    "Hear Me Talkin to Ya" was one of the first jazz books I ever read, and I've enjoyed many a liner over the years. RIP. gregmo

    Sorry, Dmitry, was that query meant for me? I have all of Sarah's Emarcy stuff on the Complete Mercury Recordings box sets. Can't get enough Sassy! gregmo

    I'm going to disagree with this one--not about "Swingin' Easy," which is a fine album, but about the last comment. Even though it deepened over the years, I always thought that Sassy's voice stayed remarkably pure and beautiful all the way up to the end. Indeed, amazingly so. Sinatra and Ella both deteriorated noticeably as they aged, but Sarah Vaughan seemed immune to me. gregmo

    As "Bloom County" noted after Prince's death, it's been a rough year for the 80s. I liked the tunes and his brash attitude toward life. gregmo

    Just got my copy of 22. Looking forward to listening to it! gregmo

    Far better just to have them on cd in the first place. Harumph, harumph. gregmo

    Interesting article--thanks for posting it. I think the author could be a bit clearer that the Parker Savoy sides are not in this set. Always nice, though, for a major publication to give Mosaic a boost! gregmo

    The sound does vary from take to take, but I think that's a function of the source. It generally sounds quite fine to me--much like the Dial, which I also liked. gregmo

    Thanks for the quick reply Jim. The things I learn on this forum! gregmo

    Whoa. Now THAT'S one I've never heard of before! Do you actually have it? How IS it? "Enquiring" minds want to know! gregmo

    I think this one definitely belongs on the list. The oddest album Basie ever made.

    I don't find it. Could you post a link? gregmo

    I have most of this material, so I don't know if it will be worth it for me. gregmo

    Enjoying disc 2--some fine Rosolino. Chris Connor too.

    The Hollywood All-Stars session with Art Pepper was very fine. gregmo

    You guys are just not sufficiently obsessive-compulsive. Not only do I have my collection arranged alphabetically by artist, I even have it arranged chronologically *within* each artist's sets. Yes, I do need counseling. No, I'm not going to get it. I can't afford it. I keep buying these damned Mosaic sets........... gregmo

    I might prefer an Atlantic box. Collectors Choice has issued some of that material. Has all of it been available on cd? gregmo
  23. gmonahan
    It's a nice set, very well produced. That said, I'd rate it as something primarily for Sinatra completists, which I am. gregmo

    Getting ready for the Mosaic Savoy set!

    Got my shipping notice as well. Soon I will face one of those really important questions. Do I shelve it under "S" for Savoy or "B" for Bebop? It is one of those profound issues that must give us pause...... gregmo
