OK, I see that now too. It seems some are for sale, but many (most?) are not. So, for example: but: Thanks, rostasi.

Are you already a member?

Can you still buy individual concerts to download to your computer, or have they switched to all-streaming?

I called Mosaic yesterday, and they said my order is ready to ship.

Sad to hear. I'll play his Mosaic box tonight in his honor. RIP.

Very interesting reading. Humanizes everyone involved, including the business people.

That must be what's holding up my order.

Per the Proper Music website: Personnel: Cedar Walton (piano & electric piano), Steve Turre (trombone), Manny Boyd (tenor saxophone), Tony Dumas (bass), Ralph Penland (drums). No recording date listed. See: http://www.propermusic.com/product-details/Cedar-Walton-Charmed-Circle-Live-at-the-Keystone-Korner-245542

It appears that the box set is now sold out. They are offering an "all music edition" box set which will only have the 11 CDs....for the same price as the box set with all the "stuff."

R.I.P. I saw him twice in the '70's... The Eleventh House opened for Captain Beefheart at Town Hall in NYC in 1972 or 1973 (around the time of The Real Great Escape), and when he played SUNY Binghamton around 1975.

BTW, for those interested in the true story of the Mudshark, read: https://www.amazon.com/Stick-Life-Drums-Rock-Roll/dp/1613735529/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1487603437&sr=1-1&keywords=carmen+appice

Clyde Stubblefield, a drummer for James Brown who created one of the most widely sampled drum breaks ever, died Saturday. He was 73. Stubblefield performed on several of Brown's classics in the 1960s and early 70s, including Cold Sweat, Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud, I've Got the Feelin', and the album Sex Machine. But he was best known for a short solo on Brown's 1970 single, Funky Drummer. See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4238324/James-Browns-Funky-Drummer-Clyde-Stubblefield-dies-73.html

I just completed the process and got a confirmation too.

One real problem is they're only making 15,000 of these. That's provoking anxiety and probably much hoarding. But why 15,000 - where did they come up with that number? And why is it hard and fast? They should announce they're upping it to 30,000.

Trying to get through, but boy the site's f-ed up. Looks like they're not currently accepting orders.

Here's a review of the Kremer/Weinberg from WSJ. PM me if you can't open it. It's titled "‘Chamber Symphonies—Piano Quintet’ by Gidon Kremer and Kremerata Baltica Review." https://www.wsj.com/articles/chamber-symphoniespiano-quintet-by-gidon-kremer-and-kremerata-baltica-review-1485194421

For what it's worth, there's a mea culpa of sorts currently on the Mosaic homepage. In a mention of the Resonance release, Cuscuna writes: "The Three Sounds is the one Blue Note act that we always wanted to do a box on, but never did. Our “complete” concept would have pushed the size of a set by just the original trio, with Gene Harris, Andy Simpkins and Bill Dowdy, to more than 10 CDs!!!! Now that their Verve and Mercury/Limelight sessions are under the same ownership, such a set could take on enormous proportions."

Ordered the James P. Johnson and Eddie Condon/Bud Freeman sets.

RIP. Made some very listenable, enjoyable albums in the late '70's.

TMG, have you ever posted one of your great artist overviews about McDuff?

I have the Collectibles 2-fer. It lists Tom McIntosh as arranger on Darbin, Algo, Mallets, Blue Jubilee and Sweet Georgia Brown. No other arrangers are listed, including for the choir date.

Reading your book now. C'mon in...we need some greeeeeeeease!
