WHAT! The big hands are coming back. I say: HANDS OFF HANS ISLAND!

Everything on the Condon Mosaic has come out on Collectables twofers. Nothing from the Buck Clayton though, and I wonder if that may have to do with the plentiful and tricky edits that were on the original LPs? Mosaic released complete takes as they were recorded as far as posssible. ← Re Eddie Condon Could you point me in the right direction. I am aware of 3 two-fors. That takes care of 6 LPs. But what about 1) DIXIELAND JAM ($50.00 being asked for used LP) 2) NEWPORT Jazz Festival 1956 3) CHICAGO my home town 4) JAZZ OMNIBUS ($24.00 being asked for used LP) Are the above also on two-fors?

Seamen? ? Why do they call the camel the ship of the desert? Answer: Because it's full of Egyptian semen! Oops! I mean Seamen!

Where do you get the information Universal Music Group distributes these in the US? ← For example: Bix And Tram (Rm) [bEST OF] [bOX SET] Universal Music Group; ASIN: B00006BT4G Away from Basie [bEST OF] [bOX SET] Universal Music Group; ASIN: B0009HBEVI

Yes, I also bought the O'Day set plus the JJJ one. Now! Yesterday there was a thread re. the JSP label, so I looked over their Web site and eventually I got to Amazon and saw this: Start of quote: "ILLEGAL RIP-OFF, June 8, 2005 Reviewer: Scott A. Wenzel This box set is a rip-off of the Mosaic 7 disc set which can be found at www.mosaicrecords.com. JSP and other labels like Proper, take the hard work our engineers do (JRT Davies, Doug Pomeroy, Vince Caro) and without giving them a dime, burn their own CDs of Mosaic issues and this is one of them. The tune selections are the same as the Mosaic box which are the Vocalion, Brunswick and Parlophone sessions of Berigan. The Mosaic set is the size of a LP set with lavash pictures and massage discographical entries not given on the cheapo rip-off labels." End of quote. I find this very strange as JRT Davies's name is prominently displayed on JSP boxes, and those box sets are distributed in North America by Univeral Music Group. I thought there was a tie-in with Mosaic and Universal, but maybe not. Anybody care to comment! Based on the above review I bought the JSP set. I couldn't resist a bargain.

Today's suggestion: JAZZ DIRECTORY by Dave Carey & Albert McCarthy. I'm really heavy into Volume 3 (E-F-G), the book's getting a little ratty. I read a little every night. I am all the way up to: "Four Nuts And A Peanut". That's Peanuts Holland.

ART BLAKEY LIVE AT BUBBAS

ONE GOOSE TWO GEESE ONE MOOSE TWO MEESE ? I DON't GET IT?

THE PROGRAM IS FROM CONCERT I AALBORGHALLEN, 16 APRIL 1953. I was just kidding about Wild Cat Blues and Bill Bailey. I found the reference browsing thru Grunnet Jepsen's old Jazz Records 1942-1962.

At Storyville it's business as usual--at least as close to usual as it could be without Karl Knudsen. Fortunately, Mona Tanager, Karl's right-hand woman of many years, is running things. She knows the company inside out and I feel comforted by the fact that she is hanging in there (she had talked of retiring a few years back). Eventually, of course, the company will be sold. I fear the worst when that happens and Karl's spirit evaporates. As some of you know, my association with Storyville goes back over fifty years, to the time I used my early B&O tape recorder to make the label's first recordings (Ken Colyer's band). For that reason, and because of the close friendship I maintained with Karl through all those years, I almost feel as if I were losing a part of my life--but not yet. Let's hope Storyville is taken over by someone who cares, not a corporation. ← Here's a little memento from a few days after you recorded "Wild Cat Blues" in the toilet with Monty Sunshine. Was "Bill Bailey" rejected because of toilette noise?

I solved it myself. The files are hidden ???? BUT Musicmatch ripped it ok, no problem. Over and out!

I was finally able to get some of the old MGM titles with Woody Herman. Or so I thought. It's Woody Herman, Standard Times. I play most of my CDs on my computer. I have an expensive 5.1 speaker system hooked up, and that sound is much better than my other book shelf one. Now, the CD will not play. It's a multimedia Ocium with Macrovision file. I also covert to MP3 for my Creative Jukebox, but of course am unable to do this with this stupid CD. CAN SOMEBODY GIVE ME A HINT WHAT TO DO? I didn't know the Ocium label was from Spain. Imagine copiers putting copy protection on their CDs.

I met Karl Emil in Aalborg in early 1950's. His concert was Henrik Johansen's Jazz Band. Kind of harsh New Orleans in those days. I recorded some of the music on a B&O tape machine, the one with the 3 speed turntable on top. Quite a machine at the time. The recording is so so, but not balanced properly. It was forgotten until recenly when I dug out some old 7" tape reels. Thanks for your ealier Storm P quote about the saxophone. Maybe you have some more? Write them in English for everybody to enjoy.

I just saw Cayman's offer on the Basie Set: $112.64 new. But, get this! The current Roy Eldridge set: $274.36 new ???? Who is this Cayman, is it a store or what ?

I have searched for this LP for a long time. Has anybody ever heard about it? Argo LP 4006 Morris Grants Presents Junk. Personnel: Miles Morris, Morris Ferguson, Bet Taker, trumpets Mon Cherie, pocket trumpet Can-E-Ball Naturally, Sol Desman, alto saxophones Ornette Morris, plastic alto saxophone Merry Julligan, baritone Morris Brewbeck, Theloneliest Monk, Morris Garner alternating pianos Gene Blooper, drums It was recorded at Boston's Grove Hall Philharmonic early 1961. Some of the tunes: Le Tup, Jumping with Symphony Sid, Making Whoopee, Creative Love, 'Round Lunchtime. According to Morris Grant, at the time, the idea was to create CHAOS. The musicians were told to like, just blow. Then, when all the engrems had ben expelled from the cortex of the horns, the CHAOTIC principle had been achieved.

Just came across this site, it might help somebody looking for info. www.jazzdisco.org/

These are the CDs that cover the late 40's and early 50's Benny Goodman: 1) Undercurrent Blues on Capitol 2) Complete trios on Capitol 3) "Complete small groups sessions" vol 1 & 2 on Blue Moon available either as singles or double album 4) "New sextet sessions" on Ocium. That's the group with Teddy Wilson and Terry Gipps (misspelt on purpose) You will then have the same and more than the Mosaic set except alternates and perhaps unissues.

Just bought Nat King Cole 10 CD box, cost $18.00. 10 CD's with 24 tracks on each. I think it's a rip off the Mosaic set. I can't find the Mosaic track listing anywhere. I would like to cross-reference. Anybody kind enough to post them (I know it's a few pages or more) Thank you. The box is the German "Documents".

Anybody have any comment on the following: MAGIX DVD Audio: Burn your music in unbeatable, top-quality (up to 24-bit and 48kHz) with real 4-channel surround sound http://site.magix.net/index.php?id=411 It's free to try out.

Sopot Jazz Festival 1957. Not much of a collectors item I'd think; I had two copies and gave one away... Strange that you mention its being sealed, I can hardly imagine these were ever sealed originally. Is it in one of those flimsy generic covers? ← No, it's in color, abstract design by Roslaw Szaybo. I still think it's a collectors item (in Poland). ← dunno who designed it, but mine looks like the attached pic. The other one had a different cover I remember, but similar. Also without any specific text and a hole in the back so you can read the label. Were there more than one release with different looks maybe? ←

The Sheldon LP "Get out of town" went for $94.90. I am just looking at a l0" LP - "Albert Nicholas" in Poland (live concert) recorded 1957 or 58 I think. MUZA Polska Nagrania L 0161 sealed, never opened. I understand this is a collectors item in Poland. This is from the communist era. WOW $ 94.90 for Jack Sheldon. I must be sitting on a gold mine.
