  3. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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?)
  8. 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)
  9. 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
  10. Dan, are you aware that shipping is free when purchasing over 60 euros from Jazz Messengers
  11. 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?
  12. My copy was shipped from Spain (Jazz Messengers) this morning - just got email confirmation
  13. will get mine from Jazz Messengers (free shipping above 60 euros for international orders)
  14. wonderful news - would rather buy it from jazz messengers than HMV Japan
  15. wondering if it's going to be released on the Dutch Jazz Archive label too?
  16. 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
  17. highly recommended IMHO (any Warne is worthwhile) got my copy from Jazz Messengers (Spain)
  18. noticed quite a bit of clarinet too but did Herschel also play that instrument or was it just Lester?
  19. can't stop listening!! iPhone & UE Boom speaker - sounds like I'm there
  20. That's what I'm banking on
  21. 21 of the tracks are from "The Famous Door" while the last, "One O'Clock Jump" (much poorer SQ) is from the legendary "Randall's Island" concert. The download liner notes claim "there are two more selections, but the discs have deteoriated to the point of almost inaudibility". Pity they didn't release these other two (see below) just for historical purposes & as Jan Evensmo comments, who cares about the SQ
  22. just downloaded the 22 titles & booklet & it looks like all my Christmases have come at once - I'm in Basie/Lestorian heaven So many stunning LY solos & SQ amazingly good Got to be the release of the year for me - IMHO this outdoes the Larry Young set & that was at the top of my list until just now Just wish it had been released in CD or LP format
  23. Thanks Flurin - it's going to be supersaturated art & architecture, both of which we both love but the big bonus for me will be visiting the Ducati motorcycle factory & museum in Bologna (been riding motorcycles since the late 70's - Ducati, Gilera, BMW - I'm a sucker for the euro machines).
  24. Spending a week in Paris (Sept 2-9) & any info regarding things "jazzy" (best record shops, jazz venues, historical sites, upcoming concerts etc) would be most appreciated I've already done a bit of research online - found a few things but "insider" knowledge can't be beaten Will actually be in Europe for most of September - Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome from mid to late Sept then Helsinki (there's a Storyville Club here) for 3 days (24-26 Sept) Any advice regarding these locations would also be great Thanks in advance
