Saw this thread referenced elsewhere on the board and thought I'd resurrect it. I have two sets that I got directly from Mosaic years ago that came with booklets, but in plain boxes. So, I am looking for the actual outer boxes that came with the sets. 1. Shorty Rogers 2. Herbie Nichols I check eBay and Discogs every once in a while. I recently snagged a George Lewis outer box on Discogs, which knocked that one off my list. Still looking for the other two.

Yesterday, I ordered three Charlie Mariano CDs from Dusty Groove: Outstanding.

NP:

I'm still surprised that this 2-CD set has never been reissued. It's virtually gone on the market. There's been one for sale on discogs for crazy money for several years and the history shows only one sold. You would think Joey's estate would put this out. I think this year I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy the mp3 downloads from Amazon.

I watched a Bogie film last night too:

What a fascinating line-up. I don't think I've ever seen this album before. What do you think of it, @kh1958?

The hourly schedule has been posted since last week.

Jakob Bro/Lee Konitz/Bill Frisell/Jason Moran/Thomas Morgan/Andrew Cyrile, Taking Turns (ECM)

This again:

I fondly remember those Firestone records, and while some of the stuff was pretty lame, the memories I have of those Christmas songs being played at Christmas time as a kid are not. A few albums I enjoyed then and have CDs of now are the Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song, Christmas with Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell - That Christmas Feeling, and Harry Belafonte - To Wish You A Merry Christmas.

full list here, quite a few first time to cd, that Eddie Louiss one is really great! https://www.catfish-records.jp/product-group/1105

Pretty damn dark.

Will never forget seeing his cameo appearance with Bruce at SXSW 2012

One of the budget cinemas in Toronto was showing Jeanne Dielman. (A strange choice.) I figured the only way I would stick it out was in the theatre, as opposed to watching at home. I'm sure that is the case after sitting through it this evening. I'll just say I am not a fan and leave it at that.

just spied my old post - I managed to score a complete CD box set in 2022, so no need for a booklet

Joshua Redman “Timeless Tales (for Changing Times)” Warner Bros. cd Not the best Redman album of the 'nineties but with that band. . . still an interesting listen. Joshua with Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier and Brian Blade.

The audio equivalent of comfort food for me. Antonio Carlos Jobim “Stone Flower” CTI+RVG King Records Japan SHM-CD

John Hicks “I Remember You” High Note cd Solo Hicks. Great disc.

You can search Internet Archives or Old Time Radio for the various treasury shows. I think there is not that much jazz. Your best bet for other jazz broadcasts is the Jubliee series. https://www.otrcat.com/p/jubilee

I'm definitely more interested in Mulligan as a baritone sax improviser, though I do think he was also excellent as a big band arranger and composer. He never could manage to sustain it financially long-term, but Mulligan seems happy when he's leading a big band on a spot basis. This is from his relatively later years; some might find it overly sweet, but personally I quite like it because it features plenty of Mulligan (and others) solos.
