Canadian country!

Oh, when was that made ?

Huge discounts on Bob Dylan box sets at Movie Mars: The Cutting Edge is $51.95 Basement Tapes is $57.95 The 1966 Live Recordings (36xCD) is $55.95.

.

BTW, Mtume was Jimmy Heath's son.

I especially love "Moonscape" from the quartet session. So beautiful. Both albums feature Larry Willis & Jack DeJohnette. 🙂 NP: Lovely.

That's fantastic! What are your impressions of that set. Very curious. Thanks for your input on the Ferguson set. I actually sat on that for 24 hours or so taking a chance it would still be available.

That was my first McLean album. All of it is so good, especially the quartet part which must be his most obscure Blue Note session. But "Blue Fable" is my favorite track.

I agree.

@Big Beat Steve: I don´t remember, do you know how much has happened this year, first my wife left me, then she died, I made a new record, I found a new love, I got diagnosis with bipolar disorder, I played a lotta gigs and had a lot of tears and a lot of happiness..... so, how could I remember what I posted or noticed before all those things happened 🤣

FWIW - we didn't record either night in London (or indeed, any of the farewell tour, as far as I remember). That said, we've done many radio things in the past, including for the BBC, so there's certainly stuff in the archive! The farewell tour was really something - we finished last week in Athens, to a really fantastic audience...the band has been together for essentially 15 years at this point, so it's been a special couple of months!

I got the set full-price 1-2 years after it was first released — and it was probably the very first non-Mosaic box set I ever bought. I think I only had 3 Mosaics at that point: the Hill, McLean, and Cherry boxes. That Henderson box is easily one of the top-10 jazz boxes I’ve owned — and maybe top-5 actually.

I wasn't even vaguely thinking of Sooners, the OU I had confused was Ohio University. One of my nieces is attending there. Now Gregory Groover Jr.'s latest one, “Old Knew” on Criss Cross cd The title makes me think of my Dad, how I wish I could get his advice . . . he sure is missed. He knew . . . about anything I need knowledge of. Joel Ross is a great addition here.

Yes, probably to me in that huge exchange we had, thanks. I know it's not something I would have ever chosen to make an indvidual purchase of.
