Whenever Jimmy Heath and McCoy Tyner can afford a big band, there's a groove. Arturo O'Farrell Afro-Cuban BB is also wonderful.

I saw that as well and was trying to work it out but BC a lot closer for moi

I've got tiks for the Gillespie all stars with Cyrus Chestnut on 6/4 and may try to make the Heath Brothers show on the 10th-both at Bohemian Caverns.

First Light on its way! My wife loves this album.

The more I read this thread, the more I think Cowell is an excellent candidate for a Mosaic release. Opinions?

just saw this via Jazz Wax (a blog I've been enjoying a lot lately). Anyone have this yet?

Voyage is at the top of my Getz list-his sound is warm and relaxed, reflective of this happy period in his life.

how's the SQ overall?

I've thought the sound on the Collectables Atlantic stuff has seemed pretty good overall. Collectables came a long way from their early needle-drop beginnings, though they will never be an audiophile label. Of course, with the warehouse fire, there won't be audiophile vintage Atlantic stuff anyways. I didn't think much of Collectables mastering on the Heath Brother's twofer (with SC of course).

Everything ok here but haven't played all discs yet

pm on Shirley Horn and Gerald Wilson

Her's to Life-Shirley Horn is JM at his best, IMO.

whoa! That was a good deal!

Thanks for the 'heads-up'! My order's in. mine as well

the majority of the population 12 and over now has a Facebook account

pm on Papa John DeFrancesco

I really enjoyed his autobiography and recommend it to any jazz lover. One thing about JH, wherever he is in his composition, there is always melody. A good thing, IMO.

my seller wasn't active either but I found the email address in my paypal history and he/she eventually came through so worth a shot.

happened to me with the stereo set but, fortunately, the seller was honest and gave me a full refund and let me keep the set. I bought a legitimate mono set and recommend it highly.

I've got both and enjoy both. I would decide based on if you enjoy big band or small group bop. Dizzy on the way. I have the Proper Herman set which I know is not up to Mosaic standards but will do until I can get the Herman box. As usual, my cc thanks everyone for their enablement.

between the Dizzy and the Herman set.

listening to Swings now. very enjoyable (the mrs concurs) and I just picked up the Proper set on Amazon which collects his early 50s material. Belated thanks for the info.

If you're enjoying that one, then be sure to check out it's sister recording, "Serenity". Both Anniversary and Serenity are great albums! My library, of all places, had these. I love when you can access good music and get some bang for your tax buck I first heard Anniversary from a library copy but quickly purchased it and bought Serenity when it was released. Getz was a jerk (probably due to alcoholism and his bi-polarity issues) but maybe my favorite tenor player.

especially the DVD-A multichannel mix. You are right in the studio

any thoughts on Antonio Brasileiro?
