I placed an order for the new box. Haven’t heard much Herman, but I heard a piece on a Fantasy sampler that I liked. And with a run of only 2,000, this may go quickly - seems tailor-made for EBay resellers.

Thanks for posting; great read. The format of the piece seems a blatant ripoff of Marc Myers’s “Anatomy Of A Song” articles (a book I just finished reading).

Interestingly, this is on another pretty inexpensive box: I have the late quartets on a Deutsche LP box by the Amadeus Quartett, but find those performances to be clinical and not very involving. Sound quality is early digital.

All the graphics I posted were from Amazon, so check there (as well as at other record sellers, if there are any others by this point). Before buying, double-check importcds.com, as they frequently have much better prices.

So the first year, I found that if I waited long enough, prices came down ridiculously low. The second year, I found that if I waited, the prices never came down; instead, they sold out and commanded ridiculous prices on the secondary market. So this year, I want to grab the good ones at reasonable prices. What do the classical aficionados think about the following currently or soon to be available releases? Leonard Rose - The Complete Concerto and Sonata Recordings Julliard String Quartet- The Complete Epic Recordings 1956-66 George Szell - The Complete Columbia Album Collection Budapest String Quartet - The Complete Beethoven Quartets Alexander Brailowsky plays Chopin John Browning - The Complete RCA Album Collection

Not sure if this is off-topic, but I’ve often thought that “the industry” should give listeners like us, who buy so much more than the typical music consumer, a bulk discount. CDs should cost us no more than $5 a disc. We’d more than make up for the differential in quantity.

The link to the tracklist no longer works. Can anyone pls supply it?

I wonder whether there was an error in calling it Volume 1. I recently found a used copy of Jukebox Ella. Per the booklet, it contains singles recorded between 1956 and 1967. It seems unlikely there were singles recorded after 1967, because her first release for Capitol was in 1967. Unless someone here knows otherwise, this is probably simply "The Complete Singles."

Could it be Rose’s daughter who is putting these discs on eBay? Maybe she’s given up on selling the entire collection to one buyer.

I recently started reading The JC Reference, and learned Coltrane and Garland were playing together as early as 1948 (in Cleanhead Vinson’s band).

Yeah...hard for me to see how I'm the "customer" if I'm not paying them anything. Then again, I don't intend to. Must be more of that Internet logic.

Huh. Sometime in the last year, Photobucket told me they would no longer allow linking to third-party sites, and indeed, when I then checked this board, everything I had linked from there could no longer be viewed. Guess they've since changed their policy (again), because I just now linked a photo from there in the usual way. Thanks for the tip.

Met these guys once at a Roscoe Mitchell concert: Also had the pleasure of meeting kh1958 once.

I first heard Stanko on a Leo album "Almost Green." His compositions had an interesting sense of time, almost boozy. Also reminded me of Mingus's bands. RIP.

I used to use Photobucket, but they no longer allow links to third-party sites such as Organissimo. I know the O board software used to allow uploads of small picture sizes, but I couldn't see an option to do that now. So what's the best current way?

To be clear, the Sarah Vaughan Columbia Years 1949-1953 release was originally a 2-LP set, released by Columbia in 1988. "Complete" collections were still very rare then, so Columbia cherry-picked what they deemed to be the best tracks for this set. A "complete" release would have required 4 or 5 LPs, which would have been very unusual. So it was a product of its times, and well-needed too. As a comparison, Columbia released "Duke Ellington Presents Ivie Anderson" in 1973. Also a 2-LP set, it had 32 tracks, and was well-received, but never made the claim that it was complete.

I was fortunate to nab the Venuti/Lang set at the Mosaic warehouse sale in March.

I’ve been lately luxuriating in Fresh Sounds’s mammoth 8-disc release of Jeri Southern’s recorded works. They’ve collected everything, including many, many singles never released on albums or CDs. It’s obviously a work of love, and bravo to FS. Maybe someday they’ll do something similar for Vaughan’s Columbia output, maybe even integrating them with her other early recordings.

The blurb for this release says Vaughan recorded 60 songs for Columbia. This release has 28 (at a pretty good price): The first two discs of this box set have 37; alas, it is now OOP and pretty expensive:

I think he's trying to be funny and clever, but comes off just sounding jealous.

https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2018/07/17/saharan-dust-extreme-heat/ FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – The Saharan dust that has blanketed most of the DFW Metroplex with a brown haze in the air is expected to stick around for a few more days. CBS11 Meteorologist Jeff Ray has been tracking the dust and said, “Things will get a little bit better, but probably not until Thursday or Friday will we get back to where we actually have some blue skies.” Affecting us here in Houston, too.

I always thought Ron McMaster was a fake name; it was just too good for someone in his profession. Kinda like Johnny Rotten or Richard Hell. I'm still suspicious of Mickey Bass. Anyway, I wish McMaster (or whatever his name really is) a long and happy retirement.
