[Larry Kart]

solid gold -- two unissued Norman G. studio dates from '60, '61. ben and rabbit in great form, fine original pieces (Hodges' no doubt), and don't miss Lou levy's comping.

This material is on the second Hodges box on Mosaic, isn't it?  Or is this something else?

[jazzbo]

Yes, it's on the Mosaic set. The Solar back cover says "on a single cd for the first time ever." Very clever. Each session was on a different cd in the Mosaic set.

Oh, it's on Solar.

I'm torn between buying it to have the music on a nice CD set and knowing that it is on the Mosaic.  That's one of the things with Mosaics, the feeling that you should listen to the whole thing, vs just having a single cd that is sure to be very enjoyable as Larry says.  At < $11 I think I'll just bite on it, if they stole from the Mosaic mastering I'm sure the sound will be good. Not a dubious live recording.

I bought the Andrew Hill Select of all those unissued sessions and burnt them all onto single-session discs. Cost less and felt good, empowering, even.
