That makes more sense.

Moonscape is one of Jackie's finest performances.

Definitely a title that should be on the front burner if ever Blue Note starts a CD reissue campaign again. Surprising that it has not even come out in Japan. It is a great record and the title track was a semi-hit.

The Cuscuna/Ruppli book specifically mentions Lee being absent on Popi. That is where I saw it. No note about Midnight Cowboy so it must be him but yes, his playing is nondescript. The Duke Pearson arrangements are weak. How did this session come about? Maybe an effort to cash in on the movie?

For some reason, I always want to sing 'blue, blue, my love is blue, my dispositions's dependent on you' just as Billie Holiday would.

Rufus Harley also recorded it.

I think it was called Blue Note at the Movies.

That is an obscure one. Does Lee even play on it? I vaguely recall that he does not.

The reply was very nice but does not address my burning question. I really want to hear the 3 Bill Lee titles and Harold Vick ASAP. Not sure I can wait for a potential CD.

The Freddie Roach exists as a download only on the Blue Note site?

I wish Blue Note would consider downloads but perhaps they are still concerned about artistic integrity. I wish Left Bank tapes would come out as downloads rather than not at all.

The Bartz probably has extra tracks and would be a nice 'complete' set that Zev or Cory Weeds could put out. I think I even pitched the idea to Cory. Working with Concord may be non-starter. Why I think there are extra tracks: Gary said the recording was planned in advance by Milestone. The last time (Ellington) was a closer. So the tape machines had to be rolling the whole time. It was not a 40-minute concert.

Yes, I am not asking about those. Only sessions that were released on LP but did not get a CD release anywhere, not even Japan or Mosaic. I am sure Blue Note no longer uses that list but I am really curious what might have been on it. Bertrand.

Good point about the McLean. I need to decide where 'only in a Mosaic box' fits in.

I posted this elsewhere: Many years ago, I would call Blue Note asking about certain titles and if they would ever come out on CD. One was Wayne Shorter's Etcetera. The person said they had a list of titles that would NEVER come out on CD (Etcetera was not on it). That was mysterious to say the least. What was on the list? Maybe a bunch of titles from the George Butler era? Are there any Blue Notes that have never been on CD in any country? I am sure there are some. I am referring to titles that did exist on LP, not unissued dates.

Got this response from Adam, the GM: Dear Bertrand - Thank you for reaching out. Our digital team forwarded me your email and I wanted to respond to you personally. We are in the process of evaluating the next set of titles for physical release. We are not ready to make any announcements at this time.

It looks like 10 alternates plus Photon. The Mode for Joe issued in Japan is not in the Mosaic Box? That is nuts.

The Hutcherson has a lot of alternates! The new tune, Photon in a Paper World, has me curious. It used to be 'rejected'.

Since I have the individual CDs, I did not really pay attention. Are there bonus tracks on the Hutcherson, Hubbard and Joe Henderson sets that were not on the Individual CDs? I think there was at least one on the Hutcherson. I assume they cannot be bought as downloads anywhere. Thanks, Bertrand.

I tried to get a copy of the list LOL. Blue Notes that have never been on CD anywhere will be a thread topic later today.

I bought Take 1 of Repetition from Paper Man. I hope this is really the take that was not on the Mosaic CD. Timings are very close.

I sent my wish list to Mack Avenue. I had the same idea about titles that may never be on CD but do they have such a detailed plan yet? If they base it on demand, then maybe we can all email them the same titles! I added Reasons in Tonality which is not available at all right now. Many years ago, I would call Blue Note asking about certain titles and if they would ever come out on CD. One was Wayne Shorter's Etcetera.

Interesting! What do we know about guitarist George Davis who plays on the record. I LOVE the opening tune that he wrote.

Did anyone notice that the last track on the Rouse is 9:30 instead of 10:30 as it says on the back cover?

Sorted through all of it now. Two more things: Tolliver Live in Tokyo has 3 tracks on the Mosaic Select that are not on the Mack Avenue Download: Impact, Our Second Father, Earl's World The Live at Loosdrecht I have is called Grand Max on Black Lion. Can't remember if it sounded good enough.
