottom of a box somewhere, so that's why I didn't notice that. I bought all the Art Pepper DSD re-issues and a few others besides and was impressed with them, so yea, hopefully they will do another 150. Cheers.

Why have they stopped doing the DSD remastering on the Prestige, Riverside and Contemporary stuff???

It's hard to tell as he's not wearing a hat, Kelly always wore a hat, even indoors. I'll give it a very, very, very close look later tonight.

No worries Late, it looks like the Classics edition covers all but one of the sessions, the last one, as per the discog. above; Los Angeles, CA, November 9, 1954 2036-1 Give Me the Simple Life 2037-1 Oh, Jane Suavely 2040-1 I'll Remember April ** also issued on Verve MGV 8122. So it misses out on 3 tunes. As many people have pointed out there is a great Mosaic Select in the making here, there must be a few more sessions they could put in there to fill up 3 discs???

PM sent on the SONNY ROLLINS PRESTIGE BOX.

Yea, the sound quality on the Classics CD I have of this material is quite dull, no real life to it at all, however the music, while not my favorite from this period, makes up for it.

Yeah, from what I understand, some folks have heard of him. No shit Sherlock. Thanks for the contribution.

Considering they did the Red Garland at the Prelude 2 disc set, which is hardly ever going to be a huge seller, the Complete Dolphy/Little Five Spot recordings seem a bit of a no brainer. Also, Blue Note did make a point of putting Dolphy's name on the cover of the recent Mingus Live at Cornell set, so clearly his name has some currency.

PM on the way re. New York, New York.

Check out the last post in this thread, I don't think it has everything but it has most of it. Previous Getz discussion... I absolutely adore this period of his career, his consistency, and always at such a high level, was pretty much amazing, he always came to play. This has been reissued fairly recently and is well worth checking out.

Received the Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions yesterday, thanks very much.

Yes there are some good photo's of Sonny, Wilbur Ware and Elvin at the V.V. and a great one of Rudy and Al Lion at the gig in front of that huge, mad looking recording console. Also a few from the "Newk's Time" session, as Late mentioned. I hadn't seen most of the photos before though. The banter before "Woody 'N You" and "Old Devil Moon" is pretty cool. He was and indeed still is, such a hipster.

I would agree with this, I actually bought it twice, one regular version and the Japanese version, it has a larger booklet with some pretty groovy extra photos. This is the cover;

It's gone... Last chance.
