I bought some over the years on eBay that came out before my time. Some I bought from collectors downsizing. I was lucky enough to have a mentor who retired and gave me some of Mosaic sets. The more recent titles I bought as they came out over the last 10-15 years which have been mostly CDs, but...

September's Tone Poets

Mosaic are the only boxsets I still buy with regularity. The Sonny Clark Blue Note boxset is out for delivery right now and I can't wait!

It’s really bumming me out that Archie Shepp is not in this anthology. Impulse might be the house that Trane built, but Shepp poured the cement! No offense to fans of Mel Brown and Lorez Alexandria, but you’re telling me they have a place in this set over Shepp? That’s nuts.

Received the McCoy Tyner record today. The quality of the scan on the jacket isn’t that good. Leaves a lot to be desired.

Archie Shepp not in an Impulse records anthology is really something. Is that an oversight? After John Coltrane, Shepp no doubt has the most dates as a leader on the label. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t include Sun Ra because most of those records weren’t Impulse albums initially.

Hank Mobley - A Caddy for Daddy (Tone Poet)

I wouldn’t mind a VMP reissue of Wynton’s Hot House Flowers. His tone there is basically perfect. That said, it’s hard to justify VMP prices for these, but they are indeed great records.

Mine shipped this morning.

Chambers of Tain composed by Kenny Kirkland

I know people rag on Wynton and his views, but I just listened to Black Codes after not listening to it in like maybe 15 years. Putting aside our thoughts on Wynton and his views, this is a good record. Standout track is “Chambers of Tain” which has drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts letting loose. With...
