I see now what you mean. Well: A records are never 100% readable or written down correctly B My stories have got slightly embellished over the years and changed somewhat - dont think I am alone. C May have been the info from the transfer tape changed to the records when mixed

I think sometimes that as new info comes out then occasionally the session order gets corrected however I thought that this was related to new titles/mix ups since addressed by those present etc....why...what you found that makes you doubt this?

I only just noticed the filled letters - and I have seen this often - there is so much visually I miss. For me - new covers for the 70's usually work well. Off now to listen to Love Drops from Mothership

Kicked me out of a desert of music to get Pax back on - Calliope here we come!

What a lovely resource - not all my cup of tea but this little gem looked interesting: https://www.otrcat.com/p/jazz-club-usa

Wow - this would be lovely to see when the resources and audio can work in tandem

Great recording - listened to it last night - however please note I have a faulty last 2 tracks which skip and seem poorly printed to CD - not the live recording. I note others have had similar issues - so be warned. However the other tracks were beeeeautiful to listen to so still worth it. Lets see if my replacement is any better.

This is helpful intel - so I am diving in and ordering this and the Freddie Hubbard set AND to cap it The Three Sounds live recordings as well -- and finally got the Joe Henderson and McCoy Tyner  live set I figured I rarely see live music and never saw these guys at the time (pre birth ) so will treat myself over the next 3-5 months

I quite like Lonnie Smiths The Awakening from Afrodesia - not too many good tracks on there but this was one and a few less rinky dinky Groove Holmes tracks were worth hunting out like this and also paired him off with Jimmy McGriff - this was recorded live Boston More info on the label here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_Merchant and loads of resources here http://www.jazzlists.com/SJ_Label_Groove_Merchant.htm I am now off disappearing down a 1970s organ fest rabbit hole as it reminded me to go find Reuben Wilson Sweet Life Yes!

TV networks have been churning out worse with less plot changes - this even if it runs to ground with a note to say the recording was awful - would at least close the file.

Cue very dramatic music ! The plot thickens......

Oh wow - where to start - such a back catalogue and introduced me also to so many other artists. What a character and what a legacy. My fav 3 right now: (as is firing them up on the system -will change by next week!) Alligator Boogaloo Callin All Cats and that recording of John Pattons Funky Mama I was lucky enough to have a whole set of videos of him playing along with Lonnie Smith which although not live in person were a pretty close second. Many of them are thankfully on YouTube...talking of which - I have just found this -

Wow - that is a very nice find.

No need to apologise This stuff needs time and effort Listening now to Woody Shaw after a whole heap of Bobby Hutcherson - lovely Website a little noisy with graphics but loving it so far Jazz on Class

Do tell more? Is this one of the "live" tapes we had access to or something new? I knew this was a keeper But none of my work = Javier Gonzales - wonder if this sprung up the sorts of leads thesis can ie "well did you ever speak to ...." Hope so For Javier's sake Such a rich piece of work - turning what we say here as "well I heard" into cited quotes etc

Did you want access to the thesis? - I remember putting that here for wider reading: https://andybleaden.blogspot.com/2007/07/thesis-on-john-patton-by-javier.html I also put it onto a pdf - not sure now why - probably so I could print it back then: John Patton Thesis by Javier Gonzales

The Steppin out lp I remember seeing quite a bit in UK Secondhand record shops - remember hearing it and was nearly tempted and also Boss Tres Bien and quite liked the title track - in fact - now I have just also found a version on youtube and that floats my Sunday morning stuck in because it is raining boat!

I have had this for years and years and did not ever have the brains to work out the Ray Draper set was the one from Prestige (or as it says here now I have my glasses on - from Jubilee Records!)

This looks like Don Wilkerson to me (dont get too excited - no sound) from the late 70s' Don Wilkerson

Mine was the Larry Young set I had recently bought a big box of jazz lps (pre ebay) and some of them were Blue Notes - originals too My local jazz record shop in Manchester UK (Decoy Records) had a look and out from under the counter popped a Larry Young Mosaic set - AND a box of the Other Side of the 1500 Series (Japanese LPs) I went home happier than I had ever felt trading records. Larry Young I had only heard I think 3 tracks of and there was all his stuff and his sides with Grant Green ....and then that Japanese Blue Note set. Still have the Larry Young set - my favourite still. Bought all the Blue Note boxes and loved ringing up from the UK (as fast as I could as it cost a fortune) to place an order for the next one or ones I had missed.

All these years later I still miss BJP and cherish the odd evening to myself to immerse into the world of Big John Patton Tonight Dec 8th December it is the Minor Swing release

Imagine the squeals if they surprised us and turnout a nice odds and sods set ( a little like some of the older Japanese rarities) I know there is not a great deal and the prospect might not be real but I would still squeal! In all seriousness the prospect of another nicely compiled box of new bits and pieces along the lines of a Lost Grooves plan would just be enough

Same here - nowadays all these Mosaics have the same material I have where as previously they had absolute hidden treasures like the Larry Young or Hank Mobley or Lee Morgan sets that back then were really impossible to find on CD However that said - these are lovely sets to see - especially the Joe Henderson and Sonny Clark - I would love to have seen one that tied up a few artists like Baby Face Willette/Freddie Roach - or as others have said - long since unseen one LP wonders. Nowadays I still enjoy the ones I bought - last one was the JJ Johnson and the two Vee Jays with Lee Morgan Wayne Shorter and Paul Chambers and Wynton Kelly =they were nice sets

oh and that weird bid band thing from 1964 Big-Band Live at the Vestlandhalle, Recklinghausen, Germany, 1964 Not one song but all this

Also to add in the mix there was a radio dub (not "released") but recorded on WBCN Boston 1973-09-04 - cracking tracks see attached
