I mean it in a good way. Of the currently in print Mosaics, I'd like to know which people like to listen to when they want to hear something that is more contemplative or melancholy, the kind of music you want to listen to while pouring yourself a stiff drink and pondering the futility of human existence.
Hmmmmmm....
They don't HAVE a Hank Williams Mosaic...
......or a Leonard Cohen........
Leonard Cohen Complete Columbia Recordings- 6 CD with 48 pages booklet including all the lyrics.
I'd buy something like that in a snap.

A few recommendations from a proud owner of 30+ of Abdullah Ibrahim albums.
Banyana- The Children Of Africa with its majestic Ishmael.
Good News From Africa- duet with Johnny Dyani
- both albums on Enja.Anything from his band Ekaya (unfortunately their best self-titled album is out of print).
From his recent albums- Yarona & African Magic are both great piano trio albums- again on Enja.
Also there is a video aptly titled "A Brother With Perfect Timing" that offers a great insight into his music.

This article doesn't mention anything about 4000 series labels except that these series were created specifically for Ella Fitzgerald output.
The article mentions orange labels, and associates them only with the 2000 series. Your LP is not from the 2000 series. Should we infer from their information that orange labels were used in the 4000 series? How about the 8000 series?
What I find interesting is that the orange label in the image you posted above has a black "T". I don't remember seeing that before. The orange labels I have seen had a yellow T, like the one on the page I linked.
Then one of these two must lie. The question is- which one?
-
BTW, have anyone seen Ella Fitzgerald albums with "trumpet player" label? I've never seen one.
Not sure, but she's one of the artists on the "Jazz at the Hollywood Bowl" LP set, and that was issued with a trumpeter label (see the first Verve LP image on the page I linked above).

Verve was Norman Granz' flagship label, which he began by consolidating his previous labels, Clef, Down Home and Norgran, and reissuing the bulk of the earlier titles. On the 2000 series, Verve used an orange or a blue label prior to switching to black with "Verve Records, Inc" on the bottom. For the 8000 series, the label was black with silver print and "Verve Records, Inc" on the bottom from 1956 through 1960, when the label was sold to MGM.
Most of the early printings through approximately 8390 featured the outline of a trumpet player (courtesy of David Stone Martin and a carry-over from Clef and Norgran labels) in the upper left. Later mono albums had a large "T" design (that looks somewhat like a thumb tack) splitting the label in three.
Note: the trumpet player on a later number does not automatically mean that it is a first pressing. Granz apparently used whatever label was available to him at the time of pressing. Nonetheless, the "trumpet player labels" are highly sought after and usually commands a premium when there is a choice between the "T" label and the "trumpet player".
The 1000 series was for traditional jazz while the 2000 series was used primarily for "pop" oriented selections, although some jazz, especially vocals, found their way here. Early pressings of the 2000s have an orange label, replaced by a light blue label and then, finally, the familiar silver on black "T" label. The 4000 series was created for Ella Fitzgerald's protean output.
What each of the above label variations had in common (with the 8000s) was an "MGV" prefix and "Verve Records, Inc" along the bottom perimeter of the label. When select titles were remixed in stereo and issued on the 6000 series in late '59, an "MGVS" prefix was used.
When the label was purchased by MGM in 1960, most of the catalog was reissued with the monos designated with a "V" and the stereos with a "V6", the original 8000 series number being kept of both. The new parent company retained the original label (black with silver print) but "MGM Records - A Divison of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc" was included on the bottom. A reissue series using a "VSP/VSPS" prefix was issued in the mid-'60s with most, if not all, of the stereo being rechanneled. From 1966 through 1971, MGM's Sunset address is also on the bottom. From 1972-75, a white label with blue MGM and Verve logos was used. White labe promos were issued.
From here.
Thanks. Looks like it is actually an original pressing unless there was one with "trumpet player" label.
BTW, have anyone seen Ella Fitzgerald albums with "trumpet player" label? I've never seen one.

Found today two-fer of "Ella Fitzgerald Sings Rodgers and Hart" in a dollar bin.
It has a regular gatefold cover (like the one on CD)
but labels are orange (like one in this picture).
Judging from an appearance of jacket & cover (though it's pretty much Vg+ to M-) it doesn't look like a 70's or 80's re-issue.
Could it possibly be an original mono pressing?
I appreciate any information on this.

The visit to the local fleamarket brought the following LPs among others:
Ron Carter- Piccolo;
Howard Roberts- Is A Dirty Guitar Player & Color Me Funky;
Alice Coltrane- Transfiguration;
Old & New Dreams- self-titled ECM debut;
Don Ellis- At Fillmore;
Don Cherry- Hear & Now;
Jiri Stivin & Rudolf Dasek- Tandem-Koncert v Lubliane (was particularly happy to find this one)

This one is a favorite of mine & it sounds fantastic too.
I'm definitely on the lookout for the rest of Al Cohn's Xanadu albums.

This is from an email I got from Ayler records:
Nick Pitt in Coda:
(…) Charles Gayle’s Live at Glenn Miller Café is a shocking, arresting, fascinating and rewarding pleasure. Like the great Free Jazz and New Thing records from over four decades ago it will nourish and challenge for years to come. Find it.
We also think this CD belongs in the Top Group of Free Jazz recordings through the years.
Find it… Ok, we know by experience that it is not that easy to find it in today’s record shops in spite of all our efforts.
Therefore, we offer you to get the CD directly from us, along with titles from the Charles Gayle’s back catalogue on our sister label Silkheart Records.
All titles available at a Special Christmas Price per CD: US$ 12 or € 9 (including shipping).
When ordering 3 or more: US$ 10 and € 8 !
Valid through November and December 2006.
• Charles Gayle Trio - Live at Glenn Miller Café (AylCD-015)
• Charles Gayle Quartet - Raining Fire (SHCD137)
• Charles Gayle Quartet - Translations (SHCD134)
• Charles Gayle Trio - Spirits Before (SHCD117)
• Charles Gayle Trio - Homeless (SHCD116)
• Charles Gayle Quartet - Always Born (SHCD115)
Order as many CDs you want from: www.ayler.com and www.silkheart.se at the same time – no shipping costs!
Any specific recs on these?
Guess they're all good if you're hardcore Gayle fanatic.
Otherwise I'd suggest to get Touching On Trane (FMP, w/William Parker & Rashid Ali) & Live At Knitting Factory & start from there. I've had number of Gayle CDs over the years, haven't really warmed to his style & sold most of them. The two above are quite special though.

Hmmm - I find several things to disagree with in that article:
"the music he made was meditative and tuneful, between Suzuki and Snow White."
OK, I get the Snow White (Someday), but is there some Suzuki other than Shinichi Suzuki? Because he's the string education guy and it's absolutely stupid to use his name in this context. He's not some famous Japanese composer. Sounds like alliteration got the better of him.
As for the Schubert/Nat Cole thing - we can find many earlier examples of musicians fluent in jazz and classical music - Benny Goodman? Art Tatum?
Saying that Bill Evans "discovered" Scott LaFaro isn't accurate. I believe the credit goes to Tony Scott for introducing them.
Mike
No, that was Damo Suzuki of Can. Same "rarified" emotions. Just listen to "Halleluwah" or "Soup".

All of Tony Scott's Philology releases are available from Cadence.

How about Joel Futterman- Cafeteria?
Any further underground- and you may hit the Earth core.

Other than as a curiosity, I can't take Arthur Doyle seriously.
Yup. Neither could Charles Tyler, who issued the record. I should correct that to say Charles said (when I asked him about the record) "Arthur has some problems".
Charles Tyler is one of my all time favorites, he really tells stories with his music.
I wonder if there's any possibility of releasing some of his live material from 70's & 80's, something like Ayler Records did with Jimmy Lyons box.
As for Mr Doyle- once I happened to stumble upon him playing (he opened for Charles Gayle)- that was quite an experience.
I think Dmitry from this forum may still have that stuff on tape.

Beside Mosaic Selects it can be a good deal on CDs from Criss Cross & Steeplechase. You could buy them for $9-10 a pop, shipping & all.
There're some names worth mentioning:
Walt Dickerson, Johnny Dyani, Louis Hayes, Stanley Cowell- Steeplechase;
Ted Brown, Kenny Barron, John Swana- Criss Cross
Jimmy Raney- both labels.

And that's another thing - I've never seen a cat @ a bus stop w/a Leroy Vinnegar side in his bag.
That's because when I bought my copy of this record at a secondhand record store a couple of years ago I took the car to get home, not the bus!
Yeah, if you carry Leroy's side in your bag, you don't want to take chances.

I've got myself a business plan.
How about 5% kick back for the idea?
