I don't remember what my first box set was, but my first Mosaic was the Larry Young box. Also, my box collecting has been exclusively CDs. I don't necessarily listen to boxes often, but I find that I've been buying them more often lately. Especially boxes with lots of extra and/or live tracks and videos that have previously been unreleased. Sometimes the Alt versions are more interesting than the commercially released ones - especially with rock music.

Yea, it took me a long time to get through it. But, as Jim says, it does have value. A lot of work and research went into it.

Hopefully it would be better than Crouch's typically arrogant, self-promoting liner notes.

My first Mosaic was the Lee Mogan set, followed just a few months later by the Serge Chaloff and Jackie McLean. Before that, I'm pretty sure my actual first "box set" purchase was the Ornette Coleman on Atlantic. I listened to that box nearly every day for over a year—pure love. Then I discovered John Zorn's Masada (this was about 1995) and my listening turned a corner. Then, a few years after that, I discovered the JSP box sets, and my listening went backward chronologically, and I purchased the Jelly Roll, Armstrong 5's & 7's, Django, Bix & Tram, and Hoagy Carmichael JSP sets.

Other people have quickly written songs for Minneapolis. Here is Billy Bragg's: https://www.undertheradarmag.com/news/billy_bragg_shares_new_protest_song_for_minneapolis_city_of_heroes

It is closing for two years in July for renovations.

Same here or it may possibly have been the CP Dial LP box - both purchased sometime in the 80s - still have both

Correct!

8. OK, "Rapid shave", Shirley Scott from Queen of the organ live at the Front Room. Very nice tune.

That is corect.

Tack 1 I meant to say. 1 & 13.

Disc 2

I've never really been a Bruce fan. I've had women in my life who are, and I've heard a lot. None-the-less i think his intent here is to "expose" and perhaps move a person or two. He's been outspoken against this administration before--this is not an isolated incident. May he awaken a nerve or two.

Frank Rosolino “Free for All” Specialty/OJC cd 550×550 155 KB Bass – Leroy Vinnegar Drums – Stan Levey Piano – Victor Feldman Tenor Saxophone – Harold Land Trombone – Frank Rosolino Recorded December 22, 1958, at Radio Recorders, Hollywood.

I did and no record of it existed, though I am positive that I submitted it. Evidently an internet outage happened, as I never was charged on my credit cards (I checked them all) nor did I find a confirmation from Mosaic. Scott is taking care of me, so all is well.

Correct title and artist on 2, full ID on 5. Got the album name in there for 2, so that's a full ID by the team Artist correct on 5 and 7, full IDs above Your clever response on 8 gets full ID credit, no way you don't know all the details Correct on 9 and 11 The artist for #13 appears elsewhere on the BFT, but it's not track 3. No ID's so far conflict with your closing hypothesis. Full ID, well done

👍

Stanley Turrentine is a sideman on #8 #9 is Betty Carter, absolutely The guitarist is not the leader of #5 If I don't comment on a player name guess, that guess is incorrect. Thanks for listening and the feedback. Artist and title correct on 2, full IDs on 9 and 11 Correction, Full ID on 9 but incorrect on 11. JSngry nails it below.

4. Just I got it, Patricia Brennan "Andromeda" from Of the near and far.

And I think he released it because he wished to. Neither of us know so attributing motive is pretty redundant. What's more important is what effect if any it has. That's been debated already so I'll not retread it.

Such a great album!

Duke Ellington and his Orchestra “The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse” Fantasy/OJC cd 600×600 134 KB I’m enjoying the piano player’s “riki tiki.”
