No rush from my side either .... still miss a few (all but the Abrams of the penultimate batch, I think - Douglas, Lewis, Hemphill, Adams they are). But sets by Bang, Roach, or Mitchell would be highly welcome at any time ... no need for Hill, the rest of Abrams or Lyons here, got all those, but that's some mighty great stuff there!

Oh, thanks for kick-starting my memory ... I remember again now. Would be all for it!

trying to pull some together: Muhal Richard Abrams Vol. 2 Billy Bang Borah Bergman Ran Blake Hamiet Bluiett Jaki Byard Kenny Drew Chico Hamilton Andrew Hill Jon Jang Leroy Jenkins Steve Lacy (quartets, quintets etc.) David Liebman John Lindberg Jimmy Lyons Mingus Dynasty/Big Band Charlie Mingus (two each) Roscoe Mitchell Tete Montoliu (4 vols. of "The Music I Like to Play") David Murray (big band and whatever else might still be missing) Max Roach/M'Boom ROVA/Larry Ochs Archie Shepp Glenn Spearman String Trio of New York Sun Ra Tom Varner Mal Waldron (leftovers) What We Live/Lisle Ellis others with only 2-3 albums: Barry Altschul Ray Anderson/BassDrumBone Karl Berger Tim Berne (+ Formanek/Berne/Hirshfield) Bobby Bradford Baikida Carroll John Carter Arnett Cobb/Jimmy Heath/Joe Henderson Ellery Eskelin The Fringe Billy Harper Craig Harris Fred Houn Joseph Jarman Joe Lovano Frank Lowe Marcello Melis Jemeel Moondoc Charlie Persip Superband Eric Person Odean Pope Saxophone Choir Dewey Redman Gianluigi Trovesi Kenny Wheeler not sure this list is complete ... but there's plenty left (and I guess with some smart combining of artists with one, two or three albums made for Black Saint or Soul Note, they could add a few more)

Yes please!

What's your take on "Hum Dono" actually? No idea how feasible it might be on the side of laws and stuff, but musically, ain't it wonderful? Sad story about the "Ne Plus Ultra" masters - wow! But that live material ... from what time is it and who's playing with Marsh there? Sounds like a great plan to me, either way! Also most happy to hear the Daley is going to happen :tup

I guess it might be more about being afraid of GREED? Of silly lawsuits (there seem to be many of those in the US) that will cost money, and time too, and keep the music from being released? Mosaic should start a European subsidiary!

More Lacy, too ... and loads of other good stuff, I bet!

Happy Birthay, Allen!

Yes, discs 3 and 4 contain the Blakey recordings, discs 1 and 2 the Blue Note and Pacific studio sessions ... not 100% what's on the Memorial Album (never had it outside of this box), but both the Donaldson/Brown and the Brown sessions are included (June 9 and August 28, 1953), as well as the J.J. Johnson session with Brownie. (I never got any of those on RVG CDs again ... had McMasters of the Birdland discs and gave them away ... guess the box is McMaster, too, but I'm at work right now and can't check).

Oh, I strill remember how badly I wanted that Mulligan! When Blue Note put out the 2CD set of the Original Quartet w/Chet I was so happy ... started piecing it all together, but the last bit (the Annie Ross album) only came my way via the Mosaic Select, a few years back. But the Brownie set I did get - that "book" edition, it's indeed very nice ... and that west coast album came as the biggest surprise to me (I knew the Blakey material before, but none of the contents of discs one and two).

WHOAH!

Yes indeed! His liners to the very good "The Art of Three" are another great read. Love how totally un-blasé he comes across ... yet obviously he's got his stuff together.

Joyeux Anniversaire, Claude!

Well, they really ought to start the Coltrane Bootleg Series ... there's such an abundance of material, that "Live Trane" box with all the botched info is merely the tip of the iceberg!

Doesn't sound like some odd late april fool's day joke ... source: http://pitchfork.com/news/54512-john-coltrane-1966-temple-university-concert-to-be-released-in-full-for-first-time/ (can some moderator please replace the "&" in the thread title with an exclamation mark? I only get error messages in trying to do so myself)

Played the Dexter set to the end a few days ago - lovely one! Now: da shit!

I've not even gotten started with the French ... no rush around here, this all needs so much time, even more so for newbies like me

I gave in ... which surely comes as no surprise to y'all

And that's the reason it was never reissued, to my knowledge (there should even be ample bonus material) I agree!

Can't blame Ricko if he's pooped after that ride! Looking forward very, very much to this set!

April 2 jokes? You guys sleep long

Okay, I feel safe now, with your additional info (that does not match what I hold in my hands) AND with the official Sony statements I dug up

I'd say yes ... I've fallen in love with a lot of what I've played so far - Chopin and even more so Brahms, the stuff with Heifetz/Feuermann (that's obviously duplicated between the two boxes) ... I've not listened to many of th huge number of concertos included, but the best of those I did play (Mozart's KV 491 with Krips) are glorious. What I didn't really like too much is the Beethoven sonatas (but there aren't that many) ... on the other hand, the Schubert is great (a late recording of D 960), and so is the Schumann. But I'm biased, I just love that guy, beyond his musical legacy that is, find his biography immensely impressing ... so you might be better off asking around some more. Also it's gone anyway, isn't it?

http://www.jaschaheifetz.com/news/ Case looks clear enough to me ... box turning up in high-brow stores, people there being aware of Sony re-pressing, official website announcing a limited re-run ... not that this means there are no Chinese boots, but I feel pretty safe mine isn't. it's also announced on the German Sony site here, as Feb 2014 release: http://klassik.sonymusic.de/Jascha-Heifetz/Jascha-Heifetz/P/2375141 And if you select Heifetz from the artist list on the US site, you get redirected to the official Heifetz site mentioned in the quote: http://www.sonymasterworks.com/artists?page=2 Case closed, I assume.
