From time to time I check te Retrieval web site hoping there will be a new issue. But allas: 'Hotsy Totsy Gang 1930' from 2018 remains the last one. Most available titles are now €8,21. But a lot ot titles are no longer available though some still have the button 'let me know when available'. But i wouldn't put up my hopes too high. Timeless Historical last issue is from 2008. Jazz Oracle's last issue is from 2016. The label has been bought up by Upbeat. I don't now if new issues are in de pipeline. Frog's last issue is from 2019. There was an annoucment of a six CD box with jazz recorded in New Orleans but that is nowere to be seen on the revamped website (a glimmer of hope). Just as the annnouced 6th annual. To the best of my knowledge the remaing serious reissue labels with music from the 78-era are Archeophone and Rivermont. Nice as their products are neither of them are specialised in Jazz. Unless Mosaic comes with a bunch of sets from the 78-era it is a closed chapter.

I have this CD. If you PM me your e-mailadres I can upload it (music and pdf of the booklet) to We transfer. This seems to me the quickest way.

A very worthwhile CD.

The Teddy Wilson is now OOP. Some how The Woody Herman is still listed. Mosaic catalogue: Paul Desmond, Savory collection. Coming soon: Louis Armstrong. That’s All folks

I remember lending this one from the public library. Must have the cassette tape I made some where in the attic.

Brunswick/Vocalion was an independent record company until end 1930. Bought by Warner Brothers to press records for their talking movies system that din’t make it. They leased the labels to ARC (Columbia/Okeh now Sony under the provision that a minimum number of records be sold. In 1940 they failed and the labels returned to WB who then sold them to Decca (now Universal) Decca also bought the pre late 1930 recordings. The recordings made by ARC stayed with ARC. The Columbia and Okeh label made a come back at that point.

Just got an e-mail that the Teddy Wilson set is on last chance. The Lester Young/Count Basie set made a come back just as the Woody Herman Decca, Mars, MGM set. These come backs are usualy short lived. If you don't have them it's time to pull the trigger.

If you don't have the set and you like Lester Young get it. It might be the only way to get the complete Jones Smith inc session.

I was thinking about 'The Carnival of Swing' 29-5-1938 on Randall Island (NY). 25 bands in the line up. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Stuff Smith (with Ben Webster), Artie Shaw, Ella Fitzgerald, and Gene Krupa as the closing act. But also Kay Kaiser and Vincent Lopez. Great bands for shure but jazz?. I could not find a complete line up. Missing from the line up: Benny Goodman he played at the Steel peer (Atlantic City) that day. Count Basie & His Orch. 1938 Randall's Island NYC - YouTube Carnival of Swing: Uncovering an Historic Jazz Concert at Randall's Island Stadium, 1938 | The New York Public Library (nypl.org) The poster 1938 Carnival of Swing Poster | Growling Hamster is a recreation of how it might have looked.

The Woody Herman 1943-1954 set is now OOP. Still available at Jazzmessengers Barcelona.

Maybe you should ask Tom Lord who runs a large on line jazz disco behind a paywal. Tom Lord - The Jazz Discography - Catalog of Jazz Music (lordisco.com) Compiling the disco is his livelyhood so it seems natural to me that he asks a subscription fee.

This is my greatest wish at the moment. I spent one afternoon listening to Duke, Django, Goodman (mostley sextet) and Goodman with Roy Eldridge and Lester Young iirc). There are more than 1.100 tracks to listen to. It is not all jazz there were also fireside chats by president Roosevelt. My listening was cut short when someone came to test Illinois Jacquet's sax. That sound was so loud it drowned out everything else.

Oslo 4/12/64 Stockholm 4/13/64 Both partialy on Jazz Icons DVD. CD's are near imposible to find.

Classics is mostly ok. In this instance I don’t think they used original lp’s. Classics 1003 Bud Powell. Same quality. Don’t think lp’s were used.

Classics 1000 Charlie Parker 1947

Classics 980 Charlie Parker 1945-1947

I looked at the website of the publisher Z2 comics. The standard edition has a 7’ flexidisc unissued track(s) not mentioned. The the luxe edition should have 45 rpm single with unissued tracks. No titles mentioned. The text with this graphic novel on Amazon states Verve will issue a cd spanning Bird’s L.A. Period. The must be JATP recordings.

Thanks. It seeems to be have been a temporary thing.

I would be very happy if Mosaic did this.

I wanted to see if Peter Losin had news on his Miles Davis-Bird website. But I get a 'Website Unavailble' message. It would be awfull if that would be permanent. Webage Unavailable (plosin.com) Does anyone knows something about this?

Placed a preorder. I suggested this one long ago. And I was not the only one I guess

I would love to hear this. I think it is a pity it is not included in the Mosaic set.

Yes but only 2.000 copies not 5.000 or 7.500 as in olden days.

Just got an e-mail from Mosaic stating that the Woody Herman set is on last chance. It bypassed the running low status.
