I'd forgotten about that Mae West track--I have it on the Classics disc. Glad this project is going for those who do not have this material prior.

Art Pepper “The Complete Maiden Voyage Recordings” Omnivore Records, disc 2 of 7

Carmen Lundy “Jazz and the New Songbook–Live at the Madrid” disc 2

Re: Paul Chambers, some imagination is needed and one would have to imagine a Chambers with lessened "habit" going forward past the 'Sixties. I can imagine some great music as he was among the very best.

1m “Wild Bill Davison’s Lady of the Evening” Jazzology cd NICE! Mrs. Anne Davison pictured with Bill

“Rique Pantoja & Chet Baker” WEA Latina cd Bass – Sizão Machado Drums – Bob Wyatt Piano, Synthesizer – Rique Pantoja Trumpet, Vocals – Chet Baker Recorded in Rome in 1984, Rio in 1985 and São Paulo in 1987. An early cd that I haven’t played in a long time. Sounds nice for this rainy chill morning.

One of my all time favorites, a desert island disc. . . the one the only Betty Carter in her final masterpiece. Betty Carter “I’m Yours, You’re Mine” Verve cd

Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges “Side by Side” Verve digipak cd

Yes, Ware. . . and Albert Stinson are two bassists I wish had recorded more and into the decades.

Jason Palmer “The Concert: Twelve Musings for Isabella” disc 2 I can’t stop playing this one. What a band!

I won't quite say that but I would say post-1970 Carter is more boring than pre-1970 Carter to me. A wonderful player, but more exciting in the 'sixties for me. One great tragedy of jazz is that Paul Chambers died in 1969. He is the epitome of a jazz bassist for me, and I would love to know the work he would have done beyond 1969 if he could have made it into the next decades.

Hubert Laws “The San Francisco Concert” CTI/Columbia expanded cd

As far as Orwell goes it isn't just "imagination" that led to the vision of state that is presented in 1984 but imagination based on extrapolation of experience. Orwell was an international reporter, combatant and traveler that saw and chronicled and even battled fascism in Spain, Germany, Italy and Russia among other nations and understood the inner workings of these repressive states. He was able to write about them with real strength in 1984 and other works. I have read nearly all of Orwell over the years and a few biographies. Fascinating thinker and writer.

It's a totally different type of recording than the Mosaic, it's really hard to compare them. I'll say that a bit of hiss does not bother me, and I have no real complaints about the sound of these two volumes. I myself ordered Vol. 3 from amazon.com

Lovely lady.

In my opinion the music is significantly different than the Mosaic set. . . but equally interesting. Sound is decent. I have both the previous two, and am looking forward to this one.

Hasaan Ibn Ali “Reaching for the Stars: Trios/Duo/Solos” Pretty amazing how this obscure pianist’s catalog has grown from 1 lp to 4 releases in the last few years. This one has “okay” sound and very interesting performances.

Took ten seconds to find this on the internet. I saw this band in Austin years ago, a highlight of my limited concert going: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingus_Big_Band
