    Where do I go to buy this? Discogs lists it as existing but has no copies for sale.

    Tough call, but I think I agree with those who've listed the Basie Live Roulette set on Mosaic. That said, the Savory set........

    Oh my, this is dreadful news. So very, very sad to hear this. From the first Monk set on, I feel like much of my jazz listening life has consisted of following in his wake as he birthed beautiful album after beautiful album, set after set, opening me up to so much wonderful music. I will be forever in his debt.

    Got this one on Chuck's recommendation, and, as usual, he's absolutely right. The sound is very good. Like the video stuff too. Thanks Chuck!

    That IS a cool cover!

    Nice liners by Loren Schoenberg on this one, but no personnel list, which is irritating. Sound is good.

    Continuing my exploration of early Chicago jazz while re-reading _Hear Me Talkin' to Ya_

    And the losses of the Deccas too. A real tragedy.

    Davies really was a magician when it came to remastering

    Back toward the beginning

    That's my favorite Silver album. I've always figured Mosaic didn't do one because most of them are easy to get and have remained in print and because there are a LOT of them.

    Don't pull this one out very often, but reading Hentoff's _Hear Me Talkin' To Ya_ led to a listen.

    I've had this one sitting on my shelf longer than I've had shelves, and I know I've read "in" it, maybe through it, though if so, longer ago than I can remember, so I've decided to read it through...again?! I find myself wishing I had the original 1955 edition with the discography that they decided to omit from the later editions. It would presumably have been mostly 78s.

    Who are the soloists on that one? Would have been cool to hear her do one chorus of "Groovin' High"!

    I like the live Tokyo date from Mainstream. Picked that one up in a Jazz Heritage edition. For some weird reason, Jazz Heritage reissued a bunch of Maintream jazz things from that period. I also prefer later Sarah, especially the Ellington song books on Pablo.

    Very cool. Love me some Tubby Hayes!

    That was a *great* band!

    They continued to be friends. Laine appeared on Nat's short-lived TV show to support him. Thanks to TTK for the explanation on that label. I had no idea!

    Nice record, but what's the story with the super old-style Columbia label on that 78?!
