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.

Word.

Some good Bechet features on this one as well as the Dorsey brothers playing together and freed from the confines of their dance music big bands.

Pee Wee Russell was an expressionist painter?! I kind of like the one on the right. Like all those nice box sets in back of the paintings too!

I'm watching that one too--just starting season three.

Exploring these very fun concerts.

🤣

The anniversary got away from me too. Playing some Fats tonight!

Haven't heard from you in a while, Chewy! Hope you're well!

This one is a 3-disc set with some trombone by Miff Mole.

Recently got the Condon Town Hall Concerts, but it's nice to break them up with some rare tracks from Nat.

Yeah, it was like "Combat!" The Germans would all jump from behind rocks and trees so they could all get drilled by the heroes of the show. I often wondered what real vets of the war thought of that. I bet they *wished* the enemy would have done that!

Thanks Chuck. I hadn't realized that Koester did them all, but it does look like he did. Apollo did a fair number of blues/early R&B things that were reissued in that series. I went back for a look, and I think Mosaic would define around eight or nine of those as jazz, but given that they were all reissued anyway--and pretty well--it probably wouldn't pay to do it again.

That is a drag. When I went several years ago, I stayed in there listening so long, my ears got sore from the headphones. Hope they make them available again soon!

A recent acquisition. OP at the height of his early powers and some very fine Herb Ellis. And then there's Ray....
