The Bennik/Doran/Anderson and One Great Day are out. I stumbled on this bit from a Ken Peplowski blindfold test that's got me very excited to hear the Carter-Bradford that will be out in the next batch:

Geez, they need to stop! I'll never catch up ...

Verve indeed. I handled a copy once (didn't buy it-- stupid) and I remember it being thick, glossy and gatefold, very Impulse!

Huh, I did not realize that. Very Impulse!-like in appearance.

Oliver Nelson Full Nelson/Sound Pieces would have been cool. The 70s Marion Browns? A couple of the later Keith Jarretts? Sam Rivers? Max Roach? Dewey Redman? Many missed opportunities here, seems to me.

Much talk about the Quinchette session these last couple days, so: Disc 3.

When it comes to Cecil, what is "open" anyways?. But I don't think it's any secret or speculative in any way. I did not know about Fats Navarro. That's interesting. There is also Chris Connor.

Cecil Taylor, of course.

PM on Argharta & Pangea.

My absolute #1 pet peeve is that disjunction between pictures on the album jacket and the time period represented on the record. Seems like this was almost exclusively perpetrated during the 1970s (i.e. Miles Davis Prestige two-fers).

No, the only one of theirs not to.

Miles' best!

Very cool!

Agreed ... just not how I would do it. I will, however, get the Elvin Jones.

Disc 3, Tal For the rarity of the material as well as its incredible quality, surely this is among the most indispensable Mosaics.

Sold.

Bump. I'm open to trade for any big box I don't already have.

Looking to trade this for another Mosaic. Like I said, all sealed (by outer box) & in mint condition. I am interested in the following sets which I feel would make for a fair trade: HRS Sessions Tristano/Konitz/Marsh Buck Clayton Gene Krupa/Harry James Condon Mob Roy Eldridge Buddy DeFranco/Sonny Clark Classic Capitol Jazz (a tad uneven, I know, but maybe you just really don't care for it) PM me if you're interested or have another suggestion-- I'm fairly open.

Disc 4, Death & the Flower.

Strange, I just scored a sealed copy of #163 The Complete Capitol Studio Recordings of Stan Kenton 1943-47 through Amazon for $71.99.

Planning on it later this month or the next.

A used Plugged Nickel is available on Amazon for $65

I live for those people who don't know better, or at least don't care. But yes, you really do have to be quick.

Gah! I have to, just have to. *covers eyes, turns head, clicks 'place your order'*

I think half the problem is finding a copy. Some of those Hats can be ludicrously scarce, like the Jimmy Lyons titles. I guess the few who have them, keep them. edit: I mean Riffs and Push/Pull. I know Jump Up is more easily located.
