Swinging Swede

As well as Lambert's former singing partner Buddy Stewart. Also two of Sweden's most famous jazz musicians, Stan Hasselgard (Åke Hasselgård) and Jan Johansson. But there were so many more who met the same fate. Frank Teschemacher, Earl Hines's tenorist Cecil Irwin and Charlie Barnet's guitarist Bus Etri are some that come to mind. It's a terrible shame.

My answer to that would be - they just don't care. Music doesn't matter to them and their customers don't matter to them. But I guess we know that already and your question was rhetorical. I agree, that's appallingly bad behaviour of them. And why mp3 and not lossless? Fortunately there was a CD reissue of Stan Getz And The Cool Sounds at least.

That is actually a very good album. Appeared on a blog some time ago.

Yes, Lord lists this as being from Royal Festival Hall, London, November 26, 1966. I have compared and it is the same performance. When this was released on Pablo, the date was erroneously given as March 1969, which apparently is why one of the YouTube video commenters gives that date.

Oscar Peterson!? Buddy Rich!?

Correct. The sole source of salvation is the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and only He decides who gets to visit the sacred beer volcanoes and stripper factory. One small correction: everyone knows that pirates are treated as saints and virtually guaranteed admission to heaven, so I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that "good deeds/intentions" don't matter. Ramen!

A problem I can see with this is that when you want the actual CD and are willing to pay more for it, sooner or later someone will send you a CDR instead.

Yes, that is the most obvious one. And of course, Buddy Bolden's band...

Bounce (Duke Ellington) Jersey Bounce (Earl Hines) Billie's Bounce (Charlie Parker) Esquire Bounce (Coleman Hawkins) Sepian Bounce (Jay McShann) Next up: Jump

BirdPrez!?

That is actually what I have been inclined to think. Which makes "would have" seem 'wrong', coming from chewy...

Chrome user here too. It is IMO better than both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Have not tried Safari or Opera, but Safari exists for Windows as well, and I know there are a few strong proponents of Opera.

Surveillance camera, I guess. I remember seeing such videos posted on YouTube where people actually miraculously escaped.

1967, originally released under Ike Isaacs's name.

I hadn't heard of her before either, but what a tragic and meaningless thing to happen. She was young, had great plans, and then just a second of inattention and all is gone. It reminds us how much we take things for granted that really can't be taken for granted. The New York Post has more info: with Lew Tabackin with Toshiko Akiyoshi

Just a remark about this: In this day and age I think it is a myth that is being perpetuated that Japanese releases are expensive and difficult to get. In the pre-Internet days, yes, but nowadays one can easily get jazz reissues from Hiroshi Tanno @ Early Records with a very reasonable shipping cost, or even order from hmv.co.jp or amazon.co.jp. And, for example, the recent extensive TOCJ 50100 reissue series is priced at a reasonable 999 ¥ per CD, which equals 9.4 € (it used to be even less, but the yen has gone up). As for vanishing fast, yes, they don't stay in print for a decade, but Western reissues can disappear quickly too. There are some Blue Note reissues that have gone OOP after only 2-3 years, and there was even a Kenton that went OOP after 1½ years. Many Japanese CDs are available longer than that. It is also quite common that titles are reissued recurringly in Japan, so even if they don't stay in print all the time, there will be new chances to get them. I buy all my CDs online these days, and it is really no more difficult to order from Japan than from USA, Spain, Germany or even Sweden. In all cases I just press some keys on my computer keyboard and some time later a package turns up at my post office!

It may be that the releases on Fresh Sound proper observe the 50-year rule, but then we have all the Lone Hill Jazz type of labels which Pujol "only distributes" that frequently have reissued newer recordings. That said, without Fresh Sound et al much of what was recorded in the 50s and 60s would remain unavailabe forever. Considering that alternative, I am after all grateful for what Pujol is doing. Even if I would not buy a used car from him.

I think the Albam is pretty good. It has quite a bit of Eddie Costa shortly before his death. It's short though. There are more tracks from the same sessions that they could include, unless this package is straight LP reissues only.

It could be Duke Ellington's Wall Street Wail.

If it'll help, I have the CD, listened to it maybe once. It's non-essential. The recording quality is kinda weird and there are better live recordings of the Rich band out there. With that said, even if I knew what I know now, and didn't have it, I'd still be tempted to get it...because you never want a Mosaic to slip by. Aren't there any sellers in the UK that have this title for sale? Well I looked for this on amazon uk and found a disk with the same cover and also in London. Thought it was different but I just looked back and turns out they are the same tracks in a different order. One for the ethics committee? Are you talking about Very Alive At Ronnie Scott's? That was the original UK release, which was a 2-LP set. The CD reissue by that name is also two discs, and has more material than the Mosaic single CD. A rare case where a Mosaic actually is not complete.

I thought CDs were digital...
