Note that, in each box, the songs that are included in a larger work ("Melloditty" in "Tonal group") or have another name ("Mellotone" ---> "In a mellotone") have no number. So, "Merrily rolling along" is placed between 16.- "Merrie mending" and 17.- "Merry Christmas", but no relation with them.

I emailed them this morning to confirm that the message I received was coming from Mosaic. It was, and Cindy quickly replied. Everything´s been solved now. Another for the Mosaic Customer Service. My order will ship today.

Just bought a couple of Candids: -"Max Roach: We insist! Freedom now suite" (I previously had a CD-R and needed a copy of this masterwork) -"Newport Rebels" (Little Jazz side by side with Dolphy and Knepper in one track!!!) And Von Freeman´s "The great divide" on Premonition Records. Also a couple of DVD´s: -"The sound of jazz" -Duke Ellington: "The big band feeling"

You lucky guy! Please, report back.

You´re right, Mike. Listed as "Merry Mending".

Thanks for the comments and for the Djangomusic.com information. Just placed an order.

If the photo on the cover was taken while playing this new material, it´s late, very late Tete (I´d say later than 1995, probably even 1997, the year of his death). But this is just a supposition. BTW: volume 2 on this collection is dedicated to saxophonist Pedro Iturralde.

Here´s the cover:

It´s a 2 CD release on RTVE-Música (the label from Spanish public TV and radio) with unissued Tete Montoliu material. I still don´t know anything more about it, but will receive a review copy in a few days. It is the first volume of a collection called "Jazz en España", that will pay tribute to the main Spanish jazz artists (and non-Spanish artists that contributed to Spanish jazz scene), bringing to light unreleased stuff from RNE vaults.

Thanks, Mike. At least this time Lord has changed something when copying from Bruyninckx: "vocal choir" for "female vocal group"! I knew the wonderful site you linked. It´s a listing of an amazing collection of Ellingtonia. Here´s the exact link where "Merrie Mending" is mentioned (Music Manuscripts, box 219): http://americanhistory.si.edu/archives/d53011am.htm

After consulting Timner´s discography, Ellington´s autobiography, Strateman´s book and Lambert´s listeners guide, I haven´t found any version of this 1953 Ellington composition by the orchestra or any small Ellingtonians ensemble. I haven´t got Massagli´s New DESOR. Lord CD-Rom shows this Nina Simone session as the only recorded version of the tune (incorrectly listed as "Merry mending"): [s6503-4] Nina Simone Nina Simone sings Ellington: Nina Simone (vcl,p) acc by big band incl. strings + The Malcolm Dodds Singers (vocal choir) New York, 1963 I got it bad and that ain't good (*) Colpix CP425, Rhino R2-72472 [CD] Do nothin' till you hear from me - Hey, Buddy Bolden - Merry mending - You better know it - I like the sunrise - Solitude (*) - The gal from Joe's - Satin doll - It don't mean a thing (*) - Something to live for - Note: Colpix CP425(mono) = SCP425(stereo). (*) These titles also on Roulette CDP7-98584-2 [CD]. All above titles also on Pye (Jap)XM-139-Y, UPS-2032Y. Does anyone know another recorded version of this tune? Bruyninckx? Thanks in advance!

Any relation with this IAJRC release?: Oscar Pettiford: First Bass Rare Recordings and Concert Dates, 1953-1960 From IAJRC website:

Thanks, Hans.

Just received this mail from (supposedly) Mosaic Records re my recent order for the Byrd/Adams boxset: Since I had never received this kind of messages from Mosaic and phishing is so usual these days, I am bit unconfident. My credit card limit hasn´t been exceeded, the expiration date is not near, and I think I entered my credit card number correctly. But before I make them a call, I want to know if any of you has ever received this kind of messages from Mosaic, if it´s Cindy who sends these mails, and if the sender is csr@mosaicrecords.com, as in the one I received. Thanks in advance! Agustín

I don't think it's the same. I have a very poor transfer of the film on dvd-r and the tune times out less than 2 minutes. It appears to be performed live on the film (a night-club scene). Being able to watch OP play is very cool, (likewise with Hawk but he's not so rare on film) but the sound on my transfer is lousy. ← Sorry if my post misled you: I was meaning that probably the three tracks I mentioned contained the same version. If your version times out less than 2 minutes, we´re talking about a different one. OP is Oscar Pettiford?

Bette Davis Miles Davis Buddy Miles

Not sure if it´s as performed in the film "The Crimson Canary" (and I don´t have access to my Lord CD-Rom here), but "Hollywood Stampede" is included in the following three CDs, probably the same version (according to track timings): -Classics 926: Chronogical CH 1945 -Ocium OCM 008: Hollywood Sessions: The entire story of a group -Capitol 92596: Hollywood Stampede

Full report here (just in case you want to read 126 pages) http://multimedia.olympic.org/pdf/en_report_952.pdf

So, there´s a boxset. I´ve only seen them as separate discs, on ebay, for around 9 or 10 dollars each.

You, bad patriot!!!
