We had the Blakey 5tet in Oct. 1979 in our private jazz club in Koblenz , Germany with this group
Valery Ponomarev, Dave Schnitter, Bobby Watson, James Williams and Dennis Irwin . It was a marvellous concert
Havent seen the cover you mentioned so I cannot comment on that. But the Steve Hoffmans Forums have s special thread just for covers which have "stealed" graphic elemerts or the whole Idea from another LP cover issued. As it looks its quite usual to copy other Ideas. This thread is very interesting. Probably we could open one here too showing covers which are very similar in the Idea or graphics.
Yes agreed. Have the 7 LP Mosaic box.
Here are the tiles of the Capitol LP's as content of the LP box:
ST-1187 Shearing On Stage
ST-1416 On The Sunny Side Of The Street
ST- 1715- San Francisco Scene
ST- 12992 Jazz Concert
ST- 2447 Rare Form
I like them all the way from the first to the last LP + the additional material on CD's. Its the lonngest performing vocal group on the scene with many changes after the founding members are gone but still going strong. How many high praised vocal groups are vanished from the scene?
Your pers. taste respected but there are fans who have different preferences

Hi Jim, again a "labour of love" is all I can say. Very detailed.
You did mention Jack Millman (have the LP + Jazz Studio 4 & a CD California Jazz) but have bought recently another big band recording. Its noot listed in Lord's and I would like to get some Information of the band. Can you help?
Thanks Willie
