Tell your S.O. you want Dizzy for Father's day (even if you're not, you're celebrating the possibility) and Duke as a pre Christmans or a Thanksgiving present

Counting the Yankees out seems a little premature with so much of the season to play. As bad as they've looked in the past few days, they're doing it without some important players. I can't see the Red Sox running and hiding away. Randy Johnson? Who knows? We all do get old sooner or later.

I've seen this before but I can't remember where and the clip does show them playing. Good stuff, however.

I'm in also. Sounds exciting.

Hope this is available for Father's Day. Hint, hint.

Although I'm not a huge Buddy Rich fan, based on the Mosaic Singles that have come out, which were outstanding, I will pick these up. I've never heard Lee Wiley so I'll be waiting to see what she sounds like. Don't get the Collectibles comment.

True Blue is a fantastic album, one of my great purchases. I like the SteepleChase box but in parts. Not mentioned but also a great cd is A Day in Copenhagen with Slide Hampton. Well worth it if you can find it.

I've got the following Cds up for auction on Ebay. All in mint condition. Thelonious Monk - More Genius of Modern Music - Blue Note TOCJ Thelonious Monk - Genius of Modern Music - Blue Note TOCJ Freddie Redd - Everybody Loves a Winner Bill Plays George Gershwin - Blue Note Sarah Vaughan - After Hours at the London House - Verve LPR Friendship - Clark Terry and Max Roach - Columbia Gene Ammons All Star Sessions - Stitt, Farmer & Donaldson - Prestige Milt Jackson - Blue Note Mini LP - JRVG

Jazzmoose,Jazzmoose. Then he sells them on ebay afterwards. The Mosaics or the bubblewrap?

Probably all of the above. There's some music there I wouldn't be able to get in any other way. I know there have been some who prefer the individual cds which I just used to poo poo but I also now see their point of view. Sometimes, it's just easier to get through an individual cd than a whole box.

I don't care what the format is as long as they put out stuff. As noted, the so called LPRs didn't last that long, at least not in mini lp format.

From listening to some of the McShann sessions that featured both Bird and Jackson, it's hard to tell them apat. They sound similar. I know Phil Schaap has waxed poetic about Jackson. It might be that Jackson never got the break or ventured outside of the territorial bands.

I've got this set and I like it in parts but it's not like it's a must set for me.

I've got this set and I like it in parts but it's not like it's a must set for me.

Just added tonight: Art Blakey - Les Liaisons Dangereuses - Fontana - German Import Thelonious Monk - Genius of Modern Music - BN Japan aka Volume 1 Thelonious Monk - More Genius of Modern Music - BN Japan aka Volume 2

Did you try ebay? I'm sure there must be some on there.

They said they shipped mine Friday. Usually Mosaic shipping is really fast. Guess not these days, still ain't got it. What method do they ship now? I would think it would be there by Thursday or Friday. I got the notice on Friday but I don't think they shipped until Monday. Since I'm only one state way, 1 day is the norm. Yours probably also went out Monday.

If the Singles count, I'm enjoying Hard Bop, which I received today.

Just received my set of Singles. Listening to Hard Bop. Really enjoying Stella By Starlight.

I can't trace it now, but I've seen something on a BB about it, or maybe had an e-mail from Mosaic that I didn't keep (unlikely). Apparently, it's only going to include records Les made as a sole leader, so the ones he made with Groove Holmes, Jazz Crusaders, Teddy Edwards & Clifford Scott won't be included. MG Edit - It's not in the Mosaic upcoming projects list yet. First of all, I say this as a fan of McCann. I have most if not all of his PJ records. Considering that MC is on record as saying that he can't see a full-blown Three Sounds Mosaic set, why would he possibly be planning, or even considering, a Less McCann set? It would suffer from the exact same drawback: There's no variation in the albums, and too damn many of them (necessitating such a large number of discs that it becomes a very expensive set). In fact, the more logical approach would be to make a Select that brings together the sets that had guests on board. I would be very surprised if this comes to fruition, and if it does, I may just have to drive to Stamford myelf to point out to Michael that he no longer has an excuse for not doing a full blown Three Sounds Mosaic set. I'll be right behind you, holding your coat. Time for another email. It's been a long while.

A Love Supreme is not one of my favorites but I wouldn't begrudge its place in history.

Since I have none of Henderson's Milestone material, I'll probably get it. Other than that, I echo the other sentiments.

I like Congas myself but I'm buying a cd not just because it has them. If you like the Afro Cuban sound, more likely than not, you'll buy a cd with 'em. Odd choice for a poll, though.

I can't argue with this list too much. I probably would have included the Complete Savoy Dial of Parker since they do have some box sets in that 7. Also, is it the view that the JSP version of the Hot Fives and Sevens sounds better than Columbia's. I don't have the JSP version so I have no idea.

Actually, you wouldn't be disappointed Dan as it's a very nice disc and not all baronists have prominent roles.
