Not that old cliché again... Not a cliche for me.YMMV. OK. I guess too many Americans have asked me if we're all still wearing wooden shoes. It's a persistent fairytale. Seriously? Seriously.

And the great 1959, 1961 and 1963-1965 recordings with Paul Desmond on Warner Bros. and RCA, and his Pacific Jazz dates, Jazz Guitar and Good Friday Blues - The Modest Jazz Trio. Forgot Desmond. Have edited post. He not only recorded with Desmond in the period you mentioned, but also after 1962. I know. I've got the discs!

Very sorry to hear this. A great musician.

I don't intend to re-post my list, so that thread can be deleted as far as I'm concerned. It's good stuff, just didn't seem to need to be pinned. If you want it pinned, it's OK by me. That's not the point. My Blues/R&B list the thread was about was removed for several reasons, so there no longer was a topic; that's why I said it could be deleted.

Yanow was here for a minute and I think he felt insulted when I said he was a "reliable generalist". I wish he'd stayed around. He has interesting things to say about recordings for multiple decades. I think that description is quite accurate and not at all demeaning. In fact, it's a nice compliment. Agreed.

It's been released by a European public-domain label. It looks like a bootleg; discussion on the Hoffman board: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/john-coltrane-traneing-in-boxed-set-december-2013.336329/

In another thread member erwbol wasn't so enthusiastic about the sound on these Atlantic reissues - and that's putting it mildly.

If I remember correctly Mosaic didn't do a Keynote box because of licensing problems - something that doesn't bother Fresh Sound Absolutely.....and I wonder where Fresh Sound will have sourced their music and what the quality will be like. If it's like most of their releases it will be a mixture of lossless, mp3 and needle drops. I was wondering about that too.

Here's the draw:

The mouse that roared! No need to insult people, freelancer.

Yes, that is possible. I don't know whether it is due to not speaking a shared language or dialect though, but who knows? I still believe what I said was correct, even when something might be official, it needn't be looked at that way in the general opinion. I didn't even stated that it was that. I just said "not every one..." and that was just what it was. This said however, I am really sorry if I did offend someone with my comment since I didn't mean it in any negative way; but if it was felt as such I do want to apologize for that. Friesland is a beautiful part of the Netherlands. My family has lived there for some time too, so I know some. Well, Frisian is a language because it has a grammar and a syntax, not because I say so. But what I was referring to was your post about the Netherlands having been a kingdom for 200 years this year, which is not quite correct - see my post #76 earlier in this thread. I find it annoying when people post incorrect information; the internet is full of it. My post wasn't aimed at you personally.

A great man.

Of all the labels mentioned the only one that really "went under" was Riverside, not long after co-founder Bill Grauer died in December 1963.

As was mentioned before, the material is owned by the Sun Entertainment Corporation. Is Sun Entertainment Corp still owned by Shelby Singleton? MG Singleton died in 2009. http://www.sunrecords.com/news/shelby-singleton-jr

...sniff....

The only thing I have problems with is information that is not quite correct (see my post #76), no matter who posted it.

Chuck is right. Many EU public-domain releases are distributed by U.S. companies (and carried by stores like Amazon) although the releases are not legit in the United States.
