[So, What Are You Listening To NOW?]

Stan Getz-Spring is Here SACD. Getz and band in excellent form and the SACD sound improves on the redbook release.

[Mosaic gets Spotlight on WGBH Boston]

Given its release date, is this set still worth acquiring? Or, how much has been separately released?

[Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?]

Desmond 75 set-disc one. While hardly groundbreaking, the standards are very well played. My wife loved it-big bonus.

[Peter Bernstein]

I have a Bill Heid recording that he's on.

Just got an email for the next GarciaLive release (vol. 18, 11/2/74).  Garcia and Saunders doing Freedom Jazz Dance?!?  I'm intrigued how it sounds.  Paul Humphrey on drums!

It's also interesting that this is just two weeks after GD went on hiatus.

This is the first sb i.e. Betty Board release; only audience recordings available before.  I'm in!

[McCoy Tyner & Freddie Hubbard Quintet: Live at Fabrik Hamburg 1986]

PSM has this for hr download-48/24- for $17.59 on sale. I chose this option.

[Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?]

I contacted Mosaic to buy the Desmond set but it just sold out. Damn!

[Jazz in Denver]

I'll be in Denver for a few days in late April and will have some free nights. Any clubs worth a visit? What's the best online events calendar? Thanks!

What's the story ?!?

Though the original liner notes state that it was recorded at the Club DeLisa in Chicago, it was actually recorded at Capitol's Hollywood studio with an invited audience and an open bar.^[4] The reason for this discrepancy, according to the liner notes in the CD reissue, is that Adderley and the new manager of Club DeLisa (which had been renamed "The Club", after operating for years in Chicago under its old name) were friends, and Adderley offered to give the club a bit of free publicity.

The open bar was a brilliant idea.

 

[Revisiting "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!" (the album)]

Great album and a great story behind the recording.

[Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - First Flight to Tokyo]

If anyone has a pdf of the booklet they could send, it would be greatly appreciated!

That's the version I am looking at.  Anxious to hear your opinion. About $15 w coupon via HDtracks.  What is PSM?

Pro Studio Masters

[Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - First Flight to Tokyo]

dled the 24/192 from PSM just now. Fair price of $13.49 I thought. Will  have a listen soon.

[Jazz Crusaders - do I need any of their *live* albums? — if I’ve got the Mosaic of their studio output.]

The Montreaux show is a fun view with excellent surround mix.

[FS: Lester Young, Pee Wee King *price drops*]

Highly recommend the Mercer set!

[Franco Cerri RIP]

Is there a good cd compilation?

[What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.]

Listened to the new Steve Miller band live release last night from 1977. Good sound for the era with a well chosen setlist. Fans will enjoy this.

[Jazz guitarists--nice guys?]

Larry Coryell always gracious. No extended conversations but he listened to me.

[Lee Morgan - Complete Live at the Lighthouse]

Disc 1 last night. Sounds much better than the 3 cd set from 1996. This band is on fire!
