Sidney Bechet Mosaic 110 - Looking For


Brad

Recommended Posts

I picked up a CD from the set yesterday’s Open House and am loving it!

I know this is a stretch since it’s an extremely old Mosaic but if anyone has one (the CD version) they’d like to part with or share, please let me know. 

I purchased the book so I’m covered in that area. 

Thanks.

Did they have more books for the Bechet...? (I actually wrote to Mosaic about that a few years ago, and at the time they said they didn't have any! The filthy liars! May their noses grow unchecked!)

As for the discs: if you cannot find the Mosaic ones, there are a bunch of options.

Two albums (one 1 CD and one 2 CDs) released by Blue Note themselves:

https://smile.amazon.com/Fabulous-Sidney-Bechet/dp/B000TDFLWU/

I seem to recall "Runnin' Wild" is actually the Mosaic mastering, but re-released by Blue Note. (I used to have both, but I don't anymore, so I can't compare it right now.) Don't know whether the Fabulous is, too, but it sounds mighty fine.

A (not-as-well-mastered) set of the master takes on Definitive (blah, blah, Andorra, blah, blah): https://smile.amazon.com/Complete-Blue-1939-1951-Master-Takes/dp/B000066CR0/

There's also a handful of other Blue Note Japan and whathaveyou releases. Some contain stuff by the Edmond Hall, George Lewis, Art Hodes, etc. small groups, which are also totally worth getting. I have a 4 CD set called "Hot Jazz on Blue Note", but I can't find it on Amazon.

I think they had more books but wouldn’t swear to it. Why don’t you email Scott. If you’re not in the area, I can call him on Saturday.

I have this Mosaic and am open to trades.

What are you looking for?

You can also fill in much of Disc 1 of the set by getting SB-Jazz Classics Volume 1 and 2 issued on Blue Note - France in 1993.

 

The only pieces you’ll be missing are two tracks SB recorded with Joshua White Trio (Careless Love and Milk Cow Blues) and alternative takes of Jazz Me Blues and Jackass Blues).
