I heard from a reliable source that their European distributor recently went belly up owing the label a large amount of money. Whether they can survive this setback remains to be seen.

I'm somewhat amused, happily, that there is excitement about this set, and that Mosaic considers this music worthy of reissue. At the time these records came out, nobody bought them, and they were considered stiffs (from a sales standpoint) at the time. I know, I'm a dealer, and they did not sell! I saw the group live around 1992, and they burned! The "Live in Tokyo" (which apparently is not included) is probably the best thing this group released. Anyway, I'm glad that a new generation of listeners is getting achance to hear this music which was largely ignored at the time. I don't recall any electronic drums - I guess I'll have to go back and listen again.

I read the Ralph Berton book years ago. Although it was titled "Remembering Bix" ( I think), it was more about Ralph than Bix.

As long as the music is worth hearing, I don't think it matters what the source is.

I don't claim to be an authority on Kansas City cuisine, but as a lover of good BBQ, I looked forward to checking out the famous Arthur Bryant's when heading to KC about 20 years ago. When I got there, I was told by a number of the locals that Bryant's was strictly for the toursits, and that Gates was the real deal. We opted for Gates, and I will say that it ranked among the best BBQ I'd ever had. Recently I was given a bottle of Gates' sauce, and when it's gone, I plan to order more on line.
