I think that was originally a 10”.

Obviously symptomatic of a deep ambivalence: resentment towards having to keep them, vs. worry about ramifications of discarding them. This can be treated, however! Just make an appointment.

You a badass! Do you also throw out OBI strips?

Does anyone know why "The Congregation," when originally released, was so short time-wise? It totaled less than 30 minutes, which was unusual for BN. There was plenty of room for "I Remember You," the remaining track from the session that was included in the CD reissue. So why was it left off the LP?

This is another really good one. Although Drummond is the leader, it sounds like a Hank Jones Trio record (also a good thing). I would love to see a Mosaic "The Complete Nilva Sessions" box.

Back in the late '70's - early '80's, it seemed like Ray Drummond was everywhere. I was reminded of this because I recently acquired the Japanese reissue of Ted Curson's "The Trio" (originally released in the USA on Interplay). Curson, Drummond, and Roy Haynes, playing magnificently. I don't know that Drummond's recorded much recently. What are some of your favorites? So I was curious, and looked at Drummond's Wikipedia page. I found this: "He is the elder brother of David Drummond, senior vice president, corporate development and chief legal officer of Google Inc."

4 tracks from Herbie Mann's set are on this: Two tracks from the Jimmy Smith jam session and 4 other tracks are on this:

It arrived today. I like the retro look of the packaging; the fonts used on the back look old-school.

Also, I found that after pulling the LP out of the cover 4 or 5 times, the inner sleeve became a crumpled plastic bag.

Does anyone know what shipping to the US from uDiscover would be for the CD box set?

The paper sleeves actually create dust, as the paper particles flake off.

I use what used to be called rice paper sleeves. I guess they're not rice paper, just a type of plastic with a paper sheet sandwiched in there, but they seem to work well. Mobile Fidelity is the most famous brand, but there are lots of others like it out there.

Thanks. Good to know the session is only 3 tracks - about 9 minutes total music. Now knowing the track names, I found some albums on Amazon that contain them, so if I want them, I know how to get them. This one is the most legit:

Question: In the Producer's Note, it says "There is a session from May 21, 1954 which was originally recorded for Mars but was sold to Columbia (now Sony) and, therefore, is not included in this package." Does anyone know whether that music is available elsewhere?

Mine arrived today.

This got a very positive review in the WSJ. I wasn't aware of the release, which happened in November:

Good news: the publisher of Amadeus says the bug will be fixed in the next Catalina update (10.15.2). Is it possible the scan bug will also be fixed then?

Yeah, thanks for posting. Nice interview.

Nice to be able to be excited about a new Mosaic again!

I also preordered and haven’t yet received a shipping notice. UPDATE: Just called Scott. My copy is shipping today.

Just noticed this on Dusty Groove (https://www.dustygroove.com/item/936090): A real standout in the 70s catalog of reedman Steve Lacy – and that's saying a lot, given that he gave us so many fantastic records in the decade! The album's proof that the Horo Records label had a great knack for capturing key players in some different, but fantastic formations – and here, Lacy is blowing soprano sax alongside ex-MEV members Alvin Curran and Frederic Rzewski – in a unique quality that's very different than many of Lacy's other recordings of the 70s. Curran's got his usual mad edge – and plays synthesizer, percussion, and flugelhorn – while Rzewski contributes some nicely restrained dark lines on acoustic piano. Titles include "Skirts", "Threads", "Rabbit", and "Broils". Could this be a legitimate re-release, and could there be more Horo coming?

Release date February 21:

There was also this one:

Good luck with the gig, Allen.
