Evan, You should love your children more but Mosaics are prized possessions. You certainly did not overpay. I think you got a good deal. It actually surprises me how little attention the Chaloff set gets. CDRs is not a bad idea (although I've never done that myself). If by falling down the Rabbit's hole, have you opened Pandora's box, or can you put the toothpaste back in the tube (or can I think of any more dumb cliches!)? The answer is YES! It's over dude.

Wow! I've never seen that set go that high. That's amazing. Stefan is right.

Not even Fort Knox could hold Lon's collection . Sangrey's and Lon's together must take up a good part of Texas. That's why the state is so big

I've said this before but they have no peers in customer service. They're just the best, in my opinion. I received the Bird box as a present and ruined the box. They then sent other another. Unbelievably, I dropped the box and they sent another one. I couldn't believe it. All, at no cost.

It only looks to be available as a JRVG. At current exchange rates, Hiroshi could get it for you for around $21. I'm going to order some stuff from him so if you like I can ask him to throw in a copy and it'll just cost you that plus shipping. Let me know.

It depends. Generally, no. But when you get real masters doing it, like Bird and Brownie, that's a different story. Even then, not in terribly extended doses.

Ahhh, Moose, a man with convictions I, on the other hand, am just a jellyfish

I heard from Ed recently. He graciously sold me a Dexter cd, "High School" for which I'm much appreciated. Thanks, Ed.

Hal, Out of the spirit of fellowship, I have deleted the post. Although this is a public forum, it is one for jazz fans who have similar interests. I just don't believe it is approriate for you to take offense at what you peceive to be slights at what you're trying to accomplish when none was intended. I wish you the best of luck in liquidating your father's collection and thank you for the 3 cds that I purchased from you. Let's leave it at that.

Of the two trumpet recs here, my vote would go for the Byrd with Art Farmer. It took me a while to get that one but it was worth the wait. There's also that Double or Nothing cd with Conde Candoli and Lee although they don't actually play together too much on the cd.

No, it ain't. If you look at what RC posted, it shows over 7,000 auctions in Jazz. Well, this morning there were over 11,000. What happened is that if you, as a seller, don't click on the genre, your auction will be lost in the maze of other crap (no insult intended). In their wishes to improve, they've made it very difficult.

I was just looking at ebay and unless my computer is screwed up here it looks like those idiots have removed all the subcategories, jazz, rock, blues, etc., what have you, so that you all get is one big category for CD, all 50,000 + auctions. Unless you have something in mind, browsing is now out of the question. I love these people who are always trying to fix what ain't broke.

Well, here's another dumb question. But isn't 6/8 the same as 3/4, unless I suck at math.

Dude, That' all you gotta say "good stuff". It's more than that. Do have his disc with Newman "Wide Open Spaces" or "Tenorman" under the leadership of Lawrence Marable. If you don't, you gotta get 'em NOW!!

For a current listing you may want to look at the hmv web site, HMV and order from Hirsoshi or them. There are some recent Sounds JRVGs that have come out.

Way to go little rabbit man

I'm wondering why you might be offering this for sale here when you have it listed on ebay (at a cheaper price), unless this is a duplicate.

It might help if you give a general idea of what you're looking for. People don't like to operate in a vaccum.

Hal, Is the Wilson still available?

That we even debate crap like this is incredible. Now, if you want to talk about something like when the Moncur set got messed up, that's another story.

Besides what' been mentioned, this one is good: Louis Hayes featuring Yusef Lateef and Nat Adderley on Vee-Jay. Not sure how available it is, however.

This seems to be a relatively trivial problem compared to the music you've received.

The Yusef cd is one of the best cds I've heard lately. I don't have a lot of his cds and after I listened to this one, I'm asking myself why. His playing is just so strong. The rhythm section are top rate. They're killers man. Hugh Lawson? Yes! For those who don't like flute, give it a try. First there is not that much flute on here and his approach to playing the instrument is a sax conception. This gets a strong HELL YEAH! I've located a copy of Soul Sisters and I'm on my way soon to pick it up.

Well, I've got all the Reese on TOCJs so that's a pass and I don't know that much about the Liebman set but if it's a lot of soprano sax I'm inclined to take a pasadena.

Shrdlu, See this link about the possible Fantasy sale.
