Also new albums this week from Neil Young, Patti Smith, and Joe Walsh. Have we been transported back to 1975 or something?

Saw her back in the day (ca. 1976-1977-1978) as the opening artist at one of the concerts Leo Gadson produced at the Ethical Society in Philly, and she was really good even back then in her early 20's. Wonderful series of concerts, though I don't imagine he made a penny on them. Juju played right around the time of their 'African Rhythms' album, and like 20 people showed up. Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, George Adams/Hannibal Peterson, Jackie McLean. Monette Sudler opened for one of the shows. Others I can't remember through the haze, but great stuff, low ticket prices, and a beautiful hall.

going to the 70's, George Duke, Jean Carn, Patrice Rushen

Heard the title cut on Siriux/XM. While I could hear the "classic" influences, it just didn't sit right with me, but that may just take me hearing it more and getting used to it (the title cut to Springsteen's "The Rising" was that way for me). I'm a big fan of the ca. 2000-2005 Brian Wilson "Live at the Roxy Theatre", "Pet Sounds Live" and "Smile" albums.

I'll put in another vote for the earliest stuff, the Evidence Reissues and the Delmark and Savoy material.

My very favorite Dolphy album of all. I would not be willing to pay the going rate ($150-$200) for the Kirk box (I sold mine for about that much 10-12 years ago, and it still goes for that on Amazon Marketplace), but it's worth picking up the individual sessions, almost all of which are available at better prices.

This one seems to have disappeared. Anyone know if it's still coming out, and if so when?

Pm sent on McCoy Tyner - Inception/Reaching Fourth (Impulse!) remastered 2011 reissue $5 Sonny Rollins - Complete Sonny Rollins in Japan (Victor) two discs, 2010 issue of a September 30, 1973 concert, K2 HD mastering, no obi - I don't think it comes with one $20

Has anyone received these that can respond on the remastering? I'd probably spring for the Mingus and the Weather Report if they are indeed remastered.

PM sent on Dexter and Hancock RVG's.

I think you have this right. Concord has the potential to create great sets (the Ray Charles ABC Singles box being a good recent example) but. . . why should they in jazz in this day and age of cd devaluation. My understanding/memery is that the last of them came out under Concord, but had already been in the pipeline from Fantasy. Concord has conceived nothing.

That jazz lab set is really nice, I have it and am very happy with it, excellent price also.

Yes, but we want someone to blame... The shame is that Fantasy was actually starting to do some credible reissue packages (Stitt's Bits, Red Garland at the Prelude, the three Coltrane boxes, the Miles Quintet box, the Evans VV box, etc.) before they sold the catalog to Concord. So much more that could have been done along those lines. Now we're back to this. This, and "..... Plays for Lovers", and the beloved Andorrans doing the only intelligent reissue packaging.

Not that I can see on Amazon, CD Universe,or Dusty Groove.

Yes

PM sent on Tubby Hayes - Inventivity (Candid) 2-discs, one with Cat Anderson/Rol Ericson the other with S.Nistico/A.Stinson $8

Wanted to mention that the Alice Darr session was the "newfound treasure" for me on this set. Lowe and Duvivier had also done a session with Sarah Vaughan the previous year. Darr is a different type of singer, but a very effective one, and this is a really nice set if you like singer/guitar/bass. Alice Darr - I Only Know How To Cry 11 - I Only Know How To Cry (Moskatel - Lowe) (0:00) 12 - Yes, He’s Gone (Moskatel) (0:00) 13 - Love Does Funny Things (Neiburg - Woode) (0:00) 14 - Leave Me Alone (Moskatel - Lowe) (0:00) 15 - Under This Smile (Stride - Deane) (0:00) 16 - There He Goes (Varone) (0:00) 17 - The Lost And The Lonely (Lowe - Lowe) (0:00) 18 - I Can’t Find My Way Home (Slavska - Ashby) (0:00) 19 - It’s A Lonely World (Moskatel - Lowe) (0:00) 20 - Try, Try Again (Maurer) (0:00) 21 - Seasons Lost Love (Maurer - Fischbein) (0:00) 22 - You’re So Far Away From Me (Riviera - Canton - Dinton) (0:00) Recorded May 18th, 1962 A&R Studio, New York City, Engineer Phil Ramone Alice Darr, Voice - Mundell Lowe, Guitar - George Duvivier, bass.

and the Leon Thomas titles ("The Leon Thomas Album" has never been on CD, and the others have been difficult to find) and the Larry Coryell "Fairyland" Montreux recording. And there were other interesting titles floating in and out of the periphery of my memory, such as Arnie Lawrence, Chico Hamilton, Harold Alexander...

That tends to happen to me as well, no matter who's doing the song. I openly cried the first time I heard/saw this when the 9/11 concert was broadcast.

Just received an email from Mosaic that they are selling individual DVD's now. http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MDVD-2006

Should be able to get a few dollars for them at used stores or here or dustygroove buys used CD's via mail. I might even have some interest in a few of them if you want to IM me.

Both my shipments arrived fine, thanks.

I paid, I think, $49 for mine from one of the online clubs several years ago and have never had a shred of buyer's remorse. Tough set for storage though!

"Blue Monk"
