I was so lucky to see him, here in Boston. Today's Boston Globe has a good obit on him. I agree with the many good things said. When I saw him he was probably in his 70s and still dressed better than most of us. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/12/metro/roy-haynes-sublime-inventive-jazz-drummer-dies-99/

I wasn't planning on getting this but I listened to it on Apple Music and was so impressed. I'm not a big fan of duets but they pulled this one off IMHO. https://daveholland.bandcamp.com/album/united

Just got my copy today. I'm looking forward to listening to it but I wish the packaging/presentation was better. The case seems quite flimsy. We're a long way away from the Seven Steps box... But... first world problems.

Okay, I have a question for the historians here or those who purchased the set. Who was Timme Rosenkrantz and why were so many of these sessions recorded at "his/her apartment?" I don't think I've ever seen that in a Mosaic set before, especially so many sessions. Okay, I read the Wikipedia entry. Was he the equivalent of Monk's Baroness Pannonica or more a Norman Granz or somewhere in between?

You are 1000%. It has gotten SO much better than years ago. I've got mine in the listening queue so hopefully, all of it will be online before I get to it.

Here's the official press release. This is a great trio. Looking forward to this one. https://storyvillerecords.com/product/jazz-club-montmartre-cph-1988/

I just got mine yesterday. Set 994. I'm impressed and happy if Mosaic has sold 1000 sets so quickly. I know we've talked about sets not necessarily going out in the number they are ordered, but if in fact, they've sold 1000 sets that's very good news.

I can't find a lot of info but I'm totally invested. https://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/album/michel-petrucciani/michel-petrucciani-trio-jazz-club-montmartre-cph-1988(live)

Sarah Hanahan - Among Giants... It's quite good.

I'll be more blunt... That's garbage. A) I don't want vinyl B) I don't want other artists playing Lee Morgan (in previously released stuff anyway) only to get C) an unreleased live set from Lee. Personally I love Lee (I have almost everything) and I hope this set bombs. I really hate this Blue Note series/sh*t.

I generally agree but one of the things that impressed me was the sound quality. I'm partial to these V-Discs because of the Nat Cole ones I've heard so I decided to grab this set. I'm also partial to get the other V-Disc sets when they come out.

I got the same thing. Wondering about the tracking email though....

It finally showed up on Importcds at $27.17... I was hoping for less but I'll grab it anyway.. https://www.importcds.com/forces-of-nature-live-at-slugs/602465975147

I'm so sorry. Are you going to evacuate? Or is that basically impossible at this point? Good luck and I'm sorry.

That's one of the many reasons that if I buy a CD, I buy it from Importcds. So many other websites (incl. Blue Note) are overcharging (in my opinion). I'll wait to order until it shows up there.

I'd love to see the setlist...

Do you have any ideas about who will be featured in the Vanguard sets and roughly how many CDs?

Wait so I'm confused... I thought the box they just announced was a small-group box?? There's a second?

I'm in the same boat. Well said.

Where's the info on that?

Thanks. I needed a good laugh as someone who's been here for 20 years, is almost 60, and is a "community regular." Sounds like they are preparing for me for the senior center.

I have it somewhere and never got around to reading it. Is it worth it? Hopefully it's less depressing than Art Pepper's book.

I have always struggled with how to balance an artist's contributions with the more "controversial" aspects of their lives. I was recently reading about the whole Steve Coleman sexual harassment mess and thinking about Chick's Scientology and Miles' abuse... and it's just complicated. I mean I know.... I read Straight Life and I know about Art's behavior... I got nothing new to add... just thinking about how (for me) it's a struggle ignoring stuff like that. More often than not, I do and just listen to the music - but it's a struggle.

Thanks... I find it impossible to keep track of how many ways they splice these up and resell them.
