Hi, I would like to buy the Curtis Fuller if still available. Shipped to a friend in ILL. BR Anders in Stockholm

Aaron Bell 77 is really a trip - quite swingy!

Art Pepper Meets The Rhytm Section on Stereo Records 1958. My dad bought that so I've had Access to it from early years.

+1

Told you so - It's not Jazzy but there is always a Groove in Herbie's work;-.) Future Shock was kind of cool when it came out - we had heard nothing like it ;-)

Yeah strnage to have the stereo arrows on the cover. If used they should IMO be pointing inwards instead of outwards ;-)

+1. That box is truly excellent. The Maynard Ferguson Roulette would be my other contender.....

Wow - almost a shame I have all of it on CD and a lot on Vinyl. The Flood and Directstep albums are great and some of the later stuff is pretty cool too if you don't expect jazz.

This is very very surprising and very very sad to hear. He was one of the house Gods to me and my family. A big part of the soundtrack of our lives. I have EREYTHING this man put out as solo artist and have listened to him since 1979. Now my kids love him too and we have had him on heavy rotation the last couple of days. And I among with many others had the pleasure of meeting him after a concert in Stockholm. He was truly the nicest guy! We will miss you.

Mine works fine after several years. A really great box musically!

I like the Ruth LP quite a bit! Some fine playing there.

And one more PM ;_)

My stulys is from 1995 still going strong ;-) Before you think I'm too crazy there was a long time I maybe only played an LP once every week or so.....It looks fine through a microscope and sounds great with no mistrackin. Only problem is with LPs with groove wear which I try to avoid anyway.

I was checking out the availability of the Lenny McBrowne album when I noticed that Don Sleet is part of one of his bands. That reminded me of Sleet's All Members and what an overlooked gem it is. Here's a link to a website where you can listen to Eastern Lights. My link Nice Link! It is really wonderful melodic bop ;-) And Don Sleet's All Members CD is great too!

The hours on the Cartridge is not an absolute answer. The kind of wear is also depending on what kind of records you play or to be more specific what condition they are in. If you play heavily worn and dirty records the stulys gets bad quicker. Also if you play heavy metal it wears down almost instantly (just kidding it's your ears that wear down... )

If the cartridge plays without any mistracking distorsion it should be fine and not damage your precious black gold. You can however make a visual inspection to see that the tip is OK. Requires a microscope though.

Lenny McBrowne Eastern Lights is very overlooked terrific swingin melodic hardbop!

Yeah that kind of superscore only happens once a year - like APRIL 1st

For some later great "70s fusion" Adderley I would like to recommend "Phenix". That's a great Double LP or Single CD.

Yep it's there on the back but I much preferred the hand-written numbering ;-)

Hi just got the set the other day and so far very pleased Curiously enough my set did not include a limted edition number. Why so? I will mail Mosaic and ask.

Na, will have to spin my LP a while longer. It is the best of the Crusaders Lighthouse session IMO!

Just got the Encore! The other day and it's indeed a very good session on first listeng. Since it was recorded only 5 days after the first Golden Eight in may 1961, I was however a bit surprised that the CD is in mono. Any thoughts on that? The original GE is in stereo and I guess was recorded in the same studio in Cologne, Germany. The sound quality is fine but stereo would be nice - especially for a 1961 recording.

Could not resist the Modern Jazz Quartet anymore. Damn! Any love for it?
