[Your audio equipment?]

It's cool to see that this has always been your passion Charlie. Great photographs. I am afraid I will never able to drop by but I do believe it all sounds great. But if it's mostly about the music it would be great to see you post a little more in the music threads. Sounds like you have a great collection and you make enough listening hours so do share your experiences here on the board

[everything SAM RIVERS - whacha got?? - and talk about 'em all!]

Great stuff. Rick Lopez is an amazing guy. Now if every artist just had one dedicated fan like that we would be swimming in jazz books and documentaries

Very little interaction between Redman/Taylor/Jones, much of Taylor's work on it is solo.

True. I don’t like that album. One of those records where the seemingly interesting line up does not work.

Mal Waldron would have become 99 years old on this day. Hurray for Mal

Maybe…. does your cat have an odd shape or meows a blue note now and then TTK?

There comes a time that TTK revisits this thread and happily announces that he found it. It might be this week, might be this decade, might be…

[Byard Lancaster, The complete Palm Recordings 1973-74]

This is great news. Very satisfied with the Baikida Carroll they reissued. Truly a beautiful reissue. Not familiar with these records but I do consider myself a Byard Lancaster aficionado so I’ll probably get this. It’s great anyway that there are still labels that are reissuing the more obscure jazz

[Footage from Rudy Van Gelder's studio in 1965]

Thanks for sharing. Lovely footage. I wish there was more video footage of recordings at the van Gelder studios.

Me (black shirt) with @Niko at the Bimhuis where we saw Sylvie Courvoisier, Wadada Leo Smith and band. Great concert and I could confirm Nikos a really nice guy in real life as well 👍

Wow, that's special. Looks close to the line up of her album which is great. Fennesz will be really interesting in that company. Enjoy it

How am I a subscriber and yet I never get these emails? I also seem ti get the sets after you all. Oh well, at least I do indeed get the subscription I paid for eventually. 

Also I wish they would stop it with releasing every album in a different different format weirdness, I would much rather have a CD or legitimate download of the Century City Playhouse album, for example, than a super expensive record set that I don't have room for. 

You could just send Matt an email. And about the format: each has his preference right? I loved the 3lp set. Not sure Nimbus is big enough a company to release everything on two different formats.

Thanks. Recently I got new Mosaic box set and there was no customs fee at all, so I was pleasantly surprised.

I don’t want to temper you’re joy but there are post companies that send a bill afterwards….

Played it all today, so just first impressions, very pleased to have bought it. Very taken by Freeman's playing so far

Yeah he was a very fine piano player. Very recognizable trough his own style that is really part of the whole sound of these records.

John Coltrane - Plays

I always think of this one as the forgotten jewel. Rarely mentioned but some of Coltrane's absolute best playing.

It’s one of the Quartets very best. I’ve got the LP as well plus the cd for the bonus material.

Thanks @Pim, your enthusiasm for them here was a small part of the reason I decided to go for them. I've been rediscovering Chet recently 

Do you have Live Quarters with Freeman Mosaic? The seller has that listed to.

No I haven’t. I did listen to some samples a few years ago and can only remember I found it too much money for what I heard.
