Please post here to offer or look for parts of Mosaic sets: booklets, empty boxes, single discs ......

Okay, I will open such a thread, Post your offers or want lists of partial there. Go the Offering & Looking For Forum

At the moment I'm reading books on the fringes of jazz:

How about a special thread to offer and look for Mosaic partials - I, e.g., have a second Elvin Jones Booklet to trade/sell/give away.

Seems you did all right, but it will not work as usual. No idea why, but sometimes this happens, although the link works. BTW Peter Giger once told me he was proud to be on that record. He replaced Christian Garros on some tracks (no idea if it is in the album credits - at least it is now listed correctly in the Lord Disco). Kenny Clarke was not on this album!

Yesterday: Today:

R.I.P. Saw him play a few years ago here in town, but can't remember who the leader was. Reggie Johnson obviously made the more lasting impression. Great bass player.

Michael Ruppli's Prestige disco lists a number of unissued sessions and tracks. But there's no guarantee it is all in there. Some fellow boarder alerted me to an Eddie Lockjaw Davis track that was issued on LP but is not in this disco. You never know. Too bad there never were label discographies of Riverside/Jazzland or Contemporary, not to mention Fantasy.

R.I.P. I was kind of in love with her in my teens - such a good looking woman. Even more later, when she starred in one of those Hercule Poirot movies with Peter Ustinov.

R.I.P. I like his playing, but not Jarrett's, that's why I did not listen to his later recordings. Did you know the earliest documented recordings of Peacock were made in Germany in 1957? His first US studio session was with Bud Shank and Laurindo Almeida in California.

On Saturday:

Frankfurt's legendary Jazzkeller re-opened tonight, only 34 seats, Wednesday through Saturday, with new regulations. http://www.jazzkeller.com/programm/calendar.htm

JPC in Germany has it listed again, with a release date of September 18. The British CD was a buck cheaper.

Same with percussion. I once bought a set of timbales, not a sportscar sort of model but a heavy station wagon model, recognizing I would have to work on it but it would be worth it. And I was not disappointed.

That's one I missed when it was reissued ..... This morning during work breaks:

This afternoon after work: Played on the 1764 Hass harpsichord in the Russell Collection in Edinburgh.

Absolutely wonderful!
