sidewinder Posted June 30, 2018 Report Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) I’d forgotten that the sale was about to end and that that set was on ‘special’ (at least in the US - by the time it gets over here with all the tax and shipping it’s not so special). Kicking myself for holding off but at least I now have the set (hopefully) at about the same total cost. I guess there can’t have been too many left as this was a ‘last call’ limited run after the set had gone AWOL. Edited June 30, 2018 by sidewinder Quote
woofy Posted July 3, 2018 Report Posted July 3, 2018 I purchased Goodman, Savory, and MJQ on 6/25. Tracking says I should receive it today. Hmmm, maybe one of the last Goodmans? Quote
woofy Posted July 3, 2018 Report Posted July 3, 2018 The Goodman just arrived, a handwritten number 2536. Quote

miles65 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Posted July 25, 2018 The Roland Kirk LP set is on last change. The Ruby Braff single is running low. This is the last Mosaic Single. Quote
medjuck Posted July 25, 2018 Report Posted July 25, 2018 I recommend the Ruby Braff. I know Larry Kart doesn't like it and Mosaic is honest enough to post his review of it, but except for the last cut (which wasn't on the original release) I don't think it is the desultory affair Larry suggests it is. There are the expected great solos and ensemble improvisations by Pee Wee Russell and some impressive work by Dick Hafer (whom I'd never heard of) on tenor. Get it before it's gone. Quote

Dick Hafer is on the Impulse! albums by Mingus - and makes good use of his spots to shine! Agreed on the Braff - nice one. Quote

JSngry Posted July 26, 2018 Report Posted July 26, 2018 Dick Hafer is one of those guys...hard to find the dots to connect record-wise, but always a reward when one is found. Kinda like a cult Carmen Leggio that way. Quote

Kinda like a cult Carmen Leggio that way. Wasn't Leggio more obscure, at least in the 50s/60s? Shouldn't Dick Hafer be a (fairly) household name from his presence in the 50s Woody Herman Herds? And then on "The Herdsmen Play Paris" (Fantasy) and with the Nat Pierce-Dick Collins Nonet (also on Fantasy). Edited July 26, 2018 by Big Beat Steve Quote
JSngry Posted July 26, 2018 Report Posted July 26, 2018 nah. maybe at the time, but when my radar got fired up, I only knew Leggio from Woody and Hafer from Mingus (and Leggio got more spotlight with Woody than Hafer did with Mingus, to be sure). This was like, the very early 1970s. As time went on, Leggio came into focus JUST a bit more (and did a record or two for Progressive that got some exposure in reviews and such), and Hafer hardly at all. And you know, I'm the kind of guy who keeps his eyes open about records and such. was anyway. question - did Dick Hafer ever do a Cadence interview? I know Leggio did, I read that one. Quote

Brad Posted September 12, 2018 Report Posted September 12, 2018 It’s still listed on the main page but that could be an oversight. Quote
