I much prefer their Warner Bros. material, have always considered "Cathy's Clown" to be one of the great landmark singles of the pre-Beatles era. Bear Family stuff costs a fortune. I agree that it is a really good 4CD set on Rhino ("Heartaches and Harmonies") which covers their entire career, including the sublime "On The Wings of a Nightingale" from 1984, written by some P. McCartney guy for them. Best bang for the buck is probably to pick up the 20 cut Cadence Classics CD on Rhino, then the 50 cut "Walk Right Back" Warner Bros. anthology. You can do all that right now on ebay for under $20, and you'll have everything you need from the golden era. If you want great notes (100+ page book), and a fuller career retrospective into the 80's, go for the 4CD box, under $40 on Discogs.

Looking to trade my International Phonograph CD's of the Carter-Bradford 'Fight for Four' and the Horace Tapscott 'The Giant is Awakened', as my old ears and cheap equipment don't reap the full benefit of the beautiful job done on these by Jonathan, and I'd like someone else to be able to treasure them. Looking for something fair in return that is of interest for either or both, Jazz/Rock/Soul from the 50's/60's/70's. PM if interested. CD's and mini LP packaging in excellent condition.

this LP was one of my earliest jazz purchases, and my introduction to Billy Harper and "Capra Black", which I just kept replaying over and over. Great album. Even Bobbi Humphrey works OK on it.

I don't remember anything on that label having good audio.

I do have the music from that one, acquired at your earlier suggestion, and it is really good. There was also a cut from the Ronnie Mathews on someone's BFT that I enjoyed quite a bit.

I was on the same knife-edge., but fell off in the other direction. Someone sold a used one at a good price here several months ago, and I sort of wish I had jumped on that. But can't justify the full-freight cost. I know it helps Mosaic, but I've helped Mosaic plenty over the past three decades, especially early on when dream sets were coming out with Blue Note stuff not then otherwise available on CD (Jackie McLean, Larry Young, Grant Green, Elvin Jones etc.).

The seller, Declutterstore, used to go by Estocksusa. I've had a number of problems with them badly misgrading the condition of CD's, but they've always made it right.

Just getting a long, live "Katrina Ballerina" alone was enough to pull me in.

I have it, will give it another listen, thanks.

I'll do that on the Sgt. Pepper's. I bought the new one last year and thought it sounded fantastic, but did not A-B it against the original. Of course, they designed it in '67 to be heard in mono, so probably didn't' put as much into the stereo,

Highly recommended!!!

The tunes on the Shaw are not on the other live CD's by this group. so I ordered it and am realling looking forward to it. Also ordered the Elvin Jones and am looking to get the Hubbard. The final Shaw albums on Muse (Setting Standards, Solid, Imagination) were not enjoyable experiences for me, nor was the "In Your Own Sweet Way" album (though maybe I need to revisit them). Maybe just a case of heightened expectations on my part given what had preceded them, but they were really tame affairs to my ears.

What is the net impact of the remix? Are there different lengths to the cuts? Different instruments brought up or down in the mix?

PM sent on $12 Freddie Hubbard Quintet "At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall" Hamburg 1978 Jazz Line NDR $7 Kenny Wheeler- Alan Skidmore Swiss Radio Days Volume 28

40th anniversary edition still gives you best bang for the buck, but this one's certainly inexpensive enough.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm definitely looking at the Elvin.

For me, that's pricey. But that's not my question.

Well, I DID warn you

I'm sure the music on the Shaw is excellent. Question. The disc is pricey. I own a LOT of live Shaw from the 70's/80's. On the margin, does this disc add anything new in terms of understanding/personnel/repertoire to things like the Half Note label releases, or is it just another typically excellent show from the same period? For that matter, same question on the Hubbard. Thx.

Well, yeah. Started listening, and then immediately ordered me one off of discogs, thanks so much!

Good eye. Sure looks like it on the first three. May well all be from the same photo shoot. Standards looks different to me.

I did, but was not overwhelmed by it, so I'd be glad to move it on to another member,

He's done "Mystery of Love" for decades. This rendition of that tune is what made me fall in love with Weston back in the mid-70's, this album being my introduction to him. I bought a cutout of this because of the presence of Billy Harper, who I had discovered on the last Lee Morgan album.

Sort of. I can print using a USB cable, but not wireless. But that is close enough for me - we only occasionally use the printer for my wife's work, and I have an HP inkjet I use for day-to-day.

Astounding that he is so active at 92. Is Roy Haynes (now 93) still performing?
