Sold mine for a little over $200 on ebay about three years ago. Glad to pick this up for about 10% of that price!

Mongo made Herbie Hancock a very rich jazz musician at a very young age.

Funny Funky Rib Crib has had previous CD reissues. Wonder if any of them are better?

I got to see him solo at Rosemont College a number of years ago, and ask him about his time with Archie Shepp. He was very engaging, had a great story about French revolutionaries storming one of their concerts. I stumbled into a cheap CD copy of Questions/Answers from a Japanese seller on ebay (was able to bundle shipping for about a dozen discs), and am glad to have it.

Agreed, Concord will hold onto it tightly to see what ill-conceived Craft sets they can throw together.

Thanks so much. I have older CD issue of that, but the bonus cuts on this one look great, so I'll grab it from DeepDiscount next time I place an order with them.

Thanks, I'll watch for the bundle if it's at a meaningful savings, though 'Us' and 'Mother Africa' on their own may be enough for me.

What is that? a reissue of something?

Anyone have a good USA source for acquiring the CD box set? I only see the LP box set available on Amazon and DustyGroove.

Agreed, but I love the Patrick Roques CD cover (and his BN cover work in general, he did, he really had the Reid Miles thing perfected):

Don't know anything about it!

True, if you have sufficient space and money, and no pull towards the original album art. I actually have kept both the McMaster's and the RVG's of these three albums, and have not been going for the BN Mosaics. Incidentally, the same dynamic happened with Jimmy Smith's The Sermon and Housparty, where the McMaster's separate the two sessions, and the RVG's have the original LP running order, which mixes the two sessions. Also different bonus cuts between the two sets of releases. and I took the same tack, own both the McMaster's and the RVG's.

The 1969 Release of Monk's Two Hours With Thelonious is RS-3020, so I guess ABC used the 3000 series for awhile. Edit: Looks like ABC/Riverside had a 3000 series they issued between 1967-1970, all reissues except the Perkins.

That is the link to the McMaster Straight No Filter, with two sessions. The Hill cuts are on the McMaster No Room For Squares.

McMaster's of The Turnaround, No Room For Squares, and Straight No Filter does it. The last one has two of the sessions (June 17, 1966 and March 7, 1963 on it. https://www.discogs.com/release/11174699-Hank-Mobley-Straight-No-Filter

20-24-ish minutes of a Live 1959 Jam Session at a Chicago club led by Philly Joe Jones? Feels kind of underwhelming to me. And shouldn't this sort of thing be what selling downloads is for? That box set seems very strange/exploitative. $225 for four LP's and trinkets? BN seems to be really milking the cash cow these days in a lot of ways. Though the upcoming Tyner/Henderson set is very exciting and an essential purchase for me. Edit - Also being discussed here:

My wife and I are HUGE Rory fans!

Underwhelming at this late date despite the reputation (and the sound quality isn't so hot, either), but still an interesting listen for the faithful. I'm a semi-faithful, so it's borderline for me. I'm likely to stick with the original studio albums:

And throw in the Prestige albums. Those were so chopped up, it would be nice to have them in session order.

I do too, a lot.

Huxley saw this coming almost 100 years ago:

Yes, Dan Gould. I checked in with @Gdgray , and he's thankfully OK.

Anyone heard from Dan?
