Finished the Prima/Manone set yesterday and this morning I started in on The Complete Verve Johnny Hodges Small Group Sessions:1956-61.

So far not too many surprises here, just wonderful music.

I think the rules vary from label to label (and in the case of the Cole for exampe, artist estate to artist estate).

The labels take influence on how much music Mosaic's allowed to put on a CD? Seriously? In what ridiculous a world are we living... holding corporation called America, I guess, and everyone else is voluntarily accepting and following its rules...

I know that the Cole estate for instance stipulated in the nineties how long a Cole cd could be etc. I didn't think that exited in a vacuum, and i THINK I remember talk of other such instances.

Wow, I didn't know about that! Together with what Chuck (I think it was him) posted in another thread about those GRP twofers were some titles were omitted (Art Farmer Quartet, Zoot Sims) due to similar business rules, that's all quite pathetic! Seems like they started digging their own graves quite a while ago...

Well, the amount of people who really care about these things is so few . . .statistically speaking in the market place. Thank goodness for Cuscuna, the Uptown folks and a few others who care and do it right. . .the few. . . the proud.

Buddy Rich, Rich in London (Mosaic single)

Recorded at Ronnie Scott's in 1971.

How is the sound on this? Is this the material that came out on the RCA 'Very Alive At Ronnie Scotts' 2LP set?

Sound quality is good, though you can tell the band is playing in a confined space. Material originally issued on Rich in London (RCA LSP-4666) and Very Alive at Ronnie Scott's (English RCA DPS-2031.

Duke Pearson Select...two discs of nice Bossa influenced stuff...then disc three comes along. The Xmas stuff, I'm sure I'll dig later, but the easy listening vocal session was more than I could take.

However, the first two discs received the rare and coveted wife approval award, so that means something, right?
