sidewinder Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) What a gem ! That one is a beauty Brownie - Can't believe I survived without this set for so long ! The music is totally life-afirming. It cost me the grand total of £6 too (my 'buy of the year' to date). Edited June 5, 2013 by sidewinder Quote

tomatamot Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 The Complete Art Pepper at Ronnie Scott's Club, London, June 1980. My fav. box, 7 Lp`s ( OK 6 and a half ) but this sound so awful good. Quote
paul secor Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 CD 1 I think that you'll love that box, brownie. Quote
brownie Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) CD 1 I think that you'll love that box, brownie. Indeed! But i have enjoyed Elmore James ever since I was hooked on his music by Jacques Demetre when I was still a teenager. Demetre was the coauthor of the classic book 'Land of the Blues' which recounted his 1959 trip to the USA and his encounter with James in Chicago. Demetre also took the color photos (including the cover) that adorn the excellent accompanying booklet. And that Ace bow is a gem! Edited June 29, 2013 by brownie Quote
Clunky Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Lars Gullin----- The EMI Years 1964- 1976-----(EMI Sweden) Jazz Amour , so very different from his 50s output. Fine mastering on this 1987 LP set, don't know if there was ever an CD version. Recommended Quote

Land of the Blues is a fine book filled with many, many great photos. I'm lucky to have a copy. The music world owes a large debt to Jacques Demetre. Did you know Mr. Demetre? Quote
brownie Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 Yes, Paul! Was lucky to be acquainted with Demetre when I was writing articles in Jazz Hot in the late 50s. Demetre had an apartment very close to the magazine headquarters and I spent several afternoons there listening to his collection of 78rpm blues records. A very interesting man. However I was on even better terms with his co-author Marcel Chauvard whose tastes ranged wider and went beyond blues into the hardbop productions from BN, Prestige and others (a rare opportunity in the late 50s over here!).
