Very difficult to choose. Personnally I would like to see Abdullah Ibrahim because he is a legend and I like his music, but on the other hand I would prefer to hear him with a band. My other choices would be Elvin Jones (could be your last chance to see him on stage), John Surman, Rava/Vitous (who is Cañizares?).

US Postal is indeed very reliable. Also in the Tour de France

Hans, if you have the japanese Coltrane Atlantics, what is you opinion on the remastering? I think these are not so good recordings, or the tapes are in a bad shape (especially the "Bags and Trane" session). I have the "Giant steps" MFSL CD, and while it is improved compared to the box set it still doesn't sound nearly as good as most Prestige or Impulse! sessions.

I think this licensing deal is long over, Bellaphon isn't active in the jazz import field currently. I've never seen a Concord/Bellaphon CD here. http://www.discogs.com/label/Bellaphon_Germany

Come on, guests! Register and get your free Organissimo (the band) CD!!

I posted a reply in this AAJ thread

I have always been lucky with my nearly 40 CD shipments from the US, nothing has ever been lost. One Mosaic set auctioned on Ebay spent a month in customs in my country (unopened ) before I tracked it down, one single CD shipped seperately by CDUniverse took 6 weeks to arrive, but at the end I always received what I ordered.

For those who don't know it, her is the Blue Moon homepage with a complete listing: www.freshsoundrecords.com

I admire not only John's technical knowledge on the use of software but also his brilliant graphical ideas. Yesterday I browsed through a Blue Note cover book to look for suitable objects, but the ideas for animation that came to my mind were never as original as John's. John, do you work in the graphics business?

Thanks for tip ubu. It's interesting to hear Potter in a piano-less group. When reading the topic title in the "New posts" list I first thought it was another thread about CD shipping problems

The format of this interesting project is as ridiculous as the Miles@Montreux set. I would buy 2 or 3 of the concerts if they were available seperately, but 17CDs - no way. Miles Davis - Complete Montreux (20CD box) - Does it sell?

Can you throw a virtual stone into the "Breaking point" cover?

Awesome, couw, these look fantastic. The Dexter is hilarious This is what Reid Miles would have done if Photoshop had existed back then.

I managed to sync Miles Davis' Quiet nights to an episode of the Golden Girls

Who is this "Tery Clark" who "inspired audiences around the world"? Can you get sleep with a Cecil Taylor watch next to you on the night table?

Wow, I didn't know Helen Merrill was still active. I never liked her voice on her late 80's early 90's albums, it just made me want to return to those divine sounds from the 50's ("Born to be blue with Clifford Brown).

Yeah, but that outer box is worth $20 at least What do you think the slipcases from the first RVGs will be worth in ten years?

On Selflessness: The two tracks on Side A are from the Newport Festival 1963, and have been reissued on the Newport '63 CD. The title track has been reissued on the Major works 2CD set

- Selflessness Side A: My favourite things; I want to talk about you Side B: Selflessness - Feelin' Good (The Mastery Of John Coltrane Vol.1) Side A: Feelin' Good; My Favourite Things Side B: Living Space; Untitled 90 320 Side C: Untitled 90 314; Dusk-Dawn Side D: Nature Boy; Joy - To the Beat of a Different Drummer (The Mastery Of John Coltrane Vol.2) Side A: Impressions; I want to talk about you Side B: My Favourite Things; After The Rain Side C: Dear Old Stockholm; After The Crescent Side D: One Up, One Down; Dear Lord - Jupiter Variation (The Mastery Of John Coltrane Vol.3) Side A: Number one; Peace On Earth Side B: Jupiter; Leo - Trane's Modes (The Mastery Of John Coltrane Vol.4) Side A: Impressions (Take one); Miles' Modes Side B: Chasin' another Trane; Greensleeves (take two) Side C: Impressions (Take Two); Naima Side D: Africa (First version); The Damned Don't Cry (taken from a german book on Coltrane) All these albums are compiled from different sessions, so the original order doesn't necessarily make much sense.

Many thanks and merci beaucoup to all of you My birthday tends to get forgotten in real life because it is on All Saints Day. But thanks to the great features of this board software I got more best wishes than usually. I noticed I was approaching 35 years when my bank informed me I was losing the last of my youth benefits (1% higher interest rate on my savings ). That make you feel really old So thanks again, and now I need to get rid of that Halloween user pic ...

I haven't seen the original movie, so I can't say which one is better. There are sceptics who say the new version stinks, and some fans who were mislead by the "original concert" sticker on the DVD, thinking the disc contained both versions. But the original movie is only available on VHS. There are a few goofy picture effects in the director´s cut, which look dated but surprisingly have been added or created for the new version. All in all, without knowing the original movie I enjoyed the DVD alot, especially the music scenes (of course) but also the studio footage which documents the Dark Side of The Moon recording (a complete DVD documentary with more of that has been released recently). Having the music scenes again seperately on the disc is a bonus, because this will certainly be played more often than the movie. The picture quality is very good (I have the PAL version) and the sound is ok (not nearly as good as the studio recordings).

No, the original movie is NOT included. The DVD contains the new version of the movie ("director's cut") and the "original concert", which are only the music scenes in the Pompeij auditorium.

Maybe I missed some info on this, but if Blue Note releases a McCoy Tyner RVG, it looks like there won't be a Tyner Mosaic set?

This is one of the two regional german stations which can be received here in Luxembourg, with a normal radio antenna (I don't have a sattelite receiver). Thanks for the tip.
