ghost of miles

Me too, outside of the crazy jagged-geometrical layout for the booklet notes--a style that iirc was in vogue for a number of box set releases in the mid-1990s.

I didn't realize Light in the Attic was doing a CD version of this set as well. On the fence about upgrading from the 1995 box--in the meantime this thread has inspired me to start revisiting it. Oh hey look, it's lunch time! 😉

Co-sign. I have a brother and a friend who are Milwaukee fans, so I’m pulling for them to ultimately win it all, but I’d be happy to see Seattle come out on top as well. Anybody but the Dodgers.

Through the first two discs of this beautifully-curated collection. Not very familiar with post-1980 Joni and am enjoying the sides included herein:

I'm in for all of them except the Tolliver, which iirc was included as part of Mosaic's Tolliver Select set.

Hallelujah! It's a start, anyway... MLB approves robo-ump challenge for balls and strikes beginning in 2026 … good timing for this announcement, coming on the heels of an ump blowing 25 pitch calls in a single game.

We re-aired Jazz From Monterey 1963: Dizzy For President! this past week, and it remains archived for online listening.

The latest entry in this outstanding series:

Yep, this one’s been in the works for quite awhile.

I thought Jason had tendered his resignation on June 19 (appropriately enough). The Kennedy Center has become an absolute joke. Likely no NEA Jazz Masters this year either. EDIT: Close enough re the date of Moran's departure--June 19 was apparently his last performance before stepping down. Jason Moran leaves Kennedy Center

I remember that Ken Dryden and am glad the obit’s not for ours.

I walked by this park on my way to the Oasis concert a week and a half ago. Seeing and learning of its existence was an unexpected delight.

Jomboy: Did Framber Valdez intentionally cross up his catcher?

"NOW I said it!!" 😆 AL East race set to sizzle over the next four weeks!

Came here to say exactly this after receiving the set yesterday, listening to disc 1 and reading your superlative notes. This set pulls together a lot of previously hard-to-find or unavailable music, presents it in beautiful sound and with words that capture and elaborate on its creative vitality, and broadens the perceived spectrum of Sanders’ legacy as a jazz artist. Grateful that David Weiss and John Koenig shepherded this Cuscuna project to completion and that you signed on to do the essay and session liners. When it comes to Mosaic booklets I’m a consummate Loren Schoenberg fan, but there’s a new horn in town, kids… somebody go wake up Mary Lou Williams!

Listening to this beauty for the first time in a few years, and for the first time ever on vinyl:

Yep, I've heard this! Part of the Tiberi holdings, I'd imagine? Release the tapes!!!
