I dipped pretty heavily into the Mosaic Mildred Bailey for my afternoon show today (the "classic jazz" Tuesday edition of the program), as I was paying tribute to the birth anniversaries of both her and Dexter Gordon.  I inevitably pull out the Bailey set every several years for a thorough re-listening and ended up sending a note of appreciation to Scott, because I can't imagine any other label in the world ever issuing a Mildred Bailey collection done as well as this one was.

The Complete Vee Jay Paul Chambers Wynton Kelly ——- discs 1& 5 

 

Even though Kelly isn’t especially original I don’t tire of these tracks even the wall2wall trios on discs5&6. Great uncomplicated music and just enough variety .

Some great music on this set . Fine in small doses , which in itself  it tricky to achieve given the length of some of the tracks. Too many medium tempo tracks and not enough high energy burners. Despite my reservations it’s a decent set but not one I’d grab if the house was on fire!

I’ve listened only to disc 1 so far, and it was quite late at night, which ended up seeming like a perfect time for it. It does have the feel of a relaxed afterhours (or after-afterhours) get-together. I’ll probably listen to the other five discs in the same manner. I bought the set because I’ve been on a Buck Clayton jag of late and another board member was offering it at a very reasonable price... quite glad to have it. But I can see (or hear) how it might be a rather sleepy fit for others. A lot of beautiful playing, though, at least through disc 1.
