When I worked at the Electric Fetus (89-91), knowing about Mosaic (which we didn't even sell) was the test of whether you were really a jazz fan or not. I'd first learned about them before I moved to MN because the Multnomah County Library in Portland , OR bought them and I soon came to trust that pretty much anything they did was worth checking out even though I couldn't afford to buy much. I had friends in MN who would call me if they saw used Mosaics at better than new prices. I currently own 11 big boxes, 3 Selects, and 3 singles, both LPs & CDs, if I counted right. Wish I owned more They did good work, in every sense. And even where the material is available elsewhere (and often for less $), I would usually rather have the Mosaics, unless my other choice is BN 1st pressings in mono... But I haven't bought many used recently (and probably should've taken my cheaper option on the last one I bought), and haven't bought a new one in forever.

What if BN & HH had compromised and split the publishing? Everyone makes $, BN doesn't need to sell to Liberty, and the world is a better place?

You done good, lots of lovely music there.

They are distinctive, so you can see them from across the room and guess what they are even if you can't read them.

Put me in the dig his playing, hate the covers camp. His sound reminds me of Arthur Blythe, only fatter but still keeping an edge. The library had a few but I need to go buy some.

Not much difference, is there?

I got my first Pfizer shot Wed. Little to no side effects.

Opera companies of the world be missing the boat by not stepping up to fund this.

Got my first shot of Pfizer yesterday.

Lonnie's fondness for bands with tenor and baritone gave his records a distinctively bottom heavy feel. And Cuber is always fun to hear.

I would think it would be any thing you play yourself.

As I think I've mentioned here before, one of the things I do to use up excess time and stay out of trouble is write things for my own amusement and one thing I've been working on is compiling an imaginary box set of BNGTs (see title(. It started out as just figuring out just how many son of Sidewinder tracks did they record at BN, and then expanded to include the third cousins, twice removed (anything with a vamp kept through the solos, no walking bass, no shuffles). Well now I've gotten to the revival of the label from the '80s til now and I can't think of much since I don't know this period as well as the vintage stuff. I own some and have a few titles in mind, but any listening suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks and take care.

RIP, at his best he was a force to be reckoned with.

I can remember reading this, or something very like it (there was a lot) back in the day and thinking 'really, you think VSOP or whatever is playing more/better than the SGQ or what its members did for BN back in the day, have you lost your freaking mind?' It was wishful thinking/non-thinking at best, and mostly just hype.

SRV's sole appearance on Blue Note, but the best cuts are with Sco.

Since Scientology affected who he payed with that had to eventually affect how he playing too. As did all that 'communicating' rubbish. Big fan of the early sideman and leader dates up to about '72 - Blue Michell, Getz, Joe Farrell era RTF, trios, etc. Very hit and miss for me after that... but that's hardly a unique pattern, there are lots of artists who are really on for a few years and then hit and miss after that, he did more good to great stuff than most and had his own voice. And yes Scientology is a cult and the're all evil. My taste in fusin' generally is mostly the earlier stuff and selective even there, much bigger fan of other subgenres - soul jazz, hard bop, early Stax, Chicago Blues, Honky Tonk, Western Swing, etc.

That sounds old fashioned to me, I mean old for 1965. Like a more polished version of what R&B and straight blues drummers were doing in the '50s.

Bass clarinet? Oh, everybody plays those now, whatcha need is a bass tarogato: (10) Tárogató-addiction . Gregus Pal bass tarogato. « Contradanza »P De Riviera - YouTube and, yes, there is a contra-bass too.

All of it? It's hard to know til you actually hear it.

Halibrand wheels were an option, rarely ordered so these may have been retrofitted. I think the paint is factory, or close to it. My Lark is close to that color, but it's definitely been repainted and was a different shade of green to start with.

You should know by now, Studebaker is the G.O.A.T.! (Along with Hank Mobley, of course.)

My favorite V-8, ok this one isn't mine but the one in my '62 Studebaker looks a lot like this only not so clean.

He lived in the Department of Motor Vehicles!?
