I received the Richards and spun it a little bit. The music is a little to say, unusual. Not your normal orchestrations.

Still waiting for DG to get back to me.

I have the bottom one. No complaints.

Bud Powell for less than $40? That's a steal.

Can't say I have one, yet.

I assumed this out but it looks like it's not due to be released until next week.

Stretching is key. I have a five minute routine I do every work day. Also you can do exercises just sitting in your chair and try to get up and move around hourly. I actually brought a timer into work just to remind me to do that.

I must be the only one that didn't find the bebop Gryce recordings particularly fascinating. A lot of it didn't strike me as bebop and the music just didn't hit. I also didn't find the arrangements particularly fascinating. The other that I picked up, among them Sidney Bechet were outstanding, particularly that one.

I particularly found fascinating the story about how this music was found. I knew nothing about "pickers" until I read the notes.

I like Academy and Tower up by Lincoln Center. I don't like Virgin: the location, the prices, etc.

See this link.

Enjoy it man.

Sounds like a must. I haven't been that thrilled with some of his offerings lately. Nice but sort of blah.

That's a price that's hard to beat. Wonder how they can afford to do it? Volume, volume!

It is Blue Note

Email sent. Thanks.

Reach Out seems like a strange choice. However, it has not generally been available and the TOCJ sightings aren't all that strong either. It's not my favorite Mobley but I do see the logic in putting it out.

As for the above, I know I've said it before but, the argument you present really only holds water if we assume that a significant percentage of the U.S. jazz buying public actively seeks out Spanish(?!) Blue Note reissues. I'm just not sure that's the case... ← But Brandon, did you catch the thread the other day where people were ordering them from Dusty Groove? I go to two stores that sell quite a few copies of this as well. It is one of the Spanish Blue Notes that is selling very well. After all, it is a TOCJ mastering so it's sounds pretty darn good. If this was "Rolling With Leo", there would be zero competition from this Spanish series. I think they should have gone for "Rolling With Leo". Later, Kevin Kevin ← I have to agree with Kevin. I don't know about the jazz buying public but I'm sure this Boards accounts for a good percentage of that and I'm sure most of us here have heard about the Spanish BNs, which is how I got mine.

You wouldn't say it if there was some real reissues to put out, not retreads.

Yeah, that Lonehill Eddie Davis cd looks inviting. Any views, brownie?

Damn!

I think Chuck's (and Mike's) post highlight the difference. Until now, all previously issued on cd Fantasy material has been generally available in cd whereas Mosaic specializes in a lot if what is not available.

I can't ever see that happening and after seeing Mike's post, I now see why.

It doesn't always take that much to aggravate a back. It doesn't necessarily have to be heavy and you can get a spasm just sitting. Yes, that happened to me and it wasn't pretty.

Wonderful musician. I'll always treasure the Plectrist
