Anybody have the lowdown on this yet? It's no longer listed as an import at CDU. It would be really crappy of Verve/Universal to include the Jerome Kern Songbook cd in this after releasing it separately the week before.

I believe I read somewhere that they've used the Mark Wilder 20 bit remastering from the 3 cd box set. I thought that mastering was really good, would certainly not be looking to pay for just a remaster. I agree, that's why picking this up would be re-re-redundant for many

No problem. It could be me, but this copy sounded much better than the copy with the error, soundwise.

Yes and Yes. I have a 1991 Strata-East/Bellaphon CD of it. It's magnificent, as is all of the Tolliver from that period. Thanks, John. I have it on hold at Dusty G, but would be less likely to plunk down $30 for it if someone came out and said it sucked. I also have the Stata-East disc and concur with felser's opinion. Late to the party, but had to say that the Tolliver date (a.k.a. "Compassion") really is spectacular, and a rare "trumpet, guitar, bass, drums" quartet, with none other than Nathen Page on guitar (an obscure, but I think WAY underappreciated player -- and yes, his first name really is spelled "Nathen" with an 'e'). If I didn't already have the '91 Strata-East/Bellaphon CD, I'd buy this (even at $30) without a second thought. Thanks, I already did. I wholeheartedly concur with what you've stated.

I received my replacement from True Blue yesterday. The error has been corrected. Buy at will

Believe it or not, J & R in New York has loads of pull with distributors! That's probably the reason why they were (and maybe still are) the best brick and mortar in NY as far as price and selection goes.

I suggest that you email Mosaic, and ask them how to go about getting a corrected copy. Don't have the CD; I was just asking for others' benefit. Then by all means, feel free to do something for the benefit of others.

According to Scott Wenzel, the "One Step Beyond" error has been corrected. However, he does not know how widely the corrected disc has been distributed at this time.

I've been a Mosaic customer since 1993. The sets I regret missing most are the Shorty Rogers, the DeFranco/Clark, the Quebec/Hardee, the Edmond Hall, et. al., and the Mingus Candid. So I guess these 5 are my wish list.

I agree. This is certainly amongst the most satisfying Evans there is. I too reach for this more often than any of his earlier period work.

Actually, Live at the Lighthouse has Steve Grossman, not George Coleman.

However, this reissue of the Desmond/Mulligan will have the original title and cover art? Does anyone know how the Quincy Jones and Count Basie are? And I don't think the OP has been out on cd before either.

Thanks. I'll pass!

Plus Wes Montgomery's "Down Here on the Ground".

No expectations. But when you've got arguably two of the best, most consummate musicians in the same band......well, you can't help but expect virtual greatness. I will say that Corea has had somewhat of a resurgence in the last 5 years or so, and is on fire and at the top of his game.

A little time and air have completely changed my mind on this recording. I'm currently diggin' the hell out of it!!!

Agreed, but it is surely worth the $8 it costs to purchase new from Amazon (US) Marketplace. I purchased all of these Great Jazz Trio albums back in 2000 from Red Trumpet (remember them?) well before they came out domestically here in the states, and spent a pretty penny on them. AND was glad to do so. Now they can all be had for a song and a dance. So much so that it really isn't worth arguing about. ALL of the albums are worth a few bucks and several listens. Just one man's opinion.

From Dusty Groove: Horace Tapscott -- Lighthouse 79 -- Vol 1 (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Nimbus, 1979. New Copy .... $11.99 A lost treasure from pianist Horace Tapscott -- material recorded live at the legendary Lighthouse club, done with a very hip group of players from the Nimbus Records scene! The tracks are quite long throughout -- and often start with Tapscott musing into the groove with solo piano, soon joined by group members who include Reggie Bullen on trumpet, Gary Bias on alto sax, Roberto Miranda and David Bryant on bass, and George Goldsmith on drums. Tapscott's piano has plenty of sharp edges throughout, but these introductory moments also show his more contemplative side as well -- making the long tracks a wonderfully rich portrait of his musical talents. Titles include "Acirfa", "Dem Folks", "I Remember Clifford", "Leland's Song", and a shorter take on "Acirfa". I have it. It's worth picking up if you like Tapscott.

According to my info from someone at Mosaic, it is in the process of being fixed. Just a little more time.

I just want to know: How damn much are these boxed sets?! Smells an awful lot like 500 bucks (for the two) to me!

If I'm reading this correctly, we'll also get the mono mixes where applicable. So does this put the whole "we're still only getting the stereo mixes" complaint to bed?
