Well, sure! But how many of your favorite records are self-produced demo-quality Sandy Hurvitz/Ezzra Mohawk kinds of things with no real sense of nuance, spacing, and timing? Not many, I suspect! While I really regret that I never even heard her name before your mentioning it, she can't be all that bad, at least her "list of accomplishments is nearly endless" And can anyone tell me what's wrong with her teeth? ubu

I know there are some non Blue Note RVGs, but they're so few so far that I would not wait and pray... and these discs always sounded fine to my (non-audiophile) ears. ubu

I was afraid someone would ask for a picture. Here it is, from my scanner to you. Here's a bigger one: (courtesy of Amazon France, the disc was available there half a year or a year ago when I got it from them, but it's not listed anymore now) ubu

A wise decision!

you certainly won't regret it! These two discs make a very nice live-counterpart to the studio albums (Free for All, Buhaina and Mosaic) that unit recorded! ubu

What you greedy folks want two and three?!?

Absolutely correct. The original LPs were issued on United Artists, then reissued by Sonny Lester on Solid State. I have Vol 1 on a Solid State LP. Must get Vol 2... You better get them both! I think Vol. 1 has stuff not on LP (unless maybe on that live messengers 2LP set that also had some 1953 tracks with Brownie - not sure). Check with AMG for the tracklist, they mention the volumes being expanded for the CD reissue. ubu

I only have the Django, but plan to pick the others up latest when they hit the running-low-list. The Django, however, is a marvellous set! Of course the Green/Clark and Getz/Raney stuff is great, too - you should get that in single discs, or in whatever form it is around, currently, as I did myself (much of the Getz is in the 3CD Complete Roost set, one of my favourite box sets). Then not to forget the Desmond/Hall! (That's also in a box, from RCA, but it seems the single reissues have better remastering.) ubu

The Three Blind Mice are not original Blue Note titles, if memory serves me right. So I'd not bet anything on these being reissued in the RVG series.

Have you heard this one here? Henderson, Corea, Carter and Billy Higgins - a pretty good one! ubu

Hey fellows, I finally transferred that Brotzki Chicago Tentet date from fall 2003 - 2CDs, around 100 minutes of great stuff with McPhee, Bishop, Brutzlman, VDMK, Williams, Gustafsson, Lonberg-Holm, Kessler, Drake and Zerang. I have yet to check if the CDs are ok, and it might get end of July till I'm able to send them your way, but feel free to mail in your adresses (please include some subject like "Brotz/Address" or something, so that I can find the PMs/Emails again easily). ubu

The Criss if fantastic! Just in case anyone doesn't have it yet. Again, Nature Boy is highly recommended. ubu

Started listening to the Chambers "Go" sessions - incredible stuff! I really like it! They're so good, Kelly-Chambers-Cobb, and Adderley is bursting with ideas and sound! Hubbard at that stage of his career (and as a sideman) could seldom do a wrong thing, I guess. Sound is great, as far as my lousy ears are able to tell. ubu

all animals are... but some are more... wow...nice application of the orwell... had to go for it after reading this: ubu B)

Damn. How many days was it, from the time you placed your order with Mosaic, till you received the goods? What do you think of the sound quality of the Vee Jay sets? Took pretty long, but if those fellas at the swiss border wouldn't have been suspicious, I'd have gotten the package a week ago. No time to listen so far. Start tomorrow! ubu

Randy Weston, Blue Moses definitively not his best, but this one would deserve a CD appearance! ubu (edited to add the title, as the jpg's unreadable)

finally got mine: Shorter/Morgan: #1853 Chambers/Kelly: #1874 that's the cool part of it... ... now the less cool: Shipping (Surface): $18 Handling Fee Swiss Postal Services: $15 Custom Tax: $14 Sucks! Had to fax the customs a copy of the yellow invoice, before they finally sent the box my way! First time this has happened with a Mosaic package. ubu

Hey you gotta make friends if you want to have more than one PM a day Me got two Mosaics today, which is enough... (yup, I'm told to get a life. but then...) ubu

Leffe is my favourite beer, too! Here's some: ubu

Happy Birthday! ubu

JohnS and Lazaro were talking about a different Savoy Shepp/Dixon. It was a quartet date form late '62 with Don Moore/Reggie Workman - bass and Paul Cohen/Howard McRae - drums. The Workman/McRae tandem play on one of the four tracks. Wonderful date never on cd 'cause Dixon owns the masters. I stand corrected. Sounds like something that I'd love to hear! But the other one is not bad, either. ubu

let them sing it

sounds good! Hope I'll be home then to record it!
