From the impossibles: Bix, Django, Bird. Dizzy Gillespie played in my hometown. I remember the posters. But this was before I was into jazz.

At the moment Louis in New York disc 1 The sound is great.

863 out of 965 It's tempting. But i still miss 102. Do I want 17 Cd's by Erroll Garner? I'm not sure.

I have 89%

TYQ announced the arrival of the Armstrong set. They start dispatching and think the will need till Monday evening to do so.

There is the Mosaic 6 LP version of the Complete Illinois Jacquet 1945-1950. It is one of the rare sets where different label are included.

When the first batch of Classics was issued I was in Paris. I had already spent my money on a number of Jazz Time Cd's. So I could not immediately buy them. In the course of the year I usually bought a minimum of 3 a month. In total I have 863 out of 970 from the jazz series issues plus the sampler and the complementary 3 CD set. I'm not into R&B in did not buy those. The ones I didn't buy are the more R&B oriented or those by artists that don't interest me like Errol Garner. I stopped with Django when the Frémeaux series started. If you can get hold of the catalog with the first 500 get it. It has complete track listings for each CD. It's a pity they stopped. I would have loved to hear all those mostly white swing bands at least up to the recordban. There a a lot of vocals I don't care for but I would love the judge for my self. The chance hearing Woody Herman 1941-1942, Tommy Dorsey 1939-1942, Jimmy Dorsey at all will probably be impossible. Unless Mosaic boxes them in 2043 when they are in the public domain

Buck Clayton All Stars Copenhagen Concert on Steeplechase. Nice mainsteam jazz. One tune is called Night Train by Forrest. But to me it sounds like Happy Go Lucky Local by Ellington.

This is one of my most favorite Mosaics. From solo guitar to Paul Whiteman. Singers from Bessie Smith to Bing Crosby.
