Tristano at the Confucius: Complete Recordings

[colinmce]

Just checking on something. So music from this 1955 recording comprised the B side of the Atlantic LP. As far as getting a complete reel of this performance my options are thus, no?:

1) 1981 Atlantic 2xLP Unreleased Performances - 13 tracks

2) Mosaic Set - ?? tracks (Discogs list Art Taylor on Disc 1 tracks 1-10 and Disc 2-10; not sure if that is all sourced from the Sing Sing tapes)

3) Illegal Gambit CD - 18 tracks

The Mosaic is on my long-term wish list but not feasible today. I am about to grab the old 2xLP but am more curious than anything what the story is here.

Follow your instinct or steal a burn of the Gambit. I only buy those as cut-outs.

The Mosaic set has 21 tracks (from 5 live sets) Sing Song Room, Confucius Restaurant, NYC

The Gambit CD contains the 18 tracks that were released on the Double LP "The Lennie Tristano Quartet" (Atl 7006 - 13 titles) & the single LP "Tristano" (Atl 1224 - 5 titles) - excludes the three titles released on the Mosaic set (further 20mins of music )

the double LP is usually very cheap. You can always give it to a friend when you procure the Mosaic set.

Yep, I grabbed one for $8

My copy of the double Atlantic LP was pretty noisy. I'd love to see a good legitimate rerelease of this material. Too bad Mosaic's been there done that.
