I thought Ed's post were right on. It's really a ghost town and it's very saddening to think that only one week ago it was a thriving place. However, I think that is what management wanted. They didn't want the hardcore fans like us dissecting everything or analyzing this or that. They want people who will come there because of Norah and buy their new stable of artists and some of the new RVGs, etc. they put out. It wouldn't surprise me if the RVGs and traditional pre-70 jazz doesn't get issued as much as it did in the last few years. The one thing is that the hardcore of us that came to be BNBB have found this new home and AAJ to go to continue.

Mr. Son-of-a-gun, you hit the nail right on the proverbial head. There's not enough material there for a Mosaic Select, unless the Red Menace can find unissued material in the NKVD archives

I had heard only one Jones disc before, Jayhawk, and what impressed me from this set was Strazzeri. I had not heard him before and he was revelation. Carmell to me is definitely more in the Brownie sphere as opposed to say the BN Lee Morgan/Byrd style.

Is offering for sale ok as opposed to trade. What about providing a link to your own ebay auctions. I assume that if you saw an ebay auction that would be of interest to all of us, that would be ok. Are you keeping it greazy
