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. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 On disc 7 my second time through the set. Lots of new-to-me Ralph Burns arrangements and several compositions here like “Terrissita” and “Beau Jazz” that have helped make this collection a joy to listen to. Much appreciation to Mosaic for persevering and getting it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed the '46 Carnegie Hall show so much that I'm looking for some good First Herd comps/shows, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
