Thanks for posting that list, I just ordered the Mobley...been meaning to get it for awhile. I don't have the Brooks CDs, probably need to attend to that also. I don't take much comfort in knowing these will be available in digital format sometime down the road, I guess I'm a Luddite.

Shorty Rogers RCAs would be a good Mosaic project. Lots of love for Miles in the voting so far.

Agreed. Lots of fabulous moments on this Cd. Well-recorded too. I noticed, recently, it's now available at bmg

Is there an appreciable difference between a cd-r and the original cd? This same cd-r deal is also available for Reminiscing at Blue Note Reminiscing at Blue Note

I voted for the Ellingtons and Herbie Hancock (VSOP). Surprised to see so much support for Johnny Mathis/Perry Como. Why not just release it all!

This will be a really fun set. I hope Ted Kendall does the remastering, the grp decca reissues from the early 90s sound horrible to me.

There's also some 80s material that I'd like to see reissued. Actually, I think the more fundamental question is can they reissue more stuff, not what can they reissue...time are tough, 'specially in the music bidness bluenote 80s/90s

The applause in a lot of v discs seems dubbed. Not sure where these were recorded many times ("Hot Horn Hall" )?

Any discernible change in tone or coverage with Morton taking over?

A second volume of this group at the Village Vanguard has been released. Looks promising, any comments (on either volume)? Winter & Winter cduniverse

I bought some Nagel Heyers a few years ago but eventually ended up selling most of them. I've kept Sandke's Bix cd, but haven't listened to it in awhile. I can't seem to warm to neoclassicism in jazz, though I'd like to.

The work of EVERY saxophonist (Hodges AND the section) on "Blues For New Orleans" guarantees them all a place of immortality in my heart. Amen, 'blues for n.o.' is OUTSTANDING. And to think, Johnny Hodges was gone two weeks later, listening to these blues is bittersweet for sure. The New Orleans Suite seems kind of underrated, I just bought it recently and there's some wonderful music here, Portrait of Wellman Braud is a beauty as is Borbon Streen Jingling Jollies. Ellington's font was inexhaustible!

New issue: Ari Brown, Live at the Green Mill and favorite reissue: Dewey Redman Stuggle Continues (both issued late in 2007, but I'll count them for 2008) Favorite new issue Favorite reissue

I've been listening a lot lately to Warne Marsh (All Music--Nessa).... Lou Levy's playing has been catching my attention. Pleased to see a thread devoted to him, I'm just discovering him...he plays 'sideways' as noted earlier in this thread, in a good way.

three cheers!

How's the Armstrong? We might need an occasional reminder that some of these are still available elsewhere (I know I don't always check in time ). For instance Dizzy Cool World and Dizzy Goes Hollywood are both on the recent Mosaic box set, and Hobo Flats is on the Nelson Mosaic set. (I'm pretty sure Hobo Flats is one where the entire album shows up and not halfsies.) Thanks for the list! The Armstrong is very fine, the original incarnation of the All Stars with Earl Hines and Teagarden. All the music is, I believe, on the oop Mosaic set.

I notice a couple of new reissues, Verve seems to have no interest in publicizing their reissue program, maybe there are more Sonny Stitt Sits in with Oscar Peterson Stan Getz in Stockholm For reference, here is a link to a thread on the summer reissues summer 2008 verve

The semantics of this are funny--contemporary jazz is found on the station Beyond Jazz. Personally, I don't care for most of the 'beyond jazz' content, I don't mind seeing the station go. However, I think room should be made on the 'real jazz' station on xm for groups like organissimo. The contemporary jazz content on xm is largely restricted to Wynton and the Lincoln Center folks.

I'll second the recommendation for the quintets' album! (don't have the other one). My recent purchases: Von Freeman--Doin' it Right Now Ellington -- New Orleans Suite Chick Corea--Tones for Jones Bones

Sound samples on this are intriguing. Any comments from those who have heard the whole thing?

I thought I'd bump this thread up, looking for recommendations for FH Newman's Atlantic sessions.

....and it keeps getting better, I really like the Booker Ervin sessions at the end. Right now, I'm listening to Blue Mitchell, disc IV

Thank you for sharing these materials, they're fascinating!
