Thanks Late, I believe this is the session where Tristano was really into Warne Marsh's solos when he heard a personal copy, and in a round about way, this got the session released, or am I confusing it with something else?

Thanks Niko.

Gerry's Blues 12. These Foolish Things It's really good for the most part as it has most of the Savoy stuff with Lucky Thompson, but as always with these things there's a few real fuck ups. They have "Come Rain Or Come Shine" listed as the first track of disc 3, from the January 5, 1956 Sessions, but it's actually "Angel Face" from the January 23, 1956 Sessions, which is also the first track of disc 4, and they also miss out on "What's New?" from the January 23, 1956 Session, which is a bit of a pain the the ass as the music is amazing. They also ignore the track " Hello" from the January 17, 1956 Sessions that ended up on the Atlantic album "Ballads And Blues" but have all the rest of the tracks from it !!!!!!!!!!! Also, they only have one track from the June 16, 1954 Session with Henry Boozier, and completly ignore the February 23, 1949 Sessions that ended up on Roll 'Em Bags. But anyway, Hank Jones, Kenny Clarke and Lucky are present on alot of these Sessions and if, like me, you've never heard them before check it out in whatever form you can. If only Mosaic would do a Set with Milt's Savoy and/or Atlantic recordings.

I would like to donate a copy of Elvin Jones "At This Point In Time", that is surplus to requirements. This CD is Disc 6 of the OOP Mosaic, which I have, and as the Mosaic has that crucial extra 4 bits of re-mastering goodness, I feel I can let this go to a good, or indeed bad, home. First person to reply to this post and then PM me their address gets this bad boy.

Are you sure about that? Or have you just had a relapse?

king ubu, I have this one, but haven't really listened to it all that much. It has alot of Broadcasts of Christian with the Goodman Band and alot of tunes are repeated. The sound is only OK if I recal correctly. I'll give it a spin over the next few days and get back to you, in the meantime here's the amg review; "Review by Jim Smith Read the title carefully: These are broadcast recordings that Charlie Christian made between 1939-1941. A majority of these shows were recorded with the Benny Goodman Sextet, but there is also material by the Goodman All Stars, the Benny Goodman Orchestra, Count Basie & Friends, and the Kansas City Six. The real meat of this box, however, are the now-famous jam sessions recorded at Minton's Playhouse, Clarke Monroe's Uptown House, and the Harlem Breakfast Club. Over the years, these have been prized by Christian's fans as the purest examples of his genius and the possible birth of bebop, and there are enough of them here to warrant the purchase of the whole set. As for remastering, the quality of sound of the broadcasts is fair to poor, occasionally good; the jam sessions, however, are mostly clean, and sometimes surprisingly so. People interested in Christian's essential legacy need to first digest Columbia's Genius of the Electric Guitar box, but JSP deserves credit for assembling this rare material at an extremely affordable price."

Jackie McLean "Comp. 55-57' Sessions (JazzConnections)
Cliff Englewood replied to jeffsjazz's topic in New Releases
Here's the blurb from their site for anyone interested; Complete 1955-1957 Quartet, Quintet & Sextet Sessions (6 Cds Box Set) Jackie McLean Featuring: Jackie McLean, Danald Byrd, Bill Hardman, Webster Young, Curtis Fuller, Ray Draper, John Jenkins, Hank Mobley, Mal Waldron, Elmo Hope ... REFERENCE: JC 1001_6 BAR CODE: 8427328510011 PRICE: 34.75 € This is a tribute to one of the most misunderstood jazzmen in the history of modern jazz and to his music. Jackie McLean belonged to the second generation of alto sax players who were greatly influenced by Charlie Parker, but it was not long before he found his own voice. His cohesive, solid phrasing and his distinct, harsh-like sonority would make him into one of the most representative jazzmen of a blues-full hard bop style. All the sessions represented here took place in the famous studio that legendary sound engineer Rudy Van Gelder had in Hackensack, New Jersey, and features some of the most representative jazzmen of its time, including Donald Byrd, Bill Hardman, Hank Mobley, Mal Waldron, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones among others, appearing in a sequence of eight exciting albums originally cut for the Ad Lib, Prestige, New Jazz, and Jubilee labels. This 6 CD box set is a comprehensive and chronological collection of the altoist-composer first recordings as a leader, illustrated by a 20-page book let full of historic pictures and detailed sessionography. Tracklisting: CD 1 1. It's You Or No One 2. Blue Doll / Mood Melody 3. The Way You Look Tonight 4. Little Melonae 5. Lover Man 6. A Foggy Day 7. Kerplunk 8. Up 9. Lorraine 10. Lights Out Total time 79:54 CD 2 1. Inding 2. Sentimental Journey 3. Why Was I Born? 4. Contour 5. When I Fall In Love 6. Abstraction 7. Sweet Doll 8. Just For Marty 9. Dee's Dilemma 10. It Could Happen To You Total time: 77:45 CD 3 1. Su-blues 2. Steeplechase 3. Gone with the Wind 4. McLean's Scene 5. Mean To Me 6. Flickers 7. Help 8. Beau Jack 9. Mirage Total time:79:58 CD 4 1. Minor Dream 2. Hear A Rhapsody 3. Embraceable You 4. I Never Knew 5. These Foolish Things 6. Our Love Is Here To Stay 7. I Cover the Waterfront 8. What's New 9. Old Folks 10. Bean and the Boys 11.

I would agree with all the positive comments on this set, I was suprised how much I enjoyed it myself, and would endorse the, "I was suprised by the listenability of this set" comment. It's not as mad as you might think. I bought it after getting "Live Evil" and thinking this is great, it's like Fela Kuti, and since getting the Box Set, I would agree that the McLauglin-less shows do seem to have a slight edge, and again, there is definitely something special about Disc 4. Oh, and I paid a load of cash for it but it was worth it.

AOW 09/21-09/27 is Wilbur Harden & John Coltrane
Cliff Englewood replied to Dmitry's topic in Album Of The Week
As I really enjoyed Disc 5 of the "Fearless Leader" box set, which has the all the Prestige Sessions with Coltrane and Harden, I decided to seek this stuff out. Now I know I will probably get shot down for this, but if you are having trouble finding this stuff in Europe, the much hated Lone Hill Jazz label has released it as John Coltrane: "Complete Mainstream 1958 Sessions" I have only listened to Disc 1 so far but one of the other things that struck me about the session is Doug Watkins, he is in excellent form here as well. I know about the issues with this label and I don't want to start another argument but this is a good release and for someone like me, probably the easiest/cheapest way to get it. The sound is excellent, probably ripped off I know. -
Hello Mike, I will take this off your hands please, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers & Max Roach Quintet - Percussion Discussion (French Vogue, 1985) two Argo LPs on one CD: Blakey with Bill Hardman, Jackie McLean, Sam Dockery, Spanky de Brest, 5 tracks incl. a long Gershwin medley, recorded Spring 1957 "Max", with Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Ramsey Lewis, and George Morrow, 6 tracks, recorded January 4, 1958 I am sending PM ...............................now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't thank me, thank kh1958 for posting it, (check further up the post). I was merely bumping this up hoping to maybe get a bit more info on it, but I too am thrilled with the news. This group was almost too good to be true. Sometimes I wonder did it exist at all or were they just a lovely dream.

John, in answer to your question, see this link; Saxophone Colossus RVG
-
What say I? Well I started out thinking they would be great and that it was a good idea to re-do some of this stuff, but now I would have to agree with Claude, when I have upgraded a "favorite", I haven't found that much of a improvement in sound quality, not as much as on some of the Blue Notes. Also I think considering the amount of time people spend complaining about Blue Note's quality control, there hasn't been enough complaining about the quality control on this series or rather the lack of it. The "Saxophone Colossus" debacle and the European "Black Talk" and "Tenor Madness" missing liner notes,(but considering the "insights" some of the new liners provide this might not be a bad thing) and the not really that great selection of titles, I mean, what is the point of more Coltrane and Davis issues, both of them just had the same stuff re-issued in boxset form anyway. I think it's good that a few titles that were hard to find are coming out, but in gereral I would give the series a at the moment
