It's so big it doesn't fit into any of my book cabinets and I have it standing on the floor next to one.

I also have Jazz Life, the biggest coffee table book ever. But I didn't now it was a cover book. Well the pics are by William Claxton, but I still haven't looked much into it, and I've had it for more than 10 years!

Yes, all songs and arrangements are by Golson. Wonderful cover.

I remember Ronstadt from when I grew up.

The people you mention are personal heroes here. Yes, completely agree with this.

With Morgan, Gigi Gryce and Benny Golson in the front line. Plus Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Charlie Persip.

Yes, I might go for it too. After all I'm a big cover art fan. Yes, the most expensive is the shipping . I'm in the middle of the ordering proceess, but I saw they have no PayPal option. So for me it's out.

That book must be really great. Caetano Rodrigues is one of the experts in bossa.

I like cover art very much and therefore have some books, though most have been previously mentioned by Big Beat Steve. I'm also a great fan of Taschen, of which I have some books, like the iconic Rock Dreams, although that is not a cover book. I have California Cool, the Taschen book on Alex Steinweiss, a Jazz Covers book by Taschen, another about Prestige covers published by Concord, In the groove, a Taschen book called 1000 covers and The 100 best-selling albums of the 50s, another little book on record covers with Kind of blue and Come fly with me. And also a couple of books on book jacket or covers. One of them titled Penguin by design by Penguin and about the design history behind the Penguin paperbacks. And a BN cover book by Graham Marsh I didn't think of yesterday. And yes, there was a Taschen edition of Rock Dreams, but only of Guy Peellaert's drawings and Nick Cohn's texts, not of the Rock Album that used to go bundled with it. And I also agree that the Steinweiss book was a bit of let down. There was I think about 2005 or 2006 a second and cheaper edition of that book for 50 €.

I have and like that set so I'd probably go for that box.

Yes, I think Stanley Turrentine was the ideal partner for the Three Sounds in this venture.

I have that one and am listening to it now. This thread made me search for it and pick it up.

But my taxed purchases were not through Ebay. And sometimes I have to pay taxes and sometimes not. So it's getting more confusing as time passes. And I really don't know what the situation is. And I remember the time too when no taxes were charged at all.

Good that you comment on this, because I've also seen additional customs duties with some things from the US. Including two Mosaics I had ordered directly from them or two T-shirts I recently got from Gibson, or a boxset from Chuck Nessa. So I thought it was based on the height of the price.

And enjoying it immensly! Followed by:

Very interesting article!

I have it from back in the day, but still haven't read it. It's high on my priorities list but I have too many other things to read.

Like Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, for instance.

A framed Dylan picture by Don Hunseth, if I read the name correctly, and a Wolff picture of Donald Byrd from what I think were the cover sessions for Off to the races. Among other things, of course.

Yes, Justin. Last night I listened to the box again, and that session struck me particularly. It's unissued except for a track that was in a sampler.

I just saw the movie last week in a cinema and loved it. It's absolutely brilliant.

Thanks. But wasn't it a 3 CD box? I have it but can't seem to find it right now.

But isn't all this on the BN released box? Or is there material on the Mosaic that is not on the BN box?

Fresh from the oven. I got it today from a fellow board member.

A Mosaic I keep returning to often. Pass is equally capable here on nylon or steel strings. And that's a sign of a very good guitarist. He's paired here manily with Claire Fisher or Les McCann. I prefer the former one. Although McCann is also good in a more souljazzy bag.
