I have all of the editions (1 to 9) with editions 1-2 covering LPs/cassettes, that's what the covers say but it's only the first edition that actually covers LPs. I bought each edition as it was released (cept for #3 which I only picked up recently) I'd recommend the first edition (easy to pick up second hand AFAIK) if it's only LP's you are after. Most of the LPs covered are from the 80's (ie material that was still available on LP by the early 90s) As the first edition was published in 1992, many of the jazz "classics" had already made to CD. As the editions progressed some material was deleted & new releases (plus reissues) were added so I find I use use all 9 volumes. IMHO the best jazz resources of the nineties & noughties - Cook & Morton had a sense of humour & it's reflected in their reviews.

I'll be in NYC for 10 days in September & I was really hoping to catch her but it doesn't look like she'll be playing live during that time (I even emailed her & she actually replied - seems like a genuinely nice person)

What a shock!! I wasn't expecting this Saw Gregg live a couple of years back at Blues & Roots Festival (Byron Bay) & I only just saw his son, Devon this year at the same festival You'll be greatly missed R.I.P. Gregory LeNoir

What about (not technically BN's?) 1. Fats Sadi (BN 10" 5061) was originally a Vogue 10" -> Japanese release? 2. Cool Britons (Aces Anonymous or Mike Nevard's Melody Maker All Stars)(BN 10" 5052) one title released on Avid CD 928 (Cleo Lane/John Dankworth). Lord Discog also mentions some of these titles were released on Atlantic LP 2 (no record of this LP in my searches) -> have the Japanese done this one?

as an aside, here's some trivia - WABCM changed their name to WPLJ in early 71 as a result of the FZ MOI track WPLJ (White Port And Lemon Juice) from their Burnt Weeny Sandwich LP (a cover of the Four Deuces release from 1956)

Marshall McLuhan's "Global Village" in action!!

Sorry all but I've just accidentally deleted this topic, thinking I was just deleting one post that I had just created. Is there anyway it can be retrieved? Anyway, CD Japan has just listed the track details for this series http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/release/music/jazz-fusion/month/?page=2 looks like all the alternates Erbwol listed have been added to the respective releases Dorham Jazz Contemporary (12), Roach (13), Clark (14), Paris (21) My apologies again for the deletion - hopefully (with the help of some board members) I'll be able to sort this out

Looks like they were brothers from the scanty information below https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Bunn

Just downloaded it - SQ is fine by me (heard a lot worse) - Laurie states the sound quality is not up to scratch. Recorded in Adelaide in 1981 with Cables, Williams & Burnett. Nice to have some live AP from downunder.

Wow!! looks like I've been lucky - for the last 4-5 years I've bought all of the Mosaics (that I wanted) as they were released & mainly from Jazz Messengers (great service IMHO). That free shipping over 60 euros is the clincher - makes them much more affordable here in Australia. Have over 100 sets now (been picking them up since the early 90s). Nothing I really need. Quite a few of the sets turn up here for sale second hand & there doesn't appear to be a big demand for them - I've picked them up for very reasonable/good prices. My latest score (last week) was one of my holy grails ie The Basie Roulette Studio Recordings 10CD in mint condition - I never picked it up at the time (didn't have the finances). That was sitting at Birdland Records in Sydney for quite a few months (deceased estate) & they kept dropping the price with no takers - I'd forgotten about it & when I looked again last week the price had been dropped significantly so I pounced. Currently I'm negotiating a price for the Bechet, Hodes & DeFranco sets (all vinyl) with a shop here in Brisbane. Really hope Mosaic can find a wealthy benefactor or crowdfunding could be an option - they've been a large part of my life for the last quarter of a century.

Tina Brooks on tour with Ray Charles in South America - _O-Genio Ray Charles 1963 - Live In Brazil (DVD) it's also been loaded onto YouTube I'm surprised there is no footage of Hank with Miles Davis (he was heavily filmed, wasn't he?)

loved the Verve Elites but other favs were the Black Vogue Digipak Series & the french America series (Lacy, Waldron, Braxton, Shepp, Shorter, NYA4/Rudd, Bley, Thornton etc)

All of the above plus Cecil Taylor live in Berlin 1988, Complete Keynote (LP), Holiday Columbia, Reinhardt Complete French 40CD Dolphy & Rollins Prestige, Evans & Monk Riverside, Vandermark V - Alchemia This could go on & on

Dan, are you aware that shipping is free when purchasing over 60 euros from Jazz Messengers

Just wondering if Rudy's Englewood Cliffs Studio still exists or has it been disassembled since his passing? If it is still extant is it open for inspection?

My copy was shipped from Spain (Jazz Messengers) this morning - just got email confirmation

will get mine from Jazz Messengers (free shipping above 60 euros for international orders)

wonderful news - would rather buy it from jazz messengers than HMV Japan

wondering if it's going to be released on the Dutch Jazz Archive label too?

has anyone mentioned this release (55 Records Japan) due for April 26 - looking at other 55 Records discs it looks like this may be a Dutch Jazz Archives release Anyone know more about this? Check the Mobley You Tube link below

highly recommended IMHO (any Warne is worthwhile) got my copy from Jazz Messengers (Spain)

noticed quite a bit of clarinet too but did Herschel also play that instrument or was it just Lester?

can't stop listening!! iPhone & UE Boom speaker - sounds like I'm there
