Thanks for sharing that link. Man I wish I could hear that Tyrone Washington session! Maybe I should try to become a buddy of Belden's. . . .

That's very true Dan, I learned that on internet jazz communities as well!

From the way that set flew off the Mosaic site into a lot of homes of board members I would say. . . yesssssss. . . an option or two!

Pretty amazing how fast the sets now disappear when the internet jazz community starts calling attention to their status as running low! Dan, I was happy with the Blue Moon reissues as well, but the Mosaics sound better than I imagined they would in comparison!

Buddy Terry is an interesting player; I have a few lps not yet on cd and I enjoy them. . . . Come on, give us some cds OJC!

Many more happy returns. . . on time next time!

's been out on cd from Savoy/Denon:

50. The devil made me do it. 51. IF I keep buying them, they'll finally get around to that Complete Recordings of Una Mae Carlisle set!

47. Bush and Cheney may have completely ruined the American economy and I'm taking no chances these may not be available in 2005!

I got mine preordered from cduniverse for 59 as well, but now I wish I'd gotten it from the jerrygarciastore.com for 65 with the SEVENTH disc they are offering there!

I figured it was Al and I think Chick would have fit in there well, and Cuber too, eh. . . . Wild fusion blend from the sixties! A find.

Wow looks weird. I don't have an opinion because I've never heard this one. Corea of this vintage would add value to the session though; the man was really playing then!

So far NONE! Again, a minor miracle! (Though I did try. . . but I discovered that I can't buy the SEVENTH disc to the Jerry Garcia studio recordings box set that www.jerrygarcia.com is only offering with the box sets bought through them!)

That Swing not Swing is a pretty cool collection.

Donna Jean has her moments both ways if you ask me. Yes, Greyfolded, really an amazing collage!

She DOES look pretty fabulous!

Man, I just went to jerrygarcia.com and saw that! ARGH! I DO hate that when they do that!

Fantastic news! By the way, ARE you enjoying the rest of the set?

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU.

I don't know Jim, there may be an essay online somewhere, but I'm not at all sure it would better describe the music than your post did! You've led me to a lot of these recordings, and they're wonderful: there's just something about this music that has that exuberant drive that much of my favorite American jazz does, and that lifts your spirits and sustains your positive moods. I really like the Sambalanca Trio, the Tamba Trio, the Zimbo Trio. . . well there are many great groups to savor. I love the piano trios, and I also really like the larger ensembles athat are arranged by Deodato et al. Dusty Groove is THE place! Lots of my dollars go to that place. . . .

It's a combo of two nice trio records, "Shirely's Sounds" and "Great Scott!" "

Johnny Smith, Disc 3

I agree with Ed entirely. If for some reason you can't get satisfaction from Mosaic, send me a PM, I'll be able to help.

When a fine rump is pushing on the accordian, you're supposed to be pushing down on the keys Dave!

Okay, it is rather fatalistic of me I suppose. I've seen it happen often enough that I don't believe it can be spelled out implicitly and succede. (And I'm an anarchist at heart, a people loving anarchist). I agree that there are implied standards that work alright as long as a spotlight is not shined near them. As for what's interesting, that's anyone's call. I find lots of Jim's very interesting, and a lot I scratch my head, and many I've seen others say the same thing in about twenty times less words and go by unnoticed. Jim is a friend, I love the guy, but there are many types of interesting posts in this place from many posters, I guess the variety of responses from a variety of viewpoints is what I find most interesting about this place. And as for obsessions. . . I'll free myself from mine when you free yourself from yours!
