These are fairly early in the New Testament Band history, and I like them, though there is less powerful soloing and more emphasis on swinging and section work (or so it appears to me). And this is sort of like dancing material; my inlaws would dance al whole evening to this stuff no problem! So. . . not the best material in this Mosaic in my estimation, but nice stuff to hear.

Well at least you got one good one. . .

Should you do a search you'll find quite a bit of discussion of these artists and this label. I have nearly every "jazz" release and really enjoy a lot of them. The Aylers, the Boykins, the Ras, the Marion Browns, the Sanders and the Simmons and the Waters. . . I actually play these fairly often.

Try typing in "Jazz Crusaders" in www.amazon.com "Popular Music." You'll get some Pacific Jazz cds with brief clips to listen to. . . .

I think the noninclusion was just a size matter. Keeping the set at a manageable, possibly affordable, size. This material is going to be really fun jazz. Soulful and solid. I'll look for some sites with clips though I'm not thinking of any off the top of my head. I have nearly all this stuff and it's good time good feeling music !

Actually I would personally, even as a lad, chosen a more petite model. . . but there wasn't a . . . decent . . . photo of one!

Well, at least it was an honest answer.

I think you're probably right. Could I spend about three months in the vaults though to verify?

Moi aussi.

Well, I think they're walking the line. They offer the music and an undersized cover . . . They figure if you don't like that you'll track down an import or OOP cd. . .

I'm so glad it made it there safely!

Whew it's a relief that there's nothing wrong with that. . . I want to hear it too!

Actually seems to me that Verve is utilizing also items recently remastered and released in Japan (the Basies and a few others). . . . Interesting! Waste not want not!

Pretty sure it is mp3. I have burned one item from iTunes, "Phenix" by Cannonball, and it sounds very good.

Point well taken!

Thanks for the headsup, some nice additions. I could spend a hundred bucks easy! (I can't but I could!)

A bit of this material came out on cd in Japan last year. Some of us got these and now are facing the prospect of getting a Mosaic! Haven't they heard the song "Don't be cruel to a heart that's true?"

Me too. Not even Japan has been doing much with Savoy stuff of late that I know of. DANG!

I guess I could have more clearly said "Still to come" as I know of no plans to release more of the material, but really want more of the Savoy out on cd. In time, I hope. I have lps . . . some a little worn.

Yesterday, cduniverse shipped me these four for #13.29 each. Tes Estat by Shorter, Alan Uhuru Na Umoja by Wright, Fran Roswell Rudd by Rudd, Roswell Black Gipsy by Shepp, Archie I'm set for a while!

From Impulse there is at the least: A Flat, G Flat and C Jazz From Around the World There are several Savoy titles to come out as well (I'm actually more looking for these on cd, I like the Savoys a hair better).

Hope all is well, Mr. C! Thanks for being back even if just for a mo'!

I did indeed order a dvd of 2046, a two dvd edition.

Only better!
