I have her Girl Talk on Impulse, which I like very much, and will probably be getting this one. I didn't know about her relation to Maxine Gordon. I also have one rare Harold Vick BN album as a Japanese Mini LP.

My father had a Revox when I was growing up and I also remember that wrinkled tape that sometimes was the result of some misoperation.

That's a great and important celebration marking the end of WWII. A very important day. Well I'm mistaken for it wasn't the end of WWII, but at least of the European hostilities.

Thanks for the helpful views. And, apart from that, Graham Marsh is the compiler, together with Glyn Callingham, of an excellent BN cover book I have. And also of California Cool, again with Callingham. So you could say he's specialized in cover books, which are generally very good.

That could really be of interest to me. Apart from that Graham Marsh is a name to be reckoned with.

But that's a very laudable purpose. I meant that one It's a compilation from BN following in the footsteps of Mosaic featuring the complete BN & Capitol output of the pair. Hope the image is visible now.

I think I've got the three of them. They were published by Jazz Critique, a Japanese jazz magazine or something like that, and carried by Dustygroove at the time. I have them just for the covers, the discographical information, personnel and so on. The text is in Japanese. But not what I just mentioned.

Yes!

Do you mean that CD? I also have it and it's absolutely brilliant.

Is this the famous Marta Sanchez singer in Spain? I hope not. Famous for one very right wing Viva Espanya-kind song presently. I write Espanya like that because I write from a German keyboard without accents or Spanish special characters.

Very good song, indeed. And also a for House of blue lights.

Thanks for that.

I know of another Rustin Man (or is it the same?) who did a great recording with Beth Gibbons, exsinger of Portishead, around the start of the 2000s.

Reading about it here, about the new Mosaic, made me want to hear it. I'm astonished by the tray pic. It shows a terrified Jackie McLean with Billy Higgins. I wonder what he's seeing or what is going through his head.

But this is only good for LPs, right? It's impossible for CDs, I think. I remember the LP days when you could do that, but the shrinkwrap also compressed the cover, and I don't know if also the LP, vertically and horizontally. I guess that's what you're all talknig about. In those days I always removed the shrinkwrap. Nowadays the only CDs I still have shrinkwrapped are unopened.

Oh, I didn't know that. I do that with boxes, but consider them opened because they're not closed anymore.The only records, or better CDs, I still have shrinkwrapped are ones I never opened. Duplicates and so on. And I have some TOCJs that way which I also have in Mosaics, as, for instance, the following: which is also in the 50s box.

But then the record is unopened and how do you listen to it? I see that it being on can be a strong selling point, but in my case that's only the case if I've never opened it and listened to it.

I have it with that cover that, I think was the back cover for my release. So the back side of the booklet. And I like that cover, which I think was from the first pressing, better than the original cover. And I think it was the first encounter between Davis and Evans. No, I just realized it must have been at the Birth of the Cool sessions. But after that.

One of my BN treasures. With the artists mentioned .And some more.

And Basie at organ on some tracks.

The Randy Weston Select is really good. I got it from a fellow board member here.

I rediscovered this a while ago and am now wth the Jones-Smith Inc. group, Basie's Bad Boys and upcoming the Kansas City Seven. What a treasure of a boxset.

Very nice article...

Yes, I also liked his work.

He looks a bit like George Clooney
