very, not to say decisively understated! Ttill waiting for (no) news on the Shank/Coop and the Pacifics... I guess all news there could be would be getting a cancellation/money refund mail, so I hope not to get anything!

Just got shipping confirmations for the Dexter Gordon and Johnny Richards Select!

One of them was the John Patton Select. Yes, and the other one must have been the Carmell Jones. That one at least went out regularly... The remaining "running low" list is quite impressive as well, but luckily I'm covered there, owning all the sets!

Btw, whatever other two sets were still listed as "Last Chance" besides the Pearson are now gone from the site!

I will get the Wein and Spoon eventually... Just sent in my order for the Pearson, added the Braxton and the Brothers Single. I like the Singles a lot. As for the Contemporary part... no interest in that here, at least mostly, as I did get the Freddie Hubbard which is pretty good!

Oh, and a Basie Roulette Studio set, please!

Seems I indeed managed to snacht up the last copies each of the Dexter Gordon and Johnny Richards Selects from amazon.fr! Both are "en cours d'expedition" now! No news on the marketplace orders (Pacific Trios and Shank/Cooper, that is), but I'm still hoping for the best...

Thanks for one more confirmation! I held off buying these two until some months ago, when I gave up hopes for new versions... anyway, I'm no audiophile, so those shall be ok for me, I guess.

not strictly correct... Roy Ayers Ubiquity: S/T, has the bonus "He Gives Us All His Love" - previously available only on a rare promo 7". Not that I'll buy that one, but has this bit of info been proven wrong as well, or is that the one exception to the rule? If so, it really is weird...

digipacks of "Agartha" and "Pangaea"? I thought there only were the jewel case Master Works vesions (with red frame, not blue)? I recently got those, having given up ever getting newer versions. Of all the other 2CD sets (Fillmores, In Concert etc) I got the digipack versions. You are correct, they never were issued in the digipak. That is why I was wondering if the box set editions were different from the currently available versions because they were not reissued along with all of the other albums 10-12 years ago. Thanks for confirming! I won't bother for the mother...load of Miles in that box... At least one of the two btw, was done I think as late as 1994, so maybe when they re-did the other ones in those nice 2CD digipacks (although Fillmore ought to have been expanded to a 4CD package with all four sets, in my opinion!), they maybe just thought there was no need to re-do those as well as they were still fairly recent.

Oi, the Curtis Amy is great! And the Carmell Jones is fine as well. And just to defend my last-minute behaviour: I don't only own these, but also had the Mobley, HRS, Farlow, Weston, Lee/Christy, and Bennie Green for quite some time! And - ouch - I just seem to have snatched up the last copies of the Johnny Richards and Dexter Gordon on sale by Amazon France (themselves, not marketplace). The Richards was a bit expensive, but the Dex would amount to less than 50$, shipping and all. I really do hope no one just snatched them away in front of my nose! They're both now "temporarily out of stock"...

Flurin ,hope you get lucky with the Trio set, it's well worth all this trouble. I've been on a Mosaic listening spree, listened to chunks of HRS, Fuller,Turrentine, Brookmeyer Select, Hodges (2nd set) and of course Mobley, a very good set in great sound IMO. Thanks - I have both (Pacific and Shank/Cooper) under "commandes éxpédiées" while the other order for the Pacific is "en cours" (in progress) since Thursday... The thing is, both of the "shipped" ones will go to Paris as the seller doesn't ship outside France (he's British... makes lotsa sense!). Will take a while to find out if the orders actually do go through... I just hope not to receive and order cancellation e-mails in the next few days!

I sent in another order for the Pacific Trio set and that one went from "in progress" (en cours) to "shipped" (expédié) now... so I might end up with two of those... will be happy to sell it on at cost (in yurp) in that case, but I can't promise anything (don't PM me about it!)

Allen Reuss is the other mostly rhythm guitar player I meant.

Yeah, I had one no-go with the Pacific Trios as well... immediately sent in a second order, but no news... The Brookmeyer is great! Don't give up trying! Oh, and I've had the Mobley for many years - it's fantastic! (what else to expect!)

The Traveling Wilburys Collection (2CD + DVD, regular version) John Surman & Norma Winstone ECM Touchstones (dirt cheap from the sales bins, or I'd have skipped the Surman... the Winstone is a dupe, for my mother as a gift I guess...) and that disc by Allen Toussaint & Elvis Costello (from the sales bins as well)

My Curtis Amy is ordered from Movie Mars - no word on shipping after 2 days, but they still have it on Marketplace (price increased from approx $44 to $75). Let's hope we're lucky Tom! Similar situation here (different seller) with the Pacific Jazz Trios set... anxiously awaiting some kind of shipping/payment notification! Ordered on Thursday it should have been confirmed by yesterday evening, one would guess...

and Baden Powell! And what's that guy, he's got an early Blue Note session, Josh White? Guitar + whistling... I think I've only heard one tune (on that Dan Morgenstern-produced "Hot Jazz on Blue Note" box set).

David El-Malek Ahmad Abdul-Malik Nouri al-Maliki

Might be nice to have some of the "backing" players there as well... Freddie Green (of course!) Al Hendrickson there's someone else I forgot about right now (would be on your list anyway I assume) George van Eps Robbie Robertson - or is that too far removed? Curtis Mayfield
