CDJapan shows the following 3 titles with release dates of June 18. No label listed, or much other useful information. Have these been previously available? Interestingly, the one common element they have is Kenny Drew.

Just listened to disc 1. Track 14, Embraceable You, clearly shows radio static.

Thanks for posting the link. It looks like all titles that weren't released when originally recorded; interesting theme. I've wanted Z.T.'s Blues for awhile now, so I'll be getting that. These are now available at CDJapan.

I hope the Ike Quebec - Easy Living has the three extra quartet tracks. The rest is on the Bennie Green Mosaic Select. What is on Sonny Clark Quintets? At first, I thought it was the material on "My Conception," but I see that title is also being released.

On Atlantic circa 1970:

Some have pointed out that he didn't have great ratings on CC - he was regularly bested by Adult Swim.

I regret that ESP didn't use the covers from their 4 original releases - those were really nice. This new package looks like it could have been designed by the ESP circa 1965 (not a compliment).

Born in Brooklyn!

Well, to answer my own question, the material with Dizzy and Bird, and the Dance of the Infidels from August 29.

Big article on this in today's Wall St Journal. Take this one seriously.

But Impulse could have done that. Must have something to do with who owns the tapes.

I'm curious as to what the connection is with Resonance. Why couldn't Impulse put this out on their lonesome?

I saw him once with Scofield at the Bottom Line, right before "Hand Jive" came out. He's definitely good, though he doesn't have what you would call "star quality." He's a great supporting player. Let's not overlook "Saudades" with Trio Beyond (Scofield and DeJohnette).

The comments on archive.org indicate this is a hot show. Curious about the bonus disc - maybe the other night of the engagement (12/11).

Sadly, J&R has closed their stores and laid off all employees. They still maintain a web presence. NY Daily News

Just got an email from dead.net that Dave's Picks Vol. 10 will ship around May 1. No mention of which concert it will be.

I really liked that album, "50,000,000 Monk Fans Can't Be Wrong."

You know, even if the sound isn't stellar, there is simply no other way to get the material on this box (without spending insane prices). I'll reserve judgement until I receive it, and will be quietly hopeful.

It sounds like it might not have ever happened if they both hadn't been signed to Vanguard at the time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX07s5DXIU0 I mean, that's pretty good, really, but it could totally have happened without Elvin. Thanks, Jim; I really enjoyed that. I disagree that "it could totally have happened without Elvin" - this track has a harder edge and an insistent groove that Oregon wasn't doing. He drives them more into a Yusef Lateef area. It's great that Collin Walcott, accompanying Elvin, sounds more like a Ray Barretto on one of Lou Donaldson's records. Very nice.

What's the music on the Chubby Jackson like? This band was prominently mentioned in Ira Gitler's book "Swing To Bop."

36.05 Euros - excellent deal ! Thanks for the tip, aurelio! The cost with shipping to the U.S. was 34,73 euros.

Another weird little factoid: per Wikipedia, Paula Prentiss's real last name was Ragusa. So Ann changed her stage name to match her sister's.

Wow. I remember when "Matterhorn" came out, and couldn't figure out the cover; I figured it was one of those Pablo headscratchers. I'll have to go back and revisit that. In fact, now looking through Amazon, I'm seeing all sorts of interesting albums involving Bellson. Which one was the studio album with Cobham?

About a year ago, I bought a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, and have been happy with it.
