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.

Me too, just now. I paid dearly for it, but it's worth it! Now onto Shank/Cooper, Slack, Richards, Pepper and Dexter!

I have noticed that the magnificent, Penguin-crowned All That is Tied has fallen out of print. There are a couple more "affordable" copies on Amazon, so I might suggest picking this up quickly if you haven't already. I can't imagine you'd regret it

Is that an original album or a compilation?

From the never-ending well of Concord cutouts ... Listening to the Bean right now. Great!

That's the one. There is one decently priced Bluebird edition on Ebay, but there is a sticker on the back of the digipack. I'll probably just have to let that slide ...

The OOP Bluebird edition of this goes for big bucks, but this Euro version is available on the cheap. Any reason why I shouldn't spring for this much cheaper edition? An Amazon review suggests problems, but that's just one person, so I don't know how much stock I should put into that.

Nice. I grabbed a pristine Liberty Natural Essence on Ebay recently for an un-contested 6 bucks.

Ran Blake, too.

Cecil Taylor - Love For Sale CD, $4.50 sealed on Amazon. Just goes to show that it pays to obsessively search for 'wishlist' items on a weekly basis. This disc has just about fallen off the face of the earth as of late.

I grabbed the Hill and Mulligan. The others will have to wait for now ...
