Agreed, sent Rooster Ties a link. It is readily available, if you know where to look.

Sorry guys, I was unavailable for most of the past week. Spoontaneous got track number 4. It is indeed Junko Onishi. Thom got the track 10 on the 3rd disc. It is Odean Pope with Prince Lasha. And track 5 as well, Dave Holland and Bare Phillips. Also, Track 21 on the second disc is In a Silent Way. Track 14 as well. And Track 12, it is Alvin Feidler. Track 10 is Jesse Sharps. Thanks guys, I appreciate your responses! Reveals will come up in a week or so.

Received the 4 cd set from amazon uk. Listened to disc 1 so far, and sounds great, but haven't made any comparisons.

9. Not contemporary. But it is Jazz Messengers influenced -- when Horace Silver was in the band. 10. Two sax players - one well known as part of the new wave of jazz in the 60s, the other had his own choir. 11. A contemporary of Miles, but very much his one. This is from a great album from the 70s, I think done in Europe. 12. Yes, he should sound familiar. This was playing when I walked into DMG in New York one afternoon, and bought it on the spot. An excellent mixture of post bop and improvised jazz.

Thanks for your thoughtful response! 1. Right, it is the Sun Ra tune, but not by Sun Ra. It is by a very good musician who did an entire album as a tribute to Sun Ra. 2. You are very, very warm. It is 50's "third stream," done by one of my all time favorite groups. There is a Mosaic set of their music. 3. This track is from the 70s, European, and I picked this track not only for the music but also I have something in common with the title of the track. 4. Right, it is the Mingus tune, but not by Mingus. Done fairly recently, as a matter of fact, with a nice assembly of musicians. 5. There are two bassists on this track. One played with Miles. 6. It is European, and a fine album. 7. Also European, from a nice compilation of rare jazz from the mid 60s to the mid 70s. 8. You are really warm. But don't think so much of Coltrane as Joe Farrell, when he played with Elvin. In fact, this is an homage to that group. I'm doing a review of it for the Free Jazz Blog.

Tom, Happy Birthday!

Yes, I understand. GIven what happened with the metadata still on the first two discs I thought it necessary to do a third,which has no info on them.

up?

Received the Larry Young "Contrasts" disc. Again, better than the Mosaic in that there is more depth and clarity. Haven't heard this session in a long while, and forgot how damn good this is. Up there with Unity.

The miles Davis in the 70s track is from the 70s and has a couple of guys who played with miles.

Track 4 is Meditations, and it isn't Mingus. There are no Muppets on any of the tracks.

It is Enlightenment but it isn't Sun Ra.

Close enough for me. Pulled the trigger on it, as it looks like they really paid attention to the selections and versions (lots of remastered mono, for example).

Thanks. I try to create a story with these mixes, usually for driving, as a matter of fact. If you take a peek, great, if not, that's fine too. Don't forget the third disc which has been confirmed to be all anonymous. Track 21 is from a great album.

What about this set, just released?

Sent PMs, fingers crossed.

Whipped up a THIRD disc. No tags. If this shows up, I will be baffled.

Received the Eric Dolphy this afternoon. Yeah, this one stands out as the best version on cd to date. Crystal clear, like it was recorded today.

So the new vinyls will be from digital masters?

I think I am going to whip up one more disc tonight or tomorrow. I have an idea of how to bring in the files without having any music player do an auto ID of the tracks. Everything is so automated that it is very hard to make things anonymous. Until then, at least enjoy the mixes.

To answer the DMG question, yes they are cd-rs.

I had the lp, and it was very good. The SHM comes pretty darn close.

"Backordered"? Suuurrrre.......

Thanks, and again, I don't know what happened since I had stripped, renamed and checked for possible tags before uploading.
