Personally I like Wendell Pierce for this part, but whatever. I'd say there's about a 500 to 1 chance this movie gets made anyways and I'm sure we'll be all the better for it.
As far as your question about price, for some reason or another this, along with the Maynard Ferguson, is one of the most competitive Mosaics on Ebay. For a CD version you're looking at $175-250 easy, between $200-300+ for the LP.
My understanding with School Days is that Hat acquired the rights and put out their editions in 1992 and 2003. Nearly a decade passed and Davidson came under the impression that the rights were up for grabs again, so he pressed his edition on CD last year. He quickly learned that Hat still held the rights and was planning to repress it again and so withdrew the disc. But I do think it was pressed-- anybody have one?
Hm, only 3 new titles announced this quarter:
Jimmy Lyons/Sunny Murray Trio JUMP UP
Marco Von Orrelli 6 CLOSE TIES ON HIDDEN LANES
Eskelin/LiebmanMarino/Black NON SEQUITORS
Nice to see the Lyons but still still still waiting on a few that have been dangled before us for years.
I was wondering if there were any other jazz releases from the late 80s A&M series that included the Roach/Gillespie - Paris 1989, Cecil Taylor - In Florescence and Don Cherry - Art Deco albums? All three are fantastic so I'm hoping there's more.
You can buy the majority of her material in 3 or 4 sets:

While the Columbia set does run 10 discs, it is among the greatest of all jazz box sets and for $25 it's a no-brainer.
Master Take editions are available for all but the Decca. There's also this monster which pulls most of this together in master takes:

Start with the Columbia, but get them all!
Saw/heard Doug and Duke in Copenhagen in 1980.
Must be a good memory. Listening to his first recording, he played very well at 21 years of age. I haven't kept up with his recent playing. Perhaps I should do so.
Spitting image of his dad.
GEORGE E LEWIS above all else.
Second on MRA, Hemphill, Bang & Lowe.
Would also like to see Ran Blake, Andrew Cyrille, more David Murray, John Lindberg, Dave Douglas, and Hamiet Bluiett.
