I ordered the 1953 set today.(purple box). This one seems to be more amd more difficult to find (especially on the different Amazon websites). This is the first box of that series I am buying. Hope it is a good one!

Mines still in the mail ! Did you go for surface or is your postman on strike? I thought you had ordered yours before I did. I received mine a week ago.

The Jazz Piano Moods box. The first CD is a very very enjoyable affair. I am glad I got that set.

The Art Blakey set. LPs 3,4,5,6,7and 8.

The Max Roach set.

Just finished the De Franco set. The Maynard Ferguson is ready ....

Always a good sign to see the DHL lorry park in front of the house! My Jazz Piano moods set has arrived!! .

Happy birthday

Yikes! I haven't bought any Fantasy, OJC stuff for a very long time. I am reading this thread and it feels like I am missing a lot of good music I have never considering buying. I don't even know where to start and as I am now converted to vinyl, it makes it even worse. Prestige original LPs sell for a fortune on Ebay and they are very scarce. What are the OJC reissues that you can find on the True Blue website like?

Chico Hamilton LP1.

I wouldn't worry about the boiler. For $112, it would have been a crap boiler anyway!

I have just pulled the trigger too. What an expensive month this is turning out to be! Holidays, engagement ring and this. Help please! Any donations are welcome and should be made to ........

Miles Davis 1965-68.

I have just been listening to this one too. I like Shirley Scott's input in that session.

Back to reality. One of my favourite places for traffic jams. Have you ordered the set yet Yves? I'm procrastinating myself... Do get in touch the next time you come to Bristle and you can visit us. I have no doubt that listening to the Mosaic of your choice should ease off the pain of awful traffic conditions in our lovely city... I haven't ordered the Jazz Piano set yet as our holiday in Iceland has left our bank account rather empty. I will definitely get it but I am going to delay the order as much as possible. Yet, I know Soulstation1 is lurking!

Relax and get back to the thermal hot springs ! Exactly what I did! Blue Lagoon yesterday morning, Bristol traffic jams yesterday evening! What a contrast!

There is a very good article on Dankworth's career in the Jazz Review magazine this month.

Glad to see that the Jazz Piano mood set is still in the 'running low' category. Just popped in an internet cafe in Reykjavik (Iceland) to check there was still time to order it and that Soulstation hadn´t posted his lethal Procratinator picture. I will definitely order this set as soon as I am back in the UK!

Shirley Scott 'Queen of the Organ' (Impulse)

Merci! I remember that Arte used to broadcast one or two concerts as well. I remember watching a great performance with Michel Camilo five or six years ago. Do you know if there is any TV coverage planned for this year? I haven't received my Telerama yet...

Jackie McLean 1964-66 Blue Note sessions. LP 2 and 3. I really like the 'Action' session.

Heading full steam ahead with all guns blazing down the slippery chute ! Yep, and with so many sets on my wishing list, I can't see an end to my addiction! Next on the shelves should be the Piano mood sessions and the Oliver Nelson ( What are they waiting to lower down the price of the European version?? )

Brownie, are you sure that France Inter still broadcast it? I didn't manage to hear a single note played in Marciac last year! It may have been on FIP....

Does the buyer still have three months to leave feedback? In which case and if you have to leave negative feedback, is it not better to post your feedback right at the end of the three month period so that he hasn't got the time to retaliate and to give some shitty feedback.

He is, I believe 23 seconds behind. It is not a lot but it is very difficult to take that much time in a flat stage especially the last one. There are several reasons; 1 If Evans or Leipheimer try to attack Contador, they risk to run out of energy and to lose their current 2nd and 3rd place (if they were to explode in the last few miles). Finishing 4th or 5th would mean losing a lot of money for themselves and for their team. 2 All the teams have a sprinter that they will try to help win the stage by preventing any attack. If Leipheimer or Evans were to attack, it is very unlikely that the other teams wouldn't try to chase them and annihilate their effort 3 The profile of the last stage ( flat ground and the last 25 miles on the Champs-Elysees is not ideal for attacks. The followers can always see the guys who attack in front of them and they usually make them do all the hard work before catching them up two or three miles before the end when they are completely roasted. 4 The last stage in Paris is a very prestigious one and all the teams do everything they can to win it. They don't let anybody out or if they do they keep a close eye on him... 5 It is usually very hard for any rider to win the Paris stage on a solitary effort but it is impossible to imagine that Evans or Leipheimer will be given an inch of space by Contador and his team. Yet, you never know.... Hope that makes sense Jim.
