  1. Am I mistaken or has no one mentioned Cannonball yet? Especially later Cannonball, when the Bird influence becomes less dominant.

    James Spaulding (though maybe too "out" for some tastes)

    Art Pepper, especially 70s Art. But then there's INTENSITY...

    Jesse Davis

    Ed Jackson (the same Ed Jackson who played with Tom Varner)

  2. I like the Griffin-Monk Five Spot dates just fine, but, yes, Griffin can sound a little more superficial than some of of other horns players that worked with Monk on the regular.

    I wish there were more recorded evidence of Julius Watkins playing with Monk. And I wish there were more Ray Copeland to hear, period.

     

     

  3. Jane Ira Bloom was on Columbia for a hot minute there in the late 80s. She also recorded for Enja, JMT / Winter & Winter, and Arabesque. I believe Outline is her own label.

    Myra Melford: Hat, Arabesque, Palmetto, Firehouse12, others.

    In fact, Firehouse12 has featured quite a few women musicians: Melford, Mary Halvorsen, Ingrid Laubrock, Nicole Mitchell.

    Annette Peacock, Marilyn Crispell, and Sylvie Courvoisier have all recorded leader dates for ECM.

    Mosaic just ain't it anymore. This forum is probably the only internet corner where they're discussed on a regular basis in a serious way. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for box set needs/wants at this point. Griping about underrepresentation of female artists is just beating a dead horse. They're still a going concern but the entity was sold and the new ownership is going to be more bottom line focused. Their absence from any 21st century marketing efforts and platforms like bandcamp where they could offer digital download options just confirms their days are likely numbered. 

    I'm picking up what you're laying down... to an extent. I mean, look what New World Records did for Julius Hemphill. 

    As much as I like the music on the Tristano set, I have to say the accompanying notes were just OK. I do have to acknowledge that the standard for me was set by Roswell Rudd's notes for the Herbie Nichols box — a high bar. Still, the booklet is one of the reasons to purchase a Mosaic box.
