Perhaps the perfect time to sell this.

My copy is supposed to arrive within the next hour ...

One of mine, too, although for Antonioni, not for Birkin. She was a teenager back then, and grew into a fascinating person over the years. I once sat in a Paris Café when she strolled by - quite an aura. R.I.P.

I have it on the shelf for so long .....

👍 Sometimes I think, staying on topic may be too hard for many members. No matter what forum they post on.

My copy is on its way.

This really shows the piano genius of Cole. He always approaches his solo differently on each take.

$ 399.00 !?!?!?!

Only one copy for sale on discogs! He recorded so many dates with the best Wes Coast players besides his innumerable studio dates, but most of them are hard to find.

R.I.P. I think he had the most distinctive sound of all trumpet players. I always recognized him after one or two notes. I remember an interview where he was asked about electric trumpets, and he answered he had worked on this sound for so long that he didn't want to plug in and sound like something else. He plays on half of this album with his great sound:

They did a number of sets from the Verve catalog. But Universal Japan reissued all the Chess and Verve albums as single CDs (without any unissued material) at the occasion of Burrell's 90th birthday in 2021, so that maybe out of the question, economically.

I think the Burrell Blue Note albums were perfectly presented as single reissues, as they are all a bit different from each other. Closest thing to a box set was the double CD with the first sessions. The only rarity is the Japanese LP Freedom with leftover tracks, but musically I didn't think it was very thrilling. The Burrell Verve sessions - that would have been great, but who knows if the unissued material still exists?

Due to problems with train connections we couldn't make it, but two weeks later we saw the end of term presentation of the HIP class with excellent violin and oboe students. Last week it was the general rehearsal for a performance of Händel's four Coronation Anthems, garnished with a Telemann sinfonia with three trumpets and two concerti grossi by Georg Muffat in arrangements for grand baroque orchestra. The large student choir in the Anthems had the walls of the concert hall vibrating! Best choir performance I ever heard.

Let's have a more serious look at possible Mosaic box sets from the Blue Note modern jazz catalog. What we now have available is: - Joe Henderson (including the two Kenny Dorham albums) - Freddie Hubbard (plus Impulse! albums - Sonny Clark We already had, but some long oop: - Hank Mobley 1950's - Hank Mobley 1960's - Andrew Hill 1963-66 - Andrew Hill unreleased sessions Select - Lee Morgan 1950's - Bud Powell (plus Roost, except for the Bud Plays Bird album discovered later) - Thelonious Monk - Sam Rivers - Don Cherry - Thad Jones small groups (including Roulette and United Artists) - Curtis Fuller - Tina Brooks - Dizzy Reece Select - Paul Chambers Select - Grachan Moncur III Select - Jackie McLean 1964-66 - Stanley Turrentine Quintets / Sextets - Lou Donaldson 1957-60 - Jimmy Smith February 1957 - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 1960's - Bennie Green Select - Freddie Redd - Herbie Nichols - Grant Green with Sonny Clark - Blue Mitchell 1963-66 - Donald Byrd / Pepper Adams - Horace Parlan - Larry Young - Elvin Jones - John Patton Select - Duke Pearson Select - Dexter Gordon Select Keystone - Don Pullen Select - Tony Williams Select - Ike Quebec 45 sessions There were box sets of the Blue Notes of Herbie Hancock and Dexter Gordon that Cuscuna compiled. Now that's what I call mining a catalog, considering the avoidance of albums reissued on single or double CDs. But now that most of these are oop ...... Regarding Bobby Hutcherson, we had a Select with rare stuff from his last Blue Note years. I always wondered why they never did a Hutcherson/Land Select. But with practically all single CDs oop this would be an option, IMHO. Another candidate could be Horace Silver, split into three boxes, the earliest albums to the Mitchell/Cook frontline, the next quintets, the Silver 'N' series. I always thought he would have deserved the Mosaic treatment, although everything was reissued on single CDs.

New CD reissue on Liberation Hall of the direct-to-disc album Huracán (originally on Crystal Clear Records). It includes the two bonus tracks that first appeared on a Laserlight CD. Sound is excellent, it seems to be properly licensed as it credits the original label.

New CD reissue on Liberation Hall with the two bonus tracks, seems to be properly licensed. Excellent sound.

My preference, too. I really can relate to what you are saying.

Once more for the morning coffee - I love this music and the way he plays it.

I do, and it is an improvement, but not the same as before, of course. At least I cannot afford the high end models, and what I want is not available anywhere. A high end multi-band equalizer would serve me better.
