That's a GREAT buy. I also commend the Dexter Select, the Live Trane, and the Mingus Leader set.

And most still unspoken for.

Tuesday for me also. I just received the Searchers box from them on Friday.

I have several hundred vinyl LP's that no longer have use to me (mainly replaced by CD). I have never really sold vinyl, so cannot quickly grade and price all of them. I am going to list out the Charles Tolliver titles, and if you have interest, please IM me, and we most likely should be able to work something out, either likely a sale or possibly a trade for CD's. I will describe condition when you contact me, All were good enough that they were in my collection, though most were purchased used. I am motivated to move these out, so will not be tough on pricing, though I want the exchange to be fair. Thanks. Strata-East Charles Tolliver – Live at Slugs’ Charles Tolliver - Live at Slugs’.

I have a subjective fondness for 'Coalition' with those killer versions of "Simone" and "Yesterdays". But the BN's are all pretty great. Loved what Jones had the bass players, Wilbur Little and Gene Perla, doing on those BN records.

Yeah, Grossman and Liebman were really young then, especially Grossman, who was like 20 when Lighthouse was recorded. Yet they sound great. I really like the run of Elvin albums on Blue Note, and that is probably my most prized Mosaic of all, as I have not been able to get some of the albums on individual CD.,

I like Chick Corea on Rhodes for sure. Another guy I liked on it was Cedar Walton on those Prestige Blakey albums from the early 70's.

I just want to be able to list and sort what I own (artist, album title, genre) with as little time/effort as possible, not worried about individual songs, record labels, year, personnel. etc. Is there any package out there that makes sense for me?

My takes, YMMV - "Vibrations" is certainly not essential, even for 3 Sounds fans (and I'm not one particularly), has several cuts with Harris on organ rather than piano, and that flat-out doesn't work. I like their earlier work better. The Tyner is great, as are all of his Blue Note's. The Byrd is solid 60's BN hard bop with a nice edge. The Jordan is a highlight of her career, great for what it is. Interesting g/b/d accompaniment. She is much younger on that album than on her other recordings, in her early 30's. The Jordan and Red are solid 50's BN hard bop, though nothing special happens. Jordan had not found his unique voice yet (that came during his time with Mingus).

Hill's "Lift Every Voice" is probably my favorite "With Voices" album. I'm not fond of the genre, but this one is really well done, and well outside the safety zone for those sorts of sessions.

One of my retirement goals (a few years out yet) is to catalogue my collection in excel, where I can list the artist however I think best, can add columns for genre and sub-genre, etc. I played a little bit with the discogs collection feature a few weeks ago, found it just didn't meet my needs. I will probably write out instructions for my heirs on how to optimally liquidate my collection when I'm gone. My daughter says she wants to keep it, but I don't really see that happening.

Amazing, has made the best music of his career over the past 15 years (and I like his earlier stuff). This cut, spoken rather than sung, but with incredible guitar work, literally brought tears to my eyes. This artist is in serious need of reconsideration based on this latter work. '

Just received my shipping notification tonight.

Monk also on hold.

Evans is on hold, Monk still available.

I have Universal boxes of the Complete Riverside Albums of Thelonious Monk (16 CD's) and the Complete Riverside/Milestone Albums of Bill Evans (15 CD's). Each played once. Looking for $60 each shipped in USA ($115 for both) or interesting trade or reasonable offer. PM if interested.

I have not. And no shipping notice yet. Amazon shows it as having just been released last Friday (a sizable delay), so it should be coming soon. They are generally a few days behind Amazon, but they are also $20 cheaper on this box, so worth the wait. I've never had them non-deliver.

Yes, congrats! How do we get the book?

I dutifully own both, don't have any particular need to actually listen to either. Much more likely to pull this 1979 landmark out to give a spin. Ah ah, beep beep!

May not be able to avoid the movie if you have grandkids.

BTW, the DSOTM/Wizard of Oz thing is pretty cool to do, especially the bell on Dorothy's bike.

Deal!
