The Bill Barron is a no-brainer Warne Marsh - anything! private tapes, full session recordings, unreleased live recordings. I'm sure there's an angle here in the vein of the recent Tristano set New Orleans Modern Jazz - something along the lines of a full reissue of the 1976 Opus box set New Orleans Heritage - Jazz: 1956-1966 (which features Ellis Marsalis/American Jazz Quintette recordings along with some others) expanded with contemporaneous and relevant music. This is maybe a little outside the scope of what Mosaic does, but I think there's some great potential Always thought Mosaic could do something more with some of the newer BN material a la the Don Pullen and Tony Williams Selects. I think a box of Jason Moran's BN sessions would be great. In that vein a box of Geri Allen's Minor Music dates, possibly incorporating the Somethin' Else/BN material as well, would be really strong.

One I just heard of recently and really enjoyed is Harry Allen’s Christmas In Swingtime from 2001. With Jake Hanna, Peter Bernstein, and Larry Goldings on organ. A hip and swinging group playing the classics in a succinct, tasteful way.

Long since. Completely different operation for all intents & purposes.

Amazing news.

Best part is this is basically what most of them are like in the first place!

N&OG is one of those records I enjoy returning to every couple years to see how it sounds to me then .... I've never been able to really crack it personally.

I will take this off your hands, PM incoming.

Yes, a nicely done real CD with an outer slipcase

CadNor used to stock the CD, unfortunately they are sold out. But they do still have copies of the equally great Live In Europe album from the same period with a similar lineup: https://cadnor.com/products/charles-tyler-live-in-europe-bleuregard-1960?_pos=1&_sid=deb0b71a2&_ss=r

Probably my favorite piece in the set.

Agree, fantastic record.

Helsinki 1962 also appeared on this companion to the 1961 Chante du Monde box: https://www.discogs.com/master/1475755-John-Coltrane-European-Tour-1962

Well what I mostly mean by that is he's pretty much just following what Cuscuna prepared for CD release in the 80s-2000s, including many of the unreleased sessions he got into the world and stuff he put out through Mosaic. Both instances also include music from other labels under the EMI ownership umbrella like the Amy and Marable titles above.

Agreed all counts.

I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like they are continuing the Revisited series (and frankly the last many, many entries have been total bullshit). And after getting a start with Cecil/Braxton/Lacy/Ran Blake with "First Visit" it also seems like they are also just going to be releasing new sessions under this banner. but I'd love to see any of those you listed come out!

Good stuff as always, but as always I already have the CDs. On the one hand, Was is just taking all of Cuscuna's work and restamping it. On the other hand he's smart enough to know that he should just take all of Cuscuna's work and restamp it.

In a later edition there's a short forward by Chambers explaining the whole thing.

Haven't read the Carr, but I do like Jack Chambers' bio quite a bit. It does however have a bit of the opposite problem wherein Chambers is unrelentingly critical of the music, not unlike Gunther Schuller in his early jazz and swing books. You'll learn just about everything you need to know about Miles' day to day but come away with the conclusion he only recorded a small handful of truly successful pieces. That said, an interesting perspective that's worth hearing out.

Will definitely pick this up. Hopefully we can get a reissue of Opus Krampus soon!

Ordered mine the other day, really looking forward to this one

Time will tell I suppose, but the label seems to be headed in a fairly wan direction now. I'll certainly keep my eye out, but it's been quite awhile since they've released much of interest to me at least.

Sold
