I'd have to say I prefer the Carnegie set as well. It just seems like there was magic in the air. Miles' solo on Neo!!! Holy shit!!! It's just crazy!!! And Spring Is Here is just so beautiful. God, it's beautiful. I love this music so much, I can ignore the sound limitations... But if this ever get improved upon, please make sure I know.

Drimala still has three sound clips up and working even though they are sold out of the set. www.drimala.com I also HIGHLY recommend grabbing a copy of this set while you still can. Thanks John B. Those are definitely swaying me. I'm now wondering if maybe this should be the purchase I make with my Mosaic gift certificate... I wonder which will go out of print first...the Mosaic T/K/M, or JJ Johnson, or the Nessa AEC box? To have such problems...

That's the way I'll get mine as well...as soon as I can find some samples to listen to...

There's a "Sound Of Music" SACD? Wow!!! I'll bet on this version you can actually hear the hills sing! Seriously, I love those songs...

This is a set I've been considering as well. Does anyone know of a website that offers sound clips of the music? That would be most helpful...

Thanks ubu and Lon for your insights towards Chico. Much appreciated.

Alice Coltrane's "Universal Consciousness" is larger than most of the others as well. I think this was an attempt to completely mimic the size and feel of the original lp. The one for Dizzy's "Afro" is really much more thin and flimsy than any of the others. They even try to duplicate the original paper stocks used...

Ooooh, I forgot about the JJ Johnson... Okay, which one: T/K/M or JJ?

I also believe this new issue of The Bridge states on a sticker on the front something about being remastered by Mark Wilder using DSD technology... I usually like the stuff Wilder turns out.

Oops, it's spelled Marsh. Duly noted...

So, is the Tristano/Konitz/Marshe set East Coast, West Coast, or just totally unique, a la the Hamilton concept?

She really is a sweetheart... One in a million!!! B) Say, King Ubu: (or anyone) What is your impression of Hamilton...as a leader? I can't get any real clear indication from the notes as to what made him a LEADER of this band, like Art Blakey was with his groups. As I'm so unfamiliar with this music, it hasn't revealed itself to me just by listening... P.S. I think I am the very worst when it comes to derailing threads...even my own.

I do have the Chico Hamilton set. I picked it up a month and a half ago as I was worried of missing out on it. Like it a lot, but it is much more "sober" than stuff from the East Coast of the same era. And I really dig the sound done by Malcolm Addey, who also did the Tristano box. Tristano was really making waves, eh?

Hi guys, My wonderful wife gave me a Mosaic gift certificate for my birthday last week. I'm torn between a couple items... Trying to decide between the two latest Selects (Green & Weston) + a single disc or book from True Blue, or the Tristano/Konitz/Marshe. These would be my first exposure to any of these guys. All of these sets seem to receive quite a bit of praise from posters here. I'm kinda leaning towards the Selects, but as AE is such a Warne fan, it's kinda got me intrigued as well. Ah, such problems to have...

Hmmm, having PCM in the chain would maybe explain a lot. Like Rudy didn't quite "start from scratch". That's seems a shame if true. I sure love the ALS by Rudy though! One of the best. (except for that chopped ending) I'll give it some more spins; haven't given it as many as you have yet. Agree that Getz/Gilberto is incredible in it's presence. A favorite. Must also spin the Sonny Clark Trio more as that one has yet to really make an impression on me. Okay, resume thread...

I disagree. IMO, it's , way up!

Cool...then I believe Hans saved $7.00

Chuck: I'm pretty sure it was January of '59. But that's probably picking a nit...

Howdy Greg, nice to see you found your way here... To just slightly derail this topic: If you really believe in your statement, how in the holy hell can you defend the Blue Train SACD? It possesses exactly the undesirable characteristics you've just described...

Hans, Does Acoustic Sounds not ship to the Netherlands? Cuz they have it new for $22. Sorry to be a kill-joy...

Jan, If the London Calling disc has the good sound of the new "Essential Clash" 2 disc set I picked up, you are in for a rockin' good time! This set POUNDS!!! Surely they're the same Vic Anesini remasters... Enjoy. B)

That's "X-tina"!!!

Well, that's scary. Is your place in danger? Last year was Hell up here in Colorado as far as fires go. Don't wish that on anyone...

Did you guys catch what Jimmy Fallon had to say about this on SNL's Weekend Update a few weeks ago? 05.10.03 "The fifth Harry Potter book, which goes on sale in July, will have a record printing of 8.5 million copies. Which explains why the sixth book is being called Harry Potter and the End of Trees." Jimmy Fallon on SNL

I may keep an eye out for one of those MFSL discs. Does anyone have a nice, clean mono lp? And, if so, could that person please dub me a copy onto cdr? I would love to hear this session, and believe that it can sound good!
