    The excellent Horace Parlan Mosaic is running low. Get it while you can!

    Mine was the full shebang.. So was mine. Mine still is

    Mosaic's Scott Wenzel told me that, as things stand, the Braxton, Goodman and Akiyoshi/Tabackin sets will be up for pre-order at the end of September 2008.

    Why don't you call them: 203.327.7111 (9-5 EST Mon-Fri) or e-mail them at info@mosaicrecords.com ?

    I just noticed that he joined on March 8, 2005, posted 15 times and didn't come back here after March 9, 2005

    I've only listened to disc 1 so far and, considering the age of the recordings and the fact that some tracks were taken from 78s and LPs because there were no tape sources, to my ears it sounds pretty good. The tape transfers were done by Ellen Fitton, the disc transfers by Malcolm Addey, Dr Michael Arie and Mark Wilder and the set was mastered by Malcolm Addey.

    This new rule might have something to do with copyright.

    Same here

    I only have the domestic RVG of this title, and I've never cared for the mastering on it. I've been looking for a TOCJ of this for quite some time, not knowing if there ever was one to begin with. Does anyone know if this is a different mastering than the original TOCJ? At this price, I'm very tempted to just say "heck with it" and buy it anyway. Speak No Evil was released in the Toshiba "Blue Note Works" series on April 26, 1995: TOCJ-4194.

    It's not an "upgrade" to my ears, I prefer the 1980s CDs. However, the Mosaic's fine for someone who doesn't have those CDs.

    That thread was also started by tranemonk... Noticed that too. indeed...

    Why not ask Mosaic?

    Very true and annoying. I also find it annoying that some posters over there who picked up a few Hoffman-mastered jazz albums but never listened to jazz before, are talking as if they know all about it...

    Those two Jimmie Lunceford CDs are excellent. One of the great big bands of the 1930s. Highly recommended!

    By all means, don't make rash decisions. I don't think anybody in this thread has recommended doing so. My point was once you've made a decision to get a divorce, don't dawdle. Exactly; I totally agree.

    Good advice, and I'm speaking from personal experience - we weren't married, but my girlfriend and I "officially" lived together; once we had signed the separation papers and she had moved out, things improved fast. Take care.

    Be sure to get the 1991 8CD Atlantic box (the one you linked to), it has more tracks than the 7 individual CD volumes that were issued in the 1980s and it also has the correct takes instead of the wrong ones that were used on the 1980s discs. The sound is excellent; the remastering was done by Zal Schreiber and Steve Innocenzi. Highly recommended!

    I've relisted a few items. The auctions end Saturday 8/23.

    Montreux, not Montreaux.

    Simple explanation - it's a typo, they meant Oscar Peterson Plays....

    I'm looking for this CD (not a CD-R), but I'm not prepared to pay a very high price: Gerry Hemingway - Perfect World - Random Acoustics RA 019 PayPal is my only payment option. Please PM me if you're selling a copy or know where I can get one. Thanks.

    Less than a day to go

    Just heard on the news that Jerry Wexler died this morning. Another sad day for music.

    What I find very annoying is that some of those folks start acting like "jazz experts" on the Hoffman board once they've picked up a few of these reissues. They also keep calling jazz from the 1950s and 1960s "classic jazz"; they have no notion of what went on before the 1950s. I wonder if they really listen to the music

    Simple explanation: set #240 will be released later. As noted in a separate thread I started a while ago a few sets are still in preparation (Braxton, Goodman). Understood. But normally they're numbered in the order in which they're released. I guess #240 (Braxton or Goodman) was delayed beyond the originally anticipated release date. This has happened a few times before.
