I only have one of their releases (a Cassandra Wilson) and must say I am a fan of their remastering!

Yup. I can't count. I used to have two cdrs of this from the lp set, so I get confused that way easily. ONE more reason to get it.

You know I never even had a blonde girlfriend, and I'm a huge fan of brunettes, but I had a crush on Clea ever since she saved Dr. Strange's butt from Dormamu. . . .

Hmmmm. . . you definitely HAVE TO GET the "Autobiography" sessions two cd set on Verve. This will take care of about half the Mosaic, and have a few extra bits as well I think. And get the two digipak Deccas that are out, "I Love Jazz" and "Satchmo Serenades." Contain stuff on the Mosaic, and stuff not on the Mosaic, but good to have, and both are nice reissues in great sound.

Like a catepillar he became a butterfly, and flits about occasionally landing on a thread-flower, though not much of late.

Yes, I think Cadence is the only US distributor, and a quick comparison made it the cheapest route I saw. . . This is one fine release! Don, thanks for the title. . . it sounded familiar and I have it in my stacks; haven't listened to it in a while! I have "A Flower is a Lovesome Thing" as well, though when I listen to it I get fatigue. . . maybe it's just me and my system but the sound is really edgy and brittle. . . . Great music though. In my dreamworld this stuff has as much unissued extra stuff in the can and becomes a Mosaic Select!

Many many more happy ones!

What's the title of that one Don? Also: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=20786

They sound that way on all the versions I've heard. . . I'd say yes, I think it is related to trying to capture the overall dynamics of the music without distortion.

Amen Don! Yeah, I like Davies' playing as well on other things I've heard. Thanks for weighing in about this latest disc. I think that Jazz Oracle is among the best labels. I really like the Purvis and Pollacks mentioined above, and the Louisian Rhtyhm Kings, the two Sam Mannings, the Arkansas Shout, Dallas Rhythm, the Cliff Jackson, the Fess Williams, the Dorsey Bros. . . . If you have an interest in early jazz and hot dance, these are great releases. Liner notes like nobody else!

Graham Collier. . . maybe "Songs for my Father" . . . .

The Al Hibler stuff on this was new to me, and great stuff!

He really is a good painter. Every time I'm in DC I go to the Smithsonian and admire his Ella painting.

It never ends!

Well, write them and find out. . . They did do the All Stars box, a favorite of mine!

Cool Edward! They are nice folks there . . . . Yeah, and that Cliff Jackson is one awesome cd!

Or to hear him doing it ALL there's always the Keith Jarrett Trio version of "God Bless the Child." It's like a little microcosm of his drumming style all in one track. . . I never tire of it.

I got your back! Jack can do anything. Sometimes he may seem to be filling up space madly. . . well I'm sure he has a reason. He can be very subtle, he can groove HARD, he can be atmospheric, he can play a mean piano, he can . . . well what can't he do well?

Must resist. . . Must. . . Resist. . . . Hey, I did resist!

Yes, great notes on this set. Great music. Great sound. Does that make this triply great?

Wow Jim, hadn't noticed, just lost rack after post 10,000 a month or so back. . . .

So true, so true.

If there's a male version, does HE also have a "mute" button?? Just because we women are nodding and smiling and not changing the subject doesn't mean we're listening. We just have mastered the art of ignoring, without making it obvious so that you will cry and run out of the room. ← Wow, does anyone offer classes on the art of ignoring? My wife doesn't even do the nodding and smiling . . . !

Just fine! Just having some fun! I don't think as highly of "The Latin Bit" as Jim does, but I was only jesting to say that he's "crazy, crazy, crazy!"
