king ubu Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) I ordered them from Amazon.fr and got a message about a delay until early January. Got that with the order confirmation mail? Or separately? I didn't get any such message! Edited December 8, 2005 by king ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Strange that the new releases cannot be shipped by now. The usual record stores in Paris all carry the new releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 $19.99 sounds like a good deal. I'm checking it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neveronfriday Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Got both of mine today. Fine price as well if it weren't for the stupid 7 Euro 60 shipping (for goddam what? Transporting it a few kilometers to my place?) plus stupid extra taxes. God, Europe sucks at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I received these today. The Coleman is nice, but I think the Jean-Claude Fohrenbach is much more interesting, in large part because so little of it ever saw the light of day. If I am reading it correctly, Fohrenbach only released two LPs under his name (and a 2001 CD called Francofeel). The first CD is fairly straight-forward jazz. Fohrenbach doesn't sound like Guy Lafitte, but people that like the Lafitte JiP recordings should also like this. The first 8 tracks are from Fohrenbach French Sound, recorded in 1954. The next four tracks are side A of Mais qu'avez-vous donc fait de la face cachee de la lune, docteur Fohrenbach. These tracks were recorded in 1978 with Georges Arvantis (p) and Jacky Sampson (g). CD 2 starts with 5 tracks from the B side of this record, where Jean-Claude plays all the instruments (generally tenor or piano) and double, triple, quadruple tracks the music to sound like a large band. Really quite interesting, particularly his version of Four Brothers. Everything else on CD 2 is unreleased and was recorded in 1963 or 1966 (I'm noticing a few hiccups in the recordings -- probably in the source tapes -- but overall not bad quality). I do like the Sexfide (sextet) he put together in 1966 and it is a shame that he didn't meet with more success. Truly an obscure artist. I wonder how many more sets are going to be released in this new series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
