It's now July 14, 12:00 AM over here, so happy birthday and many happy returns!

Yes, David, thank you. As you probably know Mosaic's overseas shipping rates are very high; my "all-in European price" is lower, so this might be of interest to European members - that's why I posted it here.

Thanks Flurin!

I'm also selling my Horace Parlan Mosaic for the same reason.

Already had the TOCJs, got the Select, don't want dupes anymore, prefer the TOCJs, got rid of the Select

The CD is gone.

Thanks for the info, Hans! I assume that disc was filled with the session that is part of the Select? Or with at least those three cuts Lion/Cuscuna had plans on releasing? ← The latter - the other three tracks on Easy Living, with Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone and Bennie Green on trombone, are: See See Rider Congo Lament Que's Pill

Got your e-mail, Flurin, thanks. The Quebec quartet-only tracks were issued on Easy Living, Blue Note ST-84103/Toshiba TOCJ-4103; recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's Studio on January 20, 1962 personnel: Ike Quebec - tenor saxophone Sonny Clark - piano Milt Hinton - bass Art Blakey - drums Tracks: I've Got a Crush on You Nancy Easy Living

Listening to my Sony CFD-6 boom box right now...

To my ears, yesterday, what you describe was a good thing! In a way, this disc reminds me of an old-fashioned blowing / cutting session: a big group of horn players all trying to out-blow each other on consecutive solos. This album is sort of the european free improv version of Johnny Griffin's A Blowing Session. Definitely not what I always what I want to hear but, when I am in the mood for it, it really hits the spot. ← Same here; Tony's comment sounded like a positive review to me... ← Except for the thumbs down comment, I guess John's comment pretty much described how I used to feel about most of Brötzmann's albums, but they're increasingly boring me now and they'll probably end up in my sale thread elsewhere on this board...

I had this set back in my vinyl days, and as far as I can remember it's not bad. I'd get it if I were you, especially if you can get it at a good price. ← Errr... No guarantees, of course

You've described exactly how I'm feeling about most of Brötzmann's outings nowadays... Thank you!

That has become very evident from your posts...

I don't copy mine. I'm selling CDs because I don't want them anymore.

I'm selling this 24-bit remastered Japanese Toshiba "Super Bit Jazz Classics" mini-LP CD from my own collection: SOLD Chet Baker & Crew - Pacific Jazz/Toshiba TOCJ-9316 (with obi) - $14 Condition: near mint. Shipping by priority mail, - in Europe: $3.50 - outside Europe: $6 registered priority mail is extra. Payment, - in the Netherlands: bank transfer in euros - in the euro zone: electronic BIC/IBAN bank transfer in euros or PayPal - outside the euro zone: PayPal only. PM me if interested.

I agree that the sound on this Mosaic could have been tamed a little, though to my ears the overall mastering is good. On the other hand, taming Stitt's sometimes piercing sound might not have done it justice; I don't know, I've never heard him live either.

What Ray said.

Of course, I'd never sell the Philo if I didn't have the Elektra reissue with both albums.

From the Pink Floyd thread: What else would you call this? ← You beat me to it. ← Rather than hitting up a pimp here to supply a whore, he's asking which whore to spend time with at someone else's bordello. Oh wait, we were talking ponies... ← Tasteless. I'm out of here.

Well, I should have expressed myself more clearly - the last point you're making is exactly what I meant.

Could it be because it's about boots, i.e. illegal recordings? ← Are we going to ban discussion of illegal recordings? ← I don't see why discussions of illegal recordings should be treated differently than discussions of CDRs on Org.
