He-he! Well, it's not like you were gonna sell the thing, right? Well not until I have listened to it at least once anyway, but there's just sooooooooo many discs, it's just sooooooooo intimidating. Did you ever crack this one open? I'm interested to know what you think. It is intimidating...like it should be kept in a safe... Not yet, no. :blush: But every time I go through the booklet and see the photo of Nappy Lamare, hell even when I see the name Nappy Lamare, I really want to go get stuck into it, but something smaller always seems to get my attention first. :rolleyes: Nappy Lamare, Nappy Lamare, Nappy Lamare, Nappy Lamare, Nappy Lamare.......

upon a very quick glance on the mingus jazzdisco discography there shouldn't be any... there is some laporta in the small debut records story box... the stuff under his own name is now out in spain... there is one track from the alonzo levister debut album which sound pretty good, but the rest is not on cd, plus there are two or so tracks from vocalist ada moore's album on there which heavily feature laporta iirc (!) but these shouldn't be in the big box since mingus is not on them...(?) http://cgi.ebay.de/With-Tal-Farlow-Laporta...tem370160341731 wish i had the big box, but i did get some of the contained music on single cds lately, the john dennis album is great (are the solo tracks included?), as is the knepper/maini album... Thanks for that, I didn't know about the Ada Moore, it sounds interesting more than essential. I don't know why I have such a Mingus/LaPorta curiosity, and I don't know why I thought they did more together than this.

Is the Farlow the first of these joint Mosaic/Universal sets to go OOP, or at least on the verge of going OOP?

3) Jackie McLean - One Step Beyond - mini lp RVG TOCJ-9231 (no obi) The condition of each cd and cover/liner notes is near mint All for sale at $15.00 US per disc delivered to a US address. PM on the way for this one.

First time listening to your show, listening right now in fact, great stuff.

They have yet to update their website though, at least as of now.

Is there a track listing of this set anywhere?, I would be curious to see how many sessions with John LaPorta are on there or are there even any?

I second that part of the emotion ... $25 - $30 per "high quality" LP seems to be normal these days... Mosaic's pricing is not unique. I agree, I didn't mean to imply that they were over-charging, just that in these harsh times is there really a demand for this kind of item at this kind of price??? I know the "It Club" double cd set might be slightly difficult to find in certin countries but it's available online for around a fifth of the price, you would have to really love this set and be a vinyl nut to spring for this bad boy.

That was pretty wild, cheers, but at around the 6 or 7 minute mark it's just a bit, well, repetitive. Thanks though.

I don't listen to vinyl myself anymore but the Monk release sounds like a good thing, but $100???

O.K. not to hijack the thread or anything but I went looking for this release on amazon.co.uk and had a quick browse at their other recent Evans releases and found this, from the "JazzLips" label, perhaps a first, a double rip off!!!, the music from this, plus a few more songs from somewhere else; with the cover/art work from this; :rolleyes: Now back to "Turn Out the Stars", would it turn someone who is indifferent to the Evans Trios into a believer???

But Doctor, why do I have high blood pressure and a mild heart condition??? BTW, this is a joke, I don't have high blood pressure or a mild heart condition. :D

Same here, I bought it when I was going through a "Pepper Completist" phase, thinking I'll like it but not love it, but it really is excellent. I really enjoy the photo's in the booklet too, they're all wearing really nice "threads". :cool:

Ah there was a time when I really enjoyed a full Irish, but now, it's just too salty and and as much as I used to love black and white pudding and soda bread, now it's just heart-burn city. Oh, soda bread with a fry-up! That's one of the joys of being in Ireland! Not so keen on the white pudding. It's quite hard to get white soda bread in England - they do the brown stuff in Sainsbury's but I like the white better. Well with the brown, depending on how much of it I eat and what I eat with it, I sometimes end up spending the day making sounds of discomfort similar to the ones Homer made when he ate the Guatamalan insaity peppers at the chilli cook off. :D Heart Burn City.

The set that started this thread!!!, a really nice collection that I should listen to more often... starting tonight. :party:

Thanks for the review, I reckon I'll sample this one before purchasing it then.

Good grief. What an album cover, what year is it from?

I had a look through the booklet for the RVG of "One Step Beyond", are they skimping on the photo's for these now? There used to be pics that were the size of the page but now there is just a small cropped one within the text of the notes, or is this just on the Euro versions??? Another cost cutting measure???

I was wondering where Lonehill got all the LaPorta material, I had presumed it had been re-issued on that "Debut Story" box, but obviously not. Was it issued in Japan or did they actually get the masters???

I saw this one in Tower the other day; Amazon Link. Blurb; Product Description 2009 reissue of this seriously collectable '70s Jazz release from saxophonist Nathan Davis. The album was originally released on Nathan Davis's tiny bespoke Tomorrow International record label in 1976 and only 1000 copies were ever pressed. Davis leads his super-funky group along the narrow path between Jazz and Funk that so many failed to navigate successfully in the second-half of the '70s. It's an album by an artist who is a musician's musician. More importantly - it's a killer! Eight tracks. Soul/Jazz. The Label that's re-releasing it, Soul Jazz, tend to cover "funky" type of stuff, is it worth checking out???

I really wanted T-Bone's The Complete Capitol / Black & White Recordings but couldn't afford the price tag attached for an OOP 3-CD set. I ended up having to get the 4-CD Quadromania set which appears to contain the whole of the Capitol / B&W set without the alternate takes. I'd agree that it's some excellent stuff and I like it enough to want to add the Imperial 2-CD set to the collection as well. T-Bone Walker pretty much "invented" "perfected" "defined", for a lack of better words, the whole R&B/jump blues/soul vein you speak of. He is a giant IMHO, and doesn't really get his due, probably because he was fairly popular at one time. T-Bone is GOD, and here is GOD with the JATP...

It didn't stop there either...

Please tell me that the last part of that sentence is a typo, please...

So, Organissimo were the guys with the skull masks and no bass player right? Am I right ?
