Re: Mosaic - It's doctrinaire in the extreme to boycott Mosaic on the basis of the packaging , but that being said , I never have understood why "the Mosaic treatment" means ( at least with respect to the big box-sets ) being respectful to the original artists and music but not to the original cover art and the original liner notes . As mentioned , a lot of the covers are indeed available online , but the same can't be said of the liners which , although often far from illuminating , are sometimes very worthwhile .

Let My Children Hear Music !

Velvet Moon , the old Harry James hit ? Not really a jazz standard though .

Speaking of James Newton , has anyone heard the record he did with Clovis Bordeaux ? It was his first recording I think . It's on his own label , Flute Music Productions .

Yes , more recommendations here . My Herbie Mann recommendation would be the one I most recently listened to , that being Latin Mann . This has Herbie fronting a big band with Oliver Nelson arranging and conducting tunes like Manteca , Señor Blues and Jive Samba . Harder to find ( read : vinyl only ) but worthwhile are Paul Horn's Impressions Of Cleopatra and Lloyd McNeill's Asha and Washington Suite .

I could easily post a hundred black & white covers ( think of the Norgrans and Pablos alone ! ) but I'll post this one because I like the cover and the music , and because Tom likes architectural covers ( remember that thread ?! )

I like these as well... Clora Bryant at the Lighthouse in 1954 Shorty Rogers at Shelly Manne's house in 1954

Here are some photos from the archive I hadn't seen : Jess Stacy in 1944 Pee Wee Russell in 1944

You didn't say , but I'm betting you think the "one hard swinging tune" on Honeysuckle Breeze is Emil Richard's Blues For Hari . If so , I agree that it's the best thing on the album , but since I also like the version of Naima , this album doesn't strictly speaking fit in this thread for me . Rural Still Life is better than Honeysuckle Breeze insofar as it avoids the Gary McFarland-like pop pandering , but for me it's pretty close to fitting this thread as well . I think With Respect To Coltrane is the best thing on it , and the version of Body and Soul is decent , but after that you've got four 'originals' ( including one inspired by Freedom Jazz Dance and one by Maiden Voyage ) that don't do anything for me .

Youch!!!! That just don't seem right. That's because it isn't . C$0.78.9/liter is not US$0.98.9/liter , it's US$0.63/liter at today's exchange rate . So that's roughly US$2.50 a gallon .

What , my thread on this topic wasn't good enough ? http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=44461

While The Montgomery Brothers In Canada was recorded live at a Vancouver club , the audience was apparently so small and undemonstrative that the applause from a Cal Tjader concert was used instead ! The session has been reissued on a Fantasy CD called Groove Brothers under Wes Montgomery's name , where it has been shorn of all applause altogether .

J.J. Johnson In Person on Columbia Cannonball Adderley Mercy , Mercy , Mercy on Capitol ( studio audience ) Joe Daley Trio At Newport '63 on RCA ( half-studio , half-live )

I don't see the map. Where is it? It's France. Nah , France is more like this :

He and Big John Patton are on Grant Green's forgettable Am I Blue . My favorite Henderson with organ dates are Unity , Leaving This Planet and Johnny Hammond Smith's Higher Ground on Kudu .

I've been wanting to hear this session for a long time now, but it was never reissued ... not even in Japan . Not true , those four tracks were reissued on this CD : http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/record.php?record_id=333 The original 7-inch EP looks like this :

Still had the ad in my cache , so here it is for the curious -

Somebody needs to put all 6 1/2 hours of The Subject Is Jazz on DVD .
