Welcome !

Hadn't noticed he was sir-ed, too ... guess they're running out of classical conductors Or bankers..

I have to say, I found 'The Real Thing' a bit underwhelming, compared to Shaw's Muse issues of around the same period. Will give it another listen.

Never even realised they did some of those KPM LPs !

Or Sir Bradley..

Unbelievable is the word. I got many of the Prestige boxes via that route - and some incredibly cheap Euro-Mosaics too. Never to be repeated ! The £ was worth something back then too.

How about throwing in some of those Xanadus into the mix? The Sams (Most and Noto), 'Xanadu at Montreux Vols 1 to 4' etc The latter would have made a nice Select.. An Eris Kloss/Pat Martino box would be nice too.

A Kenny Barron Muse set might be quite nice. A Cedar Walton set would be really great though ! If there's anyone who deserves the Mosaic treatment it's Cedar.

£16.99 at sainsbury.com is indeed "very reasonable" and very tempting indeed Looks like it's a Woody Shaw blow-out coming up over the next few weeks. Thanks for that ! I'll order one with the bread and milk.. Nectar points too (32)

I know what you mean but - don't knock it. he put out some good stuff which otherwise wouldn't have seen the light of day I suspect.

Great news - well done.

and I'd buy it just to have another booklet full of Woody Shaw bio, stories and photos too ! But there again, he is one of my favourite artists..

Plus that all that damn house buying rubbish, escape to whatever country, cameras next to police raiding chav estates/stopping speeders, Miss Marple/Poirot shows, Countdown/variants thereof and sex infection clinic documentaries.

Those can sound suprisingly good !

What a nice suprise to start the day with ! This one will go to the top of my Mosaic list, even though I've got most of the Muse material on CD or LP (much of it on those 33 Jazz reissues). IMO the Muse material by Woody is really strong - especially the material around 74-77. Like all of the best Mosaics, this box will have a major story to tell..

Was watching that old Ronnie Scott programme that BBC did years back yesterday - the one introduced by John Fordham. Great programme, good interviews and some short musical gems. And a few intriguing snipits on there that they must have more of on file - Dizzy Gillespie Big Band from 1975? Ella with Joe Pass from sometime in the 1970s? Ronnie's Quintet with Dick Pearce at the Club sometime in the late 80s? And how about digging out some of those 80s Bath festival things? (Lester Bowie, Loose Tubes et al). Wish they would find some more Jazz 625/Jazz Goes To College/Late Night Lineups etc. A few more like the Rollins/Ronnies' 'Discovery 1974' from last year would not go amis. The one that they can ditch though is that awful 'Jazz Ship' from either 1975 or 76. Biggest anti-climax of all time, that one.

Didn't Proper also do a 4CD Wardell set?

Jordan and Peter Andre will most likely be on a stamp or £5 note before Tubbs. What a ***** place..
