felser

Count me in for the CD releases of both the Cannonball sets, especially the 1972. I'm a soft "no" (maybe could be persuaded at some price point) on the McDuff (repertoire is uninspiring, as is the lack of ID for some of the musicians) and the Mann (Ruth Price vocals on the 1966 date, not familiar with her).

Count me in for all 29!

Also in for this, as well as the Lateef and the Waldron/Lacy. I guess April 26 is going to be an expensive day for the Felser household!

I'm also in, love any version of "Snake Out".

Yes it is, but should have been so much better. Why on earth did Joel Dorn sabotage those last two tracks (on a live quartet date) with studio strings, horns, background vocals?!?. Wish they would reissue that album with Dorn's adulterations removed. As far as this new set, count me all in for the CD release!

I've generally done $50/year on the past (think I didn't this past year because of the donations function being down), glad to do any of the numbers being kicked around except for Mr. Sangrey's grand solution.

Great album, great group. Minnie Riperton was amazing, but there was much more to them than just her.

1975 studio recording, and she sounds great. Good supporting small group includes Ronnell Bright and George Morrow.

I find that Allmusic, Discogs, and Wikipedia all have specific uses for my music research depending on what I am looking for, and I actively use all three.

I pay the $12/year for the ad/popup free version. I use the site a lot (as well as using Discogs a lot), so it's worth the 3 cents a day to me.

Also being discussed on the board here:

Plenty of help for you to do that out on the internet.

Working fine for me also. Try clearing your cache.

Me neither.

I've heard the "Africa" cut, and it's fantastic IIRC. I'm in for the CD set, and so glad it's getting released.

To me, the Jones scores were hit or miss - I recently sold off a CD set of them. But the score to The Pawnbroker is magnificent for sure.

There have been discussions on the board about how Mosaic secondary market prices have normalized.

I'll also get the CD's, sounds like quite a sonic upgrade.

Johnny Smith and Johnny "Hammond" Smith. Lonnie Smith and Lonnie Liston Smith.

Kenny Drew. Thelonious Monk, Harold Land, Nat Adderley, and their Jr.'s.

Quite poorly in some cases, better in others. Their one Carlos Garnett reissue was a 40 minute compilation with 30% of that taken by "Taurus Woman". Their only Charles Earland releases were compilations which cherry-picked criminally missing 70's dates, etc. And their artwork on their releases was often atrocious. They desecrated Woody Shaw's greatest work. But they did get things like Roy Brooks' 'The Free Slave' back in print. But the original Muse CD's, when available, are always preferable.
