Thanks, Chuck, how long will it take? BTW - Is the postal mailbox adress still valid? Thanks - the CD says "Billy Pierce", which I doubt, as there is no other session of a drummer with that name. I have both Delmark CDs, as I said, but need to know if the box set has different information - whenever possible, I cross-check questionable discographical information.

There were two CD releases of this sax/organ team on Delmark. I have both. My question regards the data given on the following two releases from the anniversaries of the label: Delmark CDDX-050 — Delmark - 50 Years Of Jazz And Blues Delmark CDDE-916 — Delmark - 60 Years Of Jazz Both included a track from Stitt with Patterson, "Four" and "Parker's Mood". All I need to know is the name of the drummer and the recording date as stated in the credits of these two releases (I know what's written in all other sources). Any board member owning one or both of these releases, please look it up and post it here - many thanks!

This is an excellent record! Hadn't played it for decades, but I'm glad it's still on my shelves, or rather, my turntable. All were in great form on that day.

There are several regional customs offices spread over the country handling/evaluating the shipments in their area - it seems their procedures vary considerably. Of course they know that values are often understated, they're not dumb. And the customs war Trump started will probably make it worse, I'm afraid.

I never paid for a handling fee, just VAT. I asked Mosaic to attach invoice copies because they hadn't done so, but I was asked to pick up the parcel at the customs office and bring along a document declaring the actual value of the package (invoice or payment). Once I even had to open the parcel so they could make sure it contained what my billing documents said. I can understand, as right wing nationalist or Nazi people often import their discs from abroad, and they want to catch these. But after they learned to attach invoice copies everything was cool.

I always ask Mosaic to attach copies of the inoice to the package. The tax is calculated by the customs and the postman at the door (or at the office) collects. it. No problems.

Isn't there a thread about jazz musicians and poker? Here 'tis:

Sonny Stitt, Don Patterson, Billy James, and - Grant Green! Complete session on one Prestige CD. These guys knew how to swing!

I will get me a copy - I have Transfiguration, so this is the ideal complement.

Okay, how about this?
