Here's another I've never seen before:

Here's one I never saw til yesterday:

Here's one I really like that I bought recently. . . I'm redblooded and like it for obvious reasons. . . and is an excellent album as well!

And the Babs (though I haven't heard this cd version) is a HOOT AND A HOLLER AND A HALF. Nice record to have reissued!

Well, being enamored with bossa nova lately, I did the Barron. Yeah, not much blowing, but sometimes I don't need a lot of solos, especially in bossa nova if the material is interesting, and hearing this musical in this style is interesting. But that's me. The Akiyosha / Kuhn I didn't really expect to like but it's very interesting and I like it a lot. I haven't heard the cd version of the Salvador, but I was pretty unimpressed with an lp version I've heard. . . .

It's amazing music. I am a huge fan of Armstrong, and this is a great set to have. Almost all if not all the music is available elsewhere, but it's a wonderful assembly and a very well produced set. Verve did a great thing by putting out an expanded "Autobiography Sessions" release in the last few years. It includes the little monologue introductions NOT included in the Mosaic set. Still, I like the sound on the Mosaic as well or if not better, and NOT having the introductions is not that big a deal to ME. It may be to others.

The German Ayler cds sound pretty darned good as well. The music is. . . something else!

Good news!

"The Candido is DUDSVILLE. The Bartz, to my tastes is horrible, a disco travesty. " DOESN'T sound like a diss to me! 'Scool. I dig 'em though because I'm liking all kinds of music these days for different reason; certainly not the jazz purist I might have been! (And finding hollow a lot of the stuff I thought was so hip when I may have been a jazz purist!)

These things are a matter of taste I guess. The first time around was better in my opinon; I really enjoyed some of the episodes. This time around. . . tamer, more generic, still some laughs. The intro with it's Reid Miles influenced montage is the only real improvement if that is one. Seems they decided to "dumb it down" which is a shame. More intelligent shows like the earlier version of this and the "It's Like You Know" and the private eye show that Michael Richards had FAIL. Ah, the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Hmmm. . .I like "Music is my Sanctuary" AND "Beautiful." Oh well. I know I'm different!

It's been a LONG time since I heard her work. And I think this cd probably has almost all of it (?) I heard French RCA lps. . . . It was interesting. . . I wasn't THRILLEd but I was a lot less interested in the early years of recorded music in those days. . . .

I used to totally LOVE Weather Report. Saw them about five times, on two coasts. I've rebought this in the new remaster and it sounds great. But. . . I don't really get into WR any longer. "Tale Spinnin'" is the one I like the MOST. . . it's special. Must be the berimbau!

Hmmm. . . I just looked and it says my Dexter box shipped today! Maybe yours did too Ed. . . I'm hopin' . . . I'm hopin'. . . I'm hopin'. . . .

The rest isn't too bad to watch. I noticed the Blue Note imagery homage too, though cover imagery and photography etc. isn't too much of my bag. This was a decent show it's initial run, especially the show with the vet in the cage. . . .

I think these were selected by FRENCH Blue Note because they had not been out on cd before, and because they thought there was a market for them. I doubt that they would have been choices by US Blue Note, but I could be wrong. . . .

Koln, Germany.

Man, that's really nice stuff, I have nearly all of it. As you say Peter, great for the beginners in this hobby; those who are two or three decades into it . . . .

Sometimes I think the first decade was the best! Here's one, Hutcherson's "Total Eclipse"---recorded in Plaza Sound studio, NYC.

No, I'm still congested. No malice meant; just thought you would have all this stuff, and not be interested. The Milton Brown and the Verboten Musik sets look interesting to me. . . have very little of that material. BUT I have so much stuff to listen to that I'm in no hurry right now!

Bada boom! Yeah, I haven't looked at this, but I'm likely to have it all.

What---you mean you don't have all this stuff already?

Has to be the Messenger set. My favorite work of Lee and Wayne.

Almost every Blue Note session from 1939 to 1954!

It's just a coincidence PT. I searched for an image to use for "Jazzbo" and was hoping I would find a nice little image of the old cast iron banjo-playin' figure, but found this instead and kindof felt it was a good one to use for a while. . . .
