Listening to the very first UHQCD I've purchased, John Coltrane's "Ballads." I must confess it sounds wonderful.

I have two incomplete versions of that tune and the rest of the broadcast on this (hard to find) disc: https://www.discogs.com/Lester-Young-Volume-6-1944-The-Complementary-Works/release/8861281 Another broadcast version appears on Volume 2 of the same series; https://www.murfie.com/albums/lester-young-masters-of-jazz-lester-young-volume-2-1939-1942

KD and JP Kenny Dorham and Jackie Paris

No, it's a photo of me taken yesterday. Nothing essential.

Yes, King Jazz rules.

Yes, the whole band delivers on this one.

Five Guys dogs are quite good if overpriced.

I'm not a friend either, least not yet. If you look at the left of his page, the first entry under "Intro" says "Former President of Mosaic Records."

I notice today that Michael Cuscuna's Facebook page says he is the Former President of Mosaic Records. . . .

Good headphone listening. First I've heard Ms Ahmed and I'm impressed.

Okay.

Semper, Did you approach Resonance Records? I am pretty certain they would be interested. If need help you can PM me or email me at lonjazz@yahoo.com and I'll try to get you in contact with the producer Zev Feldman that seems to be spear-heading the Resonance releases. . . .

I'm not disputing you Hans or trying to argue with you. I had read elsewhere Handmade was gone. When I did a web search old links to Rhino for "Handmade" came back "this page is no longer active." Following the link you provided it looks as if Handmade is back in a very different form.

It does not seem to have the same mission or output of the original Handmade.

I think the Captain was referring to the fact that their "Handmade" series of archival releases is no longer.

I'm listening to Elvin myself as sideman on this excellent Joe Henderson date:

I have been buying all the Basie and Joe Williams and Teagarden and Glenn and a few other discs in the new Warner series and rely like the mastering. Very clear and "quick" sounding. Nice frequency balance. I hope they continue with the Roulette and Roost and Jubilee catalogs!

The new SHM-CD from Warner Japan. Man these Warner Japan SHM-CDs sound great.

I hear you. . . but that universe doesn't exist. In the first bloom of my manic collecting in the 'eighties I might have thought so as the compact disc ramp up included the reissue of so many titles. . . but this century jazz returns to unpopularity it seems, and even less so for me when I have moved from Austin to rural North East Ohio. In my day to day life I don't encounter anyone in person who has a passion for any of the music I have a passion for. It's hard to even imagine a universe where Mosaic profited and prospered.
