    You're in an enviable position. I think this is some of the best Pepper on record. Make sure to brew up your favorite coffee (or pour your favorite red) when the package arrives ... you're in for a treat! This is early, excellent pre-Contemporary Art Pepper, but to be honest I prefer his subsequent Contemporary recordings, which in my opinion constitute his best work. The Pepper Select is a must, though. Highly recommended.

    Exactly my point.

    I have many of these recordings on two Japanese Toshiba "Super Bit Jazz Classics" mini-LP CDs, The Art of Pepper (TOCJ-9311) and Modern Art (TOCJ-9407), which were remastered by Ron McMaster. I'm guessing that, for economic reasons, Mosaic decided to use those remasters after all, rather than have Malcolm Addey remaster the recordings again. But would that be consistent with the following statement from the Mosaic web site? "For each of these exceptional sessions, we have returned to the original master tapes and remastered them in 24-bit with greatly improved results from all previous issues. " [bold added] The McMaster remasters I'm referring to are also in 24-bit, and were done in 2002. But you're right, my guess doesn't seem to be consistent with that statement...

    I prefer the Steve Hoffman DCC remasters of Miles' Steamin', Cookin', Workin', Relaxin' and Miles/The New Miles Davis Quintet albums to the Japanese K2 versions. The music comes much more to life than on any other CD reissues of those LPs.

    RainyDay, I believe -- but she hasn't been around in quite some time. So maybe no longer single??? RainyDay hasn't posted here since November 4 last year, but she's posting quite a bit over on JazzCorner.

    To my ears a lot is in the RED zone again these days.

    Good point.

    What about the gravity? Doesn't it bother you?

    I had the same problem, and I did bite. I sold and am still selling my Donaldson TOCJs (I've got one left). Did the same with the Byrd/Adams and Mobley Mosaics and TOCJs.

    uncalled for, IMO. An absolutely disgusting remark indeed.

    Happy birthday.

    Warm Woods is indeed one of Phil Woods' better sessions, it's one of the few Woods albums I really like.

    Any news, Jim?

    The link isn't working. I get an error message that there's a bug in my Mozilla browser. Weird, since I'm using IE6...

    Scams like this one have been going on for years now. You can report them to eBay, PayPal's parent company, by forwarding the e-mails to spoof@ebay.com

    Yup, TOCJ-9XXXs are definitely not TOCJs, if you get my drift.
  23. J.A.W.
    I fully agree with Claude, the Select sounds awful compared to the TOCJ.
