Go See it!!!! It was fabulous!!!!! I went to the 11am matinee which was half full and everyone was clapping at the end! It was great! :excited: :excited:

This is her first record without her old trio... It's a quartet record with Randy Brecker on trumpet, George Mraz on bass and Anthony Pinciotti on drums.. Overall it was good... not great... I have always liked her stuff... I think I figured out my issue.... She always plays with a little restraint....Most of the tunes she plays(and composes) or have a medium tempo (not fast, not slow) or are ballads... Don't get me wrong... I've seen her perform 2 or 3 times and I have all of her recordings... and overall I do think she's a very good piano player and an excellent composer... It's just that I've never seen her (or heard her) play in a very fast or unrestrained manner.... The new record is a CD with a live DVD performance along with some interviews from the band....

I just got this today.. and I'm watching the DVD studio performance.. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet... I think I like it but.... :unsure:

I've got them on speed dial on my cell... :unsure:

years ago I managed to get all the Lee Morgan stuff on two Vee-Jay Discs (Expoobident and Here's Lee Morgan)... published by Blue Moon 1997... as I'm not a big Wayne Shorter fan... I skipped this Mosaic...

thanks Swede... Just put in a pre-order in for the Oscar Peterson... No. Oscar Peterson Plays The Jerome Kern Song Book was recorded in 1959. You are thinking of Oscar Peterson Plays Jerome Kern which was recorded in 1952-53. However, be advised that even this album isn't complete on the Mosaic set. They left out one track because it has Herb Ellis on guitar instead of Barney Kessel. Similarly the Richard Rodgers and Vincent Youmans albums are incomplete for the same reason. I think this was a bad decision on Mosaic's part. Completing the December 1953 trio output would have made those three albums complete, and those few extra tracks might very well have fitted on the same number of CDs. Now, if Mosaic is planning a second box covering the Herb Ellis recordings the situation will be remedied eventually, but if not, I think it is unfortunate that those albums are left incomplete when just a few extra tracks could have completed them. The complete 1951-54 "songbooks" (not part of the album titles) have however been reissued on CD on an Avid set, so one can get the missing material there, but it will be remastered from LPs then instead.

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:
