  1. The Times has done it again, with one on Mary Lou Williams. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/05/arts/music/mary-lou-williams-jazz-music.html
  2. Avid is one of those pd labels that doesn’t have a good reputation. I’d avoid them.
  3. Some similarities but I go with that there are pieces that DL mirrors.
  4. This hits the nail on the head. I listen to the Muses or what was reissued on 32Jazz consistently. I’ve only listened to the Roulette box once.
  5. Perhaps I should have asked how old were you when you bought your first Mosaic set.
  6. True but I did ask if you purchased Mosaic sets. It’s interesting that most people started purchasing them years ago, which makes sense.
  7. Thanks to Jim and all for keeping this going and making it a vibrant place, including TTK 🤣
  8. The last session is wonderful. The one with Russell Garcia and strings is so so.
  9. I thought it might be a worthwhile endeavor to see the age of people who buy Mosaic Records sets, whether from Mosaic, Jazz Messengers or third party sources like eBay or Discogs.
  10. A very strange discussion but maybe TTK is just trying to get people going. My thoughts on this are closer to Lon’s. I like what and how they do it. They may be selling to white men but I’d be curious what the age group of buyers are. Perhaps a poll is needed. I have no interest in 78s so I don’t think that part holds up.
  11. Yes, but the replies to his comment took him to town.
  12. Slow moving merchandise apparently. Surprised to see the Blakey on there. Price reduced from $40 to $24.
  13. The best bet for the Mehegan date seems Fresh Sounds.
  14. Almost done with this. Interesting book although not really a spy novel, which is what I expected. Not sure what to turn to next. May do a re-read of The Honorable Schoolboy or Claude Simon’s The Flanders Road. As I like to read both non fiction and fiction books simultaneously I’m currently focusing on
  15. From the Vogue box.
  16. I listened to this yesterday and for the first three or four songs I wasn’t getting it, almost ready to toss into the sale pile, but then it started to click on the fifth song and I got what they were doing. It’s a cd that requires repeated listening; I listened to it twice. Someone mentioned that GT Hogan’s drumming reminds them of Blakey. The only difference I heard was that Hogan’s playing is softer, unless it’s a miking issue. This cd is sort of a buried gem in Dorham (and Henry’s) work.
