70's Joe isn't as famous as 70's Miles, but that era of Henderson is worthy of wider investigation. In Japan is blowing my mind all over again. I wish there were more than four songs on the U.S. compact disc. The rhythm section on that record is definitely no slouch. They were inspired!

+2!!

Yep, the original Woodstock album has three LPs. Some of the recordings on the original Woodstock album were not recorded at the Woodstock festival, but that's another discussion.

Would love to see this set. (Would it contain late 60's recordings as well?) Yes to both, particularly if the Barron set included Motivation, truly a hidden gem. It does seem, however, that Mosaic is predominantly interested in mining swing-era recordings from the 30s and 40s—though there's nothing wrong with that. The Pharoah Sanders set would be a notable exception. The last Hank Mobley and recent Bobby Hutcherson sets would also be exceptions. The demand for post-1960 recordings—or is it label and/or contractual red tape—might realistically prevent box sets from this era being produced. Not entirely sure, but I'm always a little surprised when a new Mosaic of swing-era recordings is released. I don't mean to complain though—any new Mosaic is just cause for celebration.

Some great choices so far. I'd add Wenders.

Now spinning: with arrangements by William S. Fischer

Bill Barron as a leader Bill Dixon as leader/producer for Savoy, or Savoy avant-garde in general George Russell in Europe (Saba, Concept, Flying Dutchman). Could include Soul Notes too but not sure if CAM would license those...

One I just heard of recently and really enjoyed is Harry Allen’s Christmas In Swingtime from 2001. With Jake Hanna, Peter Bernstein, and Larry Goldings on organ. A hip and swinging group playing the classics in a succinct, tasteful way.

Complete 1970's Max Roach Quartet with Billy Harper.

MCA Records MCA2-4017 - George Russell " New York,N.Y & Jazz In The Space Age" -

I was thinking the same thing.

If the guys at Craft were hip, they'd reissue this, and on a twofer CD as well.

Haven't you answered your own question of why its never been reissued? From what you have been posting I assumed this was a super terrific Christmas set and impossible to even hear.
