Another cold, still morning. My wife slept better last night than the night before, it was my turn to lose some sleep due to the dachshund being rather needy. But I am eager to get some listening in. Starting off with Ben Allison, Steve Cardenas, Ted Nash “Tell the Birds I said Hello–the Music of Herbie Nichols” Sonic Camera cd A very nicely recorded series of interpretations of Herbie’s music in a guitar/bass/sax trio of immense talent.

Duke Ellington “Private Collection Vol. 3,” Saja cd

Thanks. It's number 9, a good number.

The RSD seems to have been, from the beginning, LP based, and most of the "same thing post RSD" formats are cd, different--still makes the RSD release "unique" and still gives the mortar stores (the focus of the RSD projects) a special product to sell.

I forgot how good this set is until I pulled it out of the shelves yesterday. Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra “Cuba–the Conversation Continues” Motema Music 2 cd set disc 2 170×148 11 KB

Snow expected all day. . . not the best weather for our ninth anniversary, but we’re going to try to go out to dinner tonight.

Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra “Cuba–the Conversation Continues” Motema Music 2 cd set disc 1 170×148 11 KB I seem to like Cuban music best in big band form. This is very good. My wife (one quarter Cuban–one half Irish, one quarter English) likes this too.

They are generally only available in a particular form on RSD and then if there are remaining copies of that format they may be sold online. In the case of Resonance, Elemental, Real to Reel et al there is often a cd version available for sale everywhere (mortar, online) beginning one week later.

To me that sounds like the organ sound of the 'forties and early 'fifties and how Basie himself generally sounded on the organ. So, of its time, accepted and enjoyed at the time. Jimmy Smith was such a big deal because he changed the sound.

One man's forgettable may be another's pretty pretty cool.

Big Beat, I think the marketing strategy was to offer a few cds to someone who may only pick up one, and also encourage the serious collector to get them all to try to get all the originally released material over the lot of cds. Worked for me. I really did enjoy those cds a lot. Sound was decent for the time period, music great. Didn't need all the sessions to be sequenced complete, did want to have it all. And I do agree about "A Night at Count Basie's." I enjoy it--and the organ is a dated sound, but was the sound for the time period before this one and up to this one, and a very Basie organ sound as well. My favorite Vanguard material I hope appears in the next Mosaic set: the Mel Powell material.
