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?

Have been listening a lot to "Intuition" recently (among other) - the Marsh session. Very intetesting and "refreshing". I really look forward to the Mosaic set.

I was going to pre-order the CD (11$ seemed reasonable), then saw the shipping costs to France !

The same thing happened with silent films, many of which were just discarded by the production companies.

Jan Evensmo published a (short) solography on Bolton: http://www.jazzarcheology.com/dupree-bolton/

I also find the music more fun to watch on YouTube than listening to it on my stereo. https://youtu.be/WpQjN7yQ_8c https://youtu.be/_Tu-qDHSSZo

This compilation seems pointless. The selection is all well known stuff readily available in multiple anthologies. No real effort seems to have been taken in selecting tracks. It seems they just picked the top of the charts.

Here is a link to the web archive of the catalog with some discographies: http://web.archive.org/web/20060805160412/mosaicrecords.com/departments.asp?dept=5

Some of them were, but the pages were no longer linked to the main web site.

The new website is up and it looks nice. I hope they will eventually include discographies of all box sets.
