Hi, If someone interested, I have 3 tickets for the Brad Mehldau Trio (sold out) at Montréal on Saturday July 3 at the Salle Gésu (Center, Row O, seats 9-11-13). I sell those the price I paid : $CN55 or $US40 each. Thanks BTW Indoors concerts for the Festival can be seen here

Elvin was supposed to come here in Montréal this summer for the Montréal International Jazz Festival. Terrible news for all jazz fans

Paul, Sent you e-mail (Dorham and Rouse)

Look very interesting but it's code region 0 so not playable in USA or Canada I presume ? Or playable in some way ?

The Fuller is reaching a high Fuller Even if it appears very regularly on eBay

Just a few minutes left for this 2 cd's item : still very cheap ($3.99 and no bids yet) and great music : Here P.S. : I'm not the seller

A Barney Wilen/Kenny Dorham LP went for US$1 580.00 : here

Hi, - I live in Montreal far far away (in distance and $) from any TOCJ or any OOP cd's - Almost all of my collection (about 700) come from buying on Internet. From the good time of Music Boulevard (with their tons of coupons that you could combine at that time ) to present eBay possibilities (not Mosaic there for me however) - I'm a big Blue Note hard-bop fan and have a prononced "collector side" - Mosaic boxes are expensive specially for non-euro or non-US$ countries but if I look how many rare albums or impossible to find album I have on a Mosaic, it's a great buy. If I have to buy 5 or 6 TOCJ to have the music of a Mosaic (ex.: Mobley, Morgan) it would be much more costly. - The box (great b & w photos) - The booklet - And last but not least : the Music Michel

I think it's countdown time for the Mitchell set ... Some people remember the Flip Philipps/Charlie Ventura when, in a few hours, the set went from last chance to OOP ?

Blue Mitchell and Stanley Turrentine 5 minutes ago ... I'm probably in a "Classic Blue Note Hard Bop Mood" and while my $CAN is not in so bad shape ...

Thad Jones Blue Note/UA/Roulette and Curtis Fuller a few years ago. Still in my favorites Mosaic boxes for musical and ... sentimental reasons

Check those 2 Warne Marsh cd's : Sax of a Kind and For The Time Being

Wow !! Cool avatar Couw

Hans, you are right. I live in Canada and have the same problem. But there is a way to partially bypass this situation if you are a eBay member. Vey often the half.com sellers also sell on eBay. Just make a search for this seller on eBay, if there is a result click on his name to ask him a question and tell him about the cd that you saw on half.com that interests you. Quite often he will answer positively. Good luck. Michel

Sent you a PM. Michel M

Woody Shaw is a wonderful player. I "discover" him not long time ago when I bought a cd called In My Own Sweet Way from his latest period : it's a real gem. Trumpet and rythm section. Since that time I buy everything I can see from WS, particularly from the 32 jazz series (reissues of his Muse recordings) unfortunately OOP. But I was able to find a few on eBay : Setting Standards, Imagination, Last of the Line, Two more pieces of the puzzle, Little Red's fantasy. All are great music, he can put emotion on standards like few others and his compositions are full of surprises : a hard bop sound but pushed a little further. If you can grab one of those don't hesitate. Also on 32 jazz, sideman for Louis Hayes on The Real Thing and for Neil Swainson on 49th Parallell. Two other great cd's. I missed the Mosaic set but I recently called someone at Mosaic and had the #3 cd with box and booklet for the price of the cd alone. Great bargain.

Hi, Saw on an italian site (Contro Tempo) that they have a lot of Mosaic sets for sale, including some OOP (Woods, Fuller, Charles Brown (!), Giuffre, Philipps, Shank). How come ? Price seems a bit high for some but great for others (Woods at 100 euros). If the're available may be someone here can make a good deal Here

Claude, Unfortunately, yes. Specially with my poor $Can . Thanks for reply.

I'm looking for the Warren Vaché/Bill Charlap 2gether cd Thanks for any information (or offer Michel mivisy@yahoo.ca
