I guess you are just paying for the room space and that the walls, land rent (% thereof) and contribution to maintenance/upkeep plus backhanders etc are all in the $1k per month. Would be cool living there though !

Service charges pretty astronomical for a 1-bedder. Or maybe that is typical of NYC?

Fascinating to compare that prototype run of 'Stolen Moments' on Trane Whistle with the one on Blues & The Abstract Truth.

Sad news - 60s trailblazer on jazz flute, for sure. RIP.

Tony - Welcome to the board, I share your enthusiasm for all things Mosaic. As you mention, the shipping of these sets to the UK isn't the easiest, although I find Mosaic's shipping straight-forward and reliable. Prepare for import tax and the dreaded Royal Mail 'admin' charge on delivery though. For in-print sets, consider ordering from jazzmessengers in Spain. I think their shipping within the EU is free as well (at least whilst we are still a member of that Institution..). The Mulligan Emarcy on vinyl is on my list. I have the Japanese LPs but these were from a digital source I think. I suspect Mosaics mastering on this set will be superior to the Japanese sources. In fact they did such a fantastic job in the Brown/Roach and RRK sets that It should be a no-brainer.

Karin Krog 'Raindrops, Raindrops' (Crippled Dick Hot Wax ) Mulgrew Miller 'The Countdown' (Landmark)

Michael Garrick 'Silhouette' (Gearbox) - recorded by Mr Garrick whilst still a UCL student using personal rig, late 50s, at an old stomping ground, ULU Malet Street. Sleeve notes most interesting. During my time the music rehearsal room was, I think, this one on the 3rd floor. The Garrick bio mentions 2nd floor though.

Hank Mobley 'A Caddy For Daddy' (BN NY USA mono). More from BillF ! Pepper Adams 'Pure Pepper' (Arista Savoy)

Yep - superb all round, arrangements and solos.

Prof Pat Pending Penelope Pitstop Anthill Mob

Buddy Rich Marty Feldman Prof Irwin Corey

'Miles Davis Blows' (Esquire 10"). Another 'good-un' from BillF.

Might be able to make a foray to Poole. Looks good !

Boris Rose presumably?..

Happy Birthday !

Belated Happy Birthday ! The apple pie sounds good.

Yep, I wasn't previously aware of it either - looking at the sleeve something didn't seem quite right until I twigged. Period charm !

'Theolonious (?) Monk' (Swing 10") - Thanks, BillF ! Miles Davis 'Greatest Hits' (UK CBS)

Nipper Fido Spike

Paul Desmond 'From The Hot Afternoon' (Japanese A&M) Gil Evans/Tadd Dameron 'The Arrangers' Touch' (Prestige 2LP)

Nice one - its a good set that I don't crack open anywhere near enough !

Appropriate OBI 'E!' as in 'Eee Bah Gum I never thought they'd get round to reissuing this in my lifetime..'

I'll raise a glass for him !

Good as the Vocalion CD is, the Philips vinyl is even nicer. I'll dig it out. Must get hold of Harry's 'Joy Unlimited' on Ogun. Heard a track or two of that one at the time it came out and never seen it since !
