Depends what's on the tapes, sound quality wise and complete vs. partial performances. I could see getting tons of this or none of it, am very much in wait and see (hear) mode. I never sprang for the Parker Benedetti box, and found the Parker Prestige sides on 'Bird on 52nd Street' and 'Bird at St. Nicks' unlistenable.. If I was a musician, I could see feeling differently, but I'm a listener/consumer with limited amounts of money/listening time/shelf space to invest, and, like almost all of us, I'm hardly lacking for Coltrane material. +1 I'd be shocked if this stuff was rolled out on any label other than Impulse, especially given that they are the ones releasing the RSD album.

Good point that these two pieces have basically not been heard in live versions. Not much from Giant Steps has been heard live--mainly "Naima" and "Mr. P.C."

They are my #1 source of purchases by a long shot. Probably half the discs that come into my house are from them, a big box comes my way from them every six weeks or so.

That's my take on it.

Received the Hemphill disc the other day, it’s excellent.

"New" archival release: Marty Ehrlich and Julius Hemphill, Circle the Heart on Relative Pitch https://relativepitchrecords.bandcamp.com/album/circle-the-heart While on the bandcamp site, I saw that Ahmed's Giant Beauty 5-CD box set is getting a "third edition" repressing, ETA March 6.

Thinking that the 2CD set I mentioned and the single 3rd disc from Coltrane "Box" pretty much covers everything he did those three days?

that's also what I think... the way I understand it, the Tiberi tapes cover different visits of Coltrane to Philly (or Tiberi to NY) so it could also be an option to have different releases for the different occasions... for instance, the preview belongs to a visit to Philly in July 1960 of Coltrane with Tyner/Davis/La Roca from which there are about 3-4 hours the way I read the Coltrane Reference... so that could be a nice set of 2/3/4 CDs... and then there could be 1961 set, 1962 set etc... something like that would make me happier than a download option for 86 CDs.

As they used to say on Seinfeld "Not bloody likely!" I think Mosaic would be priced out of that opportunity.

Yes, I love that song as well.

Oh yeah I love it. Especially "The Nearness of You". I loved that song since I was a kid and that´s the reason why I included it in my new album. The lyrics of that song are great. Can´t play a ballad in the really heartfelt manner if I wouldn´t know the lyrics....

Yes, and now we need Mosaic to come along and do the exact same thing that they did for the Dean Beneditti recordings!

The Sparks Brothers first recorded it in the 1930s under its current title. Memphis Slim reworked it somewhat, although he called the song "Nobody Loves Me."

I did not know that. Thanks.
