When I saw him with McCoy a few times.. he didn't play that much and was excessively amused at himself... (and McCoy gave him too much space for bad solos...) I think Al plays great on this set- his solo on Footprints (for one) is excellent IMHO, and he plays over the form of the tune, which I always appreciate on drum solos. Over the years I've enjoyed his playing in a variety on contexts. What about him don't you like? (just curious)

I'm looking forward to getting this set.. but I can't stand Al Foster... Way OVERRATED....

okay I'm back... And even though I've got a lot of Oscar... I had to get this one... and I love Toshiko...

I don't understand why the didn't do another downloadable podcast for this release... I thought it was a great addition to the website....

Uh oh.... I thought at 17 - they were just sneaking out of the house instead of waking u up? :wacko: Having had two (and trust me, it doesn't stop at 3 years old, my 17 year old thinks nothing of waking me up for no reason other than "Hey Dad!) ), you have my fullest and deepest sympathy.

I'd pay for some sleep... You obviously don't have a restless 3 year old... Buks speek. My freshman year in college, I had a buddy from SF, a really fine pianist, who was really into Zeitlin. So I was always borrowing his Zeitlin Columbia sides to see if I could get into it myself. The problem was, and I kid you not on this, was that I would always, and I do mean always, fall asleep halfway through a side. Didn't matter which album or which side, about halfway through the 2nd tune, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Finally, after about 6 months of this, I gave up, took my buddy at his word, and let it go at that. So gee, I'd like to get this and check it out again, but I dunno if it makes sense to pay for sleep, especially at this point of my life.

okay... I admit it.... I'm thoroughly... pro-Obama... so when it's all said and done... which Mosaic will most accurately reflect my mood??? :unsure: :unsure:

Wow... I guess I'm right... Everyone seems pretty lukewarm about this one... Why???? :huh: :huh:

Finishing up Dizzy Disc 7 .. Is it my imagination or has there been very little discussion of this set????? :unsure: In any case... I've thoroughly enjoyed this set... except for the 2nd half of Disc 6.... The vocalese album did not sit very well with me.....

One of my top 5 Mosaics!!! :excited:

Dizzy - Disc 3... I'm quite enjoying this, particularly Dizzy's vocals....

this is a good one! :tup :tup

In the car finished Quincy Disc 5.... The Live sections are MUCH better than the studio stuff... overall I'm disappointed... <_< Started Dizzy set Disc 1....and as I expected :excited: :excited: :excited: Is there anyone left on this board who hasn't gotten the Dizzy set??? :huh:

negative... Guess you're not a big Nelson fan, Chuck? Oh dear - what don't you specifically like about this one? (which is on my long-range list). Not sure if this is a positive or negative.

Many of the arrangements are quite predictable and unimaginative... I listen to this and all I can hear in my head is ... "this is NOT Oliver Nelson." <_< Oh dear - what don't you specifically like about this one? (which is on my long-range list).

Quincy Jones set... Disc 3.. I know some on this board warned me... I'm finding it is a bit of a disappointment.... Some who are on the fence about this one... might want to wait...

Farlow... outstanding...!!! Smith... good ... Didn't get Pass... but he just does not work for me....

I REALLY like these!! It's the only thing I like about the new website... but it's a GREAT addition... Very helpful

Hate it... Too much verbage... Just plain old ugly....

Haven't opened it yet.. but I think I'm glad I have it.... :cool:

Max Roach Disc 7.... Outstanding :

thanks.... I assume everyone who wanted it got a copy??? right!!! <_< A couple months ago.

anybody got an answer to this???? :unsure:

Remind me... when did this go OOP??? I'm thrilled I've got it... though

the newly briefly resurrected Woody Herman... pretty good... a tad uneven.... but overall :
