Huh, what's the matter with these 13 mexicans? I think you lost me now! ubu

I don't know Hartman too well, but I grew to like him pretty well on the album he made with Coltrane - I'll send Milan a copy of that one. ubu

Yes indeed! But they're a bit too costly... I only have the Hayes/Shaw, Jones/Lewis, Redman, Mulligan CJB, and the one above so far. ubu

Hey you forgot to list our perennial favourite... Earle Warren... How could I? He´s as good as Johnny Hartman on ballads, you know! I did not discuss that with our dear friend about that one, but that was one of the best laughs I had lately! ubu

Hey, Garth, maybe you could send me some of these old sets I never had a chance to buy (I was born to years before Monk Blue Note Mosaic...) - I would not be mad at you then, anymore, of course! ubu

Get lost, old man! I'm one of those late(-by-birth)-comers... I wish I had been aware of Mosaic before I got my first box when I was like 16 years of age... ubu

Hey that's not the date I did register!! ubu

EKE, I don't know more on your question than you. Have that Proper set. Just thought this one here might be of interest for you: http://www.tcb.ch/tcb.cgi?list=style|artis...RDON+BADEN+1972 Ben & Dex only play together on two tunes, and each of them has two just with rhythm. Drew/Stief/Thigpen are a nice team. ubu

I only have her Bethlehem album, I love it! But then, anything with Eddie Costa is good for me! ubu

Hey you forgot to list our perennial favourite... Earle Warren... ubu

love it! Mal Waldron (and his tunes) add a lot to this one, in my opinion. The two Gaslini discs I have should be listened to more often then they are, too! (I have the Monk and Ayler piano solo discs). ubu

"Patterns" is still around here, too, I think (but far too expensive for your us-tastes). "Oblique" is a very good one (I have a burn thanks to a kind board member, never saw the disc). "Happenings", then, might be my favourite! And what a beautiful cover! It's one of four or five japanese discs I have (payed like 30$ for it, it's a TOCJ), and I really love it! ubu

I'm pretty thin on Charles. I have half of the "Word from Bird" Atlantic LP pictured above on the Mingus Atlantic box - do I need to have the CD, too? What's there besides the rather muted date with Mingus? Then I have Charles' Bethlehem "Salute to Hamp", and I do like that one very much! Art Farmer's there, as is Zoot, if I remember right, and some other great musicians. ubu

Posted this earlier today in the "Funny Rat" (as there are some Dyani-fans over there): Wanted to mention this one: It features 44 minutes of music (one short ZA-jive, and two long ones), by a medium-sized group including Don Cherry (who was sick that night, the liner notes say), Carlos Ward, Hamiet Bluiett, Roy Brooks (drs), John Betsch (perc), Talib Rhynie (never heard of him), and the great Johnny Dyani. Dyani's playing is strong, beautiful and big-sounded as always. Like this one a lot (AMG gives it three stars only). It was reissued last year, on the Chiaroscuro associated label Downtown. ubu

uh, you know, while posting you cannot see the date you did register, so I needed another post to make this clear, but, HELL, I forgot it again already! Can't someone tell me, so I can look it up in someone else's post while typing? ubu

Uh, wait, as I do autoarchive them regularly, it should be not too old, but the oldest one I still have should be from some day close to when I registered, which was...

What's again the point of this topic? Post-count aside? ubu

upping this one, as I have been listening to all the Albert Ammons and Helen Humes dates over easter. Great GREAT music! That session with Albert & Gene Ammons is smokin'! Also some nice Johnny Hardee on the first Humes date, and some short moments of Rudy Williams on the second. Then you have those two very nice Mary Lou Williams on the end of disc 7! That box is a treasure! ubu

You generally get more than one copy of the receipt from Mosaic. The pink copy and the yellow copy. Place the pink copy in one box and the yellow copy in the other. See? Problem solved. And what about the other four boxes I got with that same order? I just pile them up somewhere, but usually I do keep them - don't ask me why! On topic: the only un-attached I have is the Atlantic NO, but then that was the first one I bought since maybe 3 years. ubu

ss1 - you might try "Sunship" for post-classic, or transitional Trane. It's one of his most beautiful and accessible dates, in my opinion! And add "Live at Birdland" and "Quartet Plays... Chim Chim Cheree etc" to John B's list (he seems to be quite fond of "Ballads" ). Also the Impulse "Coltrane" (there's one one Prestige with the same title) is very good! There's a 2CD edition of it (as there is of "Ballads" and of "Love Supreme"). Simon, AB - thanks a lot for this very enlightening discussion! Should find the time soon to listen to Seattle and Om again. It's been years (five at least), since I listened to Om last. ubu

Also had another listen over easter to this one: Gustafsson is good, solid, Flaten has a big woody beautiful warm sound - fitting very well to this Don-Cherry-penned or -styled music. Nilssen-Love, then, is one of the better drummers around these days, I think. Some of this music is much in a post-Trane mode (mainly as far as Gustafsson is concerned), also moods and colours do remind of Ornette (and Don Cherry), some of it is just plain beauty - when they hit the folksy grooves, bass ostinate falls in place, drums play the beat, and Gustafsson falls in with one of those simple (Ayler, Ornette, Cherry...) melodies, almost overblowing his horn (Ayler, Sanders, Gato...). ubu

Love that one! It was one of the first jazz discs I had! ubu

Uh, I'm afraid I got the wrong one... now that's better, no? (Saw that film last night on tv ) ubu

Evan, hope you had a good one, and many happy returns (you know, all them Babes are a healthy thing ) ubu
