Has someone warned Mosaic about the Flamingo mix-up? Or might they just repeat it?

Nonaah with your wife - can you specify on that, please? What kind of activity do we have to imagine? (edited for typo)

A mighty fine one! Clark's first and one of his best!

But the Berlin set is very, very good as well!

Glad to see the above reissues! The McPhee is the one I was most pissed about not having ever found so far, since I managed to hunt down just about every hatOLOGY disc I wanted, as the years passed, but never that one! The new Ayler looks a bit weird... the Berlin set was found on the "Holy Ghost" box, but not the Stockholm. There's also the still unreleased (?) Copenhagen set that would have made a better fit! Even more so, as Copenhagen may be the finest of the three sets...

Just have a look here: http://www.amazon.com/Brazilliance-1-Laurindo-Almeida/dp/B000005HH3/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1304376074&sr=1-1 This is all Almeida/Shank Quartet material, and I guess half (?) of it is on the album/reissue you have?

Got a few of the CDs ("Air Raid", the Dickerson) and definitely got to get more of them!

Just lost my post, but the Bud Shank (two PacJazz albums with Babasin/Harte) is on the Brazilliance discs! The 1954 material, I mean. Except that the CD (Brazilliance Vol. 1, CDP 7963392, 1991) gives the year of both the April (15th and 22nd) sessions as 1953 (15 tracks all in all, including the alternate take of "Speak Low") Brazilliance Vol. 2 (CDP 7961022, 1991) has the 1958 material that came out under Shanks's name as "Holiday in Brazil" (WP 1259) and "Latin Contrasts" (WP 1281), all from March 1958.

I guess I need some whacko old englishman to finally check out Lena's new song... how incredibly lame. If I were you, I'd quickly nominate Downes!

We're talkin' "Around the World in Jazz" it seems? Crappy sound if the rip I've once heard was taken from this... Drop me a pm, Vic!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Lazaro!

You'll miss out on a large booklet going the CDR route... if that's no biggie for you... I kept the 2CD Storyville box even though I have the "Duke Box", just because of the big booklet.

Wasn't 1998-99 around the time that the Verve Elite series came out too? A mythical time of riches ! The VEEs started earlier, 1996 I think. They came faster and 1998 might as well have been the best year there. The final few came in 2000 already.

well, I gladly volunteer to send my jacobins!

Wot, was there a decapitation and I missed it? Sorry about your dog, paps, hope he'll be fine again!

I've just been to the loo...

Over here 'tis
