Count me in... The only time I buy their stuff is when I'm sure (as sure as possible) that what I want is OOP in the original format/label... :unsure:

SF Jazz Collective Live 2010 - Discs 1 & 2.... Celebrating the music of Horace Silver... :party: :party:

It really is a great read. One of the very interesting parts is the juxtaposition of Ellington and the mainstream civil rights movement. I think he (Cohen) handles this part very well. After reading it I became particularly interested in the political role Ellington chose to play in WWII (vis-a-vis) the Treasury Shows...

I thought it was considered the first of the "soul-jazz" songs (before they termed it as such).... Whatever it is called... Damn good song!

The interesting thing for me.. I was kept putting off buying this one due to its relatively inexpensiveness and the fact that it was released two years ago. I don't recall a Mosaic selling this quickly... :unsure: So I'm very glad I got off the fence... :cool:

I usually don't get into this kind of stuff... but I just received my set.. and it's numbered 4243 of 5000! This is a relatively new set...2008! I have no basis for this but this seems to be selling VERY well... So if you're on the fence... :unsure: :unsure: Grab it while you can.. I think this one is clearly going to sell out soon... I'm a happy puppy....

I'm listening to this now... I'm thoroughly digging it... :excited: :excited: Have to say.. not sure how Disc 2 plays out.. but as of right now.. this one's making my Top 10 of 2010...!!!! :excl: :excl:

I had the pleasure of seeing perform live Elvin 4 or 5 times... A gentleman who always had a great band! He is sorely missed.

Congratulations Man... Must have been a great day!

I completely concur.. One of my top 3 or 5....

The thing I like about these Storyville sets is like the Tatum,Duke and Webster boxes... A) they are relatively inexpensive (circa 60-80$ or so). B) they tend to have a lot of live dates C) a lot of the material is European dates which often only show up here (US) as expensive imports. I don't like the packaging... but it's often a lot of good, OOP music that's hard to get for a great price...Given the lack of specifics on the Wilson I don't know how much of this will apply...

Just up! http://www.storyvillerecords.com/Default.aspx I've got no Wilson... What say you vets???? Is this likely to be a good one????? :unsure: :unsure:

One of the things I find so obnoxious about discussions about Wynton is that there's WAY too many dismissive opinions... It's just not worth trying to have a rational conversation.

I'm not sure I agree with Phil Woods.... and obviously I could live without the shots @ the Marsalises' Let me ask a simple question... If they had named the Jones' family (e.g., Elvin, Thad and Hank) posthumously would those of you who are against be as upset????? <_< I don't think a "bad precedent" has been set... There have numerous great jazz families....

That's right.. thanks I forgot... It is frustrating though that there's no KIND of friggin' communication that these things are coming out on mp3.. :angry: You would think (given how much they all want our $$$) that there would be somebody who'd ask (pay) Mosaic for a list of their customers so they could send us some promotional emails or something.... (Not that I want more email... :wacko: :wacko: ) My basic point is that there is CLEARLY a market (namely us) for this stuff... Seems like a half-assed effort to just throw them out there an have us go find them... What am I?? A dog after a bone???? :beee:

This is very odd... but the album info makes NO reference to Mosaic :unsure:

I had a few individual discs and realized quickly that all the CDs are quickly becoming OOP... So I caved and bought the set... EXCELLENT!!! Worked for me... :blush2: :blush2:

I ordered this a LONG time ago since I only had the original release (no alternates or bonus cuts). They did this kind of packaging with Brubeck's Time Out. I liked this new one.. I think it was down to $19.99 at amazon a few days ago...

I have (although it's been a few years..). I like his music a lot and his live performances do have a hip trane like aspect to it... Although I would definitely NOT put it in the muzak category.... :blink: He's headed back over here in late January and I'll be going... IMHO there's a serenity in his playing (live and on record)... that I don't find in most performers....

i haven't looked at Safari but I tried Opera, Google Chrome and a few other browsers.. and I keep coming back to Firefox....

Nice!! :party: :party: Thank you so much..I've still got my order on amazon... It's a little bit cheaper but they made me wait until late Sept./early Oct... :angry:

You might want to take a look over here..... http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/mahavishnu-orchestra/ and welcome!

I came across this on jazzloft's site... https://www.jazzloft.com/p-52626-trio-x-live-on-tour-2008-ltd-edition-box.aspx I wasn't that familiar with him an did some snooping around... :unsure: I found Trio X's website which had some download-able mp3s... I liked it... :w I'm thinking about getting the boxed set (since it's at a good price..) Would this be a good introduction??? Might be a poor analogy but he kinda reminds me a little of a stripped down David Murray.... :huh:
