  1. I'm surprised by how people have reacted to this. I thought parts of it were pretty funny, and it's pretty clearly satire. Everybody who is saying that it's disrespectful to Rollins, well, that's kind of the point: Sonny Rollins would never say or think the things that are written in that piece, and that's where the humor lies. I'm sorry but this is funny:

    "There was this one time, in 1953 or 1954, when a few guys and I had just finished our last set at Club Carousel, and we were about to pack it in when in walked Bud Powell and Charlie Parker. We must have jammed together for five more hours, right through sunrise. That was the worst day of my life."

    People who are getting up in arms about this really need to find better things to do with their time. They come across as obtuse and self-important.

  2. I have the following for sale. Prices include shipping to the US. Will ship internationally at cost. Paypal only, PM if interested.

    Box Set:

    Thelonious Monk -- Live at the Jazz Workshop (Columbia, 2-Disc Set) $10

  3. I am offering for sale a copy of the 6-CD Tristano, Konitz and Marsh Mosaic. (Mosaic #174). The discs are all in like-new condition, while the booklet and outer box are in excellent, almost like-new condition, with very, very minor wear around the corners.

    I will make this available for $125, including shipping to the US. (I will ship internationally at cost.) Paypal only, PM if interested. Thanks!

  4. That's what I hate about jazz; you have to keep on buying different editions of the same album over and over again! :(

    You really don't. I treat these releases as an opportunity to buy on CD the stuff that was never released as an RVG. Sound quality is only of relatively minor importance to me. I never upgrade just to get a better sound. I have a huge collection and I don't think I've ever bought even a single CD that I already owned, unless it was by mistake.

  5. I think this is a really great reissue series coming out of Japan, but I have several that are still sealed that I would like to sell at a substantial discount to the price you would pay for the disc plus shipping from CD Japan or other similar outlets. I am moving in a couple of months and just want to cut back on what I have to box up, so hopefully these can all find a good home. These have never been opened and so come with all the obi strips and everything else.

    Same as usual: PM if interested, Paypal only, prices include shipping to the US, please inquire for international deliveries.

    All discs have been sold. Thanks for looking!
