Could you possibly cut and paste the article. Without being a subscriber, it won't let you read the article...

John, I don't have any of her live material. Can you comment on the live sessions from Fillmore East, as well as the Bottom Line, if you have those sessions?? Thanks

That's probably true, however I wonder how many of the 19 CDs are worthwhile, and probably each of her hits are reprised at least 10 times over the 19 CDs? I can't imagine any of our board members would have this box set?

Although certainly for completists only, it appears this box set of 19 CDs covers her entire career, and includes many live sets. I have always been a big fan of hers, and it would be great to have her entire output in one box, but at the current price (well over $200), it would be a tough purchase. But, maybe down the road at a more reasonable used price, it would be very tempting. I have only her early material, and would appreciate comments on her releases past the mid-70s...

I would have been interested, except for the fact that they are NOT including ANY of The Band ONLY material from these concerts. Probably an issue of the estates giving permission? I would always be open to purchasing unreleased material from The Band in the future... From the link above, it mentions that The Band had Solo sets during the concerts. That's what got me excited until I found out that they would not be included. ☹️

I'm in the same position with my son.. I may try to find a young collector to pass on my collection...

For me, my single CDs are not the major issue. It's the box sets. Maybe, it would be a worthy idea to pass on box sets on our Pay It Forward link. That way the box sets would go to true avid collectors here. Just ask for return postage in exchange...👍

As I am now in my 70s, and my son really has no interest in jazz box sets- I often wonder when do I begin to downsize or sell my collection? Universities seem to have no interest in physical product-and I am old school about digitizing my collection. When to sell? Give to a much younger collector? Some of our collection took years to acquire and the "hunt" was lots of fun. I don't want to burden my wife with having to deal with my collection. I am in decent health, but you never know when health crisis hits... How are you folks dealing with this issue?

That is the huge question... When to sell our large mosaic collection, when we have no heirs that would have interest? That's certainly is suitable for another topic for input. A sad decision for us to make, when it took so much time and effort to build up our collection... What are people thinking here regarding this tough topic to consider..?

Just saw that at the Hollywood Bowl in LA, on July 17: Maria Schneider Orchestra Count Basie Orchestra Clayton Hamilton Orchestra Always wanted to go to a show at the Hollywood Bowl... Awfully tempting for me, but I live in Portland...🤥

Died over the weekend. She came to fame as one of the earliest female rock DJ. I remember her fondly from KSAN in San Francisco. She later went on to Los Angeles and was working recently for Sirius classic rock station... She will be missed...

I am looking for an empty Buck Clayton Mosaic box to complete my Clayton set. I can offer an empty Johnny Hodges Small Group Sessions (1956-61) box or the Beiderbecke, Trumbauer & Teagarden box in exchange. Or purchase the Clayton box at a reasonable price. Can anyone help? THANKS

I have an extra Beiderbecke, Trumbauer, and Teagarden Mosaic box, and get my hands on an extra Hodges Verve '56-61 Mosaic box. I could use an extra Cooper, Holman, and Rosolino box as mine has a badly split spine.

LOVED this documentary! It now occupies a place at the top of my favorite concerts docs, along with The Last Waltz..

One of the best line-ups I ever saw live in a single evening was perhaps one of the first jazz concerts (maybe the first?) I ever attended in around 1968. The Berkeley Jazz Festival- Max Roach with Abbey Lincoln, Archie Shepp, and closing with a solo set from Sonny Rollins... There were many other ones- single days at Monterey, LAJI (Count Basie members),and Chicago and Detroit Festivals-but the Berkeley Festival I remember fondly. Not so much, though, the hard brick stairs of the Greek Theater...

I received an email today from publicist, Lydia Liebman, stating that saxophonist, Jeff Clayton, passed away yesterday from cancer. I was lucky enough to see Jeff and his brother John play in the Clayton Brothers group which included Terell Stafford. He was also part of the Clayton Hamilton jazz orchestra for many years. He was 65 years old

I have an extra Shorty Rogers booklet (un-numbered) in very good shape. Does anyone need a Shorty Rogers booklet to complete their set? I also have an extra OKeh/Brunswick Bix, Trumbauer,Teagarden (black box only) for anyone who needs one.. Let me know in a PM if you are interested in either.in a small trade or ?? -Jeff

That's a great idea of a separate new topic for partial Mosaic sets/ booklets..

Time for me to return the favor... Thanks to Romualdo's help here I was able to score a Shorty black box to complete my set (I already had the CDs and booklet).from Kingbeer Records.off Ebay. My box came with another booklet. Now I have an extra Shorty Rogers booklet (un-numbered) in very good shape. Does anyone need a Shorty Rogers booklet to complete their set? I also have an extra OKeh/Brunswick Bix, Trumbauer,Teagarden (black box only) for anyone who needs one.. Send me a PM if interested and we can work out something..

I know this is a long shot, but I thought I would try anyway... I have all 4 CDs in excellent condition. I also have the booklet. What I do NOT have is the actual Box. I know some folks out there take the CDs and booklets out and set the boxes aside. Might there be any one, pretty please, that would be willing to part with their Shorty Rogers Box itself..??

PM sent..

I've been waiting for this release for some time now. My wife was a classmate of Danny at Palo Alto High School. He discussed it with her last year at their 50-year High School reunion. I kind of expected this to be released on Resonance. I am wondering whether the extra expense for the vinyl would be worth ordering it over the CD?

Thank you so much for these links. Much appreciated

Does anyone out there have any links to formal interviews with Johnny Hodges, whether on Downbeat or elsewhere? I would especially be interested in any links that would lead to a chance to hear Johnny Hodges voice. I've never had the chance to hear him speak. Thanks so much.

Big time Congrats,Tom! Now you can come to visit some of us.. Looking forward to seeing you again, hopefully soon!
