Then Florida state must be dumb...

http://www.jazzarcheology.com/artists/tony_fruscella.pdf Can't find anything on any Sam Heltzer, but maybe that's a trace?

Guess there'd be some examples on the lovely "Zep Tepi" disc, too? Saw the trio live a couple of years ago and it was magnificient. Blake was especially wonderful, very joyous and playful... he played seated on a barstool and the bass looked like a little cello in his hands...

Lava lamps or Benny Lava videos on youtube? I'd rather get the next batch of Black Saint/Soul Note boxes instead!

Went on to disc 6 of the Sassy set yesterday and gave "Sings Soulfully" several more listens - wonderful! Now discs 7 and 8.

Mine are on the way, according to Francois L. Les miens aussi

Really? Why so? Because much of it is important and some of you guys are old enough to have been around when it came out first, I guess?

Happy Birthday, Nate!

I'd have bought way more, had they seen wider distribution (or been available at all)... but as others say, not all of us go as far back In my younger days, I was busy collecting Coltrane, Miles, OJCCDs, Mosaics... and you know, these Black Saints - when they did show up behind the mountains here, they would cost at least 30 or even 35 dollars, so go figure... Anyway, I'm definitely a fan of these new boxes, got them all, yet I still have to absorb some of the music...

I never had JJ but have got two BB-boxes as well as the 2CD edition (which I got because of the darnded glue issue with disc one of the BB 4CD box). IASW, I gave away... same with OTC (alas - I know it's also in the box, but I kind of would like to have it separately nevertheless... vinyl would be even cooler though!) Same here, albeit I don't go as far back... it was the first (I think) electric Miles album I ever owned (the old french 2CD version "Jazz Originals", produced by Henri Renaud) and I've loved it since I was... I guess 14? Got the digipack version and hung on to it after the Cellar Door box appeared. The original album is still mostly very good to my ears! He's no J.D., but I really love what I've heard from the Fall 1971 European tour (Ndugu-Mtume-Alias are a great percussion section), and hope that's the basis of a box in the bootleg series to come. I really, really hope for a bootlegt set from the 1971 European tour, too! Love all those concerts and among the mass of ROIOs, it would be cool to have some sort of authoritative selection on real CD.

I'll be listening to that one soon!

Swiss Krizzly would certainly help getting those cookies out of your system!

I'm into disc five now... rather sharp contrast between "Soulfully" and the singles just after that... but I love all of you, ahm, it... I can fully endorse any negative comments though - but hey, it's darn Sarah Vaughan and her voice is the voice of angels (at least when she sings, seems when she talked it wasn't...)

Okay, so it's the TRACKS that are wrong, not the booklet... darn amazon folks should learn some English, methinks! Thanks Salvatore - will check my discs later! Edit: just checked my discs... and sent in my mail!

Yeah, I get the same Swiss telecom ads I get all over where I browse... I've got my mobile phone contract with them already, so bugger off! @Jim: no problem at all having a few ads here! Hope it makes a bit of a financial difference, after all!

new voice of consent? Got to dig up that Patterson twofer, Jim - that one smokes!

Same here disc 3

Happy Birthday! :party:

I've heard that Black Lion LP, Allen - got to do some digging... and you got to explore some prime Tubby some day! As for food... I've got a continental stomach

First time I got around to listening to this... got it in that modest sale, nearly a year back - gee! Guess I'll love it, warts and kitsch and all! Haven't heard nearly as much Vaughan as I need to!

Wouldn't there be a possibility for another Mosaic Select, collecting all the Impulse trio material? Seems only Yale has appeared completely (on the "Trio Live" CD which I'm spinning right now). The complete 1973 Molde, Norway concert is also on Trio Live. That's just 20 minutes... is it the complete concert or just all that has ever been released (and/or is known to have survived)?

Is he sure about the "have been remastered with loving care and deliver sterling sound" part regarding those cheapo reissues? I've got the Tubby and it doesn't bother me... but I were to champion a few recent reissues/found bits, I'd go with the Tubby discs that have appeared on Candid (Tubby's New Groove) and Savage Solveig (Dancing in the Dark - The Tubby Hayes Archives Vol. 2) - both among my favorite jazz releases of the past year! Furthermore, there's also "Complete Recordings 1958-59" by Tommy Whittle (no longer sold direclty by amazon UK it seems, although only released in May 2011). And finally, the entire "London Jazz Quartet" album is part of both the Tubby Hayes 3CD set (from last year and previously discussed here) and has been reissued separately, as well. To me, it seems a bit of a stretch to use just these recordings to make the (valid) point about neglect of UK jazz. I'd look elsewhere... and if was about Tubbs, I'd put the stress on recordings from a few years later!

Sounds great - assuming it's a one-time payment for the add-on, that is... no need for you to burden any additional on-going cost!
