Listened to all 3 discs of this last night;

A truly excellent set, almost perfect, I just can't get into "Nixon, Dixon And Yates Blues" though. It's the only stinker IMHO.

I've got the CD "Chambers' music" with that on it. You've inspired me to dig it out to play over breakfast tomorrow (it's nearly bedtime now).

Yes, listened to it this morning. Those Transition sides are very nice; just like a mid-fifties Prestige jam session without Gene Ammons. And the blues at the end is one I love. Pepper Adams is very beguiling and Trane is at his funkiest.

Glad I played it.

Disc 6... I have to say I'm enjoying this set far more than I expected!!! :tup:tup

Hey Ron and Mag Goldberg - Have you picked this set up, yet???

Duke Ellington

Complete 36-40 Variety, Vocalion and Okeh Small Group Sessions

Disc#4

:wub:

I probably should think of it, but I've got a lot of other priorities, including getting a huge bunch of African stuff later in the spring. At present, I'm cutting down in preparation for that splurge.

It's definitely on my list for some point in the future. In the interim, I still have the 2 Columbia "Duke's Men" doubles--containing a lot of these tracks--to tide me over. :w

Funnily enough, I bought mine, also a Universal edition, in Tower before Christmas for €60, so does this mean I am indirectly eternally indebted to you as well??? :wacko::wacko::wacko:

Even with the dodgy Disc 6, it was still a bargin. :tup:tup:tup

FWIW, a lot of the Universal sets (including mine) don't have the problem with disc 6. You might want to see about getting it replaced.

And no, only tranemonk is eternally indebted to me (at least in his mind). :P

The Crusader's music is all new to me. Except for what I've heard on the that 2-Lp Mid 70's Blue Note Reissue Series Lp I've got. That was a mix of live and studio dates. I picked that up a couple months ago and once I heard it, I knew they were a group I wanted to hear more of. :tup

Jazz Crusaders set. This is just real nice...right up my alley...post hard-bop. :tup

And last nite:

Miles' 5-tet 1965-68 10 Lp set.

These two and the Turrentine Mosaic were Valentine's Day gifts from my incredible, beautiful wife. :wub::cool:

And wealthy - 3 Mosaic big boxes for Valentines Day.

What did you give her?
