Loved listening to this, but it's interesting how much it sounds like Paul Whiteman until the swinging trumpet solo at the end! gregmo This one sounded a bit less Whitemanish. Thanks for posting these, Chewy! gregmo

Ditto. Listening to disc 2 now! gregmo

Thanks Chuck! gregmo

I didn't realize Henderson recorded anything for Edison. Are these sides available on cd somewhere? gregmo

In the mood for a bit of classic Mingus!

"Calling You" was the song from Baghdad Cafe. It was nominated for a Best Song oscar. gregmo

A bit of Curtis Fuller on this classic:

Mine started its lonely trip across the country yesterday. I'll get it eventually! gregmo

Yes, thanks for posting that. While I agree that Fuller's solo on "Blue Train" is fine, I think I'd rate Teagarden's second solo on the live version of St. James Infirmary (Town Hall Concert) as the best I ever heard. That said, I don't think I ever heard a record by Fuller I didn't enjoy, and I have most of them! (In fact, I'm listening to him right now with Blakey.) gregmo

That's a very good deal on the Shaw CBS set. gregmo

I'm listening to the Fuller Mosaic set right now, but T is always a great choice! gregmo

Me too. Disc 3. gregmo

A marvelous trombonist, and by all accounts, a lovely human being. RIP. gregmo

A bit of Rosolino I didn't know about. I've added this one to my list! gregmo

I mentioned this set to Scott in an email and he said "the Lee Morgan is not a definite." So that would seem to confirm the above. gregmo

Listening the last disc of this set now. Cool version of Satch singing and playing Brubeck's "The Duke." I have mixed emotions about the whole "Real Ambassadors" project, but it did feature some interesting pairings. gregmo

If I was as talented as some here, I might put up one titled "The Complete Recordings of Anyone Who Ever Played the C-Melody Saxophone." grego

That's a good question. It does seem to me like I remember reading *somewhere* from Michael that Mosaic had "completed" the pre-bop BNs with its releases, but my memory on that is far from sure. gregmo

Mosaic covered pretty much all the pre-bop BNs in its earlier days #103 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis (2 CDs or 3 LPs) #108 The Complete Recordings of The Port of Harlem Jazzmen (1 LP) #109 The Complete Edmond Hall/James P. Johnson/Sidney De Paris/Vic Dickenson Blue Note Sessions (4 CDs or 6 LPs) #110 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Sidney Bechet (4 CDs or 6 LPs) #114 The Complete Art Hodes Blue Note Sessions (4 CDs or 5 LPs) #115 The Benny Morton/Jimmy Hamilton Blue Note Swingtets (1 LP) #119 The Pete Johnson/Earl Hines/Teddy Bunn Blue Note Sessions (1 LP) #132 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of George Lewis (3 CDs or 5 LPs) There were also the Ike Quebec and John Hardee sets, but I don't know if those would classify as "pre-Bop" or not! gregmo

He didn't say, but my guess is that the fact the release date is that far out might indicate they're still searching. gregmo

I mentioned this set in an email to Scott, and he answered that they're hoping for a November/December release date. The cynic in me says that means some time in 2022. gregmo
