Angel is EMI's North American classical imprint. EMI asked president of Cetra-Soria Records Dario Soria in the early 1950s to start a North American outlet for the recordings of its subsidiary, the Columbia Gramophone Company, usually known as English Columbia. Angel was launched in September 1953.

...or they've all gone belly-up Can't happen. I don't have my Stanley Turrentine box ordered yet. You've got a point there.

...or they've all gone belly-up

Yep, but you have to get permission from the local authorities, as it might interfere with a national holiday.

In Europe you're allowed one extra birthday in a leap year.

Accoring to Werner Uehlinger Hat Hut won't be able to (re)issue any other Revelation albums.

Hans, have you heard Vintage Duets? - Fred Anderson / Steve McCall duo recording on Okka - there MCCall is perfectly complimetary to Anderson's playing. Nope, I've never heard it; thanks for the recommendation. Have you heard Marilyn Crispell's Destiny on Okkadisk, with Anderson and Drake?

I just realized I probably should have posted this on April 2... It's no joke!

Hat Hut's Werner Uehlinger just told me he hopes to reissue Warne Marsh's Ne Plus Ultra on his hatOLOGY label early 2005. It's already been remastered and he's waiting for new liner notes.

Listening to this one again: The music is indeed terrific, but I still think Drake is a bit too loud in the mix at times.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed with this one. Hamid Drake is a bit too prominent in my opinion. Is such a thing possible?!? To my ears, yes, it is... I think he more or less drowns Fred Anderson out at times.

My condolences to you and your family.

As I posted elsewhere on the board, I was a little disappointed with this one: Hamid Drake is a bit too prominent in my opinion.

Isn't this the one that was re-released on hatOLOGY? No, none of his 9Winds albums was reissued on hat. I have these Richard Grossman CDs: Trio in Real Time - 9Winds NWCD-0134 Recorded at McCabe's, Santa Monica, CA on October 1, 1989, at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Santa Monica, CA on December 2, 1989 and at Beyond Baroque, Venice, CA on January 13, 1990 Personnel: Richard Grossman - piano Ken Filiano - bass Alex Cline - percussion Tracks: Unusual Hats Our Lizard Skin Shooting Stars and Flying Saucers Silk the Colors of Water Fanfare of Indigo Teeth in a Knapsack In the Air - 9Winds NWCD-0146 Recorded at McCabe's, Santa Monica, CA on October 1, 1989 and at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Santa Monica, CA on December 2, 1989 Personnel: John Carter - clarinet Vinny Golia - bass clarinet, sopranino saxophone, soprano saxophone Richard Grossman - piano Ken Filiano - bass Alex Cline - percussion Tracks: Extra Hands A Hard Act to Follow Everything Else Is Away Henny Youngman's Bird Imitation Even Your Ears - hatOLOGY 515 Recorded at Beyond Baroque, Venice, CA on January 13, 1990 and at Harbor College, Harbor City, CA on March 27, 1992 Personnel: Richard Grossman - piano Ken Filiano - bass Alex Cline - percussion Tracks: Fresh Vegetables Even Your Ears Stickiest Day of the Year The Switchbacks at Big Sur Rubidoux Twilight Tomorrow's a National Holiday Where the Sky Ended - hatOLOGY 541 (the tracks marked * were previously issued on Magnatone 512) Recorded at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Santa Monica, CA on December 2, 1989 and November 29, 1990, and at Harbor College, Harvor City, CA on March 27, 1992 Personnel: Richard Grossman - piano Ken Filiano - bass Alex Cline - drums Tracks: *Afternoon Full of Hummingbirds This End of America *Green of the East *Where the Sky Ended *Like Godzilla Moon, Tap-Dancing Outside I got the two 9Winds CDs from The Music Resource.

This: is an amazing album! Wonderful.

Another older album I dug up: Hadn't listened to it for quite a while, and I was pleasantly surprised.

I thought everything's "frozen" once a bid has been placed, but apparently some things can be changed according to eBay rules: If your item has already received a bid/purchase or ends within 12 hours, you can only: Add to the item description (Exception: If your listing already has a bid/purchase AND ends within 12 hours, you can't add to your description or add a second category) Add optional seller features to increase your item's visibility. I don't think it's OK to raise shipping rates like this seller apparently did, so I'd report it to eBay if I were you - for what it's worth...

I wonder what they'll make of that at Augusta... I guess we'll know next week

Well, it sure isn't me. Well, then it must be Chaney, who obviously took time off from posting especialy to concentrate on searching for Rara Avis I may be wrong, but he certainly didn't give me that impression...

Well, it sure isn't me.

As well... so Reinier, and i will take your word, on a scale of say one to ten how much better is the VeeJay set of Shorter/Morgan than the old (and illegal) Blue Moons?? The question wasn't addressed to me, but from what I've heard, I'd say night and day. The Mosaic sets were remastered by Malcolm Addey, and that says it all in my opinion.

No need to get upset, I'm occasionally asking Mosaic questions and this happened to be one of them. Hm, I wonder why I'm defending myself here - there's no need for that either...

...and I just got an e-mail from Mosaic confirming what Reinier said.
