first listen - only bought this a few weeks ago, but I love Stéphan Oliva's music:

[asin]B0013A0EHK[/asin]
an "tribute to harlem piano stride", as it says on the back of the cover, with François Raulin and Stéphan Oliva on pianos, Laurent Dehors on clarinets (b-flat, bass and contrabass), Christophe Monniot on saxophones (sopranino, alto and baritone) and Sébastien Boisseau on bass - the programme includes pieces by James P. Johnson, Willie "The Lion" Smith, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington and W. C. Handy

Fick mich mehr, du hast dein ehr.
Kannstu nit, ich wills dich lern.

Great recording.
Yep! My favorite from Holland's will likely remain "Jumpin' In", because of the great mix there with Julian Priester, Kenny Wheeler and Steve Coleman - and the intriguing drumming of Steve Ellington's - those quintet albums are terrific! But this one and the trio album with Coleman are both very good, too. And the duo of Coleman's with Holland on DIW is wonderful, too!

Thanks! Downloaded "Jumpin' In". :)

afternoon and evening listening:

[asin]B00W4L0MWO[/asin]
this is an unauthorized release, I've had most of the music digitally, but not the unedited versions of the tunes actually released on "Our Man in Jazz" - Rollins top form, amazing music!

and now, just about to wrap up my first listen to this:

[asin]B0009PP3IU[/asin]
"sephardic exotica for young moderns" - love this group!

Great album and seriously undervalued I think.

Yes indeed. I've loved everything I've heard of the Burton / Corea partnership in whatever setting or group.

Unfortunately the Burton album I was playing earlier today was far, far less interesting:

first spin of a new arrival:

[asin]B00N42L7D0[/asin]
alas, they picked a drummer that doesn't match (Cindy Blackman) with her boring (though virtuosos, I guess) rock style ... but good to see Kendrick is still around, his 90s album left room for hope (that here might be an individual voice in the process of taking shape ... guess the new one still gives the same promise, no idea if he'll ever really get there)

Worth buying this? I love the actual album, and have heard good things about this new reissue. Are the missing tracks worth it?

In my opinion it definitely is! Over in Europe it can be had new for as little as 10€ anyway, so not much consideration needed ... but yeah: it does contain the entire concert on the first two discs (and on disc three the LP version again, duplicating about half the tracks, and then adding an interview which I've not listened to yet), and as Garner was a fabulous live performer and really aware of how to pace a show, it's great to have all of it, just as he conceived it (admittedly, the LP edit did very good, but it's still not the whole picture).

Today, so far ("Music Man" from the Mosaic box):

(the "Konitz Meets Giuffre" and "Pice for Clarinet and Orchestra/Mobiles" albums from the later)

And right now:

Roy Eldridge from this box.  1950 recording.  I love this 1940s Pre-bop super-bluesy sound. 

[asin]B0087PI57K[/asin]
It's all good...

Never heard of Martial Solal.  Have now.  Man-crush :-*

Lee Konitz. My moribund love of jazz has sprung back to life. Merci Beaucoups, Disques Vogue!

[asin]B00L9EL9HE[/asin]

  As per the others, from this box:

Busted out this old fave.

[asin]B0000047CZ[/asin]

  Playing this reminds me why I didn't used to like classical music.  I'm listening to the second track, "The Eternal Triangle."  It's as raw and spontaneous as a bar-room brawl.  Really thrilling. 
It's all good...
