Here's the explanation about Purdie from Wikipedia: In 1961 he moved to New York and played session with Mickey and Sylvia and regularly visited the Turf Club on 50th and Broadway in New York, where musicians, agents and promoters met and touted for business. It was during this period that he played for the saxophonist Buddy Lucas, who nicknamed him Mississippi Bigfoot. Eventually Barney Richmond contracted him to play session work.[5]. In the same year original Beatles drummer Pete Best and guitarist Tony Sheridan recorded tracks in Hamburg with the Beatles. Later Bernard Purdie added drum overdubs to tracks from these sessions,[8] including "Ain't She Sweet", "Take Out Some Insurance on Me Baby" and "Sweet Georgia Brown".[9] The main reason for this was to give them a punchier sound for the US market. These tracks were eventually released on January 31, 1964 by Polydor.[10] Ringo Starr's physical approach to drumming was probably influenced by Purdie's Motown style.[11] You should know better than to use Wikipedia to back up your claims or to disprove someone else's!

Miles stuff always was and will be an asset to them. It's pretty simple if you think about it. They are actually using smart business sense by making that asset last as long as possible. They do not want to saturate the market with Miles issues at any one time. I suspect that there will be new stuff released long after all of us are dead and gone. Btw, fewer people than you think are fully equipped to download, and many do not ever want to go that route.

I believe Richard Seidel (formerly in charge of jazz reissues from the Verve family of labels) is overseeing the Miles treasure trove now.

free jazz album i got, is this a good one?

Hence my use of the term "poseur". -

Didn't think you'd dare venture into the big, BAD city! -

I think you're reading too much into some of the comments in this thread. If you're feeling guilt, then you've got other issues to deal with. -

You guys definitely like to hold onto a word or phrase, don't you? Btw, you wouldn't know where to find it. -

What is the point as you see it? Bear in mind that comments made on the 'net are consistently misinterpreted. -

I will not name names! One in particular, though, is a living legend. -

As Pink Floyd once said: "I don't need no education"! Yeah, ok, that's why musicians say Murray sucks --- because they want more money for themselves. Ever hear of David S. Ware? Plays rings around Mr. Murray, and doesn't need nearly as many albums to prove it. -
I'm old enough to recognize misuse of the English language.

Sam Rivers Mosaic this November

As I mentioned, many of the musicians (several of whom were known and well-respected) thought very little of Mr. Murray's playing. Btw, J&R used to be (ans still may be) the place to be in NYC for buying jazz. Many of "those in the know" bought their stuff there. -

Still a ridiculous clip! At any rate, he was (and still is) considered a poseur by the jazz cognescenti I used to hang with at J&R. Many of these were musicians, btw. -

Ok, I'll be the dissenting opinion. It was always difficult to take Murray seriously as he was putting out about an album every 2 weeks. -
You only accept what is presented if you buy it. Nobody is forcing anybody to buy this. This is not against the spirit of free market capitalism. In all fairness, Sony did allow people to vote on what they'd like to see reissued. What other company has done that?
-
Not trolling. I believe I've made some valid points. If you can't live with the state of the music industry as it is today, find something else to collect. The record companies are not in business to lose money. I think you know that. Consumers of ANYTHING have no God-given right to receive everything they want.

That is just plain nonsense. We're making it quite clear that there is interest in the bonus material, just not when we're forced to play an additional $100 for stuff that we already have or just don't want. Why exactly you fail to see that part of the equation I don't quite get, but then your comments here haven't been "constructive" in any way to start with (if there's one thing that never helps on a forum, it's people bitching about too much bitching). And Sony people scanning the web for reactions to their recent press release are quite likely to read this thread. I see all aspects of this issue. We as music lovers want it all, and we want it all cheap. I get that. But, and this is what you're not getting, Sony owes us nothing. Grow up! They could stop pressing Miles reissues and still fare quite well, believe me. So either we accept what they offer, and buy it. Or NOT. Complaining, bitching, moaning and acting in a melodramatic fashion will not change their minds whether they scan the web or not. You have email addresses to send your complaints directly to them.

ouch! same here... but at least we now know we're drama queens Ha ha ha ha ha. Joke as you may, my point is that if I posted everytime I DO NOT buy something, I'd have about 9 billion posts. Either keep the complaints to yourselves, or direct them in a constructive manner to Sony or reps of the Miles Davis estate. There is nothing constructive about complaining about what you're not getting in this setting. I was always under the impression that a forum like this is meant for discussing purchases that you feel worthy of wider exploration. I guess this means you'll never view the DVD!

As far as the sound goes, if there are other options, seek those. Otherwise, the Collectables will do.

I've had Japanese pressed cd copies of this and Air Song since 2002.

That is very cool. The rain must have been a bummer, though. Congrats on your son's graduation. Are you enjoying my city?

Ahmad Jamal and Carter/Bradford Mosaics can be pre-ordered
JETman replied to J.A.W.'s topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Yeah, that is a little odd considering the new price for big boxes is $17 per disc. I wonder if they are experimenting a little bit to see what happens when giving customers a break around the shipping threshold of $150. Total cost with shipping is $159, whereas if it were priced normally at $153 it would be $165. This explanation actually makes sense. I hadn't thought of it. Thanx. -
way to be openminded! what does Haden have to do with "cordonaa" anyway?

Does anyone else find it odd that the price of the 9 cd Jamal set is $149?
