It looks like the blue label is RVG: https://www.discogs.com/Miles-Davis-Miles-Davis-And-The-Modern-Jazz-Giants/release/7652609 Not sure about the green label reissue: https://www.discogs.com/Miles-Davis-Miles-Davis-And-The-Modern-Jazz-Giants/release/9140660

If it's got RVG in the deadwax, I've been told that he didn't like that rechanneled stuff so he sometimes ignored that directive.

I had a mail delivery person (also a woman) who refused to leave her truck and when I complained to the postmaster, he said that that is actually allowed by rule (union contract maybe?). He said that technically, they are not required to leave the truck. Most do it as a courtesy... and because they're not an ass.

Although I do get your point, the Bond girls were the perfect fantasy for this 12-15 year old male.

Lawrence Brown's All-Stars with Johnny Hodges - Inspired Abandon (Impulse!). I wonder how Hodges got co-billing when he only plays on two tunes? I don't know if it's my pressing or something else is going on, but the bass sounds different on this. Did Van Gelder switch bass mic'ing techniques by 1965? In general, I don't think he captures larger bands like this as well as he does smaller ones. There's certainly too much reverb. It sounds like the band is playing in an empty dance hall.

Scott Robinson - Multiple Instruments (Multijazz Records). Robinson plays (not all at once) Trumpet, Soprano Sax, Tenor Sax, C-melody Sax, Ophicleide, Normaphon, Double-belled Euphonium, Cornet, Clarinet, Trombone, Tuba, Banjo, Drums, Soprano Recorder, Sopranino Recorder, piccolo, C-soprano Sax, Alto Sax, Baritone Sax, Temple Blocks, Organ Pipes, Bombarde, Solaristic Sound Sculptures (??), Eb Soprano Clarinet, Mellophone, French Horn, Bass Clarinet, Rotary-valve Posthorn, Helicon, Slide Trumpet, Alto Valve Trombone, Highland Bagpipes & Alto Clarinet. This 1984 date also features Niels Lan Doky on piano, Ira Coleman on bass & Klaus Suonsaari on drums... pishah! One instrument each? Those poseurs.

Just finished: Tor Lundvall's "Yule", only recently released on vinyl. I was able to get a copy of the "peppermint" vinyl. Now playing: Stanley Turrentine - That's Where It's At (Blue Note/Tone Poet). I don't know why, but as much of a Turrentine fan as I am, this date never really resonated with me. Maybe it's McCann's piano work?

The Commodore sets only came out on LP in 1989 as well. I always assumed that it was just Mosaic being slow on converting over to CDs.

So Betty Carter suffered from Situs Inversus (flipped major organs)?

So basically reversed chronological order.

Played this today. Great CD.

Several of the latest Mosaic boxes, particularly those from the swing era, have been produced by Scott Wenzel. Michael Cuscuna, now 72, seems to be at least partially retired. He hasn't been as active since Blue Note shifted away from him producing their reissues about 10 years ago.

Mine has 10 tracks.

I wonder why they didn't call it 12 or 13 instead of Triple? Maybe they didn't want to scare people away by pointing out the ABV?

I bought the box from Sonny at one of his last shows in Boston. He signed most of them that were bought that night.

You want to make sure is defaults to stereo sacd and if you don't configure your speakers, you may find the stereo speakers lacking in bass. The L & R speakers can be set to "Small" and the subwoofer can be set to on. which shunts the bass frequencies to a non-existent sub. You also want to make sure someone didn't set the distances weird.

It's weird to see Renee Rosnes written as Irene Rosnes.

Rudy quoting My Cousin Vinny...

According to the liner notes, it is partially about that: "Hancock wrote 'King Cobra' because he was tired of the same chord progressions. "The chord in most jazz tunes flow in a certain way," he explains. "I wanted to expand the flow so that it would go in directions beyond the usual." The harmony builds tension, representing the cobra with its latent striking power. (Cobra is also the type of sports car that Herbie owns).

If that museum could get Herbie Hancock's Cobra, that would be a coup. Herbie's car is much rarer than Ella's Mercedes. Herbie's Cobra is a one of a kind worth an estimated $2 Million.

It's a setting in the menus. I'll look to see if there is a way to do it without hooking up a monitor. You're probably going to want to hook it up to a monitor anyway, as you're going to want to set up your speaker configuration.

When I got the Mosaic box, I had to listen for it specifically as well. It was there, but it did not interfere with my enjoyment of the music.

Yeah, that x 100 into an item that you can get killed with if you ignore some of it's limitations.

I'm 58 and as is obvious, I have lost my love for driving these older cars. I just can't believe that I am alone in this. If you do finally buy that classic car of your dreams, there may come a day when you putter out on a nice summer day and get out in the middle of nowhere and that vintage car breaks down and you think, "Damn... this is deja vu all over again". All of the faults that you forgot about when shopping for this classic piece of nostalgia will come flooding back. No one remembers the shortcomings. Only the good stuff. Ever see one of those old Plymouths with the pushbutton automatic shifter? Cool huh? My grandmother once went to hit D and accidentally hit R. She was in a parking lot on top of a steep hill. She went over the edge but her back tires caught. That classic car "innovation" almost caused me to never be born. FYI - my father restored Indian motorcycles. I still love the look of them. But at the same time, I remember the cookie sheet that he had to put underneath each bike in the garage to catch the oil as it dripped out. I remember having to go pick him when his bike died out on the road (not as often as his Harley buddies). And I remember him flooding the damn thing if he didn't get the choke and (manual) spark advance just right. The suicide foot clutch. The stick shift lever that sometimes got stuck in neutral going from 1st to 2nd. The left handed throttle that my dad always had to convert to the right side. The right hand manual spark advance that he had to swap over as well. They were finicky things. But again, they looked incredible. Would I want to drive one today? Nope.
