Hi Rocky, how are you? Haven't seen you here for a long time. Still have fond memories of our evening at Blue Tomato .... It's been a long time since I listened to the Colours of Chloe - what he says in his interview makes sense to me. I appreciate his frankness about the jazz scene. Things haven't changed much since then.

Can you recommend the Joe Newman / Cootie Williams CD? I'm just listening to the Bill Coleman from that series, which is one of the most enjoyable albums I have heard in some time!

This afternoon, parts of these two box sets:

Glad I ordered my JPJ set the last time it went running low - although I got mine from Jazzmessengers. It is a very good and enjoyable set, of course - but what do I have to tell you ..... As of now, jazzmessengers still has the JPJ in stock, but they no longer list the Webb/Fitzgerald.

Same here - the total cost for a set is a little less than ordering from Mosaic directly, shipping costs and VAT added, and I don't have the hassle of picking the parcel up at the local customs office - when I order from Jazzmessengers it's a shipment within the EU. So far I ordered three sets from them, no problems, and they arrived within three days. Packing was excellent. Never had any problems with ordering from Mosaic per surface mail, either. Some sets arrived after two weeks, some took six.

Last weekend: This one will be opened for the upcoming weekend:

On the way home tonight:

The album with Ruth Brown was not part of the Mosaic box but reissued separately on Blue Note - used copies go for crazy prices.

Look here - once a week I find the time to search for the threads to replace the old links in the list.

The Dearly Beloved album in this box set has some very fine Stanley Turrentine playing!

Found a used copy of the Musicraft CD for € 5 plus shipping - looking forward to listening ...

New Orleans home of jazz's founding father is rotting away Church that owns property says it needs to find money and finish other projects first http://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/new-orleans-home-of-jazzs-founding-father-is-rotting-away/289-543149755

Nice for singing along .....

This is on my wish list for some time now - IIRC one session has Mongo Santamaria and other Latin percussionists. https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/lenny-hambro-albums/6260-complete-sessions-1953-1957-4-lps-on-2-cds-bonus-tracks.html

That was a great feature! Had a Teleton amp for some years that even had a blend poti from stereo to mono. Works great on albums with ping-pong stereo effects, too.
