  1. 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):
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. That is the link to the McMaster Straight No Filter, with two sessions. The Hill cuts are on the McMaster No Room For Squares.
  5. 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
  6. 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:
  7. My wife and I are HUGE Rory fans!
  8. 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:
  9. And throw in the Prestige albums. Those were so chopped up, it would be nice to have them in session order.
  10. Huxley saw this coming almost 100 years ago:
  11. Yes, Dan Gould. I checked in with @Gdgray , and he's thankfully OK.
  12. Anyone heard from Dan?
  13. Landfall was nearest to Siesta Key, a beautiful beach near Sarasota. Maybe 45 minutes south of Tampa?
  14. Is Crowdfunding a possible approach? How does @AllenLowe manage to do his releases?
  15. He was still playing really well at that point, especially on the earliest albums on that box. These were recorded right after his magnificent run of Steeplechase albums. The Village Vanguard double album with Woody Shaw's group is absolutely essential, and you get the latest remaster in this box. Highly recommended in every regard.
  16. RIP. I recommend this set if you're interested in her work:

    Jackie McLean

    Thanks. Looks to be only subscription-based at this point.
  18. Expensive day, but prices I couldn't pass up...
  19. Supporting musicians include Richard Davis, Mike Mainieri, John Tropea. Same era as "Season of Lights", so largely redundant, but quite beautiful.

    Jackie McLean

    Where do I find that?
  21. The Mingus is a really nice set.
