edition of 500 14 remaining

I just received four from these new CTI reissues (Wilkins, Benson, Hammond/Prophet, McCord). I was surprised by the Jack Wilkins / Opal CD: what a session with a great guitar player reminding me of Jim Hall. Highly recommended. Benson as expected: fabulous sound, arrangements and players - dream teams indeed. McCord is not jazz but still quite nice...! Prophet waits to be played. Then I ordered the Farrell CDs as well as the Farmer/Tokyo and Green/Fox ones.

Thank you. I just ordered the CD set too.

You are welcome. I got it from Discogs.

It seems the Bandcamp download does not offer the booklet that comes with the Bandcamp CD...

Coming. https://www.mosaicrecords.com/product/classic-vanguard-piano-sessions-limited-edition-box-set-281-6-cds/

All 14 tracks will be issued on April 11, 2025 in Japan on *ONE* SHM-SACD (not hybrid, $32). "[Machine Translation] At the Five Spot Cafe" was recorded by Kenny Burrell with Art Blakey and Tina Brooks at the legendary Five Spot Cafe in New York City on August 25, 1959, and six previously unreleased tracks recorded on the same day have been added to this complete disc. Kenny Burrell made his first live recording as a leader at New York's legendary jazz club, The Five Spot Cafe, on August 25, 1959. The band he assembled for this show, already highly acclaimed for his Blue Note albums at the time, consisted of Art Blakey (ds), Tina Brooks (ts), Bobby Timmons (p), Roland Hanna (p), and Ben Tucker (b), the best lineup of the time. The performance was soulful and passionate, and is still regarded as one of the greatest hard bop albums of all time. The remastering was done by Kevin Gray, who has worked on the Tone Poet series. The cutting/remastering was done from the original master tapes, and the natural and warm sound, which has been highly acclaimed on previous reissues, provides an experience as if you are listening to the analog tapes as they were. The booklet includes never-before-seen photos by Francis Wolfe, an insightful essay by Sid Schwartz, and an interview with Kenny Burrell himself looking back on those days with Blue Note president Don Was. Includes translated booklet. This is a Japan-exclusive project. [Tina Brooks (ts), Kenny Burrell (g), Bobby Timmons (p), Roland Hanna (p on Disc 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10), Ben Tucker (b), Art Blakey (ds) Recorded live at Five Spot Cafe, New York, August 25, 1959. This product will be on sale on Friday, so you will receive it on or after the day of release."

Thank you.

You are welcome. I am trying to figure out which titles I am missing. These are as follows: Eric Gale - Forecast Grant Green with Hubert Laws - The Main Attraction [Grant Green's only single leader album left on KUDU] Joe Farrell - Canned Funk Joe Farrell - Penny Arcade Urbie Green - The Fox George Benson, Joe Farrell - Benson & Farrell Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker - The Carnegie Hall Concert Vol.1 and 2 Kathy McCord / Kathy McCord Jack Wilkins / Opal George Benson / Pacific Fire Johnny Hammond / The Prophet What do you think? Thank you.

[CTI ALLTIME COLLECTION 1st Period (60 Titles)] [60 masterpieces from the prestigious American jazz label CTI Records (including sub-labels KUDU and SALVATION) are now being released all at once. All titles come with a luxurious booklet that reprints the liner notes from the original Japanese LP releases.] Including the 1st CTI record ever released: Kathy McCord

Speaking of Birdland, Lou was kind enough to sign my records 15 years ago in Athens.

RIP. We were happy to see him and Lonnie Smith here in Athens 2 or times.

Thank you very much for the elaborated reply! Since the CD has the version with vocals by Herman, and this version was recorded for MARS acc. to the respective MOSAIC set booklet, on July 7, 1952 and Bill Perkins plays therein acc. to the MOSAIC booklet, it may be that the CD has the recording date wrong. Is the timing the same as is at the Mosaic set, i.e. 2:54? Personnel of the MARS date: WOODY HERMAN and THE NEW THIRD HERD: Don Fagerquist, John Howell, Roy Caton, Lee Fortier(tp), Carl Fontana, Urbie Green, Jack Green (tb), Woody Herman (cl, as, vcl), Arno Marsh, Dick Hafer, Bill Perkins (ts), Sam Staff (fl, bari), Nat Pierce (p, celeste, arr), Chubby Jackson (b), Sonny Igoe (d), Dolly Houston (vcl), Ralph Burns (arr). These are the data I get from the three Woody Herman boxes released by MOSAIC, in regard to Early Autumn aka Summer Sequence PT 4: 1. SUMMER SEQUENCE PT 4 - COLUMBIA, December 28, 1947 - master 3:04, take 2 3:07, take 3 3:30 [no vocals, Stan Getz, ts] 2. EARLY AUTUMN - Capitol on December 30, 1948 in Los Angeles, California - 3:14 [no vocals, Stan Getz, ts] 3. EARLY AUTUMN MARS Verve MGV 2030 - NYC, July 7, 1952 - 2:54, [Bill Perkins, ts WOODY HERMAN on vocals]

In a review of a reissue of this LP, the following is mentioned: "Incidentally, the booklet details have goofed in claiming ‘Early Autumn’ as the 1947 one originally called ‘Summer Sequence Pt. IV’ with Getz – surprising too, since they reprint Woody's lengthy notes that devote a whole paragraph to explaining this was a 1954 version with Bill Perkins. " I could not find a readable scan of the back sleeve notes though. So, this 1954 recording of Early Autumn featuring Bill Perkins appeared first time in this LP? Thank you.

and this great book is also sold with Benny Golson's and Quincy Jones' autographs. I have both... https://www.amazon.com/KANE-HARLEM-1958-Deluxe-Limited/dp/8894366634/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.D_0QHCEpg-KPtg8HV0_zlA.Y0nq1jQ1ak-nuNI1GSYSQjrW3ARZq5zbOeIMcx4-kWg&dib_tag=se&keywords=8894366634&qid=1729670790&sr=8-1

... and we all know what happens at 44:59 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY4w4_W30aQ&t=2699s RIP Maestro.

These are acetates (?) sold at ebay. Were they used at radio stations?

Thank you but I live thousands miles away... I found the photo at the web.

Thank you indeed.

RIP. A giant. So many standards by him. The family knows him from the Terminal movie with Tom Hanks. He also made a record in Athens in 2000. “Even now at 90, I don’t know everything there is to know,” Mr. Golson told the Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2019. “So when I teach master classes, sometimes the teacher learns from the kids. That’s the way it is. That’s the way it should be. Like Sonny Rollins said to me once: ‘There’s no end to this music.’”

Thank you. One more photo from the event: Bill Bentley, seated, holds a photograph of drummer Sam Lay, who was unable to attend SXSW due to illness. Bentley, an A&R executive with Vanguard Records, was among the people who worked on "Born in Chicago" that features, from left, Nick Gravenites, Harvey Mandel, Corky Siegel and Barry Goldberg.

Thank you very much. B-Side is very interesting as well - I like the sax etc. contributions which are more "free" than expected for such a composition. Very very nice.

The bassist Scotty Holt had recorded with McLean. but it seems he did not make any recording since 1969/70. Are there any bio data available? The wiki page does not provide birth dates etc. Thank you

Indeed, thank you. It is Side A of this single featuring "Chicago blues pianist Erwin Helfer playing harpsichord, AACM drummer Steve McCall, possibly Scotty Holt on bass, and Nick's close friend, Paul Butterfield, on harp". However at Side B "Whole Lot of Soul." more AACM musicians perform as mentioned by @Chuck Nessa above and by Gravenites [Lester Bowie, trumpet; Julian Priester, trombone; Roscoe Mitchell, alto sax]. It would be great this B-Side to be shared as well. Perhaps @Chuck Nessa can help us. Thank you! https://www.discogs.com/release/12818010-Nick-The-Greek-Drunken-Boat
