Hank Jones Solo Piano CD on Jazz Alliance label. CD and artwork in excellent condition. This goes for $99 and up on Amazon, not listed in Ebay or Half. Recorded in 1979. I certainly don't consider it to be a $99 CD, but don't know how to properly value it. Anyways, willing to sell or trade to a Hank Jones fan who would like to have it for something mutually beneficial. Please contact john.felser@verizon.net if interested, thx. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:wxfoxqlgldde

She didn't mean that much to me.

BTW, Daedelus also has the Joe Henderson Milestone Box (8 CD's) for $60. Amazing set, great price.

This is a 40 CD box set entitled "The Duke - Edward Kennedy Ellington". It is of European origin (Trumpets of Jericho label) and contains "the complete works from 1924-1947". It has about 800 cuts on it. I've listened to/sampled everything on it. Sound quaility is fine, session info is present. Packaging is otherwise pretty spartan. CD's are in 20 thinline double cases, which have front and back inserts, and all of that is in a big box. Everything is in great shape, listened to once. The outer box is somewhat beat up, but is really pretty worthless anyways as it adds nothing in the way of aesthetics or info. Too much music, I won't really play it again as Ellington doesn't kick in for me until around the mid-30's, and I have smaller sets with a more succinct selection which I will reference instead. My preference is to trade the set, but I will also consider selling it. Not sure of the present value of the set - I know it was a budget issue, but don't believe it is in print at this point.

Does the Mahavishnu have the remastered/bonus cut versions of the first two albums? In general, does this set have the best versions of the albums, or just straight reissues?

Sold to Lon, thx.

Up. Set still available.

Anybody know if there's still a Blue Note? I wished them luck in a mail regarding a proposition for a Mosaic Select, and in his recent (well probably two weeks by now) reply, MC said they didn't know anything about their future yet... I guess it takes a while to evaluate things and decide how to milk that cow... Mosaic has obviously been milking a lot of other cows for a long time. They aren't an EMI property, so I'm sure their future is fine. They really do need to get on that Braxton Arista set, though! We can hope for another Norah Jones-type 9,000,000 sales go-rilla for them, to pay the bills for the reissues. There's still at least a half-dozen titles from their heyday that haven't been re-reissued as RVG's :-)

Offer has been accepted, thanks.

I have two of the Randy Weston Mosaic Select set. Would like to trade one for another Mosaic Select I don't already have, or else trade for other CD's of equivalent value. Primary interests are Bird/Diz through 70's jazz, 50's-70's rock, soul/r&b, folk, blues. Also music DVD's and well done documentary DVD's such as Ken Burns, etc. Please PM me or email me at john.felser@verizon.net if interested.

Traded to Face of the Bass, thanks!

Both boxes on hold, thx.

I have the 7 CD box set Blues, Bop and Boogie - The Complete 1940's Mercury Sessions available for sale or trade. This is the one in a box that looks like an old radio.

PM or email to john.felser@verizon.net if interested.

Yep. Listen to the sample of the Poland concert on the website. We're not talking "Cry of Hunger" or "Black Spiritual of Love" here...

Harper's been selling his MPS album through his fan club, though if you're just agreeing--it is, indeed, the ****. I'm not even familiar with that album! Anyone have a link for the fan club, where I can get the CD? thx. Search through www.billyharper.com--it will take you to the fan club (see image on the bottom of the page). They show it in the discography, but don't have a link to buy it like they do with most of his titles. Do we know for sure if this has been out on CD? It's the only title by him I don't own with the exception of the Live in Poland DVD, which scares me because of the choral stuff, orchestra, etc.

That is THE Sugarcane Harris album. I am really glad to see it on CD. I'd like to see Hannibal Peterson's 1975 MPS album on CD also.

It must be really (really really really really) old then!

We enjoyed the concert immensely. I gave my thoughts on it in a thread in the Live Music section

Spectacular show last night at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 18 piece orchestra with some heavy talent. The names I recognized/remember were Ingrid Jensen (who took solo honors to my ears), Steve Wilson, Rich Perry, Donny McCaslin, Charles Pillow,Frank Kimbrough (who was fabulous), Jay Anderson, and Clarence Penn, but all the musicians were excellent. The compositions and arrangements were stunning, my favorites being 'El Viaje' and 'Hang Gliding'. Schneider was very gracious and compelling in her presentation, and the musicians seemed to have much joy and dignity. One of the best live musical experiences my wife and I have had. It was great to meet LWayne in person and to see Ron S and AlanLankin and Joe there. Very thankful for the Philadelphia Museum of Art putting on this series (other shows I have attended, both also very satisfying, were Eric Alexander/Harold Mabern and some group named Organissimo), and for the grants which enable them to present it for free with standard $14 museum admission. There were many hundreds of people there, well attended. This was the first time the Orchestra had ever played in Philly - hopefully they will return soon!
