Ron S mentioned/recommended this one in the Concord Sale thread and oddly enough I had recently purchased this but hadn't listened to it. I put it on yesterday and was totally blown away by both the playing and the compositions, so I thought it should have a thread of it's own. I don't what it was about the session but Hawes is just so on his game, it's also some of the best Art Taylor I've heard as well. I never really get too excited about piano trios for some reason but this one is something else. Highlights for me would be "Sonora", "Black Forest", "Children's Play" and "Spanish Steps" but the entire album is really excellent, and the sound is brilliant too, my edition says "24bit remastered" and although I have no idea if that's true or not it really does sound amazing. As I said, very rarely do I enjoy piano trios as much as this one. Sprint, don't run, to the cash register if you ever see this one. Here's the track list from Ron's link: 1. Blues Enough 2. Sonora 4:56 3. They Say It's Wonderful 3:23 ** 4. Black Forest (Take 3) 6:07 5. Children's Play 9:17 ** 6. Blues For Bud 6:58 ** 7. Spanish Steps (Take 2) 3:17 8. Dangerous 4:29 9. My Romance 9:02 10. Spanish Steps (Take 1) 2:39 * 11. Black Forrest (Take 1) 5:43 * HAMPTON HAWES (Piano) JIMMY WOODE (Bass) ARTHUR TAYLOR (Drums)

I saw this listed on the Marsh site, does anyone have this or know anything about it. Looks like an excellent group but I'm sure it would have been mentioned here before if it had been available on Xanadu. WARNE MARSH QUARTET. 'The Haig Club', Hollywood, CA., December 23, 1952. Warne Marsh, ts; Hampton Hawes, p; Joe Mondragon, b; Shelly Manne, d. 1 FINE AND DANDY 7:12 2 YOU GO TO MY HEAD 8:50 3 I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME 9:45 4 BUZZY 7:15 5 ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE 5:19 6 I'LL REMEMBER APRIL 7:09 7 I GOT RHYTHM 6:19 all R Xanadu 151

Picked this up yesterday for €20, just had a quick look through it so far. Personally I would give it a B+. The picture quality is slightly better on the first show, but the sound is very good on both shows IMHO, and according to the DVD cover, stereo. Well worth getting.

Bummer, but thanks for the feedback and your truthful advertising policy. There is however, a few other bits and bobs I have my eye on so I'll PM you in a day or 2. Cheers.

Just how bad is the sound on "Marsh ,Warne – Live in Las Vegas 1962 (Naked City) great music bad sound", are we talking Clifford Brown at the Beehive bad or ???????????

PM sent.

Managed to get this set via the Board, thanks again to Larry "LJazz" for the great price and super fast delivery, we actually set a Trans-Atlantic record for snail-mail on this transaction. Clem was spot on in his review, the booklet is superb, great liners and amazing photos’, and Patrick Mulligan who was involved in both the Coltrane and Mingus box sets for Rhino is involved here. If I had to compare it to another box set for overall quality and "niceness", I know that’s not a real word, I would compare it to the "Passions of a Man" set. Been getting stuck into it recently and although I had a few of the individual albums already, it's great to hear it in chronological order. I think it contains some of Coltrane's most "romantic" playing of his career. He really was coming into some great form during these years, still curious, still searching, still hungry. Makes me want to spend more time with the Atlantic box as well. Several thumbs up and looking forward to the next two.

Did anyone get the "Al Cohn/Perkins/Kamuca - The Brothers" Mosaic Single, if so, opinions please.

If "Hank Mobley - Messages (Prestige)" comes off hold I would be interested.

Goodies arrived, thanks a million Larry.

Is there a list anywhere online that would give one an idea of what's available?

Responded to your PMs.

PM sent re Fearless Leader Box & All Mornin' Long.

Thanks Clunky, let me know how you get on with the book when you receive it.

O.K. now I am convinced, there are people on this Board that get commission from Mosaic, there can be no other reasonable explanation. Looks like there may be a Mosaic order in the near future.

Up for any info on this book.

If anything goes pear-shaped with the sale of these 2 below, Red Mitchell/Harold Land Quintet: Hear Ye Hear Ye Hear Ye Teddy Charles/ I Sullieman/Mal Waldron/John Jenkins: Coolin I will gladly take both of them of your hands, he said hopefully.

I'm kind of in the same situation as Quincy regarding the Mulligan, I have the V.V. date and I like it but don't really love it, so is it fairly representitive of the rest of this set? Also have Elvin's "At This Point In Time", again, it doesn't really blow me away, but I am very curious to hear the sessions with Joe Farrell but don't really want to buy the whole set just to hear them.

Received CD on Thursday, Cheers.

As a result of king ubu's post, pm sent regarding; Randy Weston "Monterey '66" Verve and Chet Baker Sextet Pacific Jazz.

I'm looking for a decent copy of this two-CD set, if anyone out there has one they'd like to get rid of for cash money.

Sent PM.

Just bringing this one up for air as I have been on a serious Marsh kick recently and I would like to know more about the difference between the hard and soft versions of the book before I order it. I think I can get the hardback for around €80, while the soft version is around €40, I believe there are no pictures in the soft version. Basically is the hardback worth the extra cash? Also, is there much detail on the few encounters he had with Art Pepper? Thanks in advance.

You don't have to wait to hear "Heavy Soul", it's already an RVG. RVG Edition Well worth getting, imho of course.

Thanks for the replys................ Next stupid question, are either of them worth the extra money?
