There's also that BN release called Art Blakey’s Messengers & James Moody and His Modernists - New Sounds - Blue Note (Modern Jazz Series)but I don't if it's still available.

Tjazz, You've got to be kidding. As a professional athlete, he needs to let the security guards handle this and he has to show some restraint. This is not about entertainment but about law and order, so to speak. He goes into the stands and beats up on some guy. Not only does he deserve to be suspended but he'll probably be doing some jail time also. It's too bad they couldn't kick him out of the game for that kind of conduct. Mess up the Pacer team. This thug needs to know that there are laws about battering people. This is no different than Tyson. Next time somebody thinks about going into the stands, they'll think twice. Instead of thinking about this in sports terms, think about it as person to person. If someone did this to you, that person would get the book thrown at him by the authorities.

I have this set but didn't get it on ebay. When I was trying to get it on ebay, however, the prices were astronomical. Sets a couple of years ago were going for around $800 to $1000. So, to get it around $200 is very good indeed. On ebay, lp sets don't get as much as they used to. People probably have less disposable cash than they used to.

I'm going to choose Jazz by Gee, by trombonist Matthew Gee. He didn't have too many leader sessions (there is one other he coled with Johnny Griffin) and this is one terrific cd, made up of two sessions recorded in 1956, with this lineup: The Quintet Ernie Henry Joe Knight Wilbur Ware Arthur Taylor The Septet Kenny Dorham Frank Foster Cecil Payne Joe Knight John Simmons Arthur Taylor I'm looking forward to talking about this cd.

Got it but not yet listened to it. Some of the cuts I heard though I don't know. It's Bud going through tough times. I don't expect it to be that much different from Strictly Confidential on Black Lion.

Many of us sell cds and let the others know through this forum. I think the objection is that you're only coming to this board for this purpose. I'm sure you're a jazz fan and we'd like you to participate in what this board is about. Obviously, no one can stop you and I don't think b3er will but why not participate in the rest of the board. You do have some good stuff and I might even bid but just don't only participate to sell stuff. Post and join the party!

This would seem to be Chuck's kind of guy and probably our kind of guy that we don't want since all of his post are in this forum. Let's pick up the torch. Dude, if you're going to make a contribution here that's fine but just don't show up to hawk wares.

I'm sure the people at Smoke weren't shocked but the writer is just finding out what all of us know and maybe some have experienced as he has. Now, whether or not he becomes a convert, well, who will ever know. But if he's more receptive to jazz (and he must have been to start with or why would he be at Smoke), then that's a good thing.

Eddie Higgins. Just great. Jim R is right about the Venuses. Very high quality. I've got about 4 of them and recommend them all.

This has been mentioned but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Bud Powell Bill Evans Sonny Clark Cedar Walton Duke Jordan John Lewis Bobby Timmons and the greatest of all Duke! The list goes on and on and on

Are you going to be signing any in the New York area?

Man, that's a lot of posts.

After reading the last two posts, that's all I need to know. However, I am quite jealous about the release party. That must have been something else.

Has anybody picked this up yet. It just came out this week and I was wondering if there was any feedback about it yet.

This is very strange. Amazon UK has it listed for pre-ordering but not Amazon US. I wonder if Amistad Press, the publisher, is European based. At any rate, it's something I'll want to buy.

I'm with Stefan on this. There are some good performances on there but it's not the most exciting Mosaic that you can get. As the saying goes, a little goes a long way. I'd probably hold off until they put it which I don't think will be for several years.

I figured that I'd save you some time so you can post more in the political forum

From time to time I pester Michael about putting out a Mosaic, a Select, anything. I asked again yesterday and the response I got from Mosaic is that "I believe he will be putting out some Three Sounds on Blue Note. There is nothing on the boards for next year for a Three Sounds Select. FYI - He just got approval for an Andrew Hill Select for February." Hopefully, something will come out and remind us of how good they were.

I sent an email to Mosaic regarding this numbering question and here's the answer: The numbers on Mosaic sets are sequential as the order is placed. The system assigns the next number which you may have noticed is on the invoice that is sent to you. That number is then written in the booklet at the time of packing. There can be some exceptions such as when a set is returned and that number is then recirculated back into the system. For Mosaic Selects, we get an initial delivery of the first 750 - 1000 sequential numbers. They are randomly picked. After that first pressing, the sets are picked at random.

Happy Birthday Aftab. Hope you enjoyed some Chet today.

Keep this man away from sharp objects. Works of art down the drain.

I just ordered this one. It's dangerous to read these threads.

Yes, it's time to throw in the towel (and the dollars!)

I got this and it's very good. I'm into my second listen. His rendition of Equinox is outstanding, almost Trane like without being slavish. Cherokee is my favorite of the bunch. George Cables: some very good solos here.

Shut the hell up. OK
