xybert Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Have been immersed in the Ellington small groups set over the last couple of days: discs 1-5 on Sunday, discs 6 and 7 Monday night. Majorly enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedR Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Roy Eldridge Verve Studio sessions, disc 5 with Benny Carter. Some of my favorite Benny Carter......and RE responds......and/or vice versa. Either way, this is a classic session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedR Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Roy Eldridge Mosaic, disc 6, the Dixieland session. I'll play the other discs (haven't listened to disc 7 yet) more than this maybe. But they sure are having fun and for a studio recording to have this much energy (some over the top drumming and all) is pretty unique. Committed playing all around. I've gained a greater appreciation for Roy Eldridge because of this set. Edited July 16, 2015 by TedR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I picked this up last month. Â I'm about to listen to the half of the set with Stanley Cowell, Clint Houston and Clifford Barbaro. Â I enjoyed the tracks with Cowell, Cecil McBee, who is easily one of my favorite bassists, and Jimmy Hopps, whose playing I hadn't heard before.

sidewinder Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Â Â Complete Horace Parlan Blue Note set - LP7 ('Happy Frame of Mind' session). I'd forgotten just how good the sonics were on this set, helped by the 180g pressing weight. Lovely ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only Tolliver-led date that I owned before picking up the Mosaic Select was With Love, so I think that I made a great decision in picking up this set.EDIT: I hope that that was a general FYI for the uninitiated and that I hadn't given the impression somehow that I didn't like the band with Cowell,Houston and Barbaro, which I was about to hear for the first time when I posted.

mgraham333 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I kept up with each release in the series. It was a great way to introduce myself to new music - in several cases artists I might not have sought out.#5 - Paul Chambers sticks out with the white spine.  All other #s 1-20 were pastel colors.  Then they switched to pictures on the spine from 21 - 38 except for #27 - Cohn, Newman & Green and #32 - Pendulum.Really glad I have them. Lots of enjoyment over the years. Few regrets.  Maybe the Johnny Mercer. I think I posted something here where I compared that set to the candy, Circus Peanuts - those little orange goodies that after two, you've had enough - a little goes a long way. I would love love to see the series make it to 40 - for no other reason to even out how they fit on my shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I think I've now got all of the Selects apart from the 'Boogie Woogie Piano' set and will no doubt pick that one up at some stage.Now spinning disk 1 of:Fantastic - hadn't heard the disk 1 material before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedR Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) The Live Recordings of Louis Armstrong and the All Stars. Disc 1, Town Hall concert. "Pennies from Heaven". Wow. "Back O Town Blues"...... Some excellent cornet (or maybe trumpet) playing by Bobby Hackett behind Louis' wonderful singing. Haven't heard much comment on Bobby Hackett's great playing on these sides. Edited August 4, 2015 by TedR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Â Been listening to a good many Mosaics lately - Cecil Taylor Candid, Ellington Capitol, and Mobley in the past few days. Tonight, parts of two Selects:Sam Rivers Rivbea Orchestra. I panicked a little when this went out print without me realizing that it was even running low. But my copy from an Amazon vendor (priced about the same as Mosiac retail) arrived today. After hearing the first disc, I think that this may be my favorite Rivers large ensemble material.Dizzy Reece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
