Always Know?

How many Monk Columbias are there that aren't on any of the boxes? Off the top of my head, there's Big Band in Concert, Miles and Monk at Newport, and the soundtrack to Straight No Chaser. Are there any others?

Deodato: $9.57 + shipping from an Amazon Reseller:

The box is currently $17.43 from an Amazon Reseller. There's also this, which has 5 of the 6 albums, and which is currently $10.46 from an Amazon Reseller:

Just saw this on Amazon; release date December 11:

I also liked this for $1.96:

I had been looking for a good collection of Benny Goodman's work. This one, part of the Sony Euro "The Real..." series, fits the bill. With shipping, it's $5.82 from Amazon, for 3 discs. Sound quality to my ears is very good. It lacks a discography, though; anyone know of one? Also, CDDB returned some tracks as "Rechanneled stereo version," but I don't hear it.

Have a happy turkey (or tofurkey), everyone!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A new Jimi Hendrix album is coming March 5. The musician's website says "People, Hell and Angels" contains 12 previously unreleased tracks recorded in 1968 and '69. Rolling Stone revealed the album cover on its website Wednesday. Hendrix recorded the songs apart from the Jimi Hendrix Experience as he considered new, experimental directions for his follow-up to "Electric Ladyland." He plays keyboards, percussion and a second guitar on the album. Source: http://www.kpic.com/news/entertainment/180456061.html

Amazon is having a one-day sale on the Yamaha RX-V671. It seems a good deal at $299. Does anyone have any thoughts about the unit?

Saw this on Amazon...This set brings together the albums Special Edition, Tin Can Alley, Inflation Blues and Album Album.

Thanks for posting that. I read it with enthusiasm, even though, after a while, I realized it was another really long New Yorker article. I did read it to the end, and enjoyed it. The Phil Schaap mention was pretty cool.

A great, tasteful, swinging drummer. RIP.

Can we assume that the amazon.de version will have liner notes in German?

I recommend the live version of "Funkallero" done by Evans' trio with Getz as guest artist performed at Laren in '74. The CD is titled BUT BEAUTIFUL (Milestone MCD-9249-2) released under Evans' name. I wonder why this wasn't included in the Bill Evans Milestone box.

There was a Milestone two-fer called "Thelonious Monk - April in Paris/Live." According to the liner notes, this was drawn from tapes provided to Riverside to fulfill Monk's contract. The original two-disc set on Riverside was called "Two Hours With Thelonious," and had concert material from France and Italy. There was a subsequent one-disc set on Riverside called "Monk in France," containing the Paris portion. In comparing "Monk in France" to "April in Paris/Live," I see that AIPL has the following tracks not on MIF: Jackie-ing, Rhythm-a-ning, Epistrophy, and April In Paris. Are these tracks available on any other release?

JazzLover451: Welcome to the board. JLH stands for Jonathan Horwich, who's been releasing reissues on his International Phonograph label. He has plans to reissue Flute Fever. See this thread, beginning with post #150, for details: Don't let Chuck scare you away; wear your war wounds with pride!

I know; perfectly awful.

I'm in. Love this site!

eMusic just listed two releases on the Lantower label (yeah, I know...), of Miles at the Olympia 1960: volume 1 is March 21, volume 2 is October 11. Sound quality is good on both.

I just noticed an ad for this documentary: The Other Dream Team http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/sundace-2012-dream-team-review-284010

The odds are good that the Amazon US price will come way down before release.
