  1. Ditto. Happy to contribute to this great site. Thank you, Jim!
  2. Thanks for the confirmation, jazztrain. Now I've got to find those Prima versions!
  3. OK, a little revisit of an oldie but goodie. This probably could not matter less, but I just picked up this set on eBay, and I'm positive there's a mistake in the discography. "I'm Shooting High" and "I've Got My Fingers Crossed" on disc 2 (tracks 10 and 12) are credited to Louis Prima and His New Orleans Gang, but that is absolutely Wingy singing. The discography states that Brunswick logs confirm the personnel, but it's clearly Wingy's voice and not Louis' (just listen to the other tracks on that disc). What's more, the booklet notes that these two songs, specifically, were also recorded by Wingy. Am I missing something or just crazy?
  4. This was a great Select. Love all of the tenors on it, but the session with Gene Ammons is particularly rich.
  5. I have been meaning to post that Buddy Rich set for a long time. Completely underrated gem of a Mosaic. I'll regularly have my jazz on shuffle on Plex and hear a song that I think is great and unique only to turn and find that it's this set. Interesting variety of instrumental lineups (I normally hate flute but he even makes THAT work) and always swinging performances.
  6. Huge fan of this set. All-star personnel playing great charts.
  7. Thanks for the confirmation, brownie, I appreciate it!
  8. Resurrecting this thread to ask anyone who has this set whether Autumn Leaves on Disc 2 sounds "scratchy" for lack of a better term. There was a flaw on my disc that warped track 1 (Mine) but does not seem to have affected anything else, except for the scratchiness (like a record hitting dust) on Autumn Leaves (noticeable right at 0:23 when he starts playing and more or less throughout the track on and off). Thanks. Posted prematurely because I have the same issue with Titoro (short version) as well. Strange because Titoro (long version) has no problems.
  9. No affiliation whatsoever, but someone is selling a "Like New" Mulligan Concert Band Mosaic set for $55 with free shipping. One of my favorite sets at a killer price! https://www.ebay.com/itm/294513621065?hash=item4492613849:g:~MwAAOSwr0lhgGXQ
  10. I think the CDs are harder to find and command a higher price. I, too, nearly purchased an LP set that I thought was CD on eBay but was able to back out (I don't have a turntable). I'll get it one of these days!
  11. De Franco-Clark is at the top of my grail list as we speak. Getting it under three figures is a great accomplishment, ghost, well done.
  12. I already had the Kenton Presents, but I've added Freddie Slack. Thanks, crisp.
