Mine is the original US pressing.

I didn't recognise this until Discogs revealed that my copy of "Blues in Orbit" (ENJA ) is the same date. It's a very fine Evans session .

Unrest were something else... great band. The cover makes total sense, though I've actually never had that 7".

Seconded.

Johnny Richards -------The arrangers touch-------(Vogue UK) white label

 Not played this in age because I recall being less than overwhelmed. Started with LP1 - My Fair Lady . It's ok but nothing so far that strikes me as especially memorable. Not sure if this is a keeper as I look to prune selectively. I'll try the Diablo session later tonight.

Miles - Milestones

Never had this before. It's a bit of an old chestnut I know, but what a good record. Red Garland is an absolute MF.

As a side note, I never knew the tune "Milestones" was formerly simply "Miles".

Bird at the Roost Volume One (Savoy Jazz)

Great to hear Bird stretching out a bit - most of the performances are 4+ minutes - as opposed to the studio recordings, and taking a few chances that he might not have taken in the studio. Plus there's Miles beginning to become Miles.

Bob Downes - Electric City - (Vertigo UK swirl)

As I've become familiar with the variety of musical situations Bob Downes has created for himself, not to mention the verve of his personality (which comes through the music and our email exchanges), this wild-and-wooly, bluesy and funky jazz-rock amalgam has grown on me quite a bit.

Paul Chambers "jazz delegation from the east" (score, USA). Likely will never find/afford the original jazz-west issue so this slightly later issue will do.  A good session but not quite the sum of its parts that I had hoped.

Art Blakey "ritual" (world pacific, mono DG USA). Now this on the other hand is a stunner; excellent album.

Clifford Thornton "communications network" (third world, USA). Hmmm..finally got a NM copy but wow it's sort of a badly recorded album and a bit unfocused.  But Nathan Davis is on it...do I keep it?  I'm on the fence with this one...

dawg.  the score is still hella rare- i have a vintage european version on that really amazing quality european vinyl, im sure it sounds better than a jazz/west original

Yeah I hear you.  Sure it's rarer then James Last and Nana Mouskouri!  I only have one JazzWest original lp and it's not a great pressing at all so yr probably right.

Stuff these bird in the hand losses. I had an original mint Dave Bailey Jazztime vinyl I sold off a few years later after I got it. I was beat out in a jazz collection sale by a jazz vinyl veteran who picked out an original Green Street vinyl and left me with an original Reaching Out, as a listener I thought I'd been usurped. Drats....

David S. Ware Quartet -- Live in Vilnius

Just purchased this recently from No Business records, though it is one of their earlier releases. Truly one of the great quartets there were and this was their last release.

George Russell 'The Stratus Seekers' (Dutch Fontana, Interdisc). Sonics outstanding !

James Last and Nana on JazzWest? :)

'Count Basie' (UK Vogue jazz double). Another one from the archive, new-testament band compilation of Roulette material that is included in the two Mosaic sets.  Sound OK but the Mosaics are better..
