I thought I would post a partial list of the remaining used Mosaics at the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago. Again, these were brought in by the family of a man who had recently passed away. Most of the OOP sets seem to be around $25 per disc (LP or CD). MD=CD MR/MQ=LP *MR3-105 Art Pepper *MR5-118 Herbie Nichols *MR6-120 Paul Desmond *MQ4-143 Charles Mingus *MR4-113 Chet Baker *MR4-112 Thelonious Monk *MR6-109 Hall/Johnson/DeParis/Dickenson *MR3-121 Ike Quebec *MR4-131 Stan Getz *MR4-122 Chet Baker *MR5-180 Bud Shank *MD7-169 J.J. Johnson *MD3-166 Curtis Fuller *MR5-114 Art Hodes *MD4-162 Lee Morgan ($135.00) *MR3-124 Freddie Redd *MR5-102 Gerry Mulligan *MD3-172 Thad Jones *MR5-117 Buddy DeFranco *MD6-141 Art Blakey *MR4-107 Ike Quebec/Hardee I bought several sets for myself and a few for some of the board members, as they will not ship used materials (non-returnable). For those of you who asked me to pick them up for you, I shipped them today. I'll probably being back in the windy city on 1/11 if any of you are interested in me doing the same. There are several others available, but I didn't list anything that is still in print (except JJJ). Happy Holidays to All!!! Mark Mark

Happy Holidays to all!!!I went to see Benny Golson Quartet (Larry Gray on Bass, Dana Hall on Drums and Mike Kucour on Piano) last night at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. Benny sounded great as usual, while playing many of his greatest compositions as well as a few new tunes. Towards the the end of the set, vocalist Kurt Elling walked in the club and Benny invited him up on stage to sing a few songs. They did "Embraceable You" and a "scat" version of what sounded to me like "Salt Peanuts". I was never a big fan of Kurts singing, but Benny and the crowd were loving it. Now that I look back on it, it was pretty cool. I was at the show early and Benny came in much earlier than normal and was playing a little piano while the club was empty. I made a few photographs of him playing which was great and talk to him for about 15 minutes when he was finished; he told a very sad story of what he was doing when he heard that Clifford Brown had died (which led to him composing "I Remember Clifford"). I'll post a few of my photographs from the show in the next couple days. If you didn't see some of my photographs from the Dave Holland show, click on the Dave Holland link on this same thread. Mark

PHILLYQ, Thanks for the kind words, you're very welcome! Mark

7/4, Sorry to put you to all that work posting my photos and thanks for the kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to do this! Mark

Hey guys, thanks for the input; I appreciate all your help! Dmitty, I'm glad you still have the Ray Brown photo. I saw him at his last show which was great as usual. I still can't belive he's gone ! Mark

Happy holidays to all!! I'm looking for a few thoughts on the following Mosaics sets. I've never been a huge fan of Big Band but I'm thinking of getting the following sets as it's starting to grow on me (not literally) . *Kenton Presents *Duke Ellington reprise Studio Recordings. How about the Gerald Wilson? Thanks, Mark

This is very sad indeed, not very well know to the masses but a wonderful player non the less.

Conn, I was just kidding, I didn't know you were in the business. I would agree with you that many people don't take this seriously until it's too late. We're all invincible when we're young(er). Mark

Conn, You're not selling insurance again are you ? Mark

Have a good one, man!!!

Brownie, Hopefully that's a long time away (for all of us)!

7/4, Thanks for the kind words in regards to my photographs, I appreciate it. I sent you a PM. I'll send the Holland photos on Wednesday morning. Thanks, Mark

THanks God David doesn't own the business!

.....ummmm, maybe I'll buy all of the OOP titles and sell them myself, interesting.......very interesting! I'm already picking up two sets for board members so they will still get the low, low price, but the rest of you......

I'm holding a copy of it in my hands as week speak (type). It was released on Verve in 1983. #1 Litha #2 O Grande Amor #Con Alma #4 Windows Great recording! Mark

JazzHound, I just sent you a PM. If anyone want to prepay for one of the Mosiacs (by phone), I would be glad to pick it up this coming Sunday and ship them to you. I will be in town to photograph Benny Golson and will surely stop and shop again. I could probably compile a list of Mosaics they have and the costs but again, not until Sunday. Let me know. Mark

....Nate, that's it!!! Thanks! Mark

My girlfriend buys me music for Birthdays and Christmas, as I always have a list (of future purchases) laying around. She doesn't really like Jazz, but she's good to me! I'm sure I will get the latest Selects or at the very least, a gift certificate or two.

I wonder what will happen to my collection when it's my time to go. Would my better half know where to "liquidate" them? What a morbid thought! Maybe I'll spread them amongst my fellow board members!

Although I would prefer St. Louis, I voted for the Chicago Festival (not fistaval) in the event the guys get to play. To sum this up: #1 Chicago #2 St. Louis #3 Lansing

King Ubu, Just saddened at the man's passing

7/4, Is this a dare????? I will have them printed in the next day or so. I'd have to figure out how to attach them here, as I am "computer stupid". I would be glad to scan a few and e-mail them to you; PM me your address. I have many other jazz photographs on-line at www.allaboutjazz.com and www.jazzhouse.org if you would like to see some of them. Go to the gallery link and look for my name (Mark Sheldon). Mark

Paul, I don't know, that's my question!!! I think the voting has just gotten started, lets give it a while (at least until St. Louis is back in front). Mark

Happy Birthday Couw, Have a great day!
