That's what they say, but I don't believe it. The LP's sound fine.

I had the Mosaic set - it was definitely stereo. As pronounced as the original LP's? Probably not. I got rid of it because the sound was surprisingly inferior, with unacceptable distortion in places, and I already had all of the music elsewhere. One of Mosaic's poorer efforts.

Nobody has mentioned my favorite version yet - Dizzy Gillespie's 1946 recording on RCA Victor. The blistering trumpet solo floored me way back when I was a 15-year-old budding young jazz fan, and still does!

The bandleader is the guitar player. He was 72 then . Now he's dead. Oh, now I know. It's Bill DeArango! I'd always heard that this record sucks, now I know.

BFT #40, Disc 2 1. My first reaction was Andrew Hill, something off one of his recent recordings. The keyboard synth threw me off a little. Nice alto, nice trumpet. Greg Tardy, Charles Tolliver? There’s no piano solo, so maybe it ain’t Andrew. 2. I hate these lightning fast bebop things. I’m sorry, the alto player is just running up and down the horn, saying nothing. Don’t get me wrong – I love bebop, but too many younger players just don’t get it. No stars. 3. This I LOVED – very pretty and atmospheric. I’d really like to know who this is. 4. A vintage late 40’s/early 50’s piano trio. Nothing special here. 5. “OK, boys, now that you’re warmed up and you’ve established that all your keys work, it’s time to play some music.” 6. OK, I get the joke. It just isn’t very funny. Snoooozzz… 7. This rambles on for about three minutes, goes nowhere. 8. They establish a mood – not terribly compelling – and then shatter it with that screech at the end. Next! 9. Eric Kloss with Don Patterson? 10. Reminiscent of Sonny Rollins. 11. Pleasant enough, no ideas who this is. 12. Starts out with Monk-ish piano. When the band comes in, they’re on a totally different page. I think this is a South African group. Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim? Eventually the alto starts to make a racket. 13. I liked this. The bass & drums intro, then the tenor. Very nice! 14. I liked this, too. A nice feel throughout. Good soloists. This tenor recalls Sonny at times. 15. A catchy tune, I can live without the tenor player. Fewer “hits” on this disc for me, but I still appreciate the effort.
