Wow! That is cool, and sounding that good in the mid-eighties.   Huge Horace nut as well. Thanks for the review, I knew I was going to buy it, but it's reassuring to hear that it's really good! Repackaged as Early Circle? If so, great stuff 👍 My favorite Russell!

Hopefully David and company put on a great show and outdraw the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

Got this one to go with the book. Started listening to it backwards with disc 4. Once I start the book, I'll go in order, but there is some very interesting stuff here that I haven't heard before. Great Cootie, of course!  

That’s the ONLY Mosaic I think I’ve ever pre-ordered (out of 40+ Mosaic sets I’ve bought over the last 30 years, including Selects). Not so much for Berliner Jazztage specifically, as it was because I absolutely HATED most of the 32jazz reissues of Woody’s Muse catalog. Especially the ones in those black plastic CD cases — you know, the ones with the adhesive album cover art — uugh!!!!!! 

Old wine, new bottles.
