Continuing with my Mobley romp...

Yes, that's one I wanted to recommend too, but it's been mentioned before. But the Pacific Jazz version, issued by Capitol I think.

Those were the times...

And not specifically country oriented too. I find the shipping rates have generally gotten very high. And then on top of that there are sometimes customs duties additionally. I think from the moment the big online retailers felt they had the market in their hands (and this has even been pushed further by the pandemic) they decided to go up.

Me too. I am right now studying Four on Six from The Incredible Jazz Guitar ...

A very great record of the Chico Hamilton Trio. With George Duvivier and Howard Roberts (mostly) or Jim Hall (at just a couple of tracks). But this is great trio material. Guitar trio, not piano trio.

Revisiting this old classic. I'm mightily enjoying McCoy Tyner here.

Are these the famous no wave Swans? I saw them once in the 80s in a very, very small club out of town. This box is great. I have it too and have already talked about it here. It won a French reissue prize. And about that Cohn-Zims album, I saw it was no Flora cover: it's signed by one Collin or Collins. I only wanted to point out the similarity.

I'm discovering this. It is magnificent, very wide and with a good booklet. I've had it for a while but only now had a chance to listen to it.

Looks like one of those Jim Flora covers. I like Sonic Boom a lot and consider it one of the stronger Lee Morgan releases. Indeed not a bad place at all.

I really love that cover. And the music inside. I even considered framing it and hanging it up. Because of what it means for me and because of the graphics.

Anybody hear from King Ubu? I haven't seen him post in a while.

One of my dearest treasures among the Miles ouevre. It's so noir. Just like the movie. In that sense he made a great work of turning those images or moods into jazz.

Same here. So, really? I just saw a quote from him on TV an hour ago or so. But it must have been because of this. The quote said "I defend small languages and their great cultures." I didn't know.

Very good picture. But I'm now with this: I stumbled about a thread about this box from 2017 or 18 (when it was about to come out) and picked it up. And I'm enjoying it immensely. What I like most are his solos, but his orchestra is also great, with at times Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster and Cozy Cole, or Goodman, Lionel Hampton and Gene Krupa, or his interventions with singers, such as Ella Fitzgerald.

That sounds too familiar. There are many things I couldn't locate right now.

Ah, then I will get it. I have a boxset of Hipp called Hipp is Cool.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that one. At Ronnie Scott's and with a DSM cover. Will have to watch out for it. And the label is Resonance? Does it have anything to do with the present one? I imagine not. The logo is completely different, plus with a DSM cover it must be from another time.

Thanks, I wasn't aware I had written this.

I always wondered why Morgan looked like that on the cover for Live at the Lighthouse, and what might have been the cause. ( I replaced "what Morgen looked like that" with "why Morgan looked like that" -- L. Kart moderator; so shoot me)
