John Coltrane 'Impressions' (Impulse red/black stereo)

Whenever I see a radiator I think of 'Eraserhead'..

'The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays The Music of Jimi Hendrix' (UK RCA). Bought by me when it came out and still mint. Great to hear it again !

also from Bill - Don Cherry 'Complete Communion' (BN NY USA, stereo)

Horace Silver 'Silver's Blue' (Epic yellow label mono, reissue sleeve)

I need to dig both of those out and give them a spin ! One more from BillF - Blakey 'A Night at Birdland Vol 2' (Lexington/47W63rd DG mono) Once again, very good sonics.

That looks like Rita Tushingham's face on the cover of 'A Taste...'

BBC Radio 4 broadcast this programme about Miles' 1980s foray into visual art today. Worth catching.. Blue Canvas

Damn...

Tony - Let us know what you think of this one after you have given it a spin. Its on my list along with the Beehive set.

JohnS mentioned that he was there on the night !

More from BillF.. 'Coltrane' (Impulse orange/black mono). Lovely - absolutely trounces my UK 70s reissue.

I've still got, like, 300 of those..

Amazing man, amazing music. Happy Birthday !

I spun a few recently and they sounded fine ! Back in the day they were like 'mana from heaven'.

Sounds like you had a fun ferret around there Clifford - I don't know any of those but an interesting list, for sure..

I think it was 1979 or 80 I saw them at a London gig. Menza and Shew were still in the lineup. Arnie Lawrence added on saxes. Blue Mitchell had passed not too long before and they did a tribute number to him (I have the feeling it was called 'Blue' - featuring Bobby Shew).

April 2017 seems like an eternity away..

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.

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.
