I'm assuming the Peterson is the same material as on the Mosaic set, right??? And what's the scoop with the Grover and Crusaders records?? Any good?

Just finished listening to Master of the Art in the car.... A great seat! The interview is actually pretty good... I wish it was a bit longer... Just ordered the other one!

that's NOT a little task.... :o

Went back to the full set... Disc 1.. The full Mosaic box is IMHO much better than the Select...

In Memory of... The Pacific Jazz Bud Shank Studio Sessions 1956-61 Disc 5... RIP http://jazztimes.com/articles/24533-bud-sh...nist-dies-at-82 :( Now Mosaic Select #10 - Disc 3

The One and Only Miss Anita O'Day - Disc 9... :excited: I don't care if I'm alone on this one.. but still reminds of what Glenn Close might sound like as a jazz singer... :wub: now Disc 5

there's also an excellent consistency to this set... With 80% of my Mosaics (esp. sets with 6 or more discs) I tend to feel like they could've left some stuff in the can... But this whole package is outstanding...!

Johnny Smith - Disc 2

Tal Farlow Disc 4.....

This is REALLY A GREAT Set!! :party: If you're on the fence... please get off and grab this one... None of this stuff has been available on CD in the US before...

Bobby Hutcherson Select - Disc 1 it's so good... had to listen to Discs 2 and 3!

SF Jazz Collective 2008 Annual Concert Tour Discs 1-3....

My set arrived last week... It's numbered # 1070! Clearly this one is selling well... :excited:

I have no idea who this is..... :huh:

I'm totally with you about the Konitz... I still have the hope that Mosaic will take it over... :rolleyes:

Just finished listening to the Milt Jackson Live at the Museum of Modern Art... which came out recently... Really NICE!!!!!!!

I heard the Soul-Finger cut years ago on the radio... and loved it! ('Course it never hurts to reference a Sean Connery - James Bond)

found this off on Tower.com.... Out on or about 4/14/09 1. Soul Finger (CD) - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers (Artist) 2. Dizzy On The French Riviera (CD) - Dizzy Gillespie (Artist) (This set is also on the Mosaic set... ) 3. Ella In Hollywood (CD) - Ella Fitzgerald (Artist) 4.The Artistry Of Freddie Hubbard (CD) - Freddie Hubbard (Artist) 5. - 10. Several 'Trane albums - Ascension (CD) , Kulu Se Mama (CD), The John Coltrane Quartet Plays (CD), A New Thing At Newport (CD) Archie Shepp (Artist) and John Coltrane (Artist) & Meditations (CD) I'm getting the Blakey, Hubbard and Ella... :rolleyes:

Complete Blue Note Elvin Jones Sessions disc 2.... :party: Still may fave Mosaic

I gather that means you like it.... Do tell.....

Buddy Rich Disc 1.. It seems like I'm the only one on the board who bought this and routinely plays it.... :o and onto Disc 2.....

Now that's a helpful post... I'm glad you're enjoying the Goodman... I see that Sony Legacy is releasing a "100th Anniversary boxed set" for Goodman next month... Once I see what's in that one... I might have to do that one too..... I just really have VERY little Goodman and feel a need to get to know him better....

The Complete Lester Young Verve Studio Sessions Disc 5 (Digital version)...... trying to help me decide if I want the Mosaic box.... :unsure:

I'm finding it affirming that I'm not alone in my feelings about Armstrong.... I'm not surprised Brubeck is up there in 2nd place....

An older VERRRYYY enthusiastic review of this set.... over at AAJ.... I'll post the link and a segment below... http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=26483 "......For me, this box is a blessing in so many ways. If you love swing, the set is like owning a Rolex or a fine piece of furniture. The craftsmanship is subtle and unmistakable, and you instantly know you're in the presence of unparalleled greatness. In addition, this box is one of those rare instances where I actually welcomed hearing alternate takes. Even during the 1950s recordings, my foot was snapping unconsciously against the base of my swivel chair. You can't help it. Unless something else comes along in the next four weeks, this is the box set of the year, hands down...." :excited: Sorry guys... but this review is pushing me over the edge toward the Goodman ... I'm still not budging on the Armstrong.... :beee:
