Honestly, he was not much in focus for myself, but I will now re-check out the recordings I have. Sam Rivers: Dimensions And Extensions Sam Rivers: Lazuli Julian Priester/Sam Rivers: Hints On Lights And Shadow Andrew Hill: Mosaic Select Dave Holland Quartet: Conference Of The Birds Bobby Hutcherson: Dialogue Tony Williams: Life Time Larry Young: Into Somethin' Miles In Tokyo Just listening to his 'Lazuli' album recorded in 1989 (Timeless), the sleeve notes of this as well as those of 'Dimensions & Extensions' have the (wrong) date of birth as September 25, 1930.

Since you couldn't keep this for yourself, I had to order the Pacific Trios and the Brookmeyer - you're ruining me, but I really wanted these. And I still want the H.R.S. box .... arghh! I ordered the suddenly deleted sets from amazon.de marketplaces last week (except for the Pullen which I already own). The Gordon order has already been cancelled. Tried another seller. Still waiting for confirmation. Got a shipping notification for the Brookmeyer, Slack and Pepper sets (Hooray!!). On the one hand, I'm hoping all sets will arrive. On the other hand this would ruin me... I also was one of the 'Last Chance/Running Low' buyers in the past. But with that amount of money going at one time (if I'm successful), I can not afford changing the strategy in the near future. Hoping there will not be more 'Last Chance' sets for the rest of the year (at least).

after posting this yesterday I dropped Mosaic an email bemoaning their loss and asking in vain if there was a Patton set kicking about. I wondered if in the chaos, underestimates of stock held might have occurred. Well amazingly I got a reply this evening , Cindy had a copy of the Patton select for me :excited: .... enough said, I am amazed to have been so lucky. No harm in asking. Perhaps, that was 'my copy'... After reading the Mosaic newsletter 2 days too late, I ordered three Selects on Friday including the Patton which was still on the Last Chance list. Got a confirmation mail with all detail directly after my order. Yet no shipping notification arrived. Yesterday I asked about my order. Today, I got the reply: 'We have received all of your information. However, your order is blank.' Arrggghh!!!

A book about Warhol album covers that has pictures? Unbelievable...

Die Opa Hirchleitner Story is available from Bear Family Records. This release also includes the music from the LP 'Rhein-Main-Jump' and the EP 'A Ball With Al', all recorded in 1958.

I asked Mike about the downtime. There will be an update to a new version of vbulletin tomorrow. Also moving the site to a new server. Whatever the reason was, the forums will probably be back soon.

Think it's his birthday today (according to his old AAJ entry). So, many happy returns!
