The Mosaic web site says my order is still processing.

R.I.P. Hearing "The In Crowd" on WMCA-AM in 1965 or 1966 was one of my first exposures to jazz, an instrumental on AM radio, and an instrumental that was a hit! It still hits a groove that makes me smile.

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered. No worries. A board member pointed me to "Lost And Found: Four Tops "Breaking Through" 1963-1964" on Motown.

I think they're figuring out Marketing 101. Don't promise and, with constant delays, seem incompetent. Instead, assemble it confidentially and then offer immediate gratification. I'm also impressed they got this out in time for the Christmas gift season.

I've always thought that Mingus 5x sounded distorted, as if the recording levels went into the red too often. Were they able to tame that on the recent release?

I see: Dial S For Sonny Sonny's Crib Sonny Clark Trio Cool Struttin' Standards My Conception Leapin' And Lopin' Maybe Serge Chaloff - Blue Serge Without Chaloff, I'd guess the box will be 5 CDs.

Just got an email from Mosaic that my order is being processed!

Look what I found! https://funky16corners.tripod.com/earland_discography.htm Was Dave Schnitter around in 1969? OK, so the bottom line is that these tracks are from two 1969 sessions, produced by Ozzie Cadena, some of which previously appeared on LPs on the Choice label.

I recently bought an LP copy of "Mama Roots" on Muse. It does not list recording dates. In researching (on Wikipedia and elsewhere), I went down a rabbit hole. Turns out some of it was recorded contemporaneously (circa 1977), and some of it came from albums recorded for the Choice record label (not clear if this was Gerry MacDonald's "Choice" label) in 1969, with one track perhaps being recorded in 1966. Except there's an unclear linkage between the Choice tracks and the Mama Roots tracks. This all seems to be the doings of Ozzie Cadena, who's listed as producer on all. So I need some TMG help! And how do you misspell Jimmy on the cover?

TMG: Your links seems to have disappeared. Any chance of reposting them?

Listen to me: Buy a Brother color laser printer. I've owned one for more than 5 years without a day of trouble. The toner it comes with will last you awhile. Toner can be expensive, but you only need to change it every couple of years, and in total it's far cheaper than inkjet ink. Print quality is great. The only place it suffers is printing photos - they'll look "brochure-ish." But if you need to print photos on photo paper, you can send those to Costco. All in all, I've been very happy with mine.

I always liked this:

Ah, I now see. Thanks.

BN? Whozzat?

Here's Lou and "The Beachnuts" doing a cross between The Beach Boys and Dylan:

Done.

I saw Billy up close with Mahavishnu in 1972 and 1973. He may have been the most astonishing drummer I ever saw (or heard). Listen to the live Mahavishnu record "Between Nothingness And Eternity." I was there for one of the concerts that make up that record. It's exactly the way it went down, no overdubs. Perhaps what's most amazing is that he was self-taught. One interesting album that Cobham plays on is Louis Bellson's Matterhorn: Cobham's name appears nowhere on the record, but you'll notice there are two drum sets on the cover (and one of them is Tama, Cobham's preferred company). Apparently, Cobham and Bellson had a relationship that stretched back years, and the Matterhorn Suite was written specifically with Cobham in mind as the second drummer. Contractual reasons were given for why he isn't credited.

There have also been some on Pablo: Frankfurt 1952, Tokyo 1953, Hartford 1953, and Sonny Criss's "Intermission Riff" (L.A., 1951). There was also Carnegie Hall 1949 with Bird, but that was 1949.

OK, thanks.

I wonder whether the JATP box has overlap with this 10-CD set: As for the Sonny Clark, I was surprised that Mosaic hadn't previously released it. Then I realized they had released the Buddy DeFranco with Clark set. I think I have everything that will be in the Clark box, but am curious if they've found more alternates.

More Hawk to search out. Thanks.

Regarding Ron Carter, I can highly recommend this Elektra Musician date from 1982. Art Farmer!

It could also be because they plan to ship really soon. Their website says: This new release will be available to ship September 7th
