Not right now, but earlier at work, I have been enjoying the first two CDs of the Jazz Crusaders!

Not the steal of the month, but if you are interested in the Stuff Smith CD set, you can find it at a reasonable price (http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Complete-Verve-Stuff-Smiths-Sessions-4-CD-set-new-cm-/201520148063?hash=item2eeb896e5f:g:jdIAAOSwlV9WSm4v).  Another one where the artist is misnamed and where Mosaic does not appear in the description!

Disc one of that set remains a favorite of all my many mosaic sets. I don't think it has ever been released separately aside from the original issue but I may be wrong.

Isn't that basically Recollections of the Big Band Era/Will the Big Bands Ever Come Back?

I believe there was a CD issue of this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002JJV?qid=1457311507&ref_=tmm_acd_swatch_0&sr=8-8

(along with some PD versions, but this was legit, I think).

There is also an Original Album Series of Reprise albums but it only includes Will the Big Bands Ever Come Back?
