I think that the delay is not even real. Mosaic may have made an error in showing their hand on future projects so far in advance if people are tired of waiting! They've probably concentrated on other sets, and will soon turn to these. Would make good Xmas presents, maybe that's the plan.

It's definitely not like Million Dollar Legs. It's traditional jazz quintet instrumenation, postMilesbop style.

Hey, I'm the grandson of a banjo player and a fan of the banjo! This is a great record/lp!

I snagged one from Tower. I confess that I've not heard these lps. I've heard later AE lps/cds and haven't been moved to become a fan. Maybe if I start from the beginning. . . If not. . .well. . . I'm sure I can find a home.

Wow! Pretty releases! Two great pianists for this music!

Ray, not really, but try this: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/series.aspx...ob=bf&src=vault You can find them all, and you can open each page up individually and go to iTunes from the page for the title.

"Magic of Juju" is 9.99. "World Galaxy" is 9.99

Okay, "For Losers" is 9.99. "Huntington Ashram Monastery" is 5.99. Go figureth!

Okay, they have been putting them up over the last hour, they all seem to be up now. I haven't yet seen the price for the Shepp, so far I've bought the Sanders and one of the Coltranes, the Sanders was 6.99, the Lord of Lords was 9.99.

I'm away from my collection right now, but I believe that the jewel case version may be from 2004 or 2005. . . I bought a copy a year or so ago and it was newer than 1999, part of the batch of MPS sides reissued like November Girl, More Smiles, Felini. . . Incredibly good sound. I could be wrong. If it is from 1999 there certainly is no reason to spring for the Japanese bucks for sonic reasons, only if you have an object worship fetish for lp facimiles!

Well it's the thirteenth. . . . But still not available.

I've seen footage of him with Teagarden and band. Seemed like "a good egg."

Probably not hard to find the used or new cd either. I think it's longer.

Yes, there are some that are available from Rhapsody and Real Player, and some Real Player only, maybe some Rhapsody only. Realplayer doesn't work for me on my Macs. Rhapsody does, yes. . . . I think they must be aware of the free download thang on iTunes. . . .

I like his stuff with the Basin Street Six. Really nice. Not sure if any of those are on cd. He's featured on one of the "Sound of New Orleans" volumes on Storyville on cd. This one, Volume 6, was on cd, I think it may be out of print currently.

These usually are a few dollar cheaper the first few weeks of release so the Shepp may be about 7 bucks or 8 bucks, with a normal price of 10 bucks. If you don't have a Mac, you'll probably have to download iTunes, and from there you can store it as a download and can burn (I believe, I have a Mac iBook and a MacBook of my wife's now and a shared iMac, not sure how iTunes behaves on a PC) from the download.

And it only took you about three seconds longer than I thought it would!

Dusty Groove has two versions of Midnight Mood available on cd, one in jewel case and one lp facimile, with a ten dollar difference in price between them!

Very cool!

I think it's a shame if that's happening, though I'm really enjoying the RVGs I've got from Blue Note and Concord (and the Impulse remasterings). To each their own I guess!

Many more happy ones Kevin! Take a long lunch. . ..

There is some comfort in that.
