If he can get postal money orders in Italy, that is. As far as I know you can't get them here in the Netherlands.

It often goes for around the $800 mark in the CD format so this is about the right ball-park, I guess..

I don't know what the Basie Studio Mosaic CD-sets usually go for, but isn't this a bit extreme??

Paging porcy62!

Mosaic's Scott Wenzel just told me the Art Pepper and Andrew Hill Selects and the Columbia Small Group Swing and Basie sets have all been/will be remastered by MALCOLM ADDEY!

I'm working on it...

Yes, beautifully done, Jim. Assh*le Hmm, on other boards the moderators would have banned you already

I second that.

I just got this new releases e-mail from Mosaic: January 2005 Columbia Small Group Swing Sessions (1953-1962) (8 CDs) # 228 - $136 Selected sessions on the Columbia and Epic labels featuring leaders Ruby Braff (w/ Pee Wee Russell), Buck Clayton, Marlowe Morris, Kenny Burrell, Herb Ellis, Illinois Jacquet, Coleman Hawkins with Clark Terry and Ben Webster with Sweets Edison. February/March 2005 Mosaic Select: Art Pepper (MS-015) (3 CDs) $39 This set contains all of four sessions that this master alto saxophonist made for Aladdin in 1956 & 57 with Jack Sheldon, Russ Freeman, Jimmy Rowles and Carl Perkins among the sidemen. A Pacific Jazz session by Bill Perkins and Pepper is also included. All the material has been newly transferred from the original analog tapes in 24-bit for greatly improved sound. Mosaic Select: Andrew Hill (MS-016) (3 CDs) $39 Only six of the 31 selections on this set have been previously released. This Select gathers the remaining five Blue Note sessions by the innovative pianist/composer that were wholly or partially unissued. Settings vary from trio to septet to quartet with string quartet. Sidmen include Robin Kenyatta, Sam Rivers, Carlos Garnet, Bennie Maupin, Woody Shaw and Charles Tolliver. Miles Davis: The Complete 1963-64 Columbia Recordings (10 LPs) #226 - $180 The complete Seven Steps To Heaven sessions plus great live recordings that document the move from George Coleman to Sam Rivers and finally Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone. April 2005 The Complete Clef, Mercury and Verve Studio Recordings of Count Basie and his Orchestra (1952-1957). (8 CDs) #229 - $136 Includes Basie's "New Testament" band that featured Frank Wess, Frank Foster, Benny Powell and Thad Jones with arrangements by Ernie Wilkins and Neal Hefti. Covers the hit albums "April and Paris" and "Count Basie Swings, Joe Williams Sings" as well as the 1956 Metronome All Star album with Ella Fitzgerald.

Those remaining Bethlehem TOCJs are highly recommended!

Excellent sale, and I second Ubu's Teddy Edwards recommendation - grab it before it's too late!

He was.

Don't we all... B-)

Happy birthday, Theo!

All the best in your new job, Paul.

Here's a thread about Hiroshi Tanno.

Universal's reissue of this album is long overdue.

Unless you're on a Stitt binge, you'd better listen to it in small doses. Having said that, I'd definitely recommend this worthwhile set.

Or for $10.49 from CDUniverse.

...And so did Brownie

Chuck beat me to it

I agree with Chuck, this set isn't worth that much.

Another store that doesn't ship outside the United States...

It was one of his better decisions not to post here.
