Very interesting, Mike! Sounds indeed like an 8CD set going up to 1965 and including some stereo/mono takes would be the best thing to do here!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing, Chris!

Recently heard the fine Mike LeDonne disc "'Bout Time" (thank you, brownie!) and just yesterday dug up Harrell's "Open Air" on Steeplechase from the local sales bins - very enjoyable! His tone is so beautiful!

Yeah, everything else, we'll hear some day, won't we?

Oh yes, that Roy Brooks is a hell of a cooker! Recently gave it a spin again after quite a while, and dug it even more than I remembered!

Done - good to have you aboard, Ronald! I'd wish for some more interest!

Good one! And soon you'll get some LHR, too - finally!

As so often, I'm slow catching up the news... but seeing some Flying Dutchman material (with most of which I'm totally unfamiliar) and even more so "Intents and Purposes" and "Dogon A.D." officially reissued would be great news! Can't give you my impressions of the Carter/Bradford Select, as I'm lagging behind Mosaic's releasche schedule... but I'll definitely get hold of it while it's still around!

That would have been extremely embarassing... but I do hope that their liner notes author (who likely wasn't involved in writing the blurb in the email and on the website) would not have repeated that mistake...

Who is Miss Pellings? Can I see her, too?

They've fixed the goof now...

Some of that music was on the Giuffre set... wasn't it just some kind of intimate rehearsal/performance space?

I still need to give #82 a spin myself... but first I want to finish this one. One final spin is still needed for final approval, after that the option for CDRs is up and running!

Ah yes - and their policy keeps them from releasing it again. No problem with me - although I had to piece the Getz/Raney set together with various CDs (but then the Roost 3CD set is as fine a unit, I guess, as was the Mosaic!)

This thread has vanished... but I finally am reading it while holding my VEE "Only the Blues" in my hands, and all of it is included there. The bonus tracks from "Only the Blues" were already on the 1991 US CD version of "Sits in with the Oscar Peterson Trio": http://www.amazon.com/Sits-Oscar-Peterson-Sonny-Stitt/dp/B0000047CM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1295392149&sr=1-2-spell

We all have the "Stan Getz Plays" CD anyway, don't we? It has been around for decades, making the sales bins at least twice a year in Zurich Got to check my mail (and actually read beyond the subject line )

Quentin "Butter" Jackson Harry "Sweets" Edison Julian "Cannibal" (yeah, I know...) Adderley

Nah, I disagree... I still have the cheap looks and feel of Collectables, and Wounded Bird is but a tiny bit better and has nearly non-existing distribution (and horrendous prices) over here... Also, quite possibly Mosaic is hoping for a good-selling set? They certainly would deserve that!

Yeah, the packaging is plain ugly ("Bar Wars" one of the worst!) but the music often is great! Love all the Woody Shaws, the Sonny Stitts, the La Roca, the Clifford Jordans...

J.A.W.: just to be sure - the quartet date with Rowles and Roach will be included, then - this one: It's been on the CD of "Plays", that's why I'm asking... and I'd hate to miss out on the new alternate takes by buying the Mosaic LP set (which I'll probably rather do than getting the Hip-O, now that I have the choice... but then the Mosaic price will be even more ridiculous than the Hip-O, I assume...)

Cool news about the MJQ! Don't have too much of these albums for once (ah, well... Lonely Woman, Fontessa, Pyramid and Porgy & Bess)

Great to see you, Rolf!

Thanks for sharing that link - interesting story (with a sad end, it seems). I was familiar with his name in the production credits, but had no idea about the man behind the name!

What a weird thing to do... guess I'll look for the CD reissue of "Home Run", then! It does indeed contain "Alone Together": http://www.amazon.com/Home-Run-Howard-Mghee/dp/B00000IX87/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1295219360&sr=1-2 Thanks a lot for explaining this mess to me!
