Something they could do is a 1962-66 post-CJB Verve/Philips/Limelight box. That's 7 albums, some of which have been on OOP Japanese CDs, and some of which are on inferior-sounding Andorran LP transfers. Only Night Lights has been out in the west, I think. Another idea might be the 1955-56 sextet sessions, three albums on EmArcy/Mercury. There are a lot of alternate takes from those sessions, so a 3-CD set would be possible. None of these albums has been on CD in the west, surprisingly. Two have been on Japanese CDs, and the third is on a Membran CD. All three are also on an Andorran set. Both great proposals! I'm not familiar with much of Mulligans non Pacific Jazz discography... what about that Columbia quartet album with Art Farmer, "What Is There To Say?" - is there more of that, or could it be added to the EmArcy albums? Just found this, will have some reading to do! http://lcweb2.loc.gov/natlib/ihas/warehous...003721/0001.pdf

I once snatched up Griff'n'Bags, the Shihab, and the Calypso one from a dusty sale very cheap... great discs, all of them! I wish I also had the Clarke/Boland Rearwards reissues, never found those for acceptable prizes.

Oh, and how about more Mulligan? I was just playing discs 1 & 2 of the Concert Jazz Band box last night and considered for a minute ordering the Mulligan Select along with running low Moncur one (went with the Carmell Jones, instead, going by numbers). The complete Mulligan meets the Saxophonists sessions? The one with Webster is out as good as it gets in the 2CD VME, but the Hodges is a crappy LPR with no additional material, the Getz is an ooooold CD, the Desmond is stunning anyway (they could also add the RCA sessions with Desmond, possibly, as they did RCA material before, and Sony material anyway). Also there are boots of the CJB - from 1960 in California and from the Vanguard gig that resulted in the CJB at the Village Vanguard album. Not sure they'd fit onto a Select, but that would be one hell of a great release (though legally problematic, I assume...)

did you pull the trigger in the end? Yep - and after it had gone OOP ! huh? you pulled the trigger and then it was gone, or you came too late?

There was that Felsted project, as far as label-oriented boxes go. MG: the Getz Roost material is out on a beautiful Blue Note 3CD box (same design as the Morgan Lighthouse and Herbie Nichols sets). Much of that (the parts with Jimmy Raney) were on the Getz/Raney Mosaic, so that's not an option. I like Weizen's Teddy Charles idea, by the way! I haven't heard a lot of his music and he certainly holds quite some interest! That Bird album is magnificient! I guess there's more along those lines? The Bethlehem "Salute to Hamp" is quite nice, too. The session on the Mingus Atlantic box (all or most of that's on the "Word for Bird" album, I think, filling up the great tentet tracks) is rather tame, though, not to say lame... And what's the word about that Gary Burton RCA? Is that still in the pipeline? And as for Mosaic singles, there was at least one more Kenton Presents album that hasn't been covered by Mosaic (Cooper, Holman, Rosolino were in that box, Chaloff had one, too, no?) - the one I'm thinking of is the Claude Williamson trio - I had borrowed the LP once from a friend's late dad. I'm all for label-centred boxes, by the way! The HRS is magnificient, the Capitol collects loads of ok, good and some quite great material. As for Verve, I'd be all for an Illinois Jacquet that would continue the story from where the 1945-1950 box ends. Also Ben Webster, though there it's not really necessary... or is there something unreleased? Then how about Harry Edison? I have Swinger/Mr. Swing, Sweets, Buddy & Sweets, and the one with Buck Clayton that was on that "Swing Trumpet Kings" 2CD set... was there more that would fit into a box? I think he also did some easy listening stuff... Also how about some Lunceford? I have the Masters of Jazz series, luckily, and the later recordings (MoJ folded before they arrived there) seem to be somewhat weaker, yet... maybe a Columbia (Vocalion/OkeH whatever) Lunceford box? Or compiling all the non-Billie H. Teddy Wilson sides? Sort of a companion to the Sony box? Now that I'd love to see! Or some Benny Carter collection? Something Coleman Hawkins?

I just sent in an order for the Moncur and Carmell Jones Selects... wanted the Jones ever since it came out, and the Moncur to me will also be a first with regard to "Evolution" (in addition to "Hipnosis"), and that's an album I've wanted to hear for a loooooooooooooooooong time, so I'll be quite happy with this Select as well! I wonder, will these sell out more or less chronogically (hell yeah, selets sell out chronogically, ask booby or booger, they shall know!)? I have #3 and #4, but after that I only have the Hills and five or six more, and the first one I really wonder if I need it will be #5, the Chambers, as I have all the music, though the Jazz West quartet with Trane and the pianoless shorter session with more horns only on that brown BN double LP set...

I guess I'll order that and the Carmell Jones, then... finally! (I have most of the Moncur on the Jackie Mac and the Conn CD, only missing "Evolution", but I hope the printing error - wrong mark from #1 to #2 - on "One Step Beyond" isn't repeated on the Select...)

I think I wrote Mosaic a few years ago with that suggestion. Don't remember their response. Definitely worth emailing them about it again. His three RCA albums wouldn't fit on a Mosaic Single and won't be enough to fill a three-disc Select. How about a complete RCA Jazz Workshop box adding those two?

Yeah, that's the first I thought of, even before Blakey or Coltrane... But this has never been a particular favourite, so it's just not a song I remember which albums it's on.

here's the cover for "Night Flight", the Moody/Fuller Monterey one - I've once heard a needle drop of it, remember it as pretty fine:

Sorry, I didn't post here earlier, but I snatched these, just in case (some of these popped up in others' posts, so I thought I'd just let everyone know these were gone): Carter ,Betty – It’s Not About the Melody (Verve) $5 Carter ,Betty – I’m Yours, You’re Mine (Verve) coupla scuffs, plays fine $2 Christy ,June – Ballads for Night People (Capitol) $4 Freeman ,Von – The Great Divide (Premonition) $6 Patton ,John - Boogaloo (Blue Note) a few scuffs, plays fine $5 Pearson ,Duke – Prairie Dog (Koch) $6 Porter/Praskin Quartet – With Sal Nistico: Sonnet for Sal (ORF) $5

Ok, then the Woods and Price seem to be gone, too... too bad, as the parts of the Woods I've once heard on the radio were terrific! Not sure I'd really need the Price, but the Woods and Anderson certainly look tempting!

Struth!!!!!! Where's the smiley for "heavily aggrieved to the point of actual anguish"? I guess I'll include it in the next order. MG yeah, well, I'm happy for myself, but I'd be rather annoyed in your position, too! even more so as I'll unlikely send in another order there all too soon... did I mention I also ordered Mankunku's Yakhal Inkomo, which I tried from HMV and some other sites with no luck before!?

Just got my shipping confirmation mail - the whole order is filled, including At Teal!

Sounds just like it would suit me well, then...

Happy Birthday! :party: Have one on me!

Yeah, I'm feeling better... oh wait, that's about you... glad to hear you're doing better, seriously!

Solo - and that club he's playing usually is reliable with their information. The night after he's scheduled to play solo in Basel as well, so I guess he's on a small solo tour, I didn't check his website, though.

i agree. he he... I wouldn't mind if that lady passed me by... but she ought to let the rain at home, please, still waiting for spring here!

alright then, finally got mine... 40£ on UK amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search?index=bl...;_encoding=UTF8 had to pay some taxes, but then the Hodges and Prima/Manone package slipped through so I'm not angry about that... looking forward to listening!

Also played Groove Holmes' "Blues All Day Long" and Teddy Edwards/Houston Person's "Horn to Horn" - two more fine discs! The later has Richard Wyands on piano, the former also features Houston Person.

Bumping this up - big fan of 32 Jazz here, renewed just now as I bought several discs I've wanted for a long time in a recent sale going on on another part of the forum... Right now playing this excellent Don Patterson disc, "Steady Comin' at 'ya", combining the album "These Are Soulful Days" (with Jimmy & Tootie Heath and Pat Martino) with three bonus tracks from "Movin' Up" and "The Return of Don Patterson" (all on Muse). One of the best covers from 32 Jazz, as far as I'm concerned...

that is economically spoken, too - not just as far as society is concerned (societal? is that word to use?)
