I was in my late 20's when I bought my first few Mosaics on LP. I'm now in my early 60's and still buying them. Amazing to think it's been almost 35 years.

Maybe they don't want to have anything released that Goodman didn't approve himself? It could also be that they are overestimating their value and ask too much.

Where is the option for 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 & 50-60?

Joe Henderson - Mirror, Mirror (MPS/Folio). This is a really good date. Chick Corea, Ron Carter & Billy Higgins make for a formidable rhythm section.

I just hope you come out with your taste buds intact. I say this not at all because of Paxlovid (I have no idea if it makes this better or worse) but because I work with someone who still suffers from a messed up sense of taste. Certain flavors make him want to vomit. I am so glad that my senses came out OK when I got Covid. My wine cellar would be pretty useless if I couldn't taste any of it.

Thanks for finding that. I clicked the "Notify me" link. I'll see if that works.

"Tastes like nickels"... that's just about what my wife Joanne said. She never complained about the taste of food, just that when we would sit around watching TV, she would have that constant metallic taste.

I can't find that Joe Henderson CD anywhere on the Jazz Messengers site. I'd like to pick that up as I never did find a copy of the original CD back in the day.

It was Jim and you're right - it is really good. Weirdly, it's not listed on discogs but there are copies available on Amazon & ebay. The entire title is "Oh, Gee! LIve in Manchester, 1967"

Miles Davis - In Person, Saturday Night At The Blackhawk, San Francisco, Complete (Volume II) - disc 1.

Who was the idiot that posted the comment underneath?? That is a true WTF if I ever saw one.

"Serious Gold" is only available on LP. The Acrobat CD is called "On A Clear Day". That same band plus Loughty Amao playing conga on one track, can be found on this RCA LP: Ronnie Scott discography: http://henrybebop.co.uk/scott.htm & http://henrybebop.co.uk/scott2.htm

I was told by Michael Cuscuna that he gave Horace Silver the tapes for the live recording he made at Pep's for Blue Note. Horace didn't want it ever released. So if Horace's son finds these tapes, he can release them. This is what I meant by my comment.

My wife started taking Paxlovid when she got Covid last May but she had to stop. She had a constant metallic taste in her mouth and she just couldn't stand it. She stopped taking it after about 2 days. I don't know if it helped her or not.

We liked it a lot. Went through all 10 episodes over the weekend. Bummer that the author, Matthew Quirk, wrote this book as a one-off, so any sequels will not be based on another book with these characters.

I bought a bunch of Steeplechase CDs from Tommy's Jazz a few years ago and I'm still waiting for them to replace a Ronnie Cuber disc that was a CD-R. I've about given up on it, to be honest, but since I did pay for a CD that I never got, I'm still a little upset with them over it.

On the opposite side of this, I always wondered how Harold Mabern could play a single key. His fingers were huge.

I've always thought Renee Rosnes had small hands for a pianist but what she does with them makes me forget pretty quickly.

I think "I'm Not Dead Yet" is a great band name. The opening act could be called "Bring Out Your Dead".

I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I see three "old timers" and a whole lot of "who the hell is that" myself. Even the ones I do know, I wouldn't consider what they play "jazz", nor would I want pay "Newport money" to see/hear them, especially since I'd have to add in lodging these days. But then again, most of the "old timers" are gone, so someone has to fill that slot up on stage. This is the future.

The vocals on "Grits & Gravy", particularly the title track, don't do much for me. The singer(s) are uncredited.

What the hell is this (Prestige – PRCD-24293-2): I've never seen this CD in my life. Is it any good? I see that I can listen/download this on bandcamp. Nice!

I looked at this sale but I'm going to pass. Their fulfillment system sucks and their customer service is even worse. I'm not ordering something to end up waiting 6 months without getting anything and having every E-mail answered by a bot. I've already cancelled two orders there. Not willing to make it three.

Just finished - Barney Wilen - French Ballads (IDA/Elemental Music). Now playing: Barney Wilen - Talisman (IDA).
