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

I've never heard of this until now but it does sound like a recipe for disaster, everybody heading off in the completely opposite direction. Must have been something else for those who were there.

Enjoy those Mosaics. That's what birthdays and holidays are for

A classic indeed. Not a bet I'd like to make.

You don't have this yet? Man, you gotta get it NOW!
