Benny Goodman Disc 7.... :tup

I don't like organ too.. but this set seems far too intriguing to me to pass up... I'll be listening to it over Thanksgiving weekend so I'll let you know if it bugs me... Can anyone answer this question yet? Why don't you ask Mosaic? I did a while ago, but Scott Wenzel couldn't give me an answer and Michael Cuscuna wasn't available. I just sent them another e-mail, but in the meantime maybe someone here could answer my question, I'd appreciate it. Just got a reply from Scott. He doesn't know exactly, but he thinks there are less than 10 tracks with celeste and maybe half of the set is with organ. No set for me, I'm afraid The big deal for me is that I don't like neither organ nor celeste.

what's the big deal about an organ??? :unsure: Can anyone answer this question yet? Why don't you ask Mosaic?

Moved on to Count Basie 50's studio sessions Disc 3... Which I'm enjoying quite a bit no tap dancing here...

Mine is in the back of the booklet instead of on the inside cover.... Number 248..... :rolleyes:

Benny Goodman Disc 2... I could do without the tap dancing.... :tdown :tdown

Bing just arrived on my doorstep... And he will be singing to me shortly...

Finally up to Disc 6.. Overall... okay not great... Very uneven... :angry: I didn't expect as many vocals....

Onto Disc 3... A little more what I expected... Woody Herman Capitol Recordings... Disc 2... So far... :mellow: Could be that I'm just sick.... :angry:

I thought the packaging (and music) was great.. I didn't have any problems with the CD's... Ella's goofing around on about 3 or 4 songs but otherwise I highly recommend it...! Yes it's from the same gig but there's no duplication between the individual CD and the new boxed set....

do we know of a US distributor?

out on storyville... http://www.storyvillerecords.com/default.a...mp;state_2838=2 I have yet to find a stateside distributor... What do the masses think??? :unsure:

Disc 1 Complete HRS Sessions...

Disc 2 of 4.... :excited: Even though I haven't finished this set... I'm highly recommending it.. Ella in a quartet live.. still in her prime...

No F***king way... What's the Clifford and Cole about? Where'd you get the info? Previously unreleased material???? :excited: :excited: The packaging impressed me quite a bit as well. On the downside, the set is sized like a book and will have to be stored with the hardcovers instead of the cd boxed sets. Upcoming sets from Hip-o-Select: Clifford Brown Nat King Cole "Tribute to Thelonious"

Disc 1 of 4 - Ella Twelve Nights in Hollywood... :wub: I LOVE the packaging!!! Music is pretty damn good too...

But the strike was over 3 days ago..... :rolleyes: :unsure:

got my copy a few weeks ago.. but its in the listening queue..... another thanks to Ron!!!

I've been thinking about that Chu Berry set... :unsure: I know I've said this before but my one hesitation is that the sound samples on the website appear very quiet to me... For those of you who have the set... How does the sound compare to other/the best sounding Mosaics??? (As a comparison point to me - One of the best sounding Mosaics is the Tal Farlow set..?

Disc 2 - The Debut Records Story

not her best.. Her first few CD's are the best... Sorry to say it but when Tommy LiPuma got a hold of her... they tried to make her into a diva.. She sounds fine but lost her essence when that happened IMHO!!!

You lucky dog!! :crazy: I ordered all 3 and have to wait 2 more weeks!!!! How's the packaging??

Billie singing I Cover the Waterfront from The Complete JATP Disc 7... There was truly ONLY ONE Billie...!!!

Digital Version of my boy @ the Village Vanguard - Disc 2

New record... Highly recommended...!!! Roy does a little singing, A few tracks from Roberta Gambarini... I like Roy in general... ( minus the RH Factor stuff...) but this is a very nice surprising CD... :excited: Guess great minds think alike.... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/24/arts/mus...i-002.html?_r=2
