I remember reading somewhere (was it on BNBB?) that these TimeLife Blue Notes actually have the same mastering as the regular TOCJs.
Don't pin me on this, I'm hoping someone can verify.
I have/had 3 titles from this series: "Undercurrent", "Birth of the cool" and Intuition
Those are not Blue Note sessions, so I can't compare the sound to the Blue Note TOCJ standard. But the RVG of "Birth of the cool" and the remastered "Undercurrent" are much better.
I rather think those CDs are made from the late 80's, early 90's McMaster tapes.

You can't judge the AAJ board on a Wingy/Deep thread. This could also happen here.

Picked Basra in support of our troops.

No problem with this image. I hated the distracting animated pacman pic Berigan had before.
I would like to see no pictures at all in signatures. The avatar should be enough for individual needs of graphical expression.

Uploading instead of linking the avatar would solve the problem. I thought the tripod error image was meant to be the avatar

Oh yeah, if mp3 playback is important to you (it's only a minor thing for me), the Pioneer's displays are miles ahead of the Sony. The Pioneer can display tracks, albums, artists and skips through visually on the screen. The Sony displayed hardly anything that I could tell. The Sony was very hard to manipulate in mp3-land.
I don't know the latest models, but six months ago (when I bought a Sony DVD player) Pioneer and Sony both had a onscreen menues for mp3 playback, but only the Sony could display more than 8 caracters on directory and track names.
8 caracters is not much when you organize tracks in the format "track number - track name"
Example: "01 - Love for sale" will be displayed as "01 - Lov"
As I don't want to turn my TV on every time I want to browse an MP3-CD, I have printed a list with the album (=directory) names and numbers, so I can go directly to an album by typing it's number.

Hipp was born in 1925 in Germany and made a big impression in post-war Europe as a jazz singer. In 1950 she visited the United States and was part of various singing groups. In the late 1950's she gave up her singing career to concentrate on painting. She died this past April.
And she played piano quite well

This could have been a fine "not Miles Davis" CD

I grabbed a Miles Davis set at Zweitausendeins' local shop in Munich yesterday. They still had a few left, and some Art Pepper sets.
Don't be too disappointed when you receive your sets. The packaging is very cheap, unlike the box sets made in the US. The outer box is of thin card board. The Miles set contains a booklet which seems to be a reproduction of the one that's in the US LP-size box, reduced to CD size. So the text is small and difficult to read.
But at this price one can't complain.

Why has Rooster lost? Candy Dulfer wasn't named before, or did I miss something?

Works great! My phone number leads to a museum in England, a bank in Nebraska and a female stripper in Hungary

I read a discussion on rec.music.bluenote on this subject.
Apparently there are no official recordings and no bootlegs of Monk and Mingus playing together. According to the "Straight No chaser" Monk biography, they played together on the Steve Allen TV show of June 6, 1955.

Although this will probably stretch the notion of "alternate takes" too much (it's an alternate band), I will add those on Andrew Hill's Grass Roots
Strickly speaking of alternate takes made during one session, my favourites are those in the Bird/Dial and Coltrane/Atlantic boxes.

I have "This is our music", "The Shape of jazz to come" and "Free jazz" on reissues in the "Atlantic Original Sound" series, made by Warner Germany in 1998.
The sound of the quartet sessions is very good and much improved compared to the early 90's reissues ( I haven´t heard the box set). "Free Jazz" is not such a great recording technically so the new CD does not sound much better.
Unfortunately no other Ornette albums appeared in this series. "The Shape ..." is available everywhere, but "Our music" was hard to find. Maybe the remastering is the same as the Sepia Tone release, which is available in the US only.

Using Ctrl-F you will then be able to search the entire thread for the name you intend to use.
This will not work with pictures of course B)

BTW: The fastest way to find out if a name has already been used is to click on "Print this topic" on the low right corner of the screen. This will list the whole thread content on one single browser page (it won't print anything). Using Ctrl-F you will then be able to search the entire thread for the name you intend to use.

Never before have there been that many Coltrane, Miles, Evans, Monk and Pepper boxes avalable on ebay Germany at the same time

I placed my order on the website last sunday and received a confirmation email on tuesday. Only 2 of 29 items (2 OJC LPs) were not available. Of the supercheap box sets, I ordered the Monk, Evans/Riverside and Art Pepper.

I hope Blue Note doesn't rely on Norah's bassist to run their board

Jewel In The Lotus CD was a standout.
I thought that this great album never made it to CD.

Do you guys get spammed a lot more than you did before joining? What about junk mail?
I do a lot of online shopping (european and US companies) and never get spammed. Just choose NO when an online registration asks if you want "promotional offers from selected partners".
When I ended my 3 month subscription last year, I only received a "Please come back" message and maybe one or two others from emusic.com.

I recently bought the Monk Complete London recordings 3CD box for 10 Euro at www.zweitausendeins.de . This came out in 1989.
The sound is very good, some of the best recorded Monk on CD. I don't think the 24Bit versions can improve this very much.
