Yeah.  Then again they did Hubbard, Hutcherson etc sets and the music was already mostly easily available.  If they issue a Dexter Gordon set I'll probably buy it.  Because I just reflexively buy new Mosaics.  Never been disappointed.  But I guess I would prefer they focus on things that are harder to find in reasonable sound.

My first exposure to Bird was through Phil Schaap and then I purchased the Yardbird Suite that I mentioned awhile ago. I then followed that with The Complete Dial Sessions on Jazz Classics (which was a very useful set), then a large Savoy and Dial set from one of the Spanish companies, which I sold when Savoy issued the Complete Savoy and Dial.  Like you I have a lot of live stuff, plus the Mosaic and the 10cd Verve set and anything else that comes  out that may be interesting.  Stash put out some interesting CDs that I have.    

Stumbled across this series of live recordings from Finnish Radio (the series is called Jazz-Liisa).  It looks like there are 15 in the series, and the entire series is up on Bandcamp: https://jazzliisa.bandcamp.com/music All except #1 (Unisono Quartet) and #13 (Eero Koivistoinen) appear to be available on Apple Music (at least in Canada).  Interestingly, I have one CD by Eero Koivistoinen (Wahoo), though I haven't pulled it out in a very long time.  I'll try to track it down soon.
