    Bobby/Billy/Brasil for the fourth time today, Getz/Gilberto calls, Dixieland answers... it's just enjoyable music, those Bossa backgrounds couldn't hurt a fly and I can easily listen to Hackett and Butterfield duetting all day 

    Two of my favorites together!  I have never heard (or heard of) this.

    Herbie Hancock, although it was never widely publicized or properly credited. He is the ghost organist on Herbie Mann's Stone Flute album.

    Herbie plays organ (for a very short bit) on Right Off from Miles' Tribute to Jack Johnson.

  12. Don Byas beyond the Mosaic set

    Examining the list of recordings excluded from the set due to licensing, I was entirely unfamiliar with the Don Byas/Tyree Glenn recordings from Paris 1946-1947.  I realize that only the first session was a possibility on the set owing to the time parameters, but I am finding these sessions to be pretty worthwhile.

    Hope has fascinated me from the first time I heard him play on Informal Jazz, which I now think of as his least interesting record . This solo outing is amazing really highlighting every aspect of his playing: he does some bop, a little stride, a hint of classical music here and there. A lovely 40 minute journey :) Elmo deserves a Mosaic!

    I've been going to this record regularly in the last couple of months-owing to my failure to appreciate it earlier.

    I will also definitely be getting this set. I used to grab anything that had Byas on it. Anyone care to speculate what a Byas as sideman from before 1944 would look like as far as the number of discs ? 
     

    Timme Rosenkrantz/Andy Kirk/Count Basie/Lips Page, Joe Turner, Pete Johnson/Minton's (with Charlie Christian)

    His Basie involvement would account for the majority-of course if you eliminate the one's he doesn't solo on, the number of discs becomes pretty manageable.

    Pre-ordered without delay-I love the Mosaic multilabel tenor sax giant sets:  Illinois Jacquet, Chu Berry, Coleman Hawkins, and Lester Young.  

    I was a bit disappointed to read this:

    The following Don Byas sessions of 1944-46 are not included in this set as they are under ownership of various parent labels:
    Albert Ammons and his Rhythm Kings (Commodore – February 12, 1944)
    Coleman Hawkins and his Orchestra (Apollo – February 16 and 22, 1944)
    Eddie Heywood and his Orchestra (Signature – May 2, 1944)
    Coleman Hawkins and his Sax Ensemble (Keynote – May 24, 1944)
    Mary Lou Williams and her Orchestra (Asch – June 5, 1944)
    “Hot Lips” Page and his Orchestra (Commodore – September 29, 1944)
    Trummy Young and his Orchestra (Signature – December 4, 1944)
    Cozy Cole’s Orchestra (Keynote – February 2, 1945)
    Esquire All American 1946 Award Winners (RCA Victor–January 10 & 11, 1946)
    Dizzy Gillespie and his Orchestra (RCA Victor – February 22, 1946)
    Teddy Wilson Octet (Musicraft – August 19, 1946)
    Tyree Glenn and his Orchestra/Don Byas and his Orchestra/Peanuts Holland and his Orchestra (Swing – December 4, 1946)
