  1. I would bet that they will offer it. I am waiting, too.
  2. Verve includes the Chess files, so basically yes.
  3. Yes it is, but .... what I said. But I can see what you like about it
  4. Listen to samples and look where they are coming from - if they are from the Yurpeeans, watch out! These are the reissues I was talking about: I have one set from the label of the last two boxes (Enlightenment - Ramsey Lewis) that really sounds inferior.
  5. Just pulled out this reissue twofer and listened - nice, but not overwhelming. There are more imaginative conga players than Montego Joe. Milford Graves plays some deep stuff in his solos. The role model definitely is Mongo*s band ....
  6. Same with my used LPs I once bought i Paris. Loved and played and played and played again. The Mosaic sounds great, except for the first album. Their source was a Japanese needle drop - my vintage US LP copy sounds much better.
  7. Can't grab his book right now. My basement is a mess due to some repair work etc.
  8. You never know. Some are cloning other reissues like the Mosaic, some are needle drops. In this case I would clearly recommend the Mosaic. I never regretted buying it. More than 20 previously unissued tracks that so far have not been cloned, and a more complete picture of the trio, e.g. a few Fournier solos. A real big lot of excellent music!
  9. There are some Spanish reissues doing just that ....
  10. ARGO LP667 was from the same session.
  11. A friend of mine used to say that one of the best aspects of the modern piano is that you cannot produce a vibrato on it!
  12. I have his conga instruction book in the basement. Will dig it up tomorrow and lokk for bio.
  13. This swings so much!
  14. That is a smokin' hot record. IIRC there was a bootleg on some Italian label with the remaining tracks.
  15. Today's batch while dusting bookshelves:
  16. Would you like a sexy topless pic?
  17. Just found and ordered a copy.
