Earle Warren is pretty great here! Quite rough, with an r&b'ish delivery.

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing @Smith – I put my order in with Soundohm and wrote them a few hours ago, asking about what's going on ... meant to ask them about shipping whatever they already have in stock for a while.

Haven't explored all the others yet, fur "Funny Funky Rib Crib" was an instant love affair for me! (As was the Hal Singer/Jef Gilson, also on Kindred Spirits.)

I won't complain about the CDs (got three, skipped Funny Funky), at the price (12-13€, a bit more for the double) I expected them to look like other recent Souffle Continu reissues – which they do. It was quite clear that to get a lavish package, going vinyl was the option. I'd have been happy about a nice boxed set with booklet and all, too, but it was clear this wouldn't be it, so I don't quite understand the complaints here, I'm afraid.

Most helpful, thanks!

I know ... would have bought it at twice that price!

Just in case, over here in yurp, a.it has the set for 20€ Looking forward a lot to having these concerts in their entirety and in good sound, with good presentation.

Got mine a few days ago ... with two discs five and no disc six - hope the replacement will arrive soon.

Looks like you're right ... tracklisting for disc 4 via Discogs - #4-10 look like that bonus material: Dalet 4-1 Midbar 4-2 Mahlah 4-3 Zenan 4-4 Paran (rehearsal) 4-5 Mikreh (Alternate Take) 4-6 Hafla'ah (insert) 4-7 Shebuah (insert) 4-8 Tiferet (rehearsal) 4-9 Avelut (false start / take 1) 4-10 Avelut (take 2) But the bonus release I meant is this, which is a double disc set, mostly consisting of alternate takes, it seems (I only spot-checked): https://www.discogs.com/de/master/1567371-Masada-Sanhedrin-1994-1997-Unreleased-Studio-Recordings Seems there is no overlap, the new material (wonder what "insert" means) actually new, but the "Sanhedrin" set not part of the box?

How can it contain 10 discs, all 10 albums in their original constellation, plus an hour or rare (note: not previously unreleased – there was a separate bonus release too if I remember correctly?) additional music?

Very nice photo @Chuck Nessa! I've got that shirt, too... And a few more bought via Bandcamp (two different Strata Records, Analogue Africa, Pi, Out of Your Head Records, Kassa Overall, Alan Braufman – usually you have to act fast if S or M sizes won't do for you). With the increasing temperatures in summer and the lack of a/c at the place I work, these have become my usual attire at work.

Thanks, ordered!

Just had a bout with the grim reaper myself ... and the news of Schweizer's passing really had me weep. I've heard her at least a dozen times, mostly solo and duo (Favre, Moholo, Baron included), saw her at many, many concerts (a rare trait among musicians!) and 20+ years ago spent a couple of hours at her kitchen table, discussing her work and Swiss/European free music as part of an Intakt portrait a friend and myself produced for a small local radio. Fondest memories!

Fine with me! Really excited about the V-Disc set!

Just read about a 11 CD V-Disc set being scheduled for ca. fall... anybody know more?

Very sad indeed - heard from Niko elsewhere. Thanks a lot for sharing those two photos @ghost of miles

Thanks - too bad though! Obviously Childs might still be playing - what I meant to express: some bits are not exactly with the line-up provided for the entire set.

Waiting for my (CD) copy to crawl here ... I wonder, does the physical set have line-ups for the final tracks that are not w/Childs (there's a sax at some place, too)?

Sad to hear. Enjoyed the recent "Never a Dull Moment" set a lot.

I had my bill from Fedex (ca. 35€) in the mailbox today, about 2 weeks after delivery of the box ... as usual. Also I hate that Mosaic are using Fedex, as they have no delivery options other than you have to be home (which luckily I was on that day ... but I've had a few ridiculous Fedex deliveries in the past year - they're basically operating without any of the usual service option, no depositing when I'm not there, no pick-up other than about 5 points in the entire country, all around airports or freight hubs ... no option if you don't drive, and even then that would be a hassle). So far only played through semi-attentively the first two discs from the middle block (Rosenkrantz plus a bit of live material) - and loved what I heard.

Haha ... I lent my latin teacher at high school the Coltrane Village Vanguard 1961 four disc set as well once 😂 Other than smoking and listening to jazz I was doing pretty much the same things as you at that age (not Duran Duran obviously ... more like RHCP, Prince, Portishead, Roni Size, Tricky ... others would be into Brit Pop at that time but with a few exceptions that never spoke to me).

Started around 16, I think, so I've been buying them for close to 30 years soon. Read a review of the Tristano/Konitz/Marsh set and simply had to get that. First though I had to figure out how to deal with international money orders. I paid those at the post office and it took 1-2 months for them to arrive, then 1-2 months for the Mosaic parcel to arrive at my end ... I proceeded like that for several years, until I got my own credit card, probably had more than a dozen from 2-3 more orders by then (the Basie Roulette live, Jacquet, Hamilton, Guiffre, Morgan were others I remember buying early on).

The fact that Kenny Barron *was* interviewed is killing me! In my book he had to do that a year and a half ago:
