I posted somewhere else that I would probably pass on this one... Now you have me tempted! Mosaic may have my money after all. Should have avoided this thread

Mine cost me €19! OK it was not brand new but the booklet was untouched. There was a slight problem with one track on disc 2. A bit of spit and polish did the trick. The disc plays fine now And the set is really beautiful!

Benny Carter 'Jazz Allstar Orchestra Live in Japan '79' (Paddle Wheel) The Allstar orchestra include Cat Anderson, Joe Newman, Jimmy Cleveland, Budd Johnson, Cecil Payne, Joe Kennedy, Ray Bryant, George Duvivier and Harold Jones!

I have the original vinyl of the Marion Brown ESP1022 with the cover photo by Charles Shabacon (an excellent photographer by the way who also took strong photos of Sun Ra). That vinyl has 'Exhibition' on side B. The label to side B reproduces the cover shot. The side A label is a regular label lising the contents of both sides! And Bennie Maupin plays (and is wild!) on that Exhibition! The third photo you posted was taken during a walk down the Champs-Elysees avenue! Happy times! Will have to get this new release/reissue...

Michelle Pfeiffer Stan Getz Helen Merrill

Was not aware about this Shorter (Wayne) problem! By the way, the cover photo is part of a series of slides of mine I left with Bernard Stollman before the release of this album. The photo was taken at a concert Marion Brown gave in the gardens of the American Center in Paris. The place now houses the Cartier foundation. Glad to see that Stollman made good use of my photos! The American Center has quite a number of great jazz concerts at the time by artists like Sonny Murray, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Anthony Braxton and others. The American Center relocated in the new Bercy district on the Seine River banks but had to close for lack of funds back in 1996

Are you going to let us hear some samples soon?

When it came out, I shied away from the 'Hot Hazz on Blue Note' 4CD box because I already hall all the music on various BN and Mosaic albums but when I ran into one of those boxes on sale for the price of a single CD today, I could not let this one pass. Superb box with notes by Dan Morgenstern. Sound restoration and mastering by Malcolm Addey. Love this!

How did this effort for Epic come about? A quick break from BN? Every time I spin this one, I wonder. ← Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (with Horace Silver) recorded for Columbia at the time, including the classic 'The Jazz Messengers'. Silver led the 'Silver's Blue' sessions at around the same time for Epic, a Columbia label. Then Silver signed with Blue Note and went on to record all his great albums.

Woody Shaw with Anthony Braxton 'The Iron Men' (Muse)

From The St. Petersburg Times today:

There were a couple of Basie tributes in the mid-fifties: Shorty Rogers Courts the Count on Victor in 1954 Buddy Rich 'This One's For Basie on Norgran in 1956

I'm not THAT great -_-

He was skedded to appear at a poetry evening in San Clemente on the eve of his birthday. He seems to be doing fine on the poetry circuit

Superb - and forgotten - comper John Williams Listen to the records from the Stan Getz quintet with Bob Brookmeyer!

Bon appetit!

Pretty good score. Ralph Burns had Marvin Stamm on trumpet and Al Cohn and Zoot Sims in the orchestra. Al Cohn is heard on some tracks. Should relisten to that album!

The Mercury VSOP Album set I have has the regular 4 LPs. No extra disc

Horace Silver

Bobby Hutcherson 'Now!' (BN Liberty) with Harold Land, Kenny Barron, Joe Chambers, etc...

Had a good deal on the first vinyl Revenant Holy Ghost. And being a sort of Ayler completist, could not let the opportunity pass... The sound does not add anything when compared with the CD box. But the allblack cover of the vinyl set looks great and it has three transparent records inside, just like the original vinyl of 'Bells'!

Celine Dion offered her version of the song 'A Paris' (To Paris) for the Paris bid for the 2012 Olympics. The song would become the official theme of the Paris Olympics. One more good reason to hope that London will be the chosen city! Go London, Go
