romualdo

I was a sperm donor in the early to mid 80s & never thought there was any possibility of me meeting any DC offspring but to my surprise I've made contact with 10 (actually met 7) in the last 2 years. Interesting times...... it's the Fluoride

one of my Mosaics (Basie Roulette Live) booklet has no # only a radio station call sign - presume that was a promo

I digitalised the whole set when I initially purchased it second hand from a dealer in New Orleans (shipping to Australia was extortionate & the seller grossly underestimated the cost so I had to meet him half way) - then the Fresh Sound box emerged which I ended up getting too (that doesn't contain the many alternates though) - I was always hoping this would have become a Mosaic box (CD only)

the 5 Henderson & 2 Dorham (including all released alts, even the 2015 Mode....) takes about 317 mins - if 5 discs then each would be just over an hour - they have room to fit more but just over an hour seems par with many Mosaic CDs - the recent Mobley had most of the discs as just over an hour while a couple were close to max & the final one was only 43 mins (his last album for BN)

There are two versions released by Sam 1. the studio version with Nathan Davis & Woody Shaw (A Gaveau) - previously released 2. the live version recorded a month earlier without the above (live A Gaveau) - this has never been released before

RIP Chick saw him with Gary Burton here in Brisbane back in 2014 (seems like yesterday)

RIP Milford https://www.amazon.com/Milford-Graves-Full-Mantis/dp/B07NGRL22J have had it on my list to watch for a few months now

WTF!! this is hard to believe - Evan to me has had a very scientific/rational/empathetic approach to the world & music - he was originally going to study Botany at Birmingham Uni but a trip to NYC (to see Cecil Taylor) changed his whole outlook & veered toward free jazz/improv

Just been given a copy for Valentines Day 2021 - now that's true love!!

reviving this post as I've just sourced a Joe Harriott LP with a Manchester connection (no CD version) that I wasn't aware of ie Joe Harriott - "Journey: Free Trade Hall, Manchester 1963" (Moonlight Tunes MT 001) No other material released by this label There are minimal details on the cover - not sure how legit this is but the sound quality is astounding Three of the six concert titles are from his classic "Free Form" LP ie Coda, Calypso & Tempo. Also there is a seventh track "In A Sentimental Mood" by the Stan Tracy Big Brass with lovely JH solos, c 1969 - this sounds like a studio recording The Lord discography places it within the We Love You Madly sessions (20-21/8/68 - Columbia UK) as an alternate take. Wonder where that info came from. Does anyone know who is/was behind this (original tape & LP pressing) - it's so well recorded IMHO with quite a bit of JH announcements/dialogue

All fine, printed & into Mosaic box Thanks again

WTF!! That's a circuitous pathway - I used to wonder why the packages had Swedish (Sverige) stamping

many thanks - have just sent you a PM

I posted this in the "Mosaic Partials" section in "Offering & Looking For" 5 days ago but have got no response so i've decided to repost it here "Mosaic & Other Box Sets - I might be luckier here "Got out my Basie live Roulette (MD8-135) set out a couple of days ago for a spin & realised that the two small booklets for each jewel case (each holds 4 CDs) are identical ie I have two copies of Vols I-IV (have all discs I-VIII though). I can't believe I hadn't noticed this before but I generally use the large booklet for reference (tracks/discography) & not the small booklets. Anyway, I doubt anyone would have a spare copy of the booklet for discs V-VIII (btw, I've tried Scott at Mosaic & they don't have any) but a scan PDF file would be greatly appreciated from an owner of the set".

so it's a term of "endearment" rather than a reflection of a generally "shitty" service. I've been using them for a number of years now (since 2004) & they have been spot on. Not one complaint over those 17 years - they've always come through (new & second hand) plus their shipping charges to Australia (including LPs) are miles ahead of any other US dealers - I don't know how they do it. I actually visited the shop in Chicago when I travelled to the states in 2017 plus also went upstairs & met John Corbett at Corbett Vs Dempsey - even bought a stack of their CDs.

just fascinated to know why they are/have been called "The Bastards/Da Bastards "

It's all there (complete Strozier session) in the Chambers/Kelly Vee Jay Mosaic Box - includes two previously unreleased tracks - great music!! Lots of (original) "Jazz Patterns" records for sale online - asking price quite cheap (IMHO) considering the amazing lineup supporting Pat. Only thing holding me back is the extortionate shipping costs to Australia.

same as the ESP Disk release (LP & CD) - the 2014 ESP CD has three extra quartet tracks with Zoot Sims

I'm pretty sure I have all of Booker Little's (official) output, including sideman cept for a Pat Thomas Strand LP (Jazz Patterns) - wasn't aware of that one till & just checked the Lord Discography. Was released digitally by Fresh Sound (legit?). Have also attempted Wardell Gray but that's a significant ask

"Budism" is a 3 CD trio set on Steeplechase - some for sale on discogs, see link https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/10880621?ev=rb I havn't heard of "Budism Plus"

Just checked the Nimbus West site & it appears that both the new Tapscott (3LP) plus the Billie Harris (I Want Some Water LP) pre-orders have sold out!!

So did I & also received no flexi - purchased from Amazon (they refunded me & allowed me to keep the book) Apparently you will only get the flexi (with standard edn) or 7" (with the Deluxe edn) if you buy directly from Z2 comics - I've been in touch with them.

while we're on the topic of plosin, I checked the site recently but there appears to be no mention of the tracks that were on the flexidisc or 7" that came with the recent Charlie Parker graphic novel "Chasin' The Bird". I've still not found what tracks are present on these (I've heard they may be previously unreleased live JATP? recordings)
