AFAIK all of the Fantasy material was stored at the Iron Mountain facility after the Fantasy building was sold. Most reissues/box sets released after that had already been conceived at that point. I have no idea who the responsible people at Craft are - they now handle all reissues - and what their criteria are. The new finds of Vince Guaraldi recordings suggest there could be some unreleased Tjader material as well, especially from live dates, but who knows? New finds in recent years were live recordings from other sources, like the double CDs on Acrobat and Elemental.

No idea. There is noone left alive to tell. Perhaps they just jammed on Afro-Cuban rhythms and let the tape roll, and edited later. It was supposed to be Peraza's date , but the label decided to issue it under Tjader's name. Peraza was still a rather unknown percussionist at the time. The gig with Shearing was his first name engagement.

I was thinking about that one, too.

Some of it can be listened to on Youtube:

" It’s the stuff that gets to you between about 12 and 25 that stays with you for life. You never absorb music in quite the same way after that.” So true ......

Yes!

That'a s shock. The whole jazz reissue business would be much different without him. R.I.P. Never ending thanks for the excellent work.

I'd rather not drink any of these contents!

Indeed, and in a few cases longer versions of tracks. Argo LPs were short, so the Mosaic was a bargain in comparison.

With these sidemen, I'd definitely like to hear it! Okay, there are excerpts on YouTube. Typical 1960's baroque jazz. There are versions of the Händel Concerto by broque ensembles that swing a lot more! The harpsichord sounds awful (the instrument, not the player).
