J.A.W.

Done. Good luck!

Nothing. I e-mailed him privately twice a few weeks ago; as I posted above the first time I got an automated reply that he was on holiday, and he didn't reply to the second e-mail. I now really feel duped.

A Japanese 3-disc set? Mine was a Japanese 2CD Contemporary/Victor set with the three albums. I sold it a few years ago.

Another bad day for music...

No problems here (same PC).

"Finally"? Contemporary/Victor Japan reissued these recordings on a 2CD-set years ago. I wonder whose mastering was "borrowed" by Definitive this time; that Japanese Contemporary/Victor set comes to mind... By the way, this was a studio date, not a concert.

Judging by your previous post it's already gone there...

Is there a list of all August special offers? From a recent Mosaic e-mail: AUGUST PROMOTION- 12 MOSAIC SELECTS & 6 MOSAIC SINGLES ON SALE TAKE A SECOND LOOK AND DISCOVER SOME TREASURES With the amount of music available, it can be difficult to find the time to uncover hidden gems. We've issued over 25 Mosaic Selects and 15 Mosaic Singles over the past few years and there are some treasures that we want to make sure hits your radar screen. These are wonderful artist collections that may not have gotten the attention they deserve and to induce a closer look we are placing some of these items on sale through the end of August. Full Length Audio Clips - For many of these sets we have obtained the rights to offer full length audio clips that are available on the website. TWELVE MOSAIC SELECTS ON SALE THROUGH AUGUST Regularly $44; On Sale in August for $39! Mosaic Select: Bennie Green (MS-003) In 1958, Bennie Green signed with Blue Note and made three impressive albums, Back On The Scene, Soul Stirrin' and Walkin' & Talkin'. On Soul Stirrin', the trombonist made his masterpiece with Gene Ammons, Billy Root, Sonny Clark, Ike Isaacs and Elvin Jones. Mosaic Select: Paul Chambers (MS-005) Beautiful tone, fluid technique and a magnificent sense of swing Mosaic Select: John Patton (MS-006) Explosive & In The Groove. With guitarist Grant Green and drummer Ben Dixon, he formed Blue Note's funkiest house rhythm section. Mosaic Select: Curtis Amy (MS-007) The bluesy drive of a great Texas tenor. Curtis Amy had a beautiful sound and a style that was both muscular and lyrical. Mosaic Select: Shank/Cooper (MS-010) Bud Shank and Bob Cooper, like their inspirations Charlie Parker and Lucky Thompson respectively, play with passion and a natural sense of swing, regardless of setting or material. Mosaic Select: Dizzy Reece (MS-011) What emanates from Dizzy Reece's trumpet is a big, brash sound that seems to come from turn-of-the-century New Orleans; yet his solos dance with delightful, modern melodic strains. Mosaic Select: Liebman/Beirach (MS-012) Coming of age in the late '60s, saxophonist David Liebman and pianist Richie Beirach are virtuosos on their instruments. It has enabled them to take the lessons that they learned well from Miles and Trane and create exciting, often tumultuous jazz of the highest creative order. Mosaic Select Andrew Hill (MS-016) On the five sessions in this set, his palette moves from trio to quartet with string quartet to sextets. Their common denominator is Andrew's brilliant improvisations and unique compositions. Mosaic Select: Johnny Richards (MS-017) Powerful brass lines, intricate reed passages and well-placed dissonance. Mosaic Select: Freddie Slack (MS-018) The boogie woogie craze made Freddie Slack a star but his little big band offered a range of music from boogie and blues to swing and ballads. Mosaic Select: The Pacific Jazz Piano Trios (MS-019) Four creative forces. This set reinstates a number of important piano recordings by Richard Twardzik, Russ Freeman, Jimmy Rowles and Clare Fischer made for Pacific Jazz and Liberty. Mosaic Select: Charles Tolliver (MS-020) A quartet with a big sound and bold ideas. SIX MOSAIC SINGLES ON SALE THROUGH AUGUST Regularly $15; On Sale in August for $13! Bud Feeman - Chicago/Austin High School Jazz in Hi-Fi (MCD-1002) Bud Freeman and Jack Teagarden on top of their game. Al Cohn - The Brothers (MCD-1003) Intensity with a low flame and high heat. This was the first and only meeting by this tenor triumvirate and their improvisations are meticulously driven by a rhythm section headed by Hank Jones. Art Blakey - Hard Bop (MCD-1005) Beyond Blakey's always magnificent and contoured drumming, this quintet's strongest asset was the beautiful, tart blend of Jackie McLean's alto sax and Bill Hardman's trumpet. Slide Hampton - Drum Suite (MCD-1007) A Max Roach showcase including guest artists Freddie Hubbard, Yusef Lateef and Tommy Flanagan. Lee Wiley - West of the Moon (MCD-1008) Wrap yourself in the warmth and sensual delivery of Lee Wiley. WEBSITE REGISTRATION We have added a new feature to our website.

I'd rather not comment on those organ sessions...

Any chance that It's A Beautiful Day also got some relief in that judgement? If you're referring to It's a Beautiful Day's self-titled album, that one was reissued on CD in 2001. It's still available from Amazon.com and other stores.

The latter, as far as I know.

Thanks Guy, I appreciate it! By the way, I'm now only looking for Vols.3/4 (1930-1934).

Hans -- Isn't all this stuff on the Ellington Complete RCA box? It is, but I'm not too happy with the sound on the box and I'm thinking of selling it.

I like Moby Grape and Moby Grape'69 very much, but I don't care for the others. I hope the remastered sound will be OK.

I'm still looking for this set: The Indispensable Duke Ellington Vols.3/4: 1930-1934 - RCA/Jazz Tribune No.28 I can only pay by credit-card-funded PayPal. Please PM me if you're selling it or know where I can get it. Thanks.

One of the all-time great film makers.

Nobody?

That listing was also cancelled by eBay.

Even if you don't like 1950s Hank Mobley, the Mobley Mosaic is essential

Auctions like this are cancelled by eBay when they notice them, but many slip through the quite wide eBay cracks...

Malcolm Addey did the mastering.
