romualdo

would love some of the Savory Tristano material to be eventually released - some nice material there - I listened to a portion of it at the Harlem Jazz Museum when I was in the states in 2017

Australia ? here's hoping - his orchestra did play here a few years back

Wow!! born in 1954 He became William Shatner's Music Director, arranging songs like "Rocket Man" - what a version!!

I was thinking down the line of "Kick The Can" but that didn't make sense

such a pity they couldn't obtain those four extra tracks from the same sessions & add them to this definitive release I've had to suffice with that 1990 Columbia CD - actually the only source I think (2 of the 4 were on the LP version)

The 2008 version remastered by Bernie Grundman using the original 1969 analog master (Zappa Records ZR 3841 - official release #8)

Currently listening to the CD box set - spectacular SQ - The live Ronnie Scott discs are almost like being in the club - definitely my fav release of 2019. Also, I've got your book out again Simon & re-reading bits of it. Looks like some of the recording dates have been reassessed & changed.

Update on my July post - finally received a copy of the Tolliver CD (Christmas present with the Teddy Wilson box) - love my Christmas Mosaic surprises!! Interesting that the CD is still not available anywhere (AFAIK) except from the Mosaic site - appears to be a sole Mosaic release (CD) but absolutely no info on the CD or slick to that effect (i know this was discussed earlier last year). Also, the CD version is not even listed in Discogs.

17 Basie, 7 Joe Sullivan, 2 Stuff Smith, 4 Mildred Bailey & 1 Fats Waller title(s) in Mosaic set but not in downloads Also one Benny Carter (More Than You Know) plus one Fats Waller (I've Got A Pocketful Of Dreams) titles are longer in the Mosaic set - have been edited in the download versions.

Thanks again for your initial tip Joachim - may do more orders through them - no GST charge either!!

Just got notification from JPC (German vendor) that my Hayes box set was shipped today (for Australia)

just tried to preorder this from Australia & get this message (see below) - even though it states on the page that this item can be delivered to Australia Of course the new-ish Australian Amazon site does not list it at all. So it looks like people in the states can order via the UK Amazon site? What gives?? We are unable to ship non-digital items from amazon.co.uk to Australian shipping addresses. Please choose a shipping address that is not in Australia to proceed. Some restrictions may still apply depending on the item.

That's exactly what I did but was unable to make comparisons with the Mosaic set (didn't have it) then upgraded to the Japanese SHM-CD's - all the titles from the Mosaic set have been SHM'd.

RIP Nick one of my fav reads of his which I picked up back in the early 90s (seems like yesterday) is "Unsung Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll"

Tommy, sent you a request for three Fresh Sound Twofers for Australia - Horn, Moer & Hampton Any comments on the Paul Moer set from our members - that tribute to Elmo Hope he did in 1991 looks very interesting Want the Hampton set for all of the previously unreleased live Birdland material Cheers Stephen

They sold truckloads of those digipaks here in Australia at the time, many ending up on the throwout/el cheapo tables - must have been a dumping ground down here

will stick with my 20bit K2s what about the Riverside "CB introduces Johnny Pace"

& a Velvet Underground one too!!

has anyone mentioned Nathan Davis?

Here's the first three Bourbon St sessions from Lord (online) - having to do small bits at a time as it's a bit tricky trying to get the files under 100KB next 3 last 3

The online Lord Discography has all the session info for the Mosaic release (269) already up there - Wow!! that was fast - and it hasn't even been released yet

Received the French CBS 4LP box set yesterday - picked it up for a song (only bidder on Ebay - the shipping cost more, though not much - pretty good for 4LP box set from UK to Australia) Spent the day digitalising it - 73 tracks (3hrs, 23 mins) - fits nicely onto 3 CDrs - there are 9 alternate takes (not on Classics CDs) plus 1 alternate version (may be on Classics?) SQ is very nice (to my ears) - IMHO this set is up there with the Mosaic Decca set though the booklet is nowhere as detailed/informative

wow!!!!! what a lineup - somewhere in Europe I presume

The CD version still not showing up on import CDs (only vinyl at this stage!!) I'll probably add my copy to the upcoming Mobley Mosaic - that will absorb the shipping cost (if it doesnt take it into a higher category) Shipping costs to the US & UK from Australia are also abysmal - still reasonable to/from europe

many thanks down here (Australia) too - 4 sets made their way safely to our shores
