Bluesnik Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Yes, I don't know what happened to vols.2 and 3. They were planned but never materialized. Quote
king ubu Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 I think I read (somewhere here, where else) that Vol. 1 didn't sell well enough so the follow-up(s) were shelved. There were to be two more? That much more material? What a missed opportunity! Guess people prefer to buy the seventeenth reissue of some Miles or BN classic before trying Steve White. Maybe they're right, what do I know ... Quote
Bluesnik Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) I also thought that they didn't sell well enough. Just my imagination. And about the three volumes which were planned and at least announced I guess I deduced that of the booklet. But it would have been a lot of material. For me a 3 CD-box is enough, but it's a pity for all the material that could have been reissued. And I think this Harry Babasin-Roy Harte run label only operated for about two years: from 54 to 56.

jeffcrom Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Charlie Parker - Complete Dial Sessions (Stash). The Earl Coleman/Erroll Garner session from disc two. Might just let the disc keep playing and listen to the "Relaxin' at Camarillo" session as well. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 An interesting box about a minor and partly unknown West Coast label. Picked up a great condition SH copy of this last year. Lucky find ! Quote
Scott Dolan Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 John Coltrane - Live Trane: The European Tours (Pablo), disc seven. There has been some dissatisfaction expressed here with this set, but I would not willingly part with it. Nor would I. There is some excellent playing across all of those discs. And remixing everything back down to mono greatly improves the sound quality over the original Pablo CDs. Quote

king ubu Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 disc one ... probably going on into the night ... love "Mademoiselle Mabry"! Quote
king ubu Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 the Marsh only stuff on about two thirds of disc three and all of disc four Quote
Head Man Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 This arrived today and what a beautiful looking set it is. I'll start grooving to it tomorrow! Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Sonny Rollins - The Freelance Years; the Way Out West session. Quote
Clunky Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 This arrived today and what a beautiful looking set it is. I'll start grooving to it tomorrow! nice looking set , i think i've too much of its contents already to make any sense getting it. Quote
Justin V Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Duke Pearson - Mosaic Select, Disc 3 Quote
king ubu Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 last third of disc one and all of disc two ... that is "Dexter Calling", "Landslide" and the one cut from the aborted session with Sonny Stitt Quote
sidewinder Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 Can't go wrong with that one. HUGE bang per buck. Quote
mikelz777 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) An interesting box about a minor and partly unknown West Coast label. I had forgotten about these dates. I think I may have the individual CDs. Do the individual discs issued under Nocturne Records "Jazz In Hollywood" Series cover everything in the box set? The individual titles were: Virgil Gonsalves Sextet / Steve White Quartet-Quintet Herbie Harper Bud Shank Quintet / Lou Levy Trio Harry Babasin Quintet / Bob Enevoldsen Quintet Steve White Quartet *Edit: It appears there is a CD by Jimmy Rowles that is missing Edited March 22, 2014 by mikelz777 Quote
king ubu Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 afternoon and evening, into disc 4 (ending with all the fine Power/Tower material) Quote

I did some digging around last night and it doesn't appear that the Jimmy Rowles material was released as an individual CD under the Jazz In Hollywood Series but it looks like you can get it under the title, "Rare, But Well Done". (Liberty label?) Quote
king ubu Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 I'sn't the Rowles the same that's in the Pacific Jazz Piano Trios Select? I've not got the Nocturne set around to compare ... but yes, there's more around. Too bad this lovely set didn't sell enough for them to do Volume 2, it's one where they did things right! (There's even something they included, I think, that Mosaic missed ... need to dig out the Nocturne box, no clue where it could be though). Now playing: That box kinda took me by surprise, I had no idea it might even be around as a possibility ... I'd hardly known any of the material before (I think the lone one I had as OJCCD is "The Panther" - excellent quartet date w/Flanagan). Anyway, I've not nearly spent enough time with this and since I get a kick out of LTD right now, it's the time to give this (or parts of it) another spin. Now discs 4 and 5 (the larger parts of both), the Left Bank recording with Bobby Timmons - messy stuff, but I love it! Afterwards probably the Montreux set with Junior Mance and then "The Panther" (which goes into disc 7) ... oh, the set has plenty of previously unissued alternates. Not that I could really point out any merits or say they're superfluous at this point, but still ... plenty of prev. unissued alternates around ... from the Power/Tower sessions, there's one new tune and six alternates all previously unissued, plus one alt that was on some Dex plays the blues thing. There are also three newly issued alternates from "The Panther", one from "The Chase" with Jug (plus one already on the CD reissue), four from "The Jumpin' Blues" (plus one on that blues thingy), one from the "Generation" session (plus two already added to CDs), and finally an additional tune from "Blues à la Suisse" ... (and the tune added to the CD reissue of the Montreux set is of course there, too, as are all prev. unissued titles added to previous reissues, I reckon). Anyway, great set, a true treasure trove!
