Sorry, I wrote too quickly 3 LP set meant the 3 set of LPs (with a total 66 LPs)

For those interested, the set is available on streaming services, for example on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1nEDR8wbM7F1SlrwH7QUQd?si=p1Fpm-2aQjKqKvUSRxFwmw&utm_source=copy-link No liner notes, obviously.

Thanks for the info. I actually have the 3 LP set. Nowadays, I just like the convenience of having the tracks on my computer, that's all, but it does not stop me from listening...

A little late, but I found this online discography: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Commodore/CommodoreCDr.html The discography is larger than the Mosaic set, but it references those sessions included in the Mosaic set. I wish Mosaic would release that set in CD format.

This track gets me every time Short but sweet.

Its nice to have the album cover scans to read the liner notes, something you unfortunatel lose with streaming for one.

Thanks !

There are three: - For Basie, recorded in October 1957 - Basie Reunion, recorded in September 1958 - Like Basie, recorded in March 1959 You are right, the first is Page's last recording. The second has Buck Clayton and Jack Washington added and is also very enjoyable, IMO.

Was the Quinichette/Pierce Basie "reunion" group studio only?

I pre-ordered the set. Fills some gaps in my collection, sound quality is always excellent, liner notes should be good, and I support Mosaic...

Two cats and a girlfriend. Neither of them pay much attention to the speakers, which I keep stored in a corner of the flat and take out when no one is looking I will admit that they are "over the top", but the sound is really nice, even at low volume which is how I do most of my listening, to preserve my ears. I guess I would qualify as an "audiophile" - so a bit obsessive about the quality of sound "reproduction". We can obviously enjoy music whichever way it comes. I published a small interview with Jan Evensmo on an "audiophile" forum, and concluded by asking him about his equipment. He replied: "My audio equipment is very modest, just an amplifier, CD-player, turntable (with all speeds) and cassette player, all old stuff. Had to give up the reel player. And a pc connected to play all the music files I receive, plus spotify. I have never been very interested in sound as such. I noticed that people with expensive equipment always had very few records to play!!" I believe my interest in audio never comes before my passion for music, and this is why I am here (to discuss music, mostly) !

My DIY speakers. A little bulky! They sound great

If anyone has a pdf of Dan Morgenstern's liner notes on this box set, please PM me, I would be interested in reading them. Thanks. EDIT: just found it here ! https://musicbrainz.org/release/ea9b60b8-fd98-48df-b410-01271242a7d4/cover-art

Thanks. Had not seen that the tracks are available in this video, so that will satisfy my curiosity.

I am looking for the CD "Duke Ellington’s Sound Of Space" which is a bootleg of a Sun Ra concert https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/6825693?ev=rb If anyone here has it and may be willing to sell it (or a copy - it's a bootleg, after all...) please PM me.

If you can read the small print!

https://open.spotify.com/album/63yG9h4FSLRHo20YKMx7hq?si=pqpxJ9qhQT2fj32WLWjB7g&utm_source=copy-link Eastern Moods on Spotify. Label is "Records Reissue Company". Weird label that has mostly Armenian and Greek folk music in its catalog.

It does not seem to me that there is any Ellington (8 sounds close, but I would not bet on it, and 10 definitely not).

I ordered the LP on discogs after reading Jan Evensmo's solography here:http://www.jazzarcheology.com/don-joseph/ The entire album is also available on YouTube !

Here's a record of the occasion: https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/2462/nat-adderley/live-at-the-floating-jazz-festival-1994 Nat Adderley, cornet Vincent Herring, alto sax Rob Bargad, piano Walter Booker, bass Jimmy Cobb, drums I recognize Flip Phillips' signature on the top left. He was also there the previous year: https://www.discogs.com/release/9520470-Flip-Phillips-At-The-Helm-Live-At-The-1993-Floating-Jazz-Festival There's also Dick Hyman's.

Thanks.

Am curious to know what role Ellington really had as a producer of "Bud Powell in Paris". Did either Powell or Ellington ever discuss this collaboration?
