They sure ain't cheap! I had the Fats Navarro bio on my amazon wish list for a while before a more affordable copy finally showed up. gregmo

Needed an upper. Disc 2!

I've liked it so far Gheorghe. It's deeply researched, contrasts various accounts in tracing his life, and I like the fact that the musical analysis of each period is separated from the relevant biographical chapters. And, of course, one look at the photo on my profile will tell you what I think of Fats Navarro!! gregmo

Great stuff here--some really prime Fats! If memory serves much, if not all of it, is on the Mosaic Savoy Bop set. gregmo

Disc 5:

Welcome to the board, pglbook!! gregmo

Well, one of them will soon be on its way to me! gregmo

Me too. This was sudden, though, wasn't it?! No pre-order pleas, no upcoming. Just popped up! Thanks to Ghost for cluing us in! gregmo

I have an Edison Blue Amberol Cylinder of the Edison Concert Band, but that's just a decoration. My earliest listenable music is the ODJB on LP and cd. gregmo

I assume that until the lockdown ends, there will be no progress on much of anything. gregmo

Disc 3, with Clifford Brown

Tough one. I go back to the Teagarden Roulette a lot (and the Basie Roulettes too). Still like the Herman Philips Select, but really, I like all of 'em. gregmo

I loved him in that one too. Recently did some nice guest shots on The Blacklist. RIP. gregmo

Disc 1 of the complete set

Such sad news. By all accounts a very gentle man, and what a marvelously individual style he had! RIP gregmo

Frank Rosolino recorded with Ed Bickert in Toronto in the early/mid 70s, but I'm not sure they ever did a duet. Used bass and drums. Still some very nice music. gregmo

Disc 4:

Disc One. Some really fine Wallace Roney on this great set.

I think Universal owns the Capitol stuff, doesn't it? I didn't think it was part Sony's holdings, but Lord knows, I can't always keep track of who owns what! If so, a 7-8-cd set would certainly be within Mosaic's usual limits. Many of the Riverside albums have been issued on cut-rate labels like Enlightenment. gregmo

Me too!!! gregmo

How many cds would it take to do a complete Cannonball Capitol album? Always seemed to me like that kind of Mosaic set would actually sell. gregmo
