Keith Jarrett – Keith Jarrett At The Blue Note - The Complete Recordings I-VI (ECM, 1994)

I'm not really Keith Jarrett's audience, but a recent attempt to reappraise Braxton's Leo Standards megaboxes has brought me back to this too.

The quality throughout this one really is very high (although it does nod at times). It seems to me (and others who like later Jarrett more than me may have more informed opinions) that it really dwarfs the other Standards Trio records in quality, as if it were a self conscious Great Work.

In contrast, I'm not at all a fan of the Braxton Leo standards boxes, despite liking Braxton's music more, and despite enjoying his other, more targeted, standards sets from around the same time (Tristano, Parker Project etc). So I have found revisiting this record and Fred Hersch's Songs Without Words a salutary experience.

Overall, any massive box set grates a bit for me (why not make your statement concise? Or, if you're going to record 16 albums of doing the washing up because listeners deserve your Genius, split it up, as a concession? ("Solo (Kitchen) 2019, Vol 17")), but some records are massive for a reason. "These are the Alps", to use a line from Basil Bunting, in reference to another baggy and enormous Great Work.

What I need are the different matrix data from the original issue in 1989 - Can someone help?

I remember how jazzed I was to discover there was an additional trove of Blanton-Webster era Ellington band recordings:

Because I will buy ANY record of Pres with Basie in 1944. It seems like there's not all THAT much of, but I keeping finding things like this. Some are richer than others 

This one is not the motherlode, but it is above average. And the immediate post-Jo band with Shadow Wilson is also a treat.

Anybody who does not know 1944 Basie/Lester, stop what you're doing right now and get a copy of this by any means necessary:

Discogs has at least one copy for stoopid cheap for some reason:

https://www.discogs.com/release/3203384-Various-Historical-Prez-Lester-Young-1940-1944

 It's times like this that my life has real meaning. So carpe diem!!!!

1997 concert in France, issued by an Italian magazine. I probably got it from the band.

Mal Waldron - From Dark Into the Light

One of his best latest records. Romanian tenor sax player Nicolas Simion is an excellent replacement for Jim Pepper. He has that same powerful tone. Time for a Waldron Tutu Mosaic box?
