Could not agree more. Perhaps Mosaic can be convinced to lease and release the material again on CDs. Since they would be releasing the material on CDs, they would not be exactly going back on their word that they release each set of material only once. Perhaps we can lobby them to do so for some anniversary -- sort of an appreciation to all their loyal supporters/customers.

There also are worthwhile albums of Wilder tunes as performed by Roland Hanna, Marian McPartland, and Bob Brookmeyer.

There's an excellent on-line discography for Eddie Johnson at the following url: http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~campber/johnson.html - Jon

Stuff Smith claimed that he was largely responsible for composing "Walkin' By The River." Although his lawsuit was unsuccessful (see Anthony Barnett's notes in the Stuff Smith Mosaic box for more details), the melody certainly sounds to my ears like one of Stuff's. - Jon
