John Handy Columbia Mosaic Select announced

[Guy Berger]

as I've got no Handy I think I'm going to grab this one... and maybe the Live at Yoshi's 2CD

Good choices????

Yes, they are good choices, Handy is a very fine player, in my opinion, and the Columbia recordings in the Mosaic set are some of his best recordings. The reunion of the Monterey concert band is not as exciting as the original concert, but it is still worthwhile. The Monterey concert is one of my favorite live jazz recordings, and one that retains interest after many listenings.

Seconded. I haven't heard the reunion but the Monterey concert, as well as the studio album that followed, are both more than worthwhile.

Did you call or e-mail Mosaic? On their site those sets are not available for pre-order yet.

I called... I like talking to their staff....

So does my mother. She likes talking to them so much that she has not wanted to get any birthday or Christmas gift for me other than a Mosaic set, since their first year of operation. Even if I suggest something else, she rejects it, saying that she only wants to talk to those nice people at Mosaic.

She could always order a 2nd set and send it this way.....

Now that a Japanese re-issue has been announced for his second Roulette album 'No Coast Jazz', does that mean a Mosaic Select is even more unlikely to see the light of day?

I love his Roulette albums so I'm tempted to get the Japanese release and hope that the other two get released in Japan as well.

Handy's Roulette album In the Vernacular was released on CD in Japan in 1999 (TOCJ-6305). I would love to see a Select with Handy's Roulette dates, but I don't think we'll see one anytime soon. Besides, I think 3 albums would not be enough to fill a 3CD Select.

Wouldn't there be anything related that they could add?

I'd absolutely love a Handy Roulette Select, too!
