I enjoy them both, the Ware maybe moreso.

Jackie McLean - Hipnosis, the earlier session.

Thanks to board member king ubu!

Sorry, no Richard Davis or Paul Chambers on your poll.

Man, yeah. What a front line this would have made ca. 1957. Just Miles, Gerry, Red, PC and PJJ.

Keeping the theme going ...

Verve Japan. CT side.

My copy is similarly worn. This series of twofers didn't wear well over the years. I don't recall seeing many in better shape than this. The music though!

Fats Waller - Piano Solos 1929-1941 Bluebird 2LP Count Basie Presents...Eddie Davis Trio + Joe Newman Routlette LP Monk - Underground CBS Jazz Masterpieces LP Jimmy Giuffre 3/Mabel Mercer - Travelin' Light/Merely Marvelous Horace Silver - Silver's Blue

Monk w/ Johnny Griffin - "Rhythm-a-Ning" at the Five Spot. The only other Griff/Monk I'd heard up to this point was the Blakey album. This was a revelation.

Exciting. Any word on a release for the upcoming Selects?

Bass On Top is sold.

All discs are in fine shape and have only been played a few times at most. All prices include shipping. PayPal is preferred. PM me if you're interested. Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers - A Night At Birdland, Vol. 1 (RVG) $6 SOLDPaul Chambers - Bass on Top (RVG) $6SOLD John Patton - Along Came John (McMaster) $7 Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker - Reunion (EMI Manhattan) $6* Paul Bley - Solo In Mondsee (BMG Issue) $4 Louis Armstrong - The Hot Fives, Volume 1 (1988 Columbia) $3 Louis Armstrong - The Hot Fives & Hot Sevens, Volume II (1988 Columbia) $3 (Both Louis for $5) Various - The Jones Boys (Thad, Reginald, Quincy, Jimmy, Jo and Eddie ... Period/OJC LE, sealed, sawcut) $7 *in the interest of full, full disclosure the Mulligan/Baker disc is a Jazz Heritage Society Issue. However, aside from a JHS catalogue number on the spine there is NO difference between this and the normal issue as there sometimes is with the JHS. No photocopy-quality booklet, no JHS-stamped disc-- everything is just as with the EMI pressing.

Well, true. Added!

In a perfect world there would be a box containing Mal 1-4 and Impressions.

Nope and nope. Ron Carter's Where? was, though.

Yeah, seems like a missed opportunity there but I think that would have pushed it into double-disc territory.

Hipnosis was recorded in 1967, so it falls outside the scope of the 1964-66 McLean Mosaic. It appears on the Grachan Moncur III Select, however.

Definitely a fluke-- and an odd one. I don't recall ever seeing it go for under $200. It's certainly a wonderful set to have, but I compiled it with the individual issues for about $50.

Anthony Braxton - Trio & Duet Side A once, Side B three times.

Doesn't get any better than that! I am listening to Andrew Hill - Mosaic Select 16 - Disc 1

Ha! Turn your back for a second ...

Big haul killing time in another town, waiting for the wife: Some 7.99 titles at Barnes & Noble: Miles Davis - On the Corner Miles Davis - Ascenceur Pour L'Echafaud Preservation Hall Jazz Band - New Orleans Vol. 1 Django Reinhardt - Djangology 49 Oscar Peterson Trio - Stratford Shakespearean Festival At Half Price Books: George Cables - Cables Vision Tony Fruschella - Tony's Blues (Complete Session) Billie Holiday - Complete American Decca Recordings Modern Jazz Quartet - Pyramid Louis Smith - Here Comes Louis Smith Some cassettes for the car: Columbia and Atlantic Jazz samplers, Benny Goodman Yale Archives 1 and Miles' Porgy and the crown find of the day ... David S. Ware Quartet - Godspelized (DIW) for 5.98. The temptation to turn it around is there, but I have to hang on to it.

Yeah...that was me.

I know that, but I'll pay. I'll get them one by one, by and by. I am committed.
