romualdo

All titles on the LP were live except for "Honeysuckle Rose" which had fake applause overdubbed by Teo Macero & listed as live at the Village Gate This was actually from a trio studio date (March 2, 1965). This take (#2) has only ever been released on this LP (plus a euro CD). An alternate take (#1) from the same session was released on the 3CD "Columbia Years 62-68" set. Also, "Evidence" was listed as being from the Tokyo, Japan 63 concert (on the LP & earlier discographies) but other discographies list it as being recorded at the Philharmonic Hall with the Big Band in 1963 - I think it was the former Anyone with an original LP that can have a listen - is it a quartet or Big Band? http://www.discogs.com/Thelonious-Monk-Misterioso-Recorded-On-Tour/release/5556263

Many thanks

Firstly, is anybody in possession of an earlier CD release of Betty Roche's "Take The "A" Train" There were 2 previously unreleased alternate takes (actually 3) listed as "Go Away Blues" included on the CD The recent Japanese Solid release has 2 alternates (plus a 45 sec breakdown) of "I Just Got The Message, Baby" instead of the above I'm wondering if "Go Away Blues" is actually "I Just Got The Message, Baby" & has been mislabelled on these earlier CDs I'd appreciate someone who has a copy having a listen for me & reporting back -> will help to modify/correct the Lord Discography Secondly, "Summertime" has been listed as being part of this session but has only (AFAIK) been released a the flip side to Bethlehem 45 11054 (a side "I Just Got The Message, Baby") I'm wondering if this version of "Summertime" is they same one that is on the Porgy & Bess LP (Roche vo & Howard McGhee tp) & not part of this session (Conte Candoli was on tp) Any Bethlehem single collectors out there that could have a listen to the 45 or digitalise the track & send me an MP3 - either would be greatly appreciated

listening to the disc while burning it for me?

oh yeah!!!

Pete your books finally reached Australian shores last week via Florida All in lovely condition Thanks again

for preorders, does Mosaic charge us upfront or is the charge made when the item is available/shipped I've never preordered before

I ended up getting most of the box via the individual CD releases over the years - happy with that

Ok - understood, thnx. So the "complete" takes that are out are unauthorized / illegal / whatever!?! I've never seen more that the 12 I have. Oops - probably shouldn't even say that. No problems talking about these as they were officially released in 1994 by Verve/Polygram as by Lee Konitz "Live At The Half Note" (2CD) The Andorrans later ripped this off with their own release

Jonathan have sent the 6 tracks as separate MP3 files to you - enjoy!!

except for the tapes (Decca Studios, Dec 59) that were sent to Alfred Lion for a potential Blue Note release (didn't happen) -> they were found (2008) by Michael Cuscuna in Alfred Lion's home collection & released on Candid (Tubby's New Groove - CD 79554) The liner notes to this CD are a good read & the SQ of the music is great

you'll keep getting them (regularly) if you buy from them - remind me of the True Blue catalogues of past

Jonathan - I have Hum Dono in MP3 format (needle drop) - can send it to you How's the Tapscott coming along? Like your comment on the WM solo tapes - lethal weapons, eh!!

I've managed to accumulate 11 of the 12 discs to Mosaic 170 (over the past few years) just missing Disc 2 plus the booklet (small) for the 2nd CD case (discs 5-8) Mosaic still has copies of the large booklet (but not small ones) so I'll get that from them Anyone out there with a spare of Disc 2 or booklet for V-VIII (even a scanned PDF file would be greatly appreciated) This is really pushing it, but any chance of a spare box in someone's possession

Jazz Messengers (Spain) have it in stock for 18,14 euros http://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/search?search_query=horace+tapscott&search_s=send

RIP Fred Ho - too young to go

Drool, Drool !! only £35 for a 3 day pass pity I live at the other end & bottom of the world I've been enjoying the Not Two 5CD set "Mad Dogs" - various combinations of the Barry Guy New Orchestra

RIP Wayne The JC's Mosaic box in one of my favourites

The Akisakila double looks interesting - one of the few CT items I don't have better send a pm

I feel like Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory pm on (if shipping to Australia doesn't break me) The Uncrowned King of Swing - Fletcher Henderson and Big Band Jazz Jeffre Magee hardback, excellent 7 Song of the Hawk John Chilton hardback, excellent 25 A Lester Young Reader Lewis Porter editor paperback vg 6

Michael D Anderson discusses Boris in the recent ESP text "Always In Trouble" - hard to say whether he was at Birdland or listening to the radio?

I would like to see a stragglers box - musicians who only recorded a single LP for the label/s - I think Clifford Jordan was one in this category - there must be others

I think Jonathan is referring to the Half Note recordings from 1959 (Konitz/Marsh/Evans/Garrison/Motian) - some was released in full on a Verve twofer CD in the 90's The LP releases on Revelation 22 & 27 (The Art Of Improvising, Vols 1 & 2) were just the Warne solos with rhythm section plus the occasional Konitz

have copied from the current Discography section - thought it may be helpful here Since this Bethlehem/Solid series commenced there have been bonus CDs with each batch - usually a single CD but with the most recent lots they are offering 2 I've just had a friend in Japan translate the info on the OBI & indeed if you send 5 coupons you can choose one of the two promo only discs - you can get both with 10 coupons (these are on the right hand bottom corner of a middle page of the CD booklet) You just cut these coupons from the booklet & send them to an address in Tokyo - unfortunately this offer is for for Japanese customers only Luckily for me my friend in Japan has offered to send the coupons on for me (I've mailed them to her) to Solid/Verse Japan & they will send the discs to her & eventually they will get back to me the series so far (5 releases) CDSOL- 6000S Bethlehem's Girl Friends (LP 6006) (1st batch 6001- 6030 i.e. 30 releases) CDSOL- 6000SS Donna Brooks - Soft & Slow (EP 104) (2nd batch 6031- 6060 i.e. 30 releases) CDSOL- 6000SSS Marty Napoleon - Sings & Swings (EP 106) (3rd batch 6061- 6090 i.e. 30 releases) CDSOL- 6000S4 Mel Torme - California Suite (LP 6016) (4th batch 6091- 6120 i.e. 30 releases) CDSOL- 6000S5 Tommy Watt With Tubby Hayes - Watt's Cooking (LP 6062) (5th batch 6121- 6155 i.e. 35 releases) CDSOL- 6000S6 AJQ - Three Penny Opera (LP 6062) (5th batch 6121- 6155 i.e. 35 releases) nothing essential here but I wouldn't mind the AJQ & Tubby material

Ah, perhaps that's the answer then. .... a "freebie". That might also answer my query as to how good it is! @ Head Man : received with a little help from a japanese speaking friend following "enlightenment" : The 35 CD`s of the March 2014 releases http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/search/music/adv_1/barcodecatnum_CDSOL-61/category_1/x_0/y_0/ do carry a coupon (inside the booklet, me believe). With five coupons your are entilted to ask for a freebie, which is either Tommy Watt with Tubby Hayes "Watt`s Cooking" CDSOL-6000S5 or The Australian Jazz Quintet "Three Penny Opera" CDSOL 60000S6 The catalogue specifically states, that this two releases and based on the numbering system the previous four items CDSOL 6000S1 ??? CDSOL 6000S2 ??? CDSOL 6000S3 ??? CDSOL 6000S4 Mel Torme "California Suite" will NOT see official release How to proceed if being in possession of a sufficient number of coupons but not living in Japan is still questionable to me (there is an adress, FAX and Phonenumber...) All in all the typical way how the Japanese Reissue Companies care for their domestic clients - which is fine for the latermentioned, but sometimes frustrating to us "mere mortals"......hope this was of help though.... I rest my case. Since this Bethlehem/Solid series commenced there have been bonus CDs with each batch - usually a single CD but with the most recent lots they are offering 2 I've just had a friend in Japan translate the info on the OBI & indeed if you send 5 coupons you can choose one of the two promo only discs - you can get both with 10 coupons (these are on the right hand bottom corner of a middle page of the CD booklet) You just cut these coupons from the booklet & send them to an address in Tokyo - unfortunately this offer is for for Japanese customers only Luckily for me my friend in Japan has offered to send the coupons on for me (I've mailed them to her) to Solid/Verse Japan & they will send the discs to her & eventually they will get back to me the series so far (5 releases) CDSOL- 6000S Bethlehem's Girl Friends (LP 6006) (1st batch 6001- 6030 i.e. 30 releases) CDSOL- 6000SS Donna Brooks - Soft & Slow (EP 104) (2nd batch 6031- 6060 i.e. 30 releases) CDSOL- 6000SSS Marty Napoleon - Sings & Swings (EP 106) (3rd batch 6061- 6090 i.e. 30 releases) CDSOL- 6000S4 Mel Torme - California Suite (LP 6016) (4th batch 6091- 6120 i.e. 30 releases) CDSOL- 6000S5 Tommy Watt With Tubby Hayes - Watt's Cooking (LP 6062) (5th batch 6121- 6155 i.e. 35 releases) CDSOL- 6000S6 AJQ - Three Penny Opera (LP 6062) (5th batch 6121- 6155 i.e. 35 releases) nothing essential here but I wouldn't mind the AJQ & Tubby material
