Tones for Joan's Bones was on Vortex, an Atlantic label used for their more adventurous jazz releases in that era. Inner Space was the expanded 2LP reissue in the 70's. Atlantic butchered the CD release of Inner Space but Collectables of all people got it right some years later.

Maybe just The Complete Oregon on Vanguard and Elektra. You really want to pay $17/disc for those ECM's?

That's actually a great idea. You could limit it to the ones with guest leaders, since the first one and Escalator Over The Hill are easily obtainable on ECM.

Pre-ordered the Bartz, thanks for the heads-up!

The Complete Recordings of the Kenny G Quintet Featuring Michael Brecker.

Count me in for the Dixon. Along with the Bill Barron.

Stunning. Substance beyond hype. You quickly forget his age.

They were burnouts by the fourth album. The first three do pack a wallop.

You could cut out "Leeway", which is from four years and a few label changes (Vee Jay, Jazzland, back to Blue Note) prior to anything else on the set. But you still have 16 albums then.

Not aware of a domestic CD of it, and I have tried hard through the years to keep track of that sort of thing.

"Soul Symphony" came out on CD in 2008. I got it cheap, didn't keep it, but wish now I had.

I've especially always enjoyed Lawson. Ronnie Mathews and Joe Bonner would also make my list.

I've never heard them say "we remastered the material, but it doesn't really sound particularly different/better than what's been out before", even though I would argue that's the case often enough. This is an easy pass for me, as were the Mobley and Morgan. $ and shelf space are not limitless, and I have everything except the three new alternates on CD already (also have all the Mobley and Morgan material on CD), and they have the (subjective, for me) magic of the Blue Note artwork, which the Mosaics never do.

For CD, to my knowledge, the first album is only on the McLean "Vertigo" CD, the second album is only on the Moncur Mosaic Select.

Helping Ozzy Osborne, the world-renowned reality show superstar, keep his groove through a hectic day?

Me too!

She won't. My 91 year old stepfather in Lakewood Ranch will.

Had to smile at the huge orange Morris Levy Roulette Records sticker on the one.
