    Pretty good then, I guess. Still waiting for mine to arrive. Mail is dang slow this time of the year.

    Wow, that was nice, Ted. Thanks for posting. Jerry was such a lovely player. Puts me in a Paul Desmond frame of mind. Couple of questions - did you take those pics? I'm sure you were at the session. Anyway, it's a wonderful collage and great to see all the guys from some 30 years ago. Also I know Jerry was sadly afflicted with Alzheimer's and went to live in a nursing home. Has he passed away? And speaking of alto players, Boss Brass and Woods (made shortly after this recording) is one of the best big band albums ever recorded. Ever. Period. (IMHO, of course). . But seriously.

    Very nice stash, Tom! Those 2 Selects are nice finds.

    Agree with Lon on both counts. But I'm in denial, too. I don't buy many jazz recordings. Just once in a while. Really.

    Appears to be in stock at the moment at cduniverse. I just ordered one. Supposed to ship in 1-2 days. Usually I order directly from uptown, but this was a better price and less for shipping, since I ordered something else with it. http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=9056442&cart=1511494723

    Haven't got this one yet, but I always get my Uptowns right from the source. I'm sure it's in stock there. http://www.uptownrecords.net/home/

    Until recently they used to be known as Mark's Work Warehouse - mostly, as the name implies, clothes, work boots, jackets, vests etc. for workers engaged in physical, outdoor, or factory type occupations, plus they carried some casual clothing (big on jeans and sweaters and coats). They changed their name to Mark's in order to expand on the more casual side of the market though I'm not sure they've yet gone into more formal wear like suits and jackets. Just about everything else but that, I think .

    The McLean is a great set. Wonderful place to start. My first Mosaic order in '92 or '93 consisted of 3 sets - Basie Roulette Live; Kenton -The Holman/Russo charts & the Tina Brooks set (on vinyl). Not bad for the first order.

    That is a terrific set. The Basie at Birdland stuff is simply awesome. Somebody at WBGO was clueless. But it's good it finally fell into the hands of someone who will appreciate it.

    Surprised myself with this one a bit: James Carter (on alto) playing Sun Ra's beautiful ballad "Hour of Parting". Lovely performance. From: James Carter on the Set (DIW)

    Yeah, I feel that way this morning. There are several LP's mentioned in the McCoy Tyner thread that I had and sold. Wish I had kept them now.

    Atlantis is good and definitely worth having/hearing but it's not as good as Enlightenment (IMHO). I'm weird I guess, but I really like Fly with the Wind. Jim is right - it's a Tyner/Billy Cobham fireworks show, but it really works IMHO.
