Description

Continuing the slow sell-off of my own Jazz collection, 2000 LPs accumulated over 50 years of buying and listening, culling and selling--those for sale now my own saved favorites, in other words. All those i bought new are at least Mint- and usually Mint, really. Any used ones in lesser condition, i'll describe. Today the rest of the Monk auctions...

Mint copy, #2137 of 7500 copies, long out of print, of the desirable four-record box set Mosaic MR4-112, The Complete Black Lion and Vogue Recordings of Thelonious Monk, 35 wonderful solo and trio performances, including seven not released until this '86 set-- nine solos recorded in Paris in 1954 and 26 performances recorded in London in 1971, 15 of the latter also solo, the rest with Al McKibbon and Art Blakey. 

Typically excellent book enclosed has essay by Brian Priestly who was present for the '71 sessions. Also in the box is a great bonus: a Mint- copy of Mosaic Records Brochure No.5 from 1986 (with Herbie Nichols cover and 28 photos inside of box sets and musicians), presenting the first 22 sets released, none of them then yet out of print (all are now).
