I searched archive.org for Basie on Columbia and came back with this: https://archive.org/details/audio?and%5B%5D=count+basie+columbia&sin= Not exactly what you may be looking for, but it may be an opportunity to comb through various CDs/LPs and check for SQ. Searching for Decca and I found this: https://archive.org/details/audio?and%5B%5D=count+basie+decca&sin= Looks like a lot of 78 transfers, which may beat GRP. I think you can download these and make your own CD-R if necessary.

Stenson's Cantando really was not working for me, so I moved on to Sam Jones' The Chant which is really good. Les Spann's guitar is way in the back and completely understated. If I wasn't listening on headphones I may have even missed it... Then on to Non jazz but Leroy Sibbles is always good so here it is.

Thanks Glad you're hanging in there. Good idea on the journal, and I'm not reading much of anything mainly b/c I don't have the energy. Short windows of time happen when I can jump on here or elsewhere online and then it's back to laying down. So at least that keeps me away from reading covid stuff online. 100% this is a bad bitch.

Thanks guys. And I hope Dmitry is getting better. I had the rare symptom of vertigo with this which lasted about 2 days. Glad that's over but the fatigue, sore throat and cough are staying strong. I'm in isolation at my house, taking OTC meds and monitoring my temp and blood oxygen via a pulse oximeter. There's good people checking up on me as well which is very much appreciated.

Thanks man. I get it. Stress and loneliness are hard not to get weary of but either is better than feeling like this.

Well, got my COVID positive test this past Monday (from a test taken Sunday). Symptoms showed up late that day and have taken their toll on me all week. This stuff is terrible. You don't want it. I'm way younger than vaccine age and would consider myself healthy: eat mostly right, do HIIT workouts about 5-6 times a week, and have no pre-existing conditions. But this is so bad that I could easily see how it could take a bad turn at any time. So yall, please be careful and don't get weary or overconfident.

Did they even press 2000 I wonder? Wasn't this one on the new model of quasi-press on demand? Probably the best SQ of this material available is what I've read.

Probably priced under market but stores need cash flow.

Well said One of the best, although for me it's hard to overlook him. Those live Black Hawk dates are all essential IMO.

I enjoy that Mosaic Select of the RivBea Orchestra. Can't necessarily listen to the 3 CDs back to back, but the music is great. Haven't gotten these newest releases but definitely on my radar.

This is just what I need right now.

Toans for Joan's Bones. Ferrell & Shaw take off on this one.

Welcome RTM! I'm wondering - does copyright prevent Mosaic from reprinting booklets from the OOP sets? If printing is too much of an investment, how about PDF? They could load them on thumb drives and sell them to raise funds... Outside of that, who wrote those Commodore booklets? If they're still around maybe they can be contacted and possibly be willing to share? Just a thought.

Via the Complete 2 CD set...then, Love the trio moments here. which segue into horn accompaniments accenting the rhythm. Really, really nice record.

Ha, the balance shifts opposite for me. The nonsense gets too deep to glean the insight!

Yeah, it's a hobby. You should see some of the rods/reels of fishermen I know. Just one will catch a fish of course, but situational analysis and all...

Wait, hybrid SACD over the XRCD?

Milt Jackson's The Prophet Speaks

I purchased an LP from them to be shipped to the US and had no problem back in 2019 and their rep at that time was good. I know others that have never had issues with them too. Hopefully you get an answer soon.

I bet that music is great. Those patches on Mbenza's jacket are interesting. I wonder what the story is behind those Oyster ones is.

Those are some great titles. I broke down and got the download via iTunes (Capitol Classics series or something like that, the one that basically puts out the Mosaic sets). Waiting is by far my favorite but the whole thing is full of great stuff.

This was posted relatively recently elsewhere in this thread. Very enjoyable album.
