Seems when I ordered this set, a lot of questions started appearing. I'm on the bonus tracks of "Gotham City", the interview with Dex, great to hear that voice though. These little extras are nice to have.

Received my Dexter set today a week after ordering. On disc 2 of "Homecoming". I have not heard this music at all so I am enjoying it. I like how these sets are presented and packaged. I was going to say the same about shipping, but the set arrived on the 7th day of their shipping timeline. As an aside, and something rather common with 70's albums, all the discs list a remix engineer for the credits, so does that mean as the albums were originally prepared the original mixes were unsatisfactory, so therefore they were remixed?

I've been getting a lot of emails from Amazon about BN titles being made available on demand, wouldn't this make the original CD issues harder to find, if third party sellers are carrying the on demand CDR's?

Should be here in a few days, shipped yesterday.

Listening to "Manhattan Symphonie" on Rhapsody in anticipation of the box which shipped today. Wonderful differently flavored take on "Tanya" than the absolutely indispensable BN original. Man does Eddie Gladden have duct tape, dot heads or towels on his toms tho, so dead!

I haven't gotten my set yet Valerie, I guess the bonus disc *is* "Great Encounters" then.

McCoy Tyner: Mosaic Select disc 3

McCoy Tyner Mosaic Select: disc 2

Valerie, "Great Encounters" is not included because all those are bonus tracks on the other discs or on the bonus disc. All that music that makes up that album IS included though.

Thanks for the opinion Jim, in my experience you are generally right, although I think Lon has good points also.

Should be sent out within the next few days. I really like what Columbia is doing by issuing them in this way b/c some titles get much needed remastering and some rare titles are included. Are all these sets limited pressings? I already have the previous reissue of "Stepping Stones" which is probably the best Shaw on Columbia, but will be getting that set sometime for the bonus disc. I'm familiar with all those tunes from the "Live" sets on Highnote. Too bad they didn't think to do a 2 disc Legacy Edition at the time but it probably would not have sold well.

Thanks ubu. "European soul tenor" can't be all bad! The Hancock stuff is not included but there is a bonus disc including most of Dex's contributions to "Havana Jam", "Montreux Summit", there are additional takes from "Gotham City". There is also "Isn't She Lovely" which I don't know if it was released until now, but apparently that session for that tune did not turn out well. Woody Shaw III and Woody's estate had a huge hand in producing this set, I was not aware Maxine Gordon was Woody III's mom. The additional contributions Dexter made to "Montreux Summit" are issued on Stan Getz's "Complete Columbia Albums Collection" set.

Miles, Wayne, Pat Metheny, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Jack DeJohnette, Herbie, Woody Shaw, Tony Williams, Keith Jarrett, JOS, Chick, Jackie McLean, Bobby Hutcherson, Trane, McCoy Tyner, Kenny Garrett for me as most frequently listened to.

Well, I decided to order this first, and then I'll get the Shaw box, but whats the general concensus of LTD's Columbia dates?

For me his creativity and originality are what jazz is and should be. Reminds me of a comment Robert Glasper made that jazz should always include whats going on now to stay relevant as great as things in the past are, but Sam's music, and I need to hear the post BN stuff, a tune like "Cyclic Episode", "Euterpe", "Effusive Melange" still are very fresh and hip in my view, "Extensions and Dimensions", is an album that I think helped contribute to the sound of the European avant garde. I can hear the roots of Brotzmann's approach and things like that in this music.

Damn........ Love the BN's and Miles in Tokyo is one of my fav. records due to Sam's contribution

No. Dissapointing, that they don't even have inner sleeves considering these are a "boutique item". Doesn't matter, I just would like the rest of that music

I'm gonna order the Woody Shaw set after Christmas, Are the mini LP jackets in these sets heavier grade cardboard?

Beautiful, looks great!

damn, RIP

Not by this point, no.

Not too familiar with his playing, but get well Joseph!

Not sure they were a good match... Larry was a better fit with the post-Coltrane saxophonists. Exactly, although Hank had adopted some post Trane techniques, I think his ideas and style were too rooted in bop and hard bop vocabulary, whereas someone like Joe Henderson who complete embraced the inside outside approach was a better fit.

I was just about to name that one. A great album, his last one as a leader before he retired, right?

what's the deal with the cheese? WOW how can someone confuse Ray Brown and Ron Carter?
