The Quincy Jones set is now oop.

Thank for pointing this out. I didn't realise this. I was satisfied when burning a wav on a CD it played on the CD player.

Off course other formats than wav can be burned on a cd. But my point was that converting to wav en than burn it on a cd makes it posible to play it on a standard cd player.

WAV files can be burned to a CD and played on a CD-player.

The Charles Tolliver big band select is now sold out.

Just listend to Body and soul on the NY times site. Almost 6 minuten of brilliant Hawkins. The album no. 1 can be pre ordered at I-tunes. Body and soul seems to be ready for download at 99 cents. The booklet is only available if you buy the whole album.

Yes and now CD's are on last chance. ?

Metronome all stars 1956 on Verve. Not even in Andorra?

Coleman Hawkins is now on last chance. The Woody Herman and the Boogie Woogie & blues piano Selects are now running low. That means that soon all Selects will be gone from the Mosaic catalogue.

Lester Young disc 1. ?

Set 542 just arrived. Will start listening tonight.

Thanks 54 and counting??

Sold for 75,89. Stil a bargain.

Complete JATP 40's set disc 1

This was discused before I think . Don Byas would certainly deserve a Mosaic. But there are too many labels involved to make it happen. But you're free to dream.

The big mosaic starts with 1932. A complete Okeh, Columbia etc. set would be 4 CD's. If combined with the pre 1932 Universal material ( 3 CD's) that would give a almost complete 1925-1931. There would be a few loose ends left from Blue disc Gennett etc. Off course the Universal material is all ready in a set but there have been 2 discoveries since. Columbia late 40's early fifties would be most welcome. For me the 1956-1962 Columbia period should be done in 4 boxed sets with each 6 LP's as the basis and supplemented with all the extra material.

That makes two of us.

Nice collection and Dick Tracy art work to boot.

Yes there are sextet tracks with Christian. For reasons I don't understand myself I stoped making notes after listening to the Duke recordings. There is a lot of Goodman and I went for the usual suspects. But I don't remember wich tunes I heard.

In May I spent a couple of hours listening to as much as posible from the Savory collection. I listend to all Ellington items. Going throug the Goodman items choosing those likely to be by the sextet with Charlie Christian. Then I looked for other interesting items with Benny, Lester and Roy Eldridge. Off course there was not time enough to listen to everything. I'm sorry I didn't take more notes of what I listend to. Not enough paper. An afternoon well spend.

I hope they include the alternate takes of Boppin' a riff part 2 and Fat boy part 1 that according to the Tom Lord disco appear on a Mythic Sound CD MS 6002 Early Bud Powell. I've never heard this so I don't know if these are real alternate takes.

Take A is the shortest of the three so I don' t think so.

Release date now July.

Release date now set at late june

Just added on the running low list: Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall LP Novus & Columbia Recordings of Henry Threadgill & Air (#247)
