    I can't find any reference online as to what this picture references, either a video shoot, tour date, or something else. Madonna's outfit suggests it's not a recording date either. 

    I searched with Google Lens.

    It's a promotional picture ("lobby card") for the film Truth or Dare. Photographer was Steven Meisel, but I could find no other credits.

    I've not seen the film and never will. 😉 Madonna is a taste I never acquired.

  7. Some previously unreleased Lennie Tristano *IS* in the works!! (Now, from StaMford)

    Do these sets still increase in value after they've sold out, or did that ship sail a while ago?

    Mostly sailed CD wise, can't speak to vinyl.

    Some CD sets still sell at high prices, but overall the premiums have greatly declined or reversed.

    The previous Tristano-Konitz-Marsh Mosaic CD box never commanded very high prices iirc. It's currently offered on discogs for $100, fwiw. [Disclosure: I own both sets but am not a seller.]

    Just revisiting this great thread. Haino, Hino and Heino. Sad that nobody thought to throw in Heinrich Heine.

    Turning back to topic, does anyone have a feel for what the acknowledged "classics" of the Japanese jazz scene are for jazz that is not free / fusion / post bop? I.e., what are the most well regarded records in a bop / modernism idiom, between 1945-1968 or thereabout, corresponding to the likes of the Jazz Couriers records, the early Jutta Hipp sides or Barney Wilen's Tilt, in Europe?

    Whilst exploring, it seems obvious that there was a scene there that was pretty prolific, and which birthed the 'Big Names' of Akiyoshi and Watanabe among others, but it doesn't seem to attract the reissues like the later stuff. The J Jazz comps start with a 1969 start date.  I don't know whether that is because it was all released on 10"s, because it was a little derivative, or because the covers don't look as cool.  I see names like Shungo Sawada, Hideo Shiraki, George Otsuka and Takeshi Inomata pop up quite a lot.

    Does anyone know the records with which to start?

    Bossa records welcome. I have happy memories of living Japan and classic j-bossa being a common thing to encounter among certain kinds of middle aged guys.

    This is a very boppish 1959 release by Hideo Shiraki (w. Akira Miyazawa on ts):

    On eBay,...

    If you don’t keep an eye on it [eBay] you can miss deals. Not that long ago I purchased the Woody Shaw for $50. 

    Yeah, I know, but it got to be too time-consuming. And my recent collecting interests are practically disjoint from the Mosaic catalog.

    But with these price trends I'll have to start making occasional surveys. 🤔

    I got about $250 each for my Woody Shaw Muse and my Clifford Jordan Strata East sets on ebay maybe two years ago.  I couldn't justify the value tied up in them for the marginal material they added to my collection over what I had on other discs (one cut on the Shaw, the Brackeen and Ware sessions on the Jordan).  I agree on the value of the Mingus set, that will likely remain on my shelves for the rest of my years.  I had trouble getting anything decent for two copies of the Woody Shaw CBS set (both went for under $70).  Plus I chose to hold onto the JJ Johnson and Sonny Stitt sets, which I initially meant to sell, because they hold so little value in the marketplace and do have value to me.

    [Emphasis added] Wow. I haven't been paying attention to Mosaic CD box prices (not a seller, and not fond of the format/packaging so disinclined to buy at historical price levels), and am surprised to see such softness in the marketplace. I'd expected that on some level, but it never seemed to materialize so I stopped checking discogs, etc. I also own the JJ set, but passed on the Stitt.

    Really interesting.  I realize that these are asking prices not necessarily what you can get but the priciest ones seem to be Lps even when there are cd equivalents readily available.    I'm surprised the Bird box isn't higher up-- I don't think most of these cuts can be found elsewhere.  And would my  Neidlinger/Taylor signed by Buell be worth even more? 

    The Bird / Benedetti box on CD has always (in my experience) seemed to trade at relatively low prices. Interesting that the vinyl is offered so much higher.

    Definitely appears to be a large LP premium. In CD land the Maynard Ferguson box has always been notorious for high prices.
