Sounds great - assuming it's a one-time payment for the add-on, that is... no need for you to burden any additional on-going cost!

catching up... (another badly clem-ified thread here, it seems) Got the CD as a gift from my dad recently and enjoy parts of it very much - the 70s parts, that is... the opening "Spanish Key" is great, even though Rooney's Miles-isms do get a bit boring over time. But the groove's there, and Michael Henderson is great on "Ife". And Gary Bartz is smokin', too! (And Vince Wilburn Jr. still sucks.)

What the hell is that supposed to mean: "an issue with the tracklisting"? What will hence be replaced? The book and the cardboard covers containing the discs? With my set, it's like this: Disc 3 #20 is given as "I Let a Tear Fall in the River" Disc 11 #4 is given as "Lonesome Gal" Disc 11 #7 is given as "Two Little Men in the Flying Saucer" Disc 11 #8 is given as "Because of the Rain" Disc 11 #10 is given as "Even As You and I" Same info on covers and in the book. Now what? Does anyone understand what's the issue? Do I suffer from defective product? Does the mistake just concert the "tracklisting" or are there in fact wrong tracks on the CDs? And if it's the later, why don't they say so?

"Home Coming" is of course stone classic! "Manhattan Symphonie" is very good as well, "Sophisticated Giant" is a lovely album with mid-size group and some lush arrangements, then there's the meetings... the two long jams with Griffin from Carnegie Hall might not be that great, but they're great FUN! I recently got "Gotham City" on vinyl and I think I've got them all now... will have to check the details of that box though. Oh, and the "Round Midnight" material - in case it's included (it used to run under Herbie Hancock) is very good, too, at least some of it (Dexter isn't on all tracks, his are all good).

Got to know from a reliable source that Mr. Jarman is doing better. Seems he still has some troubles with his memory and is doing therapy (speech and physical). Best wishes for a full recovery!

Well, I'd be all for it, but then the loss of thread subtitles might indeed be bothersome to many as well.

Congrats!

Ahem, sorry Dan - seems I mis-read: the way I understand it, there'd be tags underneath each thread (not for each post). Everyone (not just a thread originator) can add tags.

I'd say yes, Dan! If you want the main threads, do a title search (or do a search via google, putting in "[search text] site:organissimo.org"). If you want to find "hidden" discussions (such as the Pete Brown one I mentioned - I once had to look for it and it drove me crazy... thought I'd remembered in what thread it was, but it took me a while...), you can go via tags. Of course the funny guys amongst us (me included) might add funny one-liners instead of artist names, albums, sensible keywords etc... but I'd still think it would be most useful!

Wouldn't there be a possibility for another Mosaic Select, collecting all the Impulse trio material? Seems only Yale has appeared completely (on the "Trio Live" CD which I'm spinning right now).

Tags would allow to "index" (in a way) off-topic things, too... and they could be added by any registered user (though if that's so, there might be some clean-up work necessary... on the other hand if only moderators could put in tags, that would be of little use, as it would mean much work or not make a big difference). But again, that's only an option if Jim can just check the "use tags" feature somewhere!

Happy New Year to y'all! Hope 2012 may bring joy and happiness... and excitement and exhaustion and passion and pain and sadness and whatever belongs to any good year.

How about tags? If they can be activated easily (which I don't know of course) that might be good. For instance to find the most interesting Pete Brown discussion hidden in the... what thread was it again? The Hemphill "Dogon A.D." one?

*very much* worth getting! :tup

now playing: Sam Rivers - Contrasts Lined up next are these two: "Paragon" is one of my very favorite Rivers albums! @vinyltim: sorry, didn't note your reply regarding my deepgroove question within due time! Thanks!

Yesterday played the entire new Select in one session - it's amazing! So glad they did this!

Still want that (and the Lunceford and the Threadgill and the MJQ and the and the and the... well, that's life, I guess!) Amazed again by how great the first two BN sessions of Rivers' are! Hubbard is wonderful... always the same with him, wonderful sideman, too much showing off when a leader... Hancock/Carter/Chambers are amazing, too!

Made my way all through the new Rivers select but posted about it in the wrong thread (done it again...) - blazing, intense, dense and faszinating stuff! Now into disc 2 of the good ol' Rivers set:

Dolly Rathebe enjoyed a train ride, too:
