the really strange thing about that hamilton auction is that there is a second one that ends a day earlier that is half the price. one would think that, at this point, the earlier auction would have the larger price. plus there is no cross over in the bidders from one auction to the next.

It may have to do with the timing of events and how the license agreement was written, i.e., the license was given to manufacture the sets. apparently mosaic did not know that they had a problem until they went to manufacture their next batch to sit on their shelves. recognizing that the teddy wilson has a lower catalogue number than the smith, and assuming that the license for that one is over five year as probably the smith was, I asked mosaic this morning whether they could continue to sell the wilson. I was told yes though it was mentioned that the wilson set would probably go on the "running low" list later this year. In other words, MOsaic was not going to manufacture another batch. currently, there are over four hundred wilson sets available.

strange, I just talked to mosaic this morning and they said that there are 272 of the blue mitchell set left and 212 of the atlantic new orleans set.

perhaps this might be considered "rude," and if so, I apologize in advance. has anybody here been checking out this other board-freejazz.org. just came across it.

I got the capital studio recordings box from my mom and found (j R music) and bought for myself the ellington reprise set

For $19.00 new, sealed, including domestic shipping and handling. send me a pm

Appearing at the Van Dyck in Schenectady, NY next week: The Dewey Redman Quartet - December 19 - $15.00 One of the last of the great tenor saxes, with John Menegon from Woodstock on bass and special guests. http://www.ejn.it/mus/d_redman.htm

After wondering about the question as to whether Dee Dee Bridgewater gets me hot or not, it seems rather mundane to ask fellow board members whether they recommend a source for sleeves for cds. in advance, thanks.

Just wanted to alert all nick brignola fans, that the reservoir label has put out a recent live disc which represent all or most of the material from the sweet basil concert of a decade ago from which one disc's worth of music was already released.

cadence handles philology. I would think you would be able to get this cds from them.

I spoke with mosaic a couple days ago and they had slightly over two hundred of this ellington box set in stock. and then there are the copies sitting out in brick and mortar stores or other places like collector's choice. byw-they had only nineteen of the chico hamilton sets. can't remember how many jacquet though I think it was more than thirty and less than one hundred.

how about the von freeman live date recently released? sounds pretty good to me

how about that live date on leo with the disney tunes? if that funny or what? not actually a arkestra date but I like sun ra's piano on billy bang's tribute to stuff smith on sould note/black saint

check out janet grice on bassoon-her music has a latin tinge

funny, I just finished reading sudhalter's book about white jazz players. sudhalter holds purvis in high esteem

at bard college on march 22nd about 1 hour south of albany, north of redhook new york. appearing with andrew cyrill dave burrell and reggie workman as i recall

just wanted to start a thread that was actually about jazz and considering the origin of the site name I just wanted to drop that I head joshua redman about two weeks ago with sam yahel on organ and keyboards. christ there was more electronic gear per musician then i have seen in awhile. redman has some 8 pedals in front of him that he could hit while playing his sax. I alway wondered about being able to split your concentration when doing something like that. yahel did about three tunes on the organ and then walked over to a completely different setup which had rhodes on a 90degree angle to what I think was a synth. fun update to the classic tenor organ date. while I have a bunch of organ recordings can't say I have seem more than a couple in concert. the other one was jimmy smith and I want to forget about that performance. the club was filled that is about 150 people. the next night that couldn't have had more than 30 for the cindy blackman quartet which was a better concert in my opinion. later

you gotta love pharoah-poses a problem and when the water gets too hot then backs out.

check out cuber on live at the blue note on pro jazz which is his best recording on that label. has a couple good recordings on steeplechase. he and nick and I believe cecil did a date that was a three baritone band about 6 years ago. not an original player but so what? lots of fun to listen to
