I really feel for all of you, especially in the states, UK & Europe. We've been so lucky here in Australia, only 97 fatalities (6950 total positives COVID) from a population of 25 million. Just under a third have been from those dreaded cruise ships. We (and New Zealand) closed ourselves off from the rest of the world reasonably early on. Here in the state of Queensland (just over 5 million) where I live (Brisbane) there have only been 4 fatalities so far. Minimal pressure on our hospitals ATS & things are starting to open up again, at different stages in different states (New South Wales & Victoria are being more cautious as they have higher numbers of cases & had a more significant death rate. Hoping with all the upcoming relaxation we don't get a massive rebound second wave. It's been an absolute massive hit to our economy (hospitality, tourism, international students - mainly from China - third most important contributor to our GDP), unemployment for May/June will jump to 10% Stay safe in these uncertain/unknown times

I upgraded my early "Live in Japan" CD issues (two x2 CD sets) in 2011 with the 5CD Live In Japan SHM set (has an extra CD of interviews made in Japan at the time of the tour) https://www.discogs.com/John-Coltrane-Live-In-Japan/release/9469589

Will add this to my meagre jazz graphic novel collection

or Frank Zappa in 63 (maybe a bit late?)

No not yet, part of an email I received from Dark Tree recently - looking forward to this - already have one track (I think) on the CD that came with one of Steven's previous publications on Horace

RIP Lee - will miss you & your magic alto but your music will live on I was lucky enough to see Lee perform in September of 2017 at Kitano's (NYC) see pic - had a fantastic up front table Also saw him in the audience scatting along to the Barry Harris Trio at the Village Vanguard a few nights later Magic times in NYC

Yes, I noticed this a few weeks back - n'existe pas!!

if you meant the Basie/Young set, it's 25 titles (some alts there)

wondering if the version of "Eternal Egypt Suite" on the CD that came with the Uni Of California book "The Dark Tree" - track actually titled "Eternal Egypt Suite, Part 4 & over 17 mins duration" is from this/these session(s). Recording date listed as January 24, 1976 but no location details given (cept LA). Musicians listed below (this CD is listed in the Lord Discography) Steve Smith (tp) Lester Robertson (tb) Wendell C. Williams (fhr) Red Callender (tu) Aubrey Hart (pic) Adele Sebastian (fl) Jesse Sharps (sop) Gary Bias, Michael Session (as) Fuasi Abdul-Khaliq, Charles Chandler (ts) Horace Tapscott, Linda Hill (p) David Bryant, Marcus McLaurine (b) Ricky Simmons (d) Moises Obligacion (cga)

"According to the liner notes of Mosaic MR4-111, MD3-111 [CD], "Reincarnation of a lovebird" breaks down after 9 minutes (faded on releases) and another take was not tried. However, subsequent releases on Candid and Music Club give take numbers 1 or 4 but they are all the same take." Above is an extract from Lord Discography (online) - all so called three takes from October 20 are the same track ie there is only one version

yes please!!

$1048 / 100 = $10.48 = now that's a fair price!!

RIP David Some great Australian bands that were part of the "Paisley Underground" though it wasn't called that here at the time - I suppose its a retrospective term? I bought the Mazzy Star LP "She Hangs Brightly" when it was first released in 1990 - still play it - wonderful piece of work Never got to see David here in Australia but I did manage a Hope Sandoval solo performance a few years back

and don't forget the ICP Orchestra May 1984 recordings, originally released on cassette (Extension Red, White & Blue, ICP 025)

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!!
