Me too.

Exploring some of the Song Books as I read the biography. Her singing on these was simply sublime.

I can't find this anywhere! Are these previously issued recordings or new ones, and where can I find it? Many thanks!

Two chapters into this new one. I'm liking it so far. She's done some good work on Ella's early years.

Just saw Bradley Cooper's "Maestro." Really excellent!!

Mine arrived Friday and I'm finally getting to listen to disc 1 now. Sound is *outstanding*! Really looking forward to exploring this set!

Nothing for me since I got an email saying my order was being processed. We'll see.

Still occasionally reading in this fun book. Recently, I read the passage where someone asked Zoot Sims what it was like performing with Benny Goodman in the much maligned tour of Russia. Answer: "Every gig with Benny is like playing in Russia." Ouch!

Word.

I always loved both volumes of this one. Sarah was in fine voice!

Disc 2

Some great Ella here

Right. Got that one wrong. Sorry!

Sorry to be so long in answering this (I've been away for a few days). I wasn't so much thinking of the Concord label itself as much as all the labels and their material that Concord owns: Prestige, Fantasy, Riverside, Limelight, Good Time, Contemporary, Milestone, Vanguard. The list goes on and on. We've often talked here about how nice it would be if Mosiac were able to mine that material.

I caught that too! It would indeed be wonderful if Mosaic could dig into THAT treasure!!

Ah, one of my favorite Columbia box sets from the LP era. It had/has great sound and was my major introduction to the First Herd. The Mosaic has replaced it in my listening, but I have a very soft place in my jazz heart for this one!

Closed my eyes and this one popped out.

Just getting into this one. Interesting concept!

I saw that one. It's Scorsese and I particularly liked the ending, but I do wonder if there couldn't have been a bit more editing.
