Mosaic boxes are never sealed. The discs inside them are, if that's what you mean.

And after that, try this: and then be done with it!

The 2018 debut album of a seemingly wonderful quartet playing a program of 21st Century compositions by living American composers (all born between 1977 - 1991), all commissioned for the group and developed in personal collaborations between the composers and the band. It lives! Caroline Shaw's work (a reductive fantasy - my term, not hers - on Beethoven Op.18 No. 6) is short, but intriguing, as has been most of her work which I have heard. Add her to my list of living people to pay attention to! Here's the band playing the piece live:

From a strictly objective standpoint, the more you reduce your potential market, the more you reduce you chance of selling your product. Still, though, once you find a buyer, you get a sale. Keep trying.

I can find no YT clip for "The Revealing Time" which is the crown jewel of the bunch. It's like Unity, only played by a local Newark Band. But of course there's a nice boogaloo cut by the same quartet, and also of course there is a clip of that up:

20+ years later, what do we have here, right now? A lot of those people have futurized into being dead!

How about those two Buddy Terry Prestige LPs, one with Woody Shaw, Larry Young, & Eddie Gladden?

Hey now... "The Revealing Time".... also -

I'll tell you what does happen in New Orleans all the time - people with indulgences fuck up with the wrong people.

Finesse is imperative.

The ultimate inner sleeve imo was like Columbia used to do - a sealed plastic bag with a little perforation on top to tear off when you were ready to play the record for the first time. It's like checking into a hotel room and when you go to the bathroom you see that Sanitized for Your Protection strip across the toilet bowl, you know you're getting the very best there is to get. Downside, though - no catalog advertisements, or pictures about how stereophonic sound works or don't let a bad needle destroy your records. BUT - you can get that anywhere.

Ordered this last night, totally unaware of its existence until now. Thanks for pointing it out.

The one in Dallas separated into classical and everything else, iirc.

But those aren't really "sections", not like you have to leave one place to get to another. You just stay in the same place and walk a few steps over, you can walk anywhere and back again. Walking is healthy, especially for old people!

Yeah, well, all that happened. And then a lot of other stuff happened. And now?

(joe's on it, btw...)

Ah, but Wonder Bread is chemical. Gene Puerling was organic. Nothing chemical about basic vocal harmony, even with overdubbing. And good white bread, the kind you make from scratch, ain't nothing wrong with that! Smells good, tastes even better! Now here's some next-level whatever that "thing" is. I saw this guys live and it's STILL fucking me up! and it DAMN sure won't be played on the radio!

Jimi toured with the Isley Brothers. Clapton played with John Mayall. Those were two totally different worlds in so many ways, not the least one of which it what "time" means, how you move it it and to what end. I liked Cream well enough today through the lens of them being a 60s pop band, and no denying their role as an archetypical transitional band, but as far as anything of continuing musical relevancy, Hendrix FTW not even the same game, much less the same ballpark.

You guys read threads differently than I do, but ok, I get it, I guess. Still, I like all my records in the same store, and I like anarchy on the store's turntables.

It's essentially brass choir music. For me, a little of that goes a long way, and source material is everything.

I have neither the desire nor the ability to make an informed call on that one, I just think it's really funny in the dark/ironic way.

Yeah, like Woody got addicted to taking care of addicts!

Kenton Christmas is kinda like his National Anthems Of The World project - totally straight (and straightforward) readings, no intention of putting "jazz" into it at all. I don't care for it/them, but that's me, not it/them.
