The Don Cherry/Ed Blackwell duos (although Cherry also plays many other instruments on these recordings): MU (BYG 1969) El Corazon (ECM 1982)

Yes, I might get the Chet/Galaxy album (breaking my self-imposed CD purchase moratorium because of this unforeseen bargains ) Erik, I have the new "Ascensceur" version. It is the complete 26 track edition. I've commented on the sound in the other thread

Thanks tjobbe, I'll be in Munich next week and hope to be able to pass at the local 2001 store. The Universal CDs are the most interesting, as the ZYX remastering is very erratic.

Ï don't think this is a "serious" scam letter either. The funnyest thing is the "accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000". This must be inspired by a Futurama episode where Fry becomes rich by getting 1000 years interests on his tiny savings. @Weizen: Those letters are sent out in English only AFAIK. But the page speaks about two german victims of such Nigerian scams: In 2002, the welfare office of an unnamed city in Westfalen agreed to advance 285.000 DM (about $150.000) to an unemployed man who convinced them he was in a deal with a Nigerian bank. He would make a fortune and give 500.000 DM back to the city. Of course both the man and the city never got any money back. I have my doubt about this story though A german car dealer agreed on such a proposal and traveled to Nigeria, where he was kidnapped and freed only after paiement of a large sum.

Yes it will! The booklet couldn't be changed (for contractual reasons), but the new boxes will include this special foldable reading device

In case this becomes an Organissimo habit: Some message boards I know have a special chat forum where threads can be filled with whatever nonsense and are purged after a few days.

Yep, I know. I just posted this separately to point out the "running very low status" of the set to those who still didn't pick it up... Could we have a special "Last chance" smilie for such announcements? Something like this:

I remember the conclusion of a discussion on the BNBB being that René is indeed Jackie's son, that he has not been adopted.

I´m currently watching the "Miles Davis Story" DVD for the first time, and I would definitely pay $100 for a DVD that contains the complete video tapes of those german, british and danish TV appearances from the 60's. Berlin 1973. Perfect TV quality, excellent camera work with close ups etc. Why can't we have this instead of a Montreux 20CD set?

From Top Quarks to the Blues Berkeley Lab physicists develop way to digitally restore and preserve audio recordings The 1995 discovery of the top quark and singer Marian Anderson's 1947 rendition of Nobody Knows the Trouble I?ve Seen may seem unrelated. But through an interagency agreement with the Library of Congress, the same technology used to study subatomic particles is helping to restore and preserve the sounds of yesteryear. "We developed a way to image the grooves in a recording that is similar to measuring tracks in a particle detector," says Carl Haber, a senior scientist in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Physics Division who developed the technology along with fellow Physics Division scientist Vitaliy Fadeyev. Their work could ultimately enable the Library of Congress to digitize the thousands of blues, classical, Dixie, jazz, and spoken word recordings in its archives. The mass digitization of these aging discs and cylinders will both preserve the nation's musical history and make it accessible to a wide audience. complete article (check the audio samples)

I have the Ellington/Armstrong DAD. It sounds better than the old EMI CD from the late 80's I had, but it's not such a great recording technically.

If there are lefty guitars, why are there no lefty pianos?

mhhh, never heard that, sure you understood them correctly Schorlemorle (never heard that before either) comes from the Rhine region and is a mixture of wine and sparkling water. The name is supposed to sound like drunk germans saying "toujours l'amour" http://cronimus.free.fr/dico/s3.htm http://www.lire.fr/extrait.asp/idC=30258/idR=202/idG=8/idP=5 http://www.procolharum.com/tn+sq/gh_ba_touj.htm

Oops, wrong thread

More on the Brownie/Philology CDs here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4981

I´ve just discovered an ad on this new release on Jazz Corner. Contemporary "free jazz" artist can rarely be seen on DVD, so this already makes this disk remarkable. Ellery Eskelin, Andrea Parkins & Jim Black are one of my favourite groups from the last decade, their hatOLOGY CDs are among the best releases from this label. http://www.dtmgallery.com/Main/Newsletter-2004-04-09.html I only have some reservations about the possible technical quality of this DVD, as it was filmed by amateurs with a camcorder. I would hope this to be an enjoyable music DVD and not just a documentary for fans. Some stills can be seen here: On the road with ELLERY ESKELIN w/ Andrea Parkins & Jim Black

Like the good old old non-graphical smilies :-)

I don't know what tapes have been used for the latest Rhino CD reissues of the Ornette quartet sessions, but they are really up to audiophile standards. Much better than the first CD reissues. From the sonic point of view, it would be worth releasing new LP pressings made from these tapes.

"Out there" has just been reissued on SACD, so there seems to be an audiophile market for Eric Dolphy albums. But it could also be a label question. Fantasy-owned albums are often reissued as audiophile CDs or LPs, but Atlantic sessions very rarely, even Coltrane albums which would surely sell.

Hi Ray, Are these Past Perfect boxes? I think they are from Italy, maybe there are italian web stores who have them. I don't have a Zweitausendeins store here, I visit the one in Munich every few months when I have a meeting there. Good luck

For the record, the pic that had to go from my signature: Mission accomplished! (Although that doesn't mean much anymore today ;-) )
