A Profile of Gerry Mulligan (UCCM-9123) has these tracks: Makin' Whoopee (4:03) Demanton (5:38) Duke Ellington Medley (4:27) Westward Walk (4:22) La plus que lente (3:26) Blues (8:18) Mainstream of Jazz (UCCM-9094) has these tracks: Elevation Mainstream Ain't It the Truth Igloo Blue at the Roots Lollypop

Forgot the Play It Now session; added it to my list. The Coral date is a good one.

A few of my Cohn favorites: Play It Now - Xanadu (1975 recordings with Barry Harris on piano, Larry Ridley on bass, and Alan Dawson on drums) Al Cohn's America - Xanadu (1976 recordings with Barry Harris on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Leroy Wiliams on drums) Heavy Love - Xanadu (1977 duets with Jimmy Rowles on piano) No Problem - Xanadu (1979 recordings with Barry Harris on piano, Steve Gilmore on bass, and Walter Bolden on drums). Non Pareil - Concord (1981 recordings with Lou Levy on piano, Monte Budwig on bass, and Jake Hanna on drums) You might also want to check out Cohn's 1950s albums on RCA, in Basie-like settings: half of East Coast-West Coast Scene (1954 big-band recordings) Mr Music (1954 big-band recordings) The Natural Seven (1955 septet recordings) Four Brass, One Tenor (1955 nonet / septet recordings) The Brothers (1955 septet recordings) I'm not too fond of his two-tenor recordings with Zoot Sims, so I will not comment on those.

By the way, I also picked up two 2002 Japanese Mulligan Mercury / EmArcy reissues, A Profile of Gerry Mulligan (Universal UCCM-9123) and Mainstream of Jazz (Universal UCCM-9094).

I did, and I love 'em! (Vol.1: Toshiba TOCJ-9487; Vol.2 : Toshiba TOCJ-9488)

Happy birthday.

...And he clearly doesn't have hearing problems

I have both the Mosaic and the SBJC, and I prefer the former. Addey's a sound wizard! He must be a music lover

The Japanese reissue is an SBJC McMaster remaster. The Mosaic was remastered by Malcolm Addey.

Happy belated birthday.

Jazzshrink is right, the only way to get Little Niles as a single CD is to go for the Japanese reissue. It’s not available anywhere else (apart from the Mosaic, of course)

Why don't you ask Hiroshi? I don't think we can answer that - though I can only speak for myself, of course

I sent Japanese cash by registered letter in similar cases and never had a problem.

He's the only one who can answer that question...

Why don't you ask Hiroshi Tanno to act as a middleman and get them for you? He'll probably charge you a fee, but it might be the only way to get them - unless a board member living in Japan is willing to oblige, of course.

Just been listening to Deals, Ideas, and Ideals and, apart from some caveman growling on track 7 (), it's a great album. Thanks for the recommendation!

Question is, will you be happy in a new house without (many of) your CDs?

...and many happy returns!

Seconded!

I hope everything's OK. Would love to see you back here! All the best.

Great pioneer, great label, and another sad loss.

Never heard of him; is he selling on eBay?

I always get the feeling they're using tourist rates, which are not very favorable for their customers, no matter if you're paying or getting money...

It'll probably on pre-order price until the end of this week.
