Hey Ron.. You getting Bing?? I'm more interested than before.. but I'm waiting for you to jump in first... :rolleyes:

what's the layout like? Cheap booklet? No booklet???

Have the ever released a set before with the 20,000 copy license??? I'm thinking no... :unsure: Sounds like Mosaic is betting the house !!

I agree but 7 Cds of Bing is a LOT of Bing....

Up on the Mosaic site.. Sounds a LOT better than I anticipated... !! http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=245-MD-CD

Got a "dispatching" notice for amazon.co.uk.... I went ahead and cancelled my other order... 11-12 hours of Billie for $3 a CD from a reputable company????? What the hell is going on.... :o :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hey Ron.. thanks for the tip.. I just ordered mine.. Let us know when you get yours.. Why do you think the US amazon cancelled the orders??? Or about $32.40 at today's exchange rate PLUS delivery to the US (for some of us ). Makes the Amazon UK deal even sweeter.

Good man!

thanks Ron....

all listed on either Hip-O-Select or Verve... Anybody know anything about the label or these sets??? :unsure: :unsure: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8020414 http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8020358 http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8020346

I would definitely encourage you to check out his quintet stuff... For example I bought the download only 12 set DD Quintet Live at the Jazz Standard.. and it was excellent... I think you might like some of his stuff...

I tend to zero in on his quintet records... I didn't know what to expect on this one... but really like it....

it's him with HDR Bigband... Outstanding...!!!! One of his best... I bought it from his website... and although it's not out for a few weeks... they sent me the download version... Very nice... check it out... http://www.greenleafmusic.com/store/productdetail.php?p=147

Okay Good.. :cool: What's friggin' amazing (or depressing depending on your POV)... is this same set went for what? $200 when it came out? Somehow I don't think Billie's voice got any worse in the last few years... I don't know if this is the plan.. to reissue these prized/large boxed sets for chump change :wacko: :wacko: ... but I'll take it... :tup

Okay so this is NOT a Membran/Definitive knock-off???? :unsure: I picked up the Artie Shaw Membran and the sound (and the lack of liner notes) sucked....

What I don't get is why they are calling it an import??? :unsure:

The Lionel Hampton is a must have!... I'd move that one up on the list.... :excited:

I emailed her and got a really nice email back... Apparently she had been there 15 years... !! Totally first class!!!!

I'm totally with you on that one... :rolleyes:

that sucks for us... You were in the words of my 4 year old - AWESOME Cindy... Good luck and thanks for the amazing work....

David Murray is about as far out as I can go... (who I do like quite a bit BTW....) Could've guessed that based on your avatar.

I respect anyone who's into it... but Henry Threadgill & Bing ain't happening for me..... <_<

I'm going to have to snap this one up... Hope the price holds for a little while.... thanks for the heads up!!!!

I have to say I have (and like) both of those sets... I would suspect the license on the Smith is going to expire soon....

I'm going to take this as a POSITIVE sign... that the tapes still exist... Wenzel will FIND them and sometime in 2010 we'll be ordering this 9-CD set... :rolleyes: I hope you're kidding ... I wish I were! Talked to Wenzel this morning. No news. See also Ghost of Miles' message here (end of second paragraph). By the way, as far as I know no one has said that the Jamal tapes were destroyed, they are just difficult to locate.
