Bienvenido, Pepico Jazz. Benvingut!

Currently listening to some of these recordings by the London Haydn Quartet.

R.I.P. to a very significant contributor.

Mike, I listened to it through streaming services. I haven´t been able to find a physical CD for sale.

Marc Myers' review in Jazz Wax. I do not concur with this particular paragraph (bold letters), but not agreeing with Myers happens quite frequently... "The newly released box is technically a sister set to Mosaic’s Classic V-Disc Small Group Jazz Sessions released in 2024. But there’s no comparison (sorry, sister). For me, the small-group V-Disc box was loaded down with flat, uninteresting and quirky recordings. By contrast, the big-band box is an astonishing and superbly edited collection of 218 tracks free from novelty material and packed with thoroughly exciting material, thanks to producer Scott Wenzel. What’s job Scott has done. Even bands you’re familiar with will impress you with some songs they never wound up recording for their record labels once the bans (there was a second one in 1948) lifted."

Two favourites:
