Tom in RI

I am not 100% sure but I believe Mosaic used to have a list of tiltles no longer available on their werbsite. Can't find it now. Can anyone point me to this info?

Picked up Ease On through Scottb (thank you) as a result of the feedback on the Audioquest Punchout thread. Very glad to have grabbed it. Good stuff.

Well, I gonna show my ignorance now, but, aren't bagpipes more usually associated with Scotland?

Karin Krog did a slendid vocal with bass duet of Round Midnight that was from a festival in Europe and released on Enja. I have the record but I can't lay hands on it at the moment. Can't quite remember the bassist's name (Arild Anderson?).

Con Brio, a 1983 project by Jerry Bergonzi, Bruce Gertz, Mick Goodrick and Jeff Williams.

Was the Oliver Nelson date licensed to Inner City?

All time favorite live side, Americans in Europe Vol 2, the side with Bud Powell and Don Byas playing All the Things You Are and I Remember Clifford. Also, Mingus at Carnegie Hall, Newport in New York, The Jam Sessions (particularly the side long take on So What), and Wes Montgomery Live at Tsubo.

Don't know the deal with this, sure I will want to hear it. I remember that former RI resident Mike Renzi claimed to be the pianist on the Live at Pio's date highlighted in Joe's post.

This material is now up on easytree.org. Seems to be the more complete version discussed here. Hey MartyJazz, are the copies you have in noticably better sound than the issues on Session, Alto ect.?

My favorite record shop in Providence (Round Again Records) sells a little unit that clamps over the record label with a waterproof gasket along the edge to keep the record label dry while cleaning in the fashion described here.

I think someone is confusing a Mingus work with Rahsaan Roland Kirk's The Case of the Three Sided Dream in Audio Color. As to new release from Revenge, I have given up going the Mingus site to check. I remember there being mention over the past several years of dates that might be issued but isn't there only one Revenge release? Frankly, I've given up hope.

While I've been into jazz for 30 years I haven't gotten out to see much live which makes it a little easier to pick a best. I can't remember the exact year (probably 85 or 86) but I saw the George Adams Don Pullen 4tet at the 1369 Jazz Club in Inman Square in Boston (actually Cambridge I think). The place was not very big but packed with fans. The group was just incredible. During the evening Adams sang one or two songs and Dannie Richmond contributed a vocal also, maybe more of a chant. This was a working group at the top of their game. I haven't seen a show since that was as spectacular.

Rooster Ties, I'd like to hear: Ken Schaphorst Ensemble -- When The Moon Jumps (Accurate, 1994) Will send pm as per instructions.

On the soul side of blues the Mighty Sam McClain discs on Audioquest are not to be missed. For more straight ahead, but subtle, blues, you can't go wrong with the Joe Beard titles.

Too bad its not Friday night when Mattias Lupri will be at the Gardner Museum with Donny McCaslin featured.

These Ember issues have been turning up at a local chain here (in RI) for 8-10 dollars per two cd set. I have a duplicate of vol 2 which I would offer for $8 plus shipping if anyone is interested.

Maybe I am just not seeing it but Montgomery was a sideman on a Nat Adderly session released as Work Song. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:40bsa9rgu230

What is the sound like on these? Like Boris Rose issues?

Anyone else familiar with the work of one Little Milton??? Grits Ain't Groceries Eggs Ain't Poultry And Mona Lisa Was a Man!

Just reviewed all 10 pages and didn't see Bruce Forman, his "Forman on the Job" was my intro to him and to Joe Henderson, a great disc.

The Times article mectioned home recordings of Bird from Chan Parker. I think I remember that she always wanted more money for them than any label was willing to pay. Wonder if they see distribution now.

Do you think Schaap is the collector who has the extra 6 minutes of Bird and Diz mentioned in the thread on the upcoming Town Hall Bird and Diz concert on Uptown?

Uh Joe, wouldn't that be a hard turn to the right?

While trolling through Half.com today I noticed quite a few titles on Arabesque from multiple sellers for .75 - 3.00. Is this label gone now? Is there anywhere else to check for deleted titles? Is this the right place for this thread? Well I've gone and checked their website and they still seem to be in bidness. Still, there's a lot of cheapies on half.com at the moment.

Another vote for the HHB BurnIt, I've had the 830 for about 3 years now. Easy to use.
