Definitely picking this one up! Jazz Detective is dropping several new releases around RSD, including a 3-CD Art Tatum trio set at Chicago's Blue Note in 1953, and a 1972 studio date featuring Chet Baker and Jack Sheldon. Apparently some Sun Ra, Yusef Lateef, and Mal Waldron/Steve Lacy material is imminent as well.

The prelude to A Love Supreme:
…I appreciate this one more and more as time goes on.

erri Lynn Carrington "New Standards, Vol. 1"
Have played selections from that one frequently on my afternoon show!

Listening right now to disc 8, which begins with the January 1945 session with Dizzy. What a godsend this set is, even without the material alluded to above…. I might try to pull as many of those sides as I can from other CD/LP sources that I have and create a supplemental to the Mosaic set.

This recent tribute to pianist Mel Powell, who enjoyed a brilliant jazz career in the 1940s before working primarily in an academic classical realm for the rest of his life, is now up for online listening:
Jazz Mission: Mel Powell in the 1940s
... Powell also made several fine jazz albums for the Vanguard label in the mid-1950s that may be the subject of a future program. The 1940s offered so much musical ground to cover that I decided to stick to that particular decade for this episode.

I listened to the fourth quarter on the radio.
The announcer (Kevin Harland?) was behaving as if the Chiefs were running out of time. Is that correct? Would the game have ended even if the Chiefs were still moving the ball downfield?
I see that now a team starts its drive on the 25 following a touchback. How long ago was that changed?
I saw the third quarter on television. It looked to me that the 49ers' defense was better than the Chiefs' offense. But I guess not!
PS - Kurt Warner on the radio was surprised that the 49ers won the overtime toss and elected to receive. He thought that the smart play would be to get the ball last, so that you knew what you had to do.
The speculative CW seems to be that SF’s defensive unit was gassed by the end of regulation and that they may have wanted to give those guys a breather, instead of them having to come right back out again at the start of OT.

Really a shame that licensing issues have apparently precluded Mosaic’s ever doing a 1940s Mary Lou Williams set:

La Croix limoncello.
wonder if the thread starter, aloc (Jerry, I think his name is or was), is still around? Seemed like a good chap.
Funny, I was just wondering that myself earlier today and checked his profile. He hasn't logged in since 2014.

What time is it?
According to my Blue Note wristwatch, it's been 11:29:15 for about the past 20 years now!

Cab Calloway started his orchestra by taking over the St. Louis band The Missourians who were an outstanding band and made some really good records on their own. I recommend them.
I thought I had those Missourians sides on CD… but apparently not? Has Frog or Jazz Oracle or Retrieval or some such ever tackled that material?

My first Mosaic box set was the initial Monk offering. My first purchases reflected the music that I already knew I liked: Charles Mingus, Cecil Taylor, Herbie Nichols, Don Cherry. In the ensuing decades I found myself buying and appreciating sets that would have surprised my earlier self. I certainly didn't know that there were Stan Kenton or Bobby Hackett or Eddie Condon sets in my future.
Same! So much stuff I’ve gotten into over the years that my younger, snottier self passed over without a thought. (Though like others I was also operating on a pretty lean budget and couldn’t afford to be snapping up every box set or reissue that came out.) That 1995 Andrew Hill Blue Note set has a special place in my heart as my first Mosaic (and one that I *still* listen to every several years), as does the McLean 1964-66, which I got shortly thereafter. I think all that I had by either artist at the time were their early entries in the Connoisseur series (Judgment for Hill and Destination Out for McLean, iirc). I still have the Blue Note wristwatch that you got if you sent in OBIs for 10 of the first 12 Connoisseurs!

The JSPs remastered by Davies are more than good enough for me, and they start with pre-Columbia owned things in 1930.
I have those two JSP boxes as well... this thread may well inspire me to revisit.

Some fine Conte Candoli, among others, to be heard here. A fair amount of Bob Cooper tunes and/or arrangements as well:

An underrated Kerouac, trippy and steeped in his childhood:

Hard pass on a high-priced vinyl-only set. I'd be all in on a legit CD release. Grateful that the new Phil Ranelin set came out on CD--a grand total of $21 at my local record store, including tax. The vinyl version would have run me $125 (and I wouldn't have bought it). It's insane, ridiculous, and a few other adjectives as well.

Disc 7, which is the 1995 Columbia album Makin’ a Move. I’m sure Threadgill-Ellington comparisons are a dime a dozen and beside the point, but if somebody told me to name someone whose artistic/compositional achievements over the past 50 years occupy a realm of significance similar to Ellington’s, Threadgill would come to mind.
