Dub Modal

Very cool to hear this. I'm currently in grad school, but am about 20 years or so most of my classmates' ages. None of them have any CDs. There may be a small number of them with records but music is almost exclusively accessed via streaming. Albums have a kitsch factor that CDs do not, and I don't ever see these kids adopting a preference for CDs. As stated above, if Mosaic's CD sets are probably aimed at Gen X or older domestically, and the international segment abroad that still buys them. Ah, my apologies @David Ayers I mistakenly missed your wording regarding transfers.

Tommy Flanagan's Something Borrowed, Something Blue

I think all the vinyl they're producing is AAA with Kevin Gray mastering. The Mobley CDs were done by Malcom Addey, so I don't think they're the same.

Well, the Mobley set got them some cash flow and maybe they think the JH set will do the same. I'm thinking a Lee Morgan set would do better in that regard - more like Mobley in that some of those albums aren't easy to find on CD and SQ improvements (more than marginal IMO) would help move product. Then use that cash flow for other connoisseur sets.

I have to assume they've got everything relevant listed at this link: https://archive.org/details/audio?sin=&and%5B%5D=black+and+white&and%5B%5D=subject%3A%22music%22&sort=&page=2 If you scroll down there's a good amount of B&W 78s, etc. listed and downloadable in several different file types.

Oh, for sure. It's easy to come by for pretty cheap. My reasoning for possibly getting the Mosaic set was because they improved the sound so much on those Mobley albums that if the same was done for JH then these would become my go-to's for them. A difference here too is that at least some of those Mobley CDs weren't so easy to come by (Hi Voltage, Thinking of Home...). The Henderson BNs aren't so hard to find. I think it was Universal that put that Henderson 5 Original Albums set out which included Our Thing, Inner Urge & In N' Out (along with the 2 VV trio sets). Great music but with BN pushing out their own specialty vinyl now at AAA, these may be a harder sell than the Hank set for newbies. (also likely a reason these will be CDs instead of LPs - can't help but think it would not be licensed for vinyl with Tone Poets & BN 80s/Classics being produced in house) It would be awesome if they could reissue the Hank 50s set. I missed that one.

I've had one Collectables CD, a Lester Young comp that was so no-noised I had to sell it back.

If it's just the BN albums from this era (and I guess it would have to be, unless there's some live material to be included?) then the only one I don't have is Page One. I'd be tempted to pick up a Mosaic set if the SQ is done the same as the Mobley one.

I searched archive.org for Basie on Columbia and came back with this: https://archive.org/details/audio?and%5B%5D=count+basie+columbia&sin= Not exactly what you may be looking for, but it may be an opportunity to comb through various CDs/LPs and check for SQ. Searching for Decca and I found this: https://archive.org/details/audio?and%5B%5D=count+basie+decca&sin= Looks like a lot of 78 transfers, which may beat GRP. I think you can download these and make your own CD-R if necessary.

Stenson's Cantando really was not working for me, so I moved on to Sam Jones' The Chant which is really good. Les Spann's guitar is way in the back and completely understated. If I wasn't listening on headphones I may have even missed it... Then on to Non jazz but Leroy Sibbles is always good so here it is.

Thanks Glad you're hanging in there. Good idea on the journal, and I'm not reading much of anything mainly b/c I don't have the energy. Short windows of time happen when I can jump on here or elsewhere online and then it's back to laying down. So at least that keeps me away from reading covid stuff online. 100% this is a bad bitch.

Thanks guys. And I hope Dmitry is getting better. I had the rare symptom of vertigo with this which lasted about 2 days. Glad that's over but the fatigue, sore throat and cough are staying strong. I'm in isolation at my house, taking OTC meds and monitoring my temp and blood oxygen via a pulse oximeter. There's good people checking up on me as well which is very much appreciated.

Thanks man. I get it. Stress and loneliness are hard not to get weary of but either is better than feeling like this.

Well, got my COVID positive test this past Monday (from a test taken Sunday). Symptoms showed up late that day and have taken their toll on me all week. This stuff is terrible. You don't want it. I'm way younger than vaccine age and would consider myself healthy: eat mostly right, do HIIT workouts about 5-6 times a week, and have no pre-existing conditions. But this is so bad that I could easily see how it could take a bad turn at any time. So yall, please be careful and don't get weary or overconfident.

Did they even press 2000 I wonder? Wasn't this one on the new model of quasi-press on demand? Probably the best SQ of this material available is what I've read.

Probably priced under market but stores need cash flow.

Well said One of the best, although for me it's hard to overlook him. Those live Black Hawk dates are all essential IMO.

I enjoy that Mosaic Select of the RivBea Orchestra. Can't necessarily listen to the 3 CDs back to back, but the music is great. Haven't gotten these newest releases but definitely on my radar.

This is just what I need right now.

Toans for Joan's Bones. Ferrell & Shaw take off on this one.

Welcome RTM! I'm wondering - does copyright prevent Mosaic from reprinting booklets from the OOP sets? If printing is too much of an investment, how about PDF? They could load them on thumb drives and sell them to raise funds... Outside of that, who wrote those Commodore booklets? If they're still around maybe they can be contacted and possibly be willing to share? Just a thought.

Via the Complete 2 CD set...then, Love the trio moments here. which segue into horn accompaniments accenting the rhythm. Really, really nice record.

Ha, the balance shifts opposite for me. The nonsense gets too deep to glean the insight!

Yeah, it's a hobby. You should see some of the rods/reels of fishermen I know. Just one will catch a fish of course, but situational analysis and all...
