Almost at the end of the set. The Herman Mars label band was a very good one -- all those tasty Ralph Burns arrangements, solos from Carl Fontana and Arno Marsh, and Art Mardigan was a cooking drummer. Don't miss Jerry Coker's rather abstract tenor solo on "I Love Paris" -- it's close to being in the Warne (not Arno) Marsh class, not that Arno wasn't a fine player.

I also enjoyed the Mars material a lot, along with the Deccas. The MGM stuff...not so much.

There’s definitely a bit of a sag in the middle of the set with the MGM material. Sultanof makes a case for some of it, but in general I don’t think it’s at the level of what precedes or follows. Starting through the box a second time this morning... very grateful that Mosaic managed to get this out.

For those who enjoy this set and the First Herd in general, a recommendation for this CD (Sultanof alludes to one of the two broadcasts it includes in his notes):

One Two Three Four Jump

Thanks for this rec. Enjoyed the '46 Carnegie Hall show so much that I'm looking for some good First Herd comps/shows, etc.
