Ah. Apparently that has NOT happened!

My immediate thought was "did he send the wrong MP3?"

I agree Michel. There are some very homey photos of the Hackensack home in the Herbie Nichols box set (Blue Note).

Great stuff. This material was out on cd in Japan, and in fact one of the lps sounds much better in the Japanese cd version than on the Mosaic.

Yes, by OJC and then I believe JVC for XRCD and other Japanese releases. Probably now out of print, doesn't show up on the Concord site.

It IS depressing to be looking forward to MP3s. Blue Note/EMI has been offering some releases on iTunes fro some time.

PM answered Pete. Thanks.

Bump just in case anyone is interested

I happen to think "Purple Rain" is a fantastic soundtrack. . . .

And Blue Note can't provide? What a whack business relationship.

Many happy happy returns!

Many many more happy returns!

The Landscapes that I have (Charles Mingus European concerts, don't tell Sue) are definitely boots.

My favorite. With cream.

We have a winner!

Just my opinion, but this set bored me, so if you already have a "fair bit of it," that's probably all you need. Well, let me just say that this set is one of my favorite Selects. It grew on me, and I now consider it a great body of work. There is much here that doesn't come out and slap you in the face, but woos you over time. Very interesting new takes on older material, very mellow and swinging playing.

Amazingly good news Bruce! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Chuck.

I think those three numbers are also on the OJC cds. Nothing on the Fresh Sound hasn't been on the OJC, right?

It's much less riveting and focused than "Montreux." It's more ruminative, rubato. . . I like it but I like this sort of thing. There was a time when sitting in a darkened room with a piano was the highlight of my week, odd as that is as I'm not really a pianist. I'm a fan of solo piano. But this set is different than "Montreux" or "Hommages". . . as Hot Ptah and J. A. W. point out.

Many many more happy returns!

I know but. . . as long as Michael is in command of the catalog, we're not going to see that material. He views himself as the representative of Alfred Lion . . . he wants to maintain the same standards of quality that Lion did. . .I can see both sides of the issue. The next producer at the helm is likely to feel differently. But that next producer is not on the horizon or in the air. And I'm not sure I would want anyone else in charge.
