listening to the latest Jazz In Britain full download ie The second Ray Russell release ie Live Vol. 2: 1970 - Forget To Remember (Sextet this time) Recorded for the BBC (London) in Jan 1970 & broadcast (4 titles) soon after. This is wonderful stuff - fantastic SQ & the playing is superb from a lineup including Harry Beckett, Nick Evans, Tony Roberts, Daryl Runswick, Alan Rushton The download/CD has significantly more material than the LP - again, I've burn't my download to a CDr (AIFF files) for better sound This £24 yearly subscription with a year of downloads of any new releases plus 4 previous releases is a no brainer IMHO Have looked into getting some of the LPs but once shipping costs to Australia are added, i'll be paying approx $75Aus per LP - not worth it IMHO plus the downloads/CDs often have more recorded material than the LPs

Second the Open Door, Rockland Palace. The Tristano/Parker material is also a favourite

Updated release date (received email today) now May 21st - another 2 months!!

I've been buying the Lord CDs since 2005 but switched to subscription in early 2018. Agreed, there are many errors - I've been contributing with corrections & new release/update details etc for the past 10 years. Still find it a very useful source. It's a massive piece of work IMHO.

I can't seem to find on the JIB site where this is mentioned - the primary Bandcamp page lists Moholo

Downloaded the Garrick/Harriott from JIB last night - needs two CDs - what a stellar lineup - looks like this University College (London) concert was just after the recording of "Black Marigolds" - titles from this LP & the earlier "Promises" make up most of the repertoire. Really enjoying the Ray Russell, Vol. 1 (includes early Dave Holland) Just downloaded the Mike Osborne & Friends (bandcamp download only & name your price) - again, 2 CDs worth. It's a live recording from The Peanuts Club, London - another stunning lineup - Beckett/Charig/Dean/Osborne/Skidmore/Miller/Moholo

nice!!

I subscribed to JIB a couple of days ago (really pissed that I missed the Harriott/Garrick LP releases) £24 for a year subscription - you get 4 older downloads (no choice here but I did manage to score the Harriott release) then all the new releases (from the date of subscription) for the next year - I'm downloading as AIFF files so I can burn my own CDs Great deal IMHO - I'll just keep doing that but also buy the occasional LP or CD

got my email from Dark Tree this morning been buying directly from them since the Bradford/Carter release - no extra costs re shipping to Australia

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.
