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.

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.

Thanks. So nothing new in the Slugs set. I will download the Music Inc. And Paper Man bonus tracks. I don't have Live in Berlin at all, so will get the CD.

This strategy of releasing the downloads month ahead of the CDs is odd. I will email them with my wish list and see if I can pin them down. I agree with the impatience issue - I have been hoping those Bill Lee titles would come out for YEARS. Even if I get a couple, I would get the CDs later. The two Tollivers I need are Compassion and Live in Berlin. So all the bonus tracks on Live at Slugs were in the Mosaic Select? Music Inc. Has a bonus track that was NOT in the Mosaic, I believe, and Right Now/Paper Man also had an extra track. Interesting unresolved issue: Spanish Dancer in Brass Company is the same tune as the rejected track from Grant Green's much earlier Solid record. It was always presumed to be a Duke Pearson tune but I never found a copyright registration. So it looks like it is a Bill Lee tune, but how did a Bill Lee tune make its way to a Blue Note date? Bill was never in the Blue Note 'family'. Very odd.

I will wait a while to see which come out on CD, my preferred format.

So I noticed that a lot of the titles are on Bandcamp as download only, but I did get the Charlie Rouse on CD. Are some of the titles going to be on CD later, in which case I will wait? How did you get in touch with Mack Avenue? Here are the titles I am interested in: Bill Lee: Descendents of Mike and Phoebe Billy Harper: Capra Black Brass Company: Colors Charles Tolliver: Compassion Harold Vick: Don't Look Back Charles Tolliver: Live in Berlin (not in the Mosaic Select, correct?) Charles Tolliver: Music Inc. (Not in Mosaic either?) Cecil McBee: Mutima Billy Harper: Such Great Friends New York Bass Violin Choir PS: Is the last track on Rouse 9:30 and not 10:30? The ending is kind of abrupt. Actually, digging a bit more, which Tolliver titles were not in either Mosaic Select? It seems Live in Berlin is the only one. Right Now/Paper Man was not a Strata East title. Note that the download has an extra track. Also Compassion was in neither Mosaic Select set either.

Interesting. Is it a regular DVD or Blue Ray? And US format or European format?

Sounds boring, but I find everything I have heard by the Marsalis clan boring.

I wonder if William Parker will hear this recording...

This was probably suggested three pages ago, but is it possible that it said Denis on the tape box and Huss was a last-minute sub? I agree that Zev certainly had no idea who Huss was. Neither did I before you clued us in, but I don't claim to be a Jazz Detective nor do I make a living in this field.

Glad he liked Grant which is how I have a copy of the rejected KD session. I am sure the McLean was AWL before he started copying en masse.

Wait - you are saying that Huss is mentioned the booklet? What page? I missed that. If so, then there goes my theory that Zev said it was Denis because he did not know who Huss was and perhaps assumed incorrectly that the beginning announcement (not included on the CD) was garbled somehow. Denis may well have played with KD a few times, but where and when? Not on this date in any case.

Belden was who I was referring to. I suspect he did not have the Jackie or it would have circulated by now. I remember reading an article about Bob near the end when he was really going through hard times and there was something about a storage unit he got locked out of.

Everybody, leader and sideman, or their estates, has to get paid. Zev has boasted in the past that he makes sure of this. He even thanked everyone in the booklet and dedicated the releases to those who were deceased. Everyone has to OK the release as well. He is less rigorous about that now. Neither Charles brother gets a dedication here. Good point about big bands. Uptown did not get approval for the Duke Pearson big band Left Bank date from most of the band members or estates. Jerry Dodgion did help out, but Lew Tabackin was complaining on Facebook about it. In fact, he did not know it was being recorded. The Left Bank guys told me they always got permission from the leaders but I am skeptical. In fact, Uptown needed clearance from Blue Note since Duke was signed to them. I am sorry I hooked them up, other Left Bank tapes (more Pearson, Grant Green) are now AWL.
