  1. Okay just finished Disc 1... My attention got better...!! I like this set... (The drum snare thing kinda bugged me a little bit) Okay onto Disc 2... I think I like it... but I must be honest I'm kinda distracted.... Tony Williams Disc 3.... Didn't have any of these records... looking forward to it.. Big fan of Bill Pierce (local homie) and Mulgrew.... although I could do without Wallace Roney,,,
  2. Finishing up Disc 1.. reverse order...Disc 2 didn't thrill me... but the 1st disc is good.. Overall I'm not sure... Ironically I thought the Xmas music was the best part of the set...
  3. The background vocals on the 1st half of Disc 3 are killing me... I hate that stuff. (Same reason why I trashed the Dinah Washington set)... Now it's onto the Xmas part of Disc 3.. so far I'm liking this part....
  4. Just started the controversial Duke Pearson Select - Disc 3.... This is nasty.... I hope it gets MUCH better - FAST! Otherwise this puppy might be on it's way back to Stamford Ct.....
  5. As I grade final exams... it's a Mosaic weekend... Onto Curtis Amy Select disc 3... It's funny when I first bought this set... I hated it... (Only gave it one listen and thought it had WAY too much organ...) I then gave it away.... After hearing some more raves on this board.. I decided my premature jettisoning of the set was wrong... Right now I'm digging it... So to all of you who plugged this set.... Thanks!
  6. Okay - Overall I give it a moderate thumbs up... I Discs 1 and 2 much better than three... Just started Disc 3.... coming down in my enthusiam a tiny bit....
  7. Andrew Hill Solo Select - Disc 1... We'll see... Onto Disc 2 and I'm liking it a lot...
  8. Just finished listening to the Lee Wiley Single.... Didn't really work for me.. I didn't have any of her stuff and thought this was a good intro... I swear... Mosaic hit it big with the Anita O'Day set but IMHO every other vocal set
  9. Congrats on the set! It really is a good one...
  10. Please do and let us know what they say.... Me too, even though I have almost all on LP. Anyone heard when it is actually shipping? I am probably going to drop them a quick note if no one else has any news.
  11. Either not many of us have not purchased this set yet or are backed up in Mosaic queue but the lack of enthusiasm for this set is a little unnerving.... What gives?
  12. I'm eager to listen to this.. (Been way backed up and too far too busy.... ) but I don't think I've seen ONE single comment on this set?? What's the scoop? And why the silence????
  13. Buddy Rich Disc 4... I know some of this board this is the equivalent of giving Wynton a Mosaic set.. but I like this set!!!
  14. Well in that case... Paul Desmond & Jim Hall....
  15. I thought he meant this one... http://mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=199-MD-CD Its oop...
  16. I've always wondered about this set... No ONE talks about this... Convince me I should get this when it hits running low.... -_- -_- -_- -_- -_-
  17. Anita - Disc 9... a belated tribute.. Damn she was good on this set!!! Personally I think is by far the best vocal set Mosaic has come out with... Those of you who didn't cough up the cash before it went OOP -
  18. Sidney Bechet - Disc 2.. . the good news... Some GREAT blowing!!! The bad news.. WAY too many alternate takes... 12 of the 19 tunes are alternate takes...
  19. Don't know ... I don't have the LPs... I've got the two volume "Jazz classics" album (BLP1201 & 2). Is the material that isn't on those LPs as good? MG
  20. Sidney Bechet Select - Disc 1-3... No one talks about this one.. but I like it so far...
  21. Got through Of Course, Of Course yesterday.. EXC!!!!!!!
  22. thoroughlly enjoying Stitt Disc 7... and soon Disc 8....
  23. Bud Shank & Bob Cooper Disc 3... I don't care what you guys say I love this set.... Highly underrated....
