Into disc four ... the overlong Hairy Bones track is the first one I don't like (not sure about Haino, that's just not my world, I can't say I dislike it) ... I guess the Full Blast (luckily only a third of the duration of the Hairy Bones one, some 7 minutes) will be the other. Don't get that concept of pressure and standstill. That's music that doesn't go anywhere, doesn't develop anything, but nearly explodes (maybe because it can't go anyplace else?). Might work live now and then, but doesn't translate to disc.

But other than that, I'm really enjoying this set, most of the tracks are amazing! The long (50 minutes) groove orgy by Brötzmann, Laswell, Gania and Drake on disc three took me a while to get into, but after twenty or so minutes, it was just plain amazing!

Disc four opens with a great track by Bishop, McPhee, Mars Williams, Jason Adasciewicz, Kent Kessler and Tamaya Honda, then after the Bones there's fine a ten minute piano solo by Masahiko Satoh, and to top things off, you get the Chicago Tentet for the second time: after a great track with John Tchicai on disc one, here Michiyo Yagi on koto is the special guest in what was titled "Concert for Fukushima". Great!

Now looking forward to disc five (Brötz/Revis/Nastheet Waits trio, DKV with Gustafsson, Pupillo, Paal Nilssen-Love, Full Blast, and Caspar Brötzmann Massaker to top things off (there might be another track not too close to my tastes, but we'll see).

CDs 1 & 2

Never tire of listening to this music!

[JohnS]

John Coltrane: The Prestige Recordings.

Ditto. Lotsa gems in there!

No doubt.

Question: does anybody else with this box have a problem with the paper cover on the back, or bottom, of the box. Mine wasn't properly glued on and now comes off everytime I pick it up.

I have some of these boxes, none of the back covers seem to be properly glued.

[sidewinder]

Same here !

(can't think of a better thread to ask this in ... wasn't there a thread or some discussion of an EGO records box set reissue somewhere? There's a second one out it seems, but I can't find the thread and can't find anything on it, googling "ego" will list just about everything ever posted in the internets...)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Most of the day spent with these two:

Cab Calloway - The early years 1930-34 - JSP

Cab Calloway - Vol 2 1935-40 - JSP

Now on disc D of vol 2. I get more pure pleasure out of this band than any other, even Buddy Johnson's.

Les Trésors du Jazz 1955 (Le Chant du Monde)

Glad I managed to get the full series (and its superb selection of recordings) before the format was changed...
