I think the Burrell Blue Note albums were perfectly presented as single reissues, as they are all a bit different from each other. Closest thing to a box set was the double CD with the first sessions. The only rarity is the Japanese LP Freedom with leftover tracks, but musically I didn't think it was very thrilling. The Burrell Verve sessions - that would have been great, but who knows if the unissued material still exists?

Due to problems with train connections we couldn't make it, but two weeks later we saw the end of term presentation of the HIP class with excellent violin and oboe students. Last week it was the general rehearsal for a performance of Händel's four Coronation Anthems, garnished with a Telemann sinfonia with three trumpets and two concerti grossi by Georg Muffat in arrangements for grand baroque orchestra. The large student choir in the Anthems had the walls of the concert hall vibrating! Best choir performance I ever heard.

Let's have a more serious look at possible Mosaic box sets from the Blue Note modern jazz catalog. What we now have available is: - Joe Henderson (including the two Kenny Dorham albums) - Freddie Hubbard (plus Impulse! albums - Sonny Clark We already had, but some long oop: - Hank Mobley 1950's - Hank Mobley 1960's - Andrew Hill 1963-66 - Andrew Hill unreleased sessions Select - Lee Morgan 1950's - Bud Powell (plus Roost, except for the Bud Plays Bird album discovered later) - Thelonious Monk - Sam Rivers - Don Cherry - Thad Jones small groups (including Roulette and United Artists) - Curtis Fuller - Tina Brooks - Dizzy Reece Select - Paul Chambers Select - Grachan Moncur III Select - Jackie McLean 1964-66 - Stanley Turrentine Quintets / Sextets - Lou Donaldson 1957-60 - Jimmy Smith February 1957 - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 1960's - Bennie Green Select - Freddie Redd - Herbie Nichols - Grant Green with Sonny Clark - Blue Mitchell 1963-66 - Donald Byrd / Pepper Adams - Horace Parlan - Larry Young - Elvin Jones - John Patton Select - Duke Pearson Select - Dexter Gordon Select Keystone - Don Pullen Select - Tony Williams Select - Ike Quebec 45 sessions There were box sets of the Blue Notes of Herbie Hancock and Dexter Gordon that Cuscuna compiled. Now that's what I call mining a catalog, considering the avoidance of albums reissued on single or double CDs. But now that most of these are oop ...... Regarding Bobby Hutcherson, we had a Select with rare stuff from his last Blue Note years. I always wondered why they never did a Hutcherson/Land Select. But with practically all single CDs oop this would be an option, IMHO. Another candidate could be Horace Silver, split into three boxes, the earliest albums to the Mitchell/Cook frontline, the next quintets, the Silver 'N' series. I always thought he would have deserved the Mosaic treatment, although everything was reissued on single CDs.

New CD reissue on Liberation Hall of the direct-to-disc album Huracán (originally on Crystal Clear Records). It includes the two bonus tracks that first appeared on a Laserlight CD. Sound is excellent, it seems to be properly licensed as it credits the original label.

New CD reissue on Liberation Hall with the two bonus tracks, seems to be properly licensed. Excellent sound.

My preference, too. I really can relate to what you are saying.

Once more for the morning coffee - I love this music and the way he plays it.

I do, and it is an improvement, but not the same as before, of course. At least I cannot afford the high end models, and what I want is not available anywhere. A high end multi-band equalizer would serve me better.

... and me. With my hearing loss, sonic upgrades make little sense.

Anyone heard this? https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/ronnie-cuber-albums/1886-cubism.html

... only the Coronation Anthems.

If l had it, l certainly would be.

That was my impression, too.

To me, one of the indispensable jazz books.

Exactly!

The only complete CD issue of Shearing's Savoy recordings. All others omitt "George's Boogie" that was on a rare 78. BTW: The track listing on the tray card is nonsense. Discogs shows the correct sequence: https://www.discogs.com/release/4719602-George-Shearing-So-Rare

https://museum-wiesbaden.de/zwintscher Excellent retrospective on a neglected Saxonian painter, Oskar Zwintscher (1870-1916) whose portraIts are stunning.
