Congratulations! Is that in Philly?

Flora is what you get when you combine Flurin with fora. Now you're going ad hominem and I only wanted a pretense to show you a pic of my dear friend Flora... No pretense needed for that!

Excuse me, Mr. I-Took-Latin-In-High-School.

I hope Conn doesn't see this, or he'll really get a big head.

My second (7/29) order shipped yesterday--everything except Monk's "Misterioso", "Plays Duke Ellington", and "Thelonious Himself", and Rollins' "Worktime".

It's on the way.

When did you place that order? Some of those are on my 7/29 order, about which I've heard nada.

A couple of weeks ago, I got the Complete Monk Prestige box--with K2 discs but sans booklet--from Zweitausendeins for something like 6 Euros (and couw has kindly prepared inserts for this box with all the discographical information). Don't know if it's still available, but it might be worth a look.

Johnny! A Homecoming! Looking forward to catching you at Tritone! And organissimo will be there later that week! When it rains, it pours.

My 7/24 order shipped today. Only Dolphy's "Outward Bound" and "Five Spot" were no-shows. Everything else shipped, including the Coltrane and Evans boxes and "Ugetsu". So it appears that even though some larger orders like mine are taking longer to fill, they are attempting to give earlier orders preference on low-stock CDs.

Well, all my bitching and moaning and whining and groaning notwithstanding , I received notice that my 7/24 order shipped today, and that everything shipped except for 2 Dolphy CDs. That means I got both the Coltrane AND the Evans boxes! I take back everything bad I said about Concord. Well, almost everything--it still took a hell of a long time (and there's still that 7/29 order).

When are those? I'd definitely like to see both.

It's now official: Wednesday, October 4, 2006 at Chris' Jazz Cafe: organissimo!!! So to recap, organissimo in Philly: 10/4/06 Chris' Jazz Cafe 10/12/06 Tritone 1/19/07 Art After Five, Philadelphia Art Museum Stay tuned--hopefully more to follow.

It's not on my European set, and I know there were others who said the same of their sets.

To my ears, early '90's Fantasy CDs generally sound pretty damn great.

My Coltrane box is . . . well . . . ummmm . . . .

OK, time for Ron S. to call Jackson on Monday! Damn straight! My order #6100 was placed on July 24th! (Ooops, I'm on the road on Monday with the family. No calls to Jackson. )

Check out Wes' "Complete Live in Paris" on Definitive. 2 discs of terrific live Wes, including some tracks with Johnny Griffin.

Sounds good to me!

Well, we're back to organissimo gig (singular) in October, for the moment. It turns out that the Blues Alley gig on October 11th was firmed up a few hours before I set up the Chris' gig, but somebody apparently forgot to tell me about it. However, I may be able to reschedule Chris' for October 4th, and I'm still working on other possibilities for October (and January). I'll keep you posted. For the moment, though, the firm organissimo Philly dates are October 12th at Tritone, and January 19th at Art After Five.

This is probably one of the European sets that aren't directly from Mosaic, and aren't numbered. Still a good deal though! And still a Mosaic.

I see in another thread that Lon's 7/23 order shipped today. Our Man Jackson told me this afternoon that there were a ton or orders on 7/24, and a bunch more on 7/25. So, I'm presuming, this may be where we start to see lots more titles disappear. (Not to cause a panic or anything. )

Reminds of the old Gershwin lyric: "They say that Connnn-cord ships, But not for meeeeee."
