Not yet familiar with his films, just with his name... what a sad way to go... but then somehow at 95 maybe also a beautiful way to go, no? r.i.p.

Are there any box bargains currently available?
king ubu replied to GA Russell's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Nah, these True Blue box set deals aren't a big deal... sorry to say. They might generate some more business by dropping prices on a few select items, rather than just offer these mini-discounts. But I'm not complaining, I'm just buying box sets elsewhere. The new Jimi Hendrix box "West Coast Seattle Boy" can be found pretty cheaply, for instance here: http://www.amazon.de/West-Coast-Seattle-Boy-Anthology/dp/B0044DE8FW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291224648&sr=8-1 But then I guess for Americans it's not exactly a bargain... it was for me, totalling at 33.60€. Just got it today, looking forward to hearing more Jimi in the weeks to come! -
Here's Eric Dolphy playing some Holiday music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYJ_4vSruog

Chuck, excellent service as usual, already got the discs today and am spinning some of the music as I type this! Thanks a lot!

What live music are you going to see tonight?
king ubu replied to mikeweil's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Wow, wow, wow! All expectations met up with... truly one of the most amazing sax players of recent years! A short set, but it's been a while that I heard that much saxophone! Binder was mighty fine, too - never even heard of her name before, though she's a local (website) In one sentence: Kihlstedt is pretty nice to look at... Not as great as I'd hoped, but fine and powerful, whimsical and funny... but something was lacking. Even more so after Butcher/Binder's amazing opener! -
Yes, that one.

Couldn't you at least have tried to come up with an onze-tet?

¡Congrats, Erik! ¡mucha suerte! But Aggie is a man person, requiring a man adjective, therefore bon(e)! Viva la differential! I won't pull a boner joke now... oops
-
Thanks Chuck! Looking forward to finally owning a real copy of that Brözziman box!

Oscar Peterson Mosaic is available for preorder
king ubu replied to Ron S's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
When I bought mine is was listed as the last one. I guess they have to re-stock. I didn't even pay attention when I ordered... but as it's new, I guess with a little patience, I'll be fine. And of course there's no need for rush anyway! -
Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?
king ubu replied to Soulstation1's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Enjoying the Benny Goodman Capitol Small Group that I had in the mail today! Haven't started playing the music yet, but around a third is familiar from the Capitol Trios, In Hi-Fi and BG Story Reissues. Good to have it all now! Again, new set (no # in the booklet, the box a bit damaged, but got it for a good price so I won't complain!) -
Oscar Peterson Mosaic is available for preorder
king ubu replied to Ron S's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Just hope it'll come through... it's not listed too promisingly on amazon.fr (delivery within 1-3 weeks) - guess we'll see. -
Happy Birthday! :party:

Yes, more belated best wishes, Bill! :party:

Oscar Peterson Mosaic is available for preorder
king ubu replied to Ron S's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
32€ from France to Switzerland There is a good offer on Marketplace, too, and Priceminister may also be cheaper, depending on where you order from! Giving it a shot, looks good - although with the Opera House, Stratford and On the Town discs, almost two thirds will already be in my collection, I think. -
Oscar Peterson Mosaic is available for preorder
king ubu replied to Ron S's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Wasn't that first one ("Tenderly", I think?) from 1957 or 1958? It was definitely not later and with the trio of Herb Ellis. Edit: yes, seems to be from 1958 indeed, so says CDUniverse, at least. And there's also Vancouver 1958 -
There *might* be a cheapo Euro version around by now (with the beige border around the cover). Those have the remasters (i.e. unedited versions, alternates and all) BUT a basic booklet without any liner notes, just production credits and tracklists etc.

Stan Getz Quintets: The Clef & Norgran Studio Albums
king ubu replied to crisp's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
I didn't talk of that Mosaic but of the Verve CD which is still readily available... but in the end I won't be bothered too much by some duplications and will be happy to get an official release of the Interpretations albums! I know you weren't talking about the Mosaic, I just thought I'd mention it to provide as much info as I could, that's all. Sure, fine. To me, that "Plays" material never quite reaches the same heights as the Haig quartets and Raney sessions for Roost do. -

Would this include the CBC live releases? I've only heard "Tenderly" from the library a few years back, before I really got into OP. At that price it shouldn't be a shabby cheapo label... -
