  1. Yeah, but she had Georgie Auld on her record. Not that there's anything wrong with that....
  2. This an Profile easily fit onto one CD...and also make for a very coherent listen that evolves as it plays - Tender Feelin's shows a more developed sense of arrangement than does Profile.
  3. i wanna go back to bed.
  4. There it is.
  5. As for that second cover, let us now have a pause and a click to consider one Irving Riggs: https://www.discogs.com/artist/2276999-Irving-Riggs There's a guy with a small but quite distinct legacy!
  6. or as it was in the stores when I was buying: pretty much a perfect record, imo.
  7. 1958. Although the Fox (1960) came to be on Contemporary, it was not recorded for them. It was recorded by David Axelrod for the HiFi Jazz label. For that matter...the Counce group didn't put out records until 1957, didn't even do their first session until late 1956, after Clifford Brown was dead.
  8. A rare feat indeed! I was wondering how Bock got in on Gerald Wilson in such a big way at Pacific Jazz in 1960, and it wasn't reall him, apparently, it was Albert MArx, which makes sense. http://jazzprofiles.blogspot.com/2017/10/gerald-wilson-then-and-now-1918-2014.html Richard Bock, president of Pacific Jazz records, had a roster of some of the most prominent musicians in what had come to be called the West Coast Jazz movement. They included Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Bud Shank and Bob Gordon. Bock did not have a big band on his label. "I knew Dick Bock and had followed his work," Wilson told me. "The first time I approached him about recording, in 1953, was at a Billy Eckstine record date I was visiting. And there were other occasions through the '50s when I ran into him and brought it up. He explained that, for various reasons, it was hard to record a big band. But in 1960, he called me. He had set up a deal through Albert Marx to record me." Wilson was under contract to Marx, the president of Discovery and Trend Records. Bock recorded the successful series of Gerald Wilson albums for Pacific Jazz, but Marx owned the records.
  9. wow...so the Pocahontas Suite remains LP only?
  10. But it's not issued as a separate disc, it's just a surprise add-on to the Carter/Kirchner Fromm record...everything else is a straight LP replica. Why they made this exception...not complaining, mind you.
  11. I do have that one.Also have his Mapleshade record, A Minute With Miles.
  12. The Fromm foundation box has a totally stealth treat in it - Elliot Carter's Piano Sonata as played by Charles Rosen, originally on an EPIC LP, but not Fromm-related as far as I can tell. Why it's included, I have no idea, there's zero indication unless you look in the booklet, and even there, you'd not find it except on the one page it's on. Mysterious! But happy!
  13. Coral Keys is coming out: As an LP, definitely. In the car, maybe not so much.
  14. Probably 0? These sets that are being offered are no longer available from Mosaic, they're long gone.
  15. Yeah, the guy who bought the catalog did not seem to have a good business plan and/or a lot of sustaining capital, but there was the website (that got very mixed reviews) and an Amazon store (that appeared to have been quite consistent. Here's one they need to get to sooner rather than later:

  17. Yeah, really. When was the system ever NOT gamed by somebody? It's kinda the point of having a system to begin with, if you couldn't game it, it would be all natural and nobody would pay money to see it. Some players are smarter than others about that, but hate the game, not the player.
