I expect this will be better than the 1966 box. But it seems to me that these releases are really about protecting copyright. I wish they would do a really high-quality release of the best concerts from the tour (longer than 2 discs, please). I really enjoyed the Complete Budokan four-disc set that was released last year.

One thing I'll say: if you want to get a jumpstart on an African music collection, you could do worse than just ordering a bunch of these. I'm getting rid of them really only because I have to downsize.

Hello, I have the following sets for sale. All items are in like new condition unless otherwise noted. PayPal only. PM if interested. All prices include shipping to the US. It's been a couple years probably, but I have often sold items here and have, I believe, a good track record and reputation. Thanks for looking!
Modern Jazz Quartet -- The Complete Atlantic Studio Recordings of the Modern Jazz Quartet, 1956-64 Mosaic #249 $95
Various -- Classic Black & White Jazz Sessions Mosaic 273) $100 (Discs 5 through 11 still sealed.) -
I actually think the Miles Blackhawk sets are underrated. Other than the Plugged Nickel box, it's probably the live Miles I prefer the most, at least from his pre-electric era.

Thanks for the info. I've dug back into the Sonny Rollins' bio, but I haven't read the Paul Chambers book yet and I really should. Years ago I nursed delusions of writing a biography of Paul Chambers. I am glad somebody actually took the time to do it.

Wanted to tap into the hive mind here for a moment. What is the best book that covers the milieu surrounding Blue Note in the 1950s and 1960s? It could be either a book that fixates on Blue Note as a label, or a book that fixates on the style of music that Blue Note centered on, or a book that is a biography or autobiography of a particular musician. Asking because I haven't heard good things about Richard Cook's Blue Note book. Also not looking for a book that is mainly cover art or photographs. Thanks.

Does anyone know how many leaders of Blue Note sessions pre-1970 are still alive? Off hand I can only think of Rollins, Burrell, Dizzy Reece, and Hancock. Anybody else?

Artists are frequently fed up with subsequent owners of labels issuing material they rejected at the time, John Fogerty has the right idea, as he destroys all unissued takes when they don't meet his standards. That way he will know that he won't be dealing with unapproved issues of rejects, unless he has a crooked engineer with a hidden hard drive or tape machine on the payroll, which is very unlikely, since it would make the engineer liable for future lawsuits.
For me, what's great about the Tone Poets is the cover art. Blue Note cover art is iconic, and the Tone Poets do a fantastic job of presenting that in full size. I prefer CDs to vinyl in general, but I like the Tone Poet series a lot. I honestly wish they would put the same production standards on all their catalog.

I know a writer that has started doing research in order to write a Andrew Hill biography.
I hope he's able to do it! Biographies are hard, but jazz I would argue is really suffering from good biographies outside the obvious ones (Coltrane, Davis, Armstrong, Ellington, Holiday, etc.) It was great to see the Sonny Rollins bio that came out not so long ago, and the Thelonious Monk bio that Kelley wrote is fantastic. Jazz needs much more of that kind of thing. More books on Davis and Coltrane ain't it.
-
In all seriousness, anybody think the world needs an Andrew Hill biography? I think among all but diehard jazz fans his name and work don't resonate as much as they should.
-
Between this and the upcoming Michael Veal book, somebody needs to alert the publishing industry that we don't need more books on Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Give me a book on Andrew Hill and Eric Dolphy.

I rather prefer it this way. I don't need yet another super-duper version of Moanin' or The Sidewinder. But Katanga (Curtis Amy) or Dance With Death (Andrew Hill), bring it on. They are doing a number of the Japan-first, Rainbow-later titles with cool artwork.
That's a good point, but if you want a new vinyl copy of the more common titles, what super-duper versions are in print right now? I guess what I'm saying is that I'd like to see them do the Tone Poet treatment for their whole catalogue from the 1950s and 1960s.
