That's a nice list. Not meant to chastise, but a lot of those could have been purchased when the Mosaic boxes were in print. Maybe you weren't collecting then.

Anybody heard Jamie Baum? I think she's pretty good. BTW, has James Newton recorded anything recently???

I'm not a big Ramsey Lewis fan either, but I have a Japanese mini-CD reissue of this album & enjoy it a lot. YMMV.

He's excellent on a fine Dave Douglas Quartet CD (DIW 934) called Moving Portraits (which may be OOP). Rest of group is James Genus & Billy Hart.

Buy the Curtis Amy Mosaic Select & you'll get Katanga(& a lot of other fine music).

I saw this "show" live fairly recently & hated it. Repetitious, "altered" sax sounds - just total crap IMHO.

Kent Meyers: The Work Of Wolves

Miguel Zenon Quartet

AFAIK the publishers are already sending out review copies. F "Already" - it's only been in the works since 2002. When can us peons get a copy??? So? Stanley Crouch started working on his Bird bio in 1981. :rsmile: F True enough, but a publication date has never been announced for the Bird. On the other hand, the publication date of the Twardzik book has been announced over & over.

Wise guy - I guess.

I still don't believe this has been issued. My usual book sources don't have it.

Don't hold your breath on some of them. The Long March has been listed for about 4 years.

Margaret Coel: The Girl With Braided Hair

Works for me too.

Dutch Masters

Would those Shakill's Warrior CDs on DIW count??

Me neither.

I had the vinyl many years ago. Probably somewhere in Japan now.

I have friends who love the device, but I agree with king ubu. Luddites unite.

Very annoying, as I thought might be the case from records, but I had to hear what he sounded like in-person 'cause sometimes that makes a big difference and so many good people (including good musicians) dig him. Roughly, a "farther out" Joe Lovano without even the sub-interest of handling changes with some deftness, plus that hoarse, gargly neo-Trane sound that I can't stand -- the one where the player sounds from the first note like his eyes are half-shut in ecstasy. I walked. Ouch!!! I like his CDs better than that. Have never seen / heard him live.

Their CD Gnomade is really good (IMHO).

Green Bay needs to "struggle" more like they did today.

Joshua Breakstone Quartet

You may want to try Magnus Broo: Painbody on Moserobie. It's a quartet with piano, bass, drums. Dusty Groove may have it.
