I don't do Facebook. I go for the 6 CD set. Funny that Sue Mingus wants to issue the second part of My Favorite Quintet when the first part has not yet been issued on CD. While on the subject of Mingus. Just seen on German Amazon: The Metropole Orchestra "A Tribute To The Music Of Charles Mingus" concert recorded for Dutch radio is to be issued on a 2 CD set tittled: Better Get Hit In Your Soul. Highly recomended I was there and it was a superb concert. :tup

Al Cohn/Perkins/Kamuca - The Brothers (MCD-1003) Is gone now

No idea how many sets but buy it; reasons? Either you'll like/love it and you have a great Mosiac set in your collection Or you listen to it and don't like/love it and you sell it on. Besides how many people you know have a CD with a track by Glenn Hardman with 'Upright Organ Blues'?

I'm pleased the Red Nichols Mosaic set with his Universal Brunswick recordings was never released. The Jazz Oracle series not only includes those but the Sony Brunswick recordings as well and also a number of bonus tracks complementing issues on other labels.

The Museum of Broadcasting in New York has a Kinescope. And last year a copy was sold at Skinner auction for $652. Who knows if it ever shows up.

Only on Ti-pi-tin. It's on Masters Of Jazz MJCD 46 Lester Young volume 1 1937-1939. The complementary works. All master takes from that session are on Classics 899 Benny Goodman 1937-1938 The two alt takes from that session are on Neatwork RP 2049 Benny Goodman volume 2 1937-1938

Just starting J.J Johnson J.J! J.J great as always love it so far.

The J. J Johnson is gone now.

The release date is now April/May

The first JSP box has the Ultraphone 1934-1935 recordings on dics 1 and the Decca recordings from 1938-1939 on disc 2 & 3. Disc 4 has the Coleman Hawkins session from 1935 plus the 1935 Decca's. The rest of disc 4 and disc 5 overlap with Mosaic. So does box 2. The boxes: Musette to maestro 28-37 Renown and resistance 37-43 The post war recordings 44-53 Django on the radio do not overlap with the Mosaic. But strangely enough there is some overlap between box 2 and The postwar recordings. I hope this helps. For differences between JSP and the Integrale series by Fremeaux I refer to the Renown and Resistance tread in the reissue forum.

Sorry for the typo of Thad Jones' name . shipping may be steep but where else can you get the Stuff Smith Mosaic for €85,-- shipping included?

JSngry post about the Birka jazz archive led me to their shop. On the CD Box set page are a few Mosaics: Bunny Berigan 7 CD's at €116/SEK 1100 Tadd Jones 3 CD's at €84/SEK 800 Freddie Redd 2 CD € 79/SEK 750 I picked up the Stuff Smith

Jimmie Lunceford disc two. Imo Duke had better compositions en more interesting soloists but what a band :tup That saxophone section is like a Swiss clockwork.

It's also on Intergrale vol. 19

I've been ordering from Worldsrecords for years and never had trouble with them. Don't know about postage inside USA. My orders go transatlantic.

Are you just talking of the current JSP or does that mean that JSP has, between all their boxes, now released all but the listed items from the whole Frémeaux sets? I never followed JSP's Django activities as I had laid eyes on the Frémeaux long before the three boxes appeared (and jumped at that chance quickly last year, although I haven't yet listened to much of it). going through my files the following are also missing: Germaine Sablon Ici l'on peche (alt take) aug 1934 Tiger rag/After you've gone/Confessin' (non professional studio recording) Freddy Taylor previously unissued Swanee river (The also previously unissued How come you do me like you do is one of the late finds). Alix Combelle previously unissued What a diffrence a day made/The sheik of araby Jean Sablon Cette Chanson et pour vous madame (alt take) Bill Coleman Baby won't you please come home (alt take) Larry Adler Lover come back to me & I got rhythm (alt takes) I think the conclusion is: if Ted Kendall didn't have the 78 it is not included. This covers al 7 JSP boxes.

Jimmie Lunceford disc 1. Great music and sound. Hope this sets sells well enough to make a Victor/Columbia set possible.

Fremeaux has a number of recordings without Django to proof he isn't on them. There are a number of pre war airchecks that are not on the JSP radiorecordings set. There are a number of late finds on vol. 20 that are not on JSP like the 2 previously unissued takes of 'Chinatown, my Chinatown'. And there are 15 recordings by family and pals to fill out the last CD.

L' integrale by Fremeaux consists of 20 2-CD set's. To the best of my knowledge 40 CD's is about it. Missing are two tracks from 1928 by Chaumel (Sur le place de l'opera' and 'E viva la Carmencita')and one with singer Leon Monoson ('Rest toujours toi meme' aka 'Stay as sweet as you are') and two unissued tracks from a Freddy Taylor session ('Mama don't alowe' and 'Blue drag') on wich the presence of Django is not certain. No it's all there.

So far I didn't pay the J.J Johnson single much attention and did not realise that it was a big band session. But I like his writing for the Dizzy Gillespie's Perception. And I just love 1960's bigbands. To make a long story short I caved.

The J.J. Johnson single is on last chance now.

Last week I got a mail Mosaic Jazz Gazette. That is a real Mosaic newsletter. Don't think it's the same.

Count Basie set is gone now.

Bozy White's book on Bunny is still anounced for this year at the Norbert Ruecker jazz books site as it was last year. Searching the net I found this from 2009: From the Minutes of the 2009 Annual Membership Meeting (IAJRC) Perry Huntoon delivered an update on the status of the Bozy White book on Bunny Berigan. He stated that the progress moved in inches since the last report. The team was able to contact the heiress to Bozy's estate but that developed a snag as no clearance was given, vocal or otherwise with the book. The team was hesitant to go ahead without such rights. Ed Polic, from California, made contact, finally, and through e-mail, she did suggest that there was no interest in the book and would sign a release form. This was fabricated and sent to her. Nothing has been heard from her for several months. There is an urge, on the part of those involved, to go forward, with or without the release. This is being pursued, so no time is lost. The manuscript is in a publisher's hand in the Toronto area and has consented to produce it. The last remaining detail is to assemble the photographic section for the book, and complete the final index. If there is a green light, it may be three months before going to press. Michael Zirpolo, according to Andy Simons, has culled, extensively, the discographical material from the volume and put together a dissertation. This may be serialized in the Journal next year. There has been a three- year delay to recognize this work. Read more: http://periodicals.faqs.org/201003/1963063171.html#ixzz1jqJYgFYI Michael Zirpolo published his Mr. Trumpet:The Trials, Tribulations and Triumph of Bunny Berigan in 2011. Perry Huntoon is on Facebook but no info on Bunny there.
