    James P. Johnson, disc one. Started with the later things. Now I'm going back into the mists of acoustic!

    Now that one, I would *definitely* go see! gregmo

    The trailer sure doesn't enhance my optimism, but I like Cheadle, so I'll probably go see it. And probably regret it. Hated, hated, *hated* "Whiplash" even though I admired J. K. Simmons's performance. gregmo

    I've been at Mosaic about the Johnny Hodges 60s Verve stuff forever. Lot of great treasures there. gregmo

    No recommendation! And I'm not necessarily buying that verdict. I was just curious if anyone here had listened to it yet. gregmo

    I'd definitely second that one. gregmo

    An Amazon reviewer really hated the sound on Getz/Gilberto 76. Anyone else have it to confirm/counter that opinion? gregmo

    Definitely the butt-ugliest speakers I have *ever* seen. Scott's description was perfect. gregmo

    Wish they'd do a box of all the Brubeck live stuff that Columbia has put out/has access to. Would make a very nice complement to the Studio box. gregmo

    For me, Rickman in any movie meant there would always be someone really interesting to watch. And to listen to. He had a wonderful, wonderful voice. Very saddened at this loss. gregmo

    I like this one, but with that money, I could buy all the vaults of all the labels, put them together, buy Mosaic, expand it, and issue cds of every type we've been lusting for on the Board for years! gregmo

    I always thought his duet with Bing Crosby, of all people, was one of the oddest, yet sweetest ones I've ever seen, and sort of appropriate I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADbJLo4x-tk gregmo

    Seemed like I saw a fairly sour review somewhere of the Holiday "Banned from New York" disc. I haven't gotten it yet. How's the sound? gregmo

    Another great bassist! gregmo

    Interesting stat. Great, great bassist and all-round artist! I assume Ray Brown must have held the record before Mr. Carter?? gregmo

    Yeah, that's been a problem with a number of Mosaics over the years. I've had issues with a couple of discs in this set as well. gregmo

    I didn't realize she was 65. I suppose I always thought of her as the "young" daughter of her father, but he's been gone now for 50 years! I liked her singing very much. RIP. gregmo

    I looked for the Ray Noble Victor recordings (with Bowlly) on cd for some time. Best I could find finally was a 2-cd set on Take Two Records called "Love is the Sweetest Thing." Bowlly did have a very sweet voice, very individual. I always liked him. gregmo

    Years ago, Mosaic sold (or gave away?!) a cool little gadget for opening jewel cases. Has a tiny blade. Just slide it along one side, and the plastic comes off. Wouldn't lose that little treasure for nuttin'! gregmo

    Haven't gotten that Mosaic set out in a while. I'll give a couple of discs a spin! gregmo

    Thanks for suggesting that one. I enjoyed it! gregmo

    In Oregon, yes, in Portland, no--moved to the city from Eastern Oregon in 2012. But hey, if one can't take the rain, this ain't the city to live in, right? That said, it really HAS been wet!! gregmo

    A might bit damp here in Portland, Oregon. I'm growing webbing between my fingers....... gregmo
