Yeah, this is good.

Pierre Dørge & New Jungle Orchestra – Music From The Danish Jungle (Dacapo, 1996)

There was a Jesse Welles segment on CBS Morning News today. I was skeptical - BUT it was pretty good.

Maybe that's where the 250 foot high arch is going.

Yes, I also found the sound clips ! A bit sad to admit that, after listening to those, I'm gonna skip these re-releases ....

3. Just got another one. "Language", Myra Melford from Snowy Egret.

I like Lady Gaga's contribution, which is a little more subtle:

They decided they had to kill the center in order to save it. 😒

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.
