True Story Bought the Mosaic not long after it came out. Loved it. Burned separate CDs for Andrew! and the Sam Rivers sessions so I could listen to them straight through. My 8 year old loves to draw. He uses my Mosaic boxes as easels. Whatever, I am pretty cool about it, never been a problem. However, unknown to me, he takes one in the car to do some drawing "on the road". Somehow, someway, he freaking loses it. The whole box, with the CDs, booklet, etc. Of course it was the Andrew Hill. Eric

About 25 years late, but I am really getting into Marquee Moon. I do hear some guitar lines that come straight outta the early Talking Heads. Wish I was a guitarist so I could describe in more detail, but I am wondering - does anyone else hear any similarity - and if so, who influenced who? I am guessing the Heads picked it up from Television ... Eric

Likewise, just got it and like what I hear - quite a bit in fact. Thise on the fence can hear sound clips on the (gasp) Blue Note site. Eric

Another vote for Charles Kynard, who happens to be from KC. One guy I also enjoy is Hank Marr, from (I think) Columbus, OH. He has a couple CDs on the DoubleTime label here in the US. Eric

BTW Rooster, you can borrow my copy any time. I also have a couple of Sweet boots that are kind of interesting - among other things, you get to hear him do the Scooby Doo and Speed Racer theme songs. He also does a very cool version of Magnet and Steel (Walter Egan, late 70s). Eric

I got it ... listened to it a few times ... not bad, but not as good as Girlfriend, In Reverse or 100% Fun. Has more of a throw-away feel to it. BTW, the copy-control stuff sucks - it doesn't always play right. Eric

I really like "Moon Rappin'" by Jack McDuff on Blue Note. It has a bit of a late 60s "spacy" feel to it, but it really cooks. Another good one is "Think" by Lonnie Smith, also on Blue Note but not available on domestic BN. Not really obscure I suppose, but I really like the Wes Montgomery organ trio dates - "Portrait of Wes" in particular. Tough question - this board does a pretty good job covering the genre! Eric

Scary ... I just ordered this from amazon without seeing this thread ... Eric

Got a Good Thing Goin' Smokes! Eric

Yeah, forgot about the Bird and Dizzy set - that sounds incredible (and sorry Rooster) and even more tempting than the new Hill set I have sorta of forgotten about the Cellar Door stuff. I think this has the potential to be very, very good, although if I am not mistaken, McLaughlin is not on the unissued stuff. Can anyone confirm that? Thanks, Eric PS - Oh yeah - the Marsh will be on the very short list too

Holy obscurity, Batman B) Eric

Charlie Parker - Complete Verve Master Takes - think it comes out on 10/28. Eric

I just noticed that Ray Brown plays bass on a couple of tracks from "King of America". You can especially hear him on "Poisoned Rose". Interesting ... Eric

Seems I had this on lp once and traded it because it was almost unlistenable. But, I could have been wrong and so I would appreciate the opinion of anyone that owns this. Thanks, Eric

Nope, but the mice did! B)

Gotta love those CHIEFS!!! 6-0, beating the Packers in OT. This is particularly sweet for me as I was born in Green Bay. Eric

Thanks Mike!!

I also love the 2nd strip - it has been stashed in my "humor" file at work for years. Can't wait for the return of Steve Dallas (the evil Steve that is). Eric

I know this is going in the "wrong direction" of this thread, but I would highly recommend "Think" to Lonnie Smith fans. I had this on an old BN cassette for years and it is a definitely ass-shaker Lee Morgan and Fathead Newman are the horns. After loving this for years, I tracked down "Turning Point" ... and yeah I was disappointed too. Eric

Wasn't one of these sequenced for a Japanese-only lp in the 70s or 80s? Surely if it got that far, it would be worthy of release. I would still LOVE to get Andrew! and Dance with Death (on CD that is). Eric

What about including the two 80s lps in the scope? Certainly similar in terms of "look and feel" ... Eric

I received this yesterday and had a chance to listen to it a bit in the car. I don't have a hell of a lot to add to the above, except to say that I really do enjoy what I've heard so far. I like the tunes and the accents that are played behind the solos. Oddly, one of the tracks sounds very familiar - can't remember which one - have any of these been recorded before. Another oddball impression - parts of it - maybe just the overall feel - remind me of "Mode for Joe". It is simply stunning to me that this thing sat for so long, although Cuscuna's explaination of why makes sense (lousy mix on the first tapes he heard). Kudos to BN and AH for putting this out!!! Eric

Found it! Lonnie's Lament! Thanks

Sometime in the last 5-7 years, I remember grooving quite nicely to a KG track that featured PM on guitar synth. Seems it was an intense tune and after KG's solo, PM comes crashing in on the guitar synth. I emphasize the "synth" aspect because that is part of what it so cool. My obvious guess would be the KG CD Pursuance, but no luck finding it so far. Eric
