That box set is so incredibly good. I wish Mosaioc would do more of those previously unreleased sets.
If you're referring to Mosaic Select sets, that won't happen; they cancelled the series because it was not economically viable.
I believe that it was recorded for TV, two days after the Monk in Tokyo album, so it’s just a transfer of the mono broadcast tape.
Its Jesses best album by a bit. IMHO. And Moontrane is maybe my favorite Shaw these days. Nice coincidence of LPs
Huge fan. Patricia Barber - Modern Cool was the last album I ever bought by hearing a song on the radio, KJZZ here in Phoenix. I was driving and I turned on the radio and the song, Winter was already playing. I didn't hear who the artist or song was. I pulled over and called the station and they told me. I hadn't called a radio station in probably 30 years before that. It was 1998 and I now have 12 of her albums.
I think Jesse Winchester was at his best when he performed solo, with just his guitar. That is the way he performed for most of his later years. His unique vocal phrasing, gentle voice and his distinctive guitar style were not obscured by a strong and loud rhythm section. But this was the only album that represented his wonderful solo music. Every song is a masterpiece.
Listening to my needle drop of the BNC Adam's Apple on the family room system...a great nighttime choice, sultry & smoldering.
Listening to the Jazz Dispensary RSD Black Friday release "Haunted High", I usually pass on their RSD releases but they knocked this one out of the park
Did anyone get any great music deals this holiday season? The only thing I picked up was from cdJapan. I had some points expiring and they had a coupon for Black Friday. I ended up picking up 9 CDs from them. I got all 6 of the so far released Keystone Korner discs and the 3 of the Consecration CDs. Might not be here in time for Christmas, but it was a decent deal / sale, and I am 100% OK with that.
I'd seen some of her albums around but never bought any of her stuff until I heard Cafe Blue. Was at a high-end audio store looking for a phono cartridge when one of the salespersons was demoing some B&W speakers while playing an audiophile edition of Cafe Blue (Morning Grace). Never bought the speakers but talked to salespersons into selling their copy of the CD. Anyway, this is my collection... I love her long pieces (7+minutes) BTW, which song did you call the radio station about?

I have one of the four you show so it appears you have her newer stuff. The last one I got was Mythologies. Anyway, I can always stream her now, though I'll aways buy music.
NP Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin’ (Blue Note) Classic Records reissue in stereo. I haven’t played any Sonny Clark in ages. Way over due.
The LA Four, s/t on Concord original vinyl. I love this record, comfort music with seriously great sound.
From yesterday’s Record Store Day: This is the third RSD from the Monterey International Pop Festival in the last three years. Last year it was Big Brother and the year before that the Who.
Later Verve albums usually list the recording location & engineer. If they're recorded at Van Gelder's, he's obviously the engineer. Others were recorded at NYC studios like A & R. As far as I know Valentin was strictly a L.A. guy. I imagine his involvement on most albums may have been limited to a final listen to OK the sound quality for release. Before he became Recording Director he did engineer a lot of L.A. sessions, and I have seen him listed as engineer on Pablo albums in the 70s. My guess is that after he left the MGM job he went back to engineering sessions.
NP Donald Byrd - Off Ro The Races (Blue Note) 47 W 63rd DG Mono press Opening track has Pepper Adams off to the races and taking no prisoners!
The purity of the notes on the early BN albums is what drew me into his playing and music in general. What a talent. (Talking Donald Byrd if you aren’t following).
