which makes these sets utterly collectible! who needs numbers and pink slips when they can have an extra backcover-page? gottahaveitgottahaveitgottahaveit!!!!!!!! I will trade you my Mulligan for your Mulligan plus one other full fledge Mosaic set of your choice. Shit, I think I threw that backcover thing away as soon as I had the Mulligan... Should have sold it for big $$ to some strange Moose... So, as without that backcover thing, your European copy of that Mulligan Mosaic isn´t worth a single euro, you should send me that original boxed set for free.... you know my address!

Huh? What's that ugly cover? Mine looks like this, and I think the cover is alright:

I can't win. Got it now?

Happy Birthday

That's no Fridays... so no possibility to grab them via webradio? It's Fridays, of course, sorry for any confusion. Here's a Guardian UK review I got via the CTList: ubu

Though I think some of the timings are wrong with those MP3s, no? Must check again, have some of these tracks on some cheapo CDs paired with more from that same tour. ubu

Well, let's hope for another nice CT broadcast courtesy of BBC3 then

Not this year. You've had your share ubu

Very nice price for the Monk Columbia box! Even though I will sooner or later have all the individual albums, I wouldn't want to be without the box. A real nice one!

done

And sorry about the delay, I missed almost everything here for three weeks, y'all know why...

Yup, I have it, and it's really nice. Got it on VHS (as with all self-recorded jazz films/concerts, which are few anyway). Any way to get this onto DVD? I suppose only if I send you the VHS cassette... ubu

Just in case someone still needs "da shit" [<<="Arcana Major"]

Is that one worth getting for the rest of what it includes, too? The Frémeaux looks good. Although I have almost nothing they did, I really like that label. Also they send a free catalogue each year... ubu

No problem. The two cuts I heard are ok, but that's the kind of music you must have more to really judge... Drake played some various percussion instruments, it seems, before finally settling on drums. I hope they will broadcast this concert!

Jim, I just caught up with this thread. Terrible news! I wish you and even more so Alison all the best. I'm not the one who has prayers to offer, but you'll be in my thoughts for sure, and I really hope this takes a good turn!

A funny read, yes! I don't have the set (and don't plan to get it), just in case someone wonders. I'm not into Braxton very much (yet). And I guess I would rather start with other recordings... ubu

I posted this in the "rat" already, and as I took the pains to type it up, I may as well post it here, too: Here's The Wire’s review of the recent 4CD Braxton box, as well as Leo Feigin’s reply. The review also covers Andrew Cyrille/Anthony Braxton’s “Duo Palindrome” discs on Intakt, and the hatOLOGY reissue of Max Roach/Anthony Braxton, “One in Two/Two in One”. I did not type up those parts (they follow what I did type up), as Feigin did only write about his own Braxton release. Now here comes Mr. Feigin’s reply: ubu (back from fighting for God and - what to call it? It's not God's own... - country)

Email sent, thanks!

Here's Hodes' other Candid release (don't have it, don't know it): ubu
