A few too many on that list, which includes some PJ titles not released as "West Coast Classics."

Curtis Amy/Dupree Bolton - Katanga

Earl Anderza - Outa Sight

Chet Baker - Quartet with Russ Freeman

Bob Brookmeyer - Traditionalism Revisited

Teddy Edwards - Sunset Eyes

Jack Montrose - Sextet

Bill Perkins - On Stage

Bud Shank/Bill Perkins

Bud Shank/Bob Cooper - Blowin' Country

Jack Sheldon - Quartet/Quintet

Cy Touff - Octet and Quintet

plus the 2 disc Gerry Mulligan "Original Quintet with Chet Baker" should cover them all.

So far I have the Amy, Baker/Freeman, Brookmeyer, Shank/Perkins, and Touff and am looking for the Edwards. Not a bad one in the bunch and it's hard to pick a favorite.

I went through the process of locating all of these over the last few months. Got two from True Blue and the rest through half.com and ebay. I believe the Chet Baker and Mulligan are still in print. Also, I read somewhere that some of the sessions will be available in upcoming Mosaic Selects.

i wish BN could add more titles to it...

I think they intended to release a third batch of these fine series, but as the first two didn't sell, they stopped.

The first ones were:

Baker/Freeman, Touff, Perkins, Montrose, Sheldon, Shank/Perkins

so the second ones:

Amy/Bolton, Andreza, Brookmeyer, Edwards, Mulligan, Shank/Cooper

My favorites are the Mulligan set (as I don't have the Mosaic), the Baker (same), and Teddy Edwards. Amy was new for me (I could locate the LP version of this one a year or two ago), and I like that one a lot, too.

The Andreza disc is the only one I don't have. Anybody has a second copy?

Was listening this week to the Earl Anderza 'Outa Sight' CD which I purchased the second it

hit the stores when those West Coast Classics were reissued.

This had been a very rare LP which I never ran into. There is a full page reproduction

of the LP cover in the 'California Cool' West Coast Jazz of the 50s and the 60s' book by

Graham Marsh which features many albums covers from the Pacific Jazz, World Pacific, Contemporary, etc. issues.

Same 12inch book size as the earlier Graham Marsh Blue Note covers books.

This was the unique appearance of Earl Anderza on records. He seems to have been a very

modest musician. An excellent one! Anybody knows what happened to him?

on my lunchtime i went to a jazz store here in Rio de Janeiro and there is a sealed copy of Earl Anderza.

imported cd´s in Brazil are not cheap so this one is 66 R$ (which corresponds to 23 US Dollars)

if anyone really needs this one, i´ll be glad to help

peace
