"Kucheza Blues" by Parlan (with Booker Ervin!) is a favourite ... will need to check out a few others mentioned, but generally I don't feel much of a need for Weston covers--he covered the ground himself pretty well and pretty thoroughly

Oh no ... anyone knows if he actually played those concerts in Europe in May? I was in Padova (hearing Chicago London Underground) the night he was supposed to play some 20 or 25 kilometres away. Glad to have seen him in concert twice - once about 10 years back in fantastic shape with his trio (Blake/Clarke), the second time more recently in duo with Billy Harper. His music has become very, very dear to me over the years - much of it wasn't very easy to acquire (or cost a bit too much for my budget 20 years ago), but eventually, among other things, the whole run of his Gitanes/Verve/Universal France albums and much more has been collected.

Well, with the accent in the e, it's indeed and actually "Roe-Shay" -- Oops, that was from 2004? Sorry ... smartphone playing tricks on me ...

I'd be in I guess, though expectinga bit of a roller and coaster with some bumps to decorate ... This, too - Coral, 1967:

@mjazzg Did I mention how envious I am of you having been there? I can relate to not buying the disc ... I was at Lacy's late and totally wonderful solo concert in Zurich, later released on Intakt, and while I did buy the CD, I never listened to it (and I think I must have misplaced it by now ... kind of on purpose).

Well, in my case it relates to one concert experience, in 2016 I think, when he guested with Decoy (Hawkins on organ, Edwards and Steve Noble) in Italy ... that night, he channelled Coltrane for sure. I remember chatting with Noble about just that. I heard Parker several times (twice in duo with Guy, once with Guy's New Orchestra, several times with the Schlipp trio with both Lovens and Lytton, Globe Unity in Berlin last year, and the Decoy concert - that's probably it, not quite sure though), and I don't generally feel like that - but I feel like he's mellowed a bit in recent years and he's making even better use of his gorgeous tenor sound in teh course of it, going back to his jazz roots. @JSngry if you're staring to check out Parker for real, in addition to discs mentioned and other classics (i.e. "At the Vortex", "Saxophone Solos", "Topography of the Lungs", "Filu e Ferru" - all highly recommended), don't miss out on this, a fantastic sounding disc (thanks @Alexander Hawkins for the recommendation ): -- Oh, and the NoBusiness Parker/Guy/Lytton set from the Maya festival is amazing, too! Hate having missed out on this, when it took place 15 or 20 minutes by train from here!

good set ... have had this longer than the Roulette one, and I may actually prefer it, Bird or not (don't mess with Garner!)

Hm, okay ... maybe I'll get a chance to sample it someplace. Thanks all!

Now is that good or bad?

Kind of going the crowdfunding route ... fine with me if it helps them go on!

I know there are offers around ... would end up around 100-120 bucks with shipping and taxes and custom fees, I guess. At that rate I'd prefer the Mosaic treatment (including the sessions to 1952, which at least in some cases on the long-players were programmed in various ways, thus the "album" concept is not beyond any doubt).

@chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez check this out: https://www.bsnpubs.com/new/deegee.pdf not nearly complete (yet) though ... but I guess they'll add more that site keeps growing. It's neslted under Savoy Records: https://www.bsnpubs.com/new/savoy.html

I know ... but I'm not old enoughto have been able to get that one.

So "John Coltrane Plays While My Lady Sleeps" dhould really be "John Coltrane Plays While His Lady Sleeps"? Feels like we have some history to rewrite ...

"but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"

CD Japan announces a new Brad Mehldau/Charlie Haden release, "Long Ago and Far Away" -- anyone knows more about this? http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UCCM-1249?s_ssid=e425bd5b71876d2eea The only thing I can read there is live and 2007-11 which may be the recording date?

Thanks @miles65 - so not that much ... and it does seem the 1956-62 period was a little less busy, all in all.

Well, generally I'd rather assume that selling 2000 (and not 5000) is more ore less what Mosaic usually did in the past 10 years. (Lots of "running low" I got were in the 1500-2000 range of numbers, sometimes in the 2000-2500 - I know they didn't sell them in sequence, but I'd assume they'd produced only 2000 or 2500 respectively, in these cases). The question would rather be: do we all worry so much and/or is Herman still so popular that this may sell faster than usual? One thing I'd still really love, as Sony has cared sh*t: more, thoroughly done and complete Ellington sets (i.e Columbia forties to earlly fifities and Columbia 1956-62), closing the gap up to the Reprise set. And I'd also love a late Ellington box, but I guess that one would be difficult legally (Fantasy, Warner, Storyville etc., Duke's own productions sold to whomever ...) - Ellington boxes were, at least in earlier times, sold in greater numbers than most (was the Reprise an edition of 10'000? I guess the Columbia Small and Big Band sets had lower numbers, the later is on the way out, anyone got one recently?)

Nice, thanks for sharing!

The wording of that talkative piece of sh*t that pretends to be a news bit suggests she's dying though ... (final public performance was ... she will be so missed as ...) -- either way, her music has enriched my life and will continue to do so, that's for sure, and I'll be eternally grateful for that!

Bill Barron would be amazing, of course ... Evereest has had very spotty coverage (if any at all) in the CD era, it seems. The one with Tito plus one more, which is kind of a reunion, were reissued by Evidence I saw. -- And sorry for having missed your previous reference to the Monterey album (which is really good - I remember buying it from True Blue, ages ago ... may have been my very first exposure to Herman).

Yeah, I love how Mosaic has over the years subsantially documented Herman's career! Between the Capitol (I think it runs up to 1956?) and the (terrific!) Select (1962-64, I think?) there's a larger gap, which contains at least one essential album (Atlantic 1960, reissued on Koch ages ago, and I guess in the meantime again in Japan a few times?): And there's this one, too (Verve 1957), which I quite enjoy every now and then:

yup, got Stravinsky/Br'er Ray, too ...

Great news! So this closes gaps around and between the Columbia and Capitol sets, right? Begins with the new one (Decca), then on with the Columbia box, squeeze in the Carnegie Hall concert from the new one, and then on with the beginning of the Capitol set, then the MGM/Verve material from the new one, then the rest of the Capitol set. Do the three boxes cover the full ground for that period, or are there any (minor or substantial?) gaps left?

Just in case, over here, jazzmessengers seems to be the best source usually ... I have just completed the series (missing on a physicalc copy of the History set, which went OOP a while ago it seems) and am still waiting for delivery of the last one. The Ronnie's set may indeed be the essential, but I have yet to spend more time with some of the sets.
