Looks like a less expensive version of this box.

Pete Turner, Photographer with an Eye for Color and an Ear For Jazz, Dies at 83

Very sad. Listened to a lot of Husker Du when I was younger. Always loved Grant's songwriting.

Dizzy Gillespie mosaic set for $106 at Reckless.

The Searchers, of course. And I love the Sergio Leone films.

And I'm sure this has been posted here before over the years, but the "How Steely Dan got Wayne Shorter" story is a good one.

eBay seems to be flooded with Mosaic sets these days. A Johnson set sold for $87 recently. A lot of good deals out there.

After 7 Decades, Sonny Rollins Can't Get Music Off His Mind

Slightly disappointed in how little Wes there is on this. As noted above, he is on 6 of the 10 tracks, but 2 of those fade out after 2:10 and 2:47. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to have it, the music is great, but I was hoping for a bit more Wes.

I placed an order on May 4th, and got the "forwarded to warehouse" notice on May 14th. Received the Mulligan LP set today. I thought they were going to wait to ship it with the MJQ, but that wasn't the case. I'd also ordered the Mingus. I have to say, the boxes for the vinyl sets are much nicer than they look in the photos on the website.

Shipping today from Amazon.

One of those Ellington 1947-1952 sets on eBay. The shipping makes it a little too pricey for me. That's the first one I've seen with the outer box like that, too.

I see that on eBay frequently and wondered about it myself. Here's an older thread on it.
