Absent for a while, I am amused by the quarreling of Caroline and Michel. Love hot pepper to my dishes.
The essence of Al’s remark is that the quality of the music is not a criterium for the label freaks: EmArcy, apparently, is not “in” anymore. Let it be so, it gives excellent opportunities for neophytes to build a very nice collection of first class music.
BTW: I have once seen a grey version of a 36070 DG drummer label. Seems to be original too, the only grey label in the EmArcy series. Comments anybody?

I hate to take sides in such a food fight; but I would have to agree (if with a bit of reluctance based on my less than perfect French) that Caroline does tend to be dismissive of arguments with which she disagrees; her statement that Michel “neither digest[s] nor understand[s]” was clearly invidious – and I think her opinion regarding Michel’s Starbucks comment seems overboard for what I saw as an innocent joke

Si indiquant une opinion ferme provoque de nommer une personne comme «arrogante», alors peut-être que vous devriez suivre vos propres conseils et ne pas offrir commentaire sarcastique comme “…Al : You have “the price of……”

“Once again Michel, you read, but neither digest nor understand”. Wow. My english will certainly not allow me to answer correctly to this. I think we here all know the history of Clifford Brown. Vous ne semblez guère aimer la contradiction, (si tant est qu’il y avait une contradiction dans mes propos) : je décèle également une pointe d’arrogance dans votre façon de vous adresser aux membres de ce forum, qui n’ont pas découvert l’histoire du jazz depuis votre arrivée. Cela est fort regrettable, mais sans doute imputable à ce qu’il me semble être une confusion permanente entre vos certitudes – qui vous sont légitimes- et certaines réalités.

Clifford’s death was indeed sad, and a severe blow to the development of Bop, a form represented superbly in the Brown-Roach sides. To say that the group represented “the last impressive harvest of the bebop era” however is, IMHO, going a bit too far – can’t you find any impressive Bop after 1956, cher Caroline? Of course, much depends on your definition of Bop:
“‘Bebop’ was a label that certain journalists later gave it, but we never labeled the music. It was just modern music, we would call it. We wouldn’t call it anything, really, just music.”

Looks like the Saxophone Colossus was relisted from a January auction. Perhaps it went unpaid, or perhaps someone wasn’t satisfied with the condition?

I think the Mulligan-Hodges is a nice album with a very enticing cover. And, you don’t see it around too much (as compared to other Hodges and Mulligan albums). Plus, Rabbit has a bit of a cult following, no? (count me as part of the cult)

I sold the Mulligan Hodges in October for $180. The market has its ups and downs.
