AFAICT (consulting discogs), of the 12 albums pictured on the Mosaic page, only Fiorello has not appeared on CD. Although many of the various CD releases were Japanese.
I think that a qualifying line is missing, i.e. that the cds listed contain material that was not out on the original LPS. I think only 3 of the LPs listed have themselves not been out on cd, maybe only 2.
You were not far off the mark.
Just listened to that Jazzpickers LP. The intro gives it away - and so do the liner notes. Quote: "Evening in Azerbaijan, a Latin-tinged theme in the minor mode, might have been called 'The Day after the Night in Tunisia' ...".
Nuff said?
That would have been a post for the "Night In Tunisia" thread too.
I am most intrigued by the expansion of "old stand by" sets with mostly guaranteed audiences to now include a Verve recording artist. (well, for most of these anyway). Seems like the same effort to keep the lights on with a set with a strong likelihood of sales at this point in time. Not that i don't support Mosaic doing what is necessary to keep the lights on.
That's why I'm confused. I'm extremely interested (and will need to dig through the discography more) but my instinct was that more of this has been out on CD... I mean his estate is the main body (his daughter) who's putting out unreleased stuff and all of that is live, previously unreleased material. I guess I find it hard to think that's there's a lot of studio stuff that hasn't been out before... (Is what I'm saying making sense?)
