I had a very good experience with Mosaic customer service. I recently bought a Mosaic set. When it was delivered one corner of the box was crushed- probably due to USPS poor handling. Fortunately the CDs were OK. I called Mosaic (actually talked to a human) and told them of the problem. I received a replacement box within a week. Hats off to them!

I just got the "Minor Strain" CD. Two great sessions. Nice to have when you cannot afford the recently released 10-in LP.

Bump.

Bump.

On the "Minor Strain" CD a Thad Jones session is included with the Lee Morgan session. What is the date and location of the Jones session?

Now that volume 3 has been released are there any plans for volume 4?

Is there any kind of index to this massive collection? Also it would be nice to know which tapes (or portions of tapes) have never been issued on LP or CD.

The Pettiford link references the RLR 3-CD set titled "The 1958 European Tour" by JJ Johnson and Kai Winding. Two of the songs (Tenderly and Making Whoopee) on the Unique Jazz LP are not shown on the Amazon track listing of the 3 CDs. I wonder if this is a case of mis-labeling the tracks on the CDs or if the LP really has two songs that are yet to be released on CD.

David Ayers- many thanks for the link to Oscar Pettiford. The link answered my questions.

Does anyone know any discographical information about this LP? The label is Unique Jazz (UJ-25). The cover says "made in Israel", the LP itself is marked "made in Italy". There are 9 cuts by 5 different groups. Artists are Phineas Newborn (2), Red Garland (2), JJ and Kai (2), Zoot and Lee Konitz (1), and Zoot (2). Oscar Pettiford and Kenny Clarke are also listed but not specifically to a cut. Only date info is "Late 50's". Most cuts do sound live. Is this a compilation of 5 short bootlegs? or what? The music is quite good and the recording quality (mono) is also quite good. The LP made a nice CDR.

Bump.

Pacific Jazz released a 12-CD series (plus a sampler) titled "West Coast Classics". Absolutely outstanding music!

Kevin- many thanx for this lead on Jay Migliori. I will pursue and post results.
