Dave Burrell - Windward Passages - hat HUT Bernstein/New York Philharmonic - Shostakovitch Symphony No 5, OP 47 - Columbia Joe Henderson - The State of the Tenor - Live @ The Village Vanguard Vol 2 - Blue Note McCoy Tyner - New York Reunion - Chesky w/ Joe Henderson, Ron Carter & Al Foster

Tubby Hayes - Tubby The Tenor - Epic/Classic reissue w/ Clark Terry and Johnny Costa Gary Burton - Easy As Pie - ECM for Carla Bley's "Reactionary Tango" Ornette Coleman - Ornette! - Atlantic Gary Bartz - Another Earth - Milestone

The Mosaic - Johnny Hodges '51-56 set is sublime ! I have been listening to Mal Waldron & Jim Pepper - Art of the Duo - Tutu and Count Basie - Best of Count Basie on Decca, a wonderful 2 lp set of the 1937-39 Band. I think "best of" sets can work for 78-era recordings - I am a big fan of the Time-Life 3 lp silver box set compilations of pre-bop jazz from the late 1970s.

wolff, I can't compare the Speakers Corner reissue of Bach Suites For Unaccompanied Cello (Complete) to the original Mercury, but this reissue is yet another reason to revel in the glories of Vinyl. Everything about the set is first rate - sound, pressing quality, packaging (including a wonderful booklet with descriptions of the music, recording and an interview with Janos Starker), and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the music. I LOVE jazz music, and my deserted island with solar powered 2 channel stereo w/ a turntable would include plenty of Ellington, Monk, Miles, Sonny Rollins, Coltrane, Bill Evans, Art Farmer, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Giuffre, Warne Marsh, Lee Konitz, Ornette, Wayne Shorter, Steve Lacy, all the AACM cats, Julius Hemphill, Kenny Wheeler, Tomasz Stanko, Franz Koglmann and this 3 LP reissue of Bach Suites for Cello. charles

Janos Starker - Bach Suites For Unaccompanied Cello (Complete) - Mercury/Speakers Corner 3 LP reissue, Suite No. 1 in G, No. 2 in D Minor,, No. 3 in C, No. 4 in E-Flat Gorgeous .....

Mosaic has it scheduled for an October release - MQ10-226, 10 LPs. Whatever the # of sets turns out to be, subtract one for me - I may even pre-order.

RIP Mr Hogan.

street singer, John Jenkins is a nice "blowing session" more bebop than hard bop or soul even though it features Kenny Burrell and Sonny Clark, Paul Chambers and Dannie Richmond(!) - one ballad and 5 bop tunes - Jenkins has a bright alto sound, not as smooth as Criss or Stitt. I prefer Jenkins*Jordan*Timmons on New Jazz/OJC, but that is probably because I am big Clifford Jordan fan.

Dave Holland/Barre Phillips - Music From Two Basses - ECM John Jenkins/Kenny Burrell - John Jenkins - Blue Note/Japanese Toshiba reissue

Johnny Griffin -Change Of Pace - Riverside/Japanese Victor reissue Two bassists - Bill Lee & Larry Gales, Ben Riley on drums and Julius Watkins added on 5 of 9 tracks. Great versions of "Soft and Furry" and "The Last of the Fat Pants".

Thank you, EKE BBB - I will start with your suggestions.

wolff, No, but I am trying out two new phono amps - I am comparing a Crimson preamp/amp with an Audio Note OTO se. My decision will be based on which one gets LPs right.
