mccoy, bobby hutcherson and Toshiko.... that should last you for a while....

oops...my bad :wacko: Hey! I said Berry in post #47. I like it.

One VERY interesting omission to-date.... (I think).... is the Chu Berry... Who purchased that??? Not that hot???

okay... now you've really got me thinking... I'm suspecting the answer to this is no... but is there any duplication between the Mosaic set and the Verve 5CD set with OP and Lionel Hampton (the complete quartets and quintets)??? And does anyone have that set?? is it worth me grabbing it before that one goes OOP??? thanks

Now you guys got me going... I don't have the London House sessions box but had to put on the The Trio.... I'm going to break out the new box after the semester ends!! One more week :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

26 of 69 tracks are alternate tracks 37.7% Ah, a very important comment from my point of view. What kind of percentage of alternative takes is there in the set? MG

glad u're liking it Ron..... this one lost me due to the number of alternate takes....

as I've got no Handy I think I'm going to grab this one... and maybe the Live at Yoshi's 2CD Good choices????

digital Dizzy disc 5...

I've got it but haven't gotten to it yet...

I'm finding this VERY interesting..... :cool: I'm surprised that the following has not popped up yet... 1) JJ Johnson Columbia Small Group 2) Complete Mercury Max Roach 3) Verve/Phillips Dizzy set.. Hm... :huh: :huh:

Moved onto the digital Johnny Smith Roost Disc 6....

Digital Version of Turrentine set... Disc 4...

Part of my attraction is I really dig her voice in this set... Just kinda subtle, raw sexy..... I'm probably going to cave and get the Goodman despite the alternate tracks...

okay... my last post got me thinking..... :unsure: Of those Mosaics you possess.... what are your three favorites??? (Doesn't have to be in order of preference..) I'd have to go... 1) Elvin Jones Blue Note Sessions 2) Anita O'Day * 3) Two way tie... :blink: Stanley Turrentine & Tal Farlow... ** With one caveat... I have the Oscar Peterson but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet... and I suspect it might jump on this list... How's that for a top 3... maybe 5?

I know there are board members who disagree with me... but this set is in my top 3 mosiacs.... :excited: I listened to some of that the other day, too.

Really??? Do we have an ETA on ther other Akiyoshi set? and what specific titles??? :excited: With regard to #4, Mosaic has plans for yet another Akiyoshi/Tabackin Select which includes "Road Time" and other live recordings by that band.

okay since I apparently killed this thread... :unsure: I'm still a little torn over this set... It does seem to be an unusually high number of alt. takes.... Am I wrong about that? Did anyone buy/receive/listen to this set? thanks

hmm.... some of my mistakes.... dinah washington set, chico hamilton come quickly to mind

I was curious about the prevalence of alternate takes... so I counted.. Out of 177 songs on the 7 cds there are 66 alternate takes.... or 37.2% of all the songs :wacko: :wacko: They would have had to do one and a half CD's just for the alternate takes... This seems like a LOT even by Mosaic standards... As I'm one who doesn't like a lot of alt takes... :beee: :beee: I think I might be passing on this one... I might take your advice and do the small groups Victor set... (even though that also has a lot of alt takes - just not 66!) thanks

Good point Chuck.. But my thinking is this.. 1) Goodman's volume of output is pretty large (thus making it difficult to determine which are "Must-haves") 2) Given the massive number of reissues/bastardization/compilations/imports/etc., it is difficult to determine which Goodman releases are legit and which are fraudulent. 3) Given his historical place in the music, I figured a large sample - would provide a good assessment of his contributions and finally 4) I trust Mosaic... What do you think? :unsure:

Don't have very much Goodman... I assume this would be a good (if not great) sample??? Opinions???

Have you listened to it, yet?? How's the sound quality?

After that I had to go back and listen to Disc 7... I have to say this is a lot better than I remember.... :excited:

Jazz Crusaders Disc 4... I was surprisingly disappointed on the 1st spin.... Time to give it another shot.... Much better the 2nd time around....
