Johnny Griffin for the wake-up win. Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk, Rhino 2 cd set, disc 2

As far as I have been able to determine No. You could inquire with Mosaic yourself; so far no one has supplied any of that information.

Tamba 4 “We and the Sea” A&M Universal Japan SHM-CD

The stereo versions of "Mood Indigo" and "Willow Weep for Me" are different from their mono counterparts. "The Sky Fell Down" was originally only on the mono, not the stereo, LP.

We don't yet have solid information about the scope of these sets. I would assume they would center on more mainstream jazz and swing artists in the "Jazz Showcase" series. . . but Vanguard recorded into the 'eighties and beyond including groups from 'sixties and 'seventies such as the Dave Burns, the Armstrong releases and the Coryell groups and into the 'eighties with Oregon, etc. Anyway a look at the label's output via discogs.com for example will show possible material. Most likely it will only be selections from the Jazz Showcase series. Here is the discogs listing of "Jazz Showcase" releases: https://www.discogs.com/label/191588-Vanguard-Jazz-Showcase?page=1

TM: a site that has a lot of info about V-Disks. https://www.savethevinyl.org/v-disc-the-story-of-the-american-military-record-label-during-wwii.html#:~:text=V-Disc ("V" for Victory) was a morale-boosting initiative,the use of United States military personnel overseas. The Vanguard Records material would be 'fifties and possibly 'sixties material. Vanguard Records was started in 1950 and began its jazz recording in 1953.

Seriously sad to hear. She was a marvel.

I'd estimate about 30 percent from my browsing over the years. I really like the piano stuff, and the small group swing.

Thanks David. That's four sets to look forward to!
