My set arrived today. Sound quality wise it’s extremely impressive and surpasses all of the other cds or LPs I have with some of these tracks. Also, Dave Weiner’s notes are excellent! I encourage anyone on the fence to go for it!

Well, Mosiac has starting shipping the V-Disc Big Band set. I received notification this afternoon! I really believe this going an incredible set!.

They should be shipping within the next 2 weeks.

The Byas is excellent indeed. But I wouldn't let this one pass forever. The Woody Herman V-Discs alone make this set invaluable. These are the best First Herd records with increadible Dave Tough. And, from what I hear the sound is better here than on the HEP set. The Basie's are also great and not readily available on CD. And, the Krupa Fish Market in good sound will be nice. Fun record! There are many other gems on this too....

The Ellington V-Discs are on the set below, which may be hard to find and it includes the excellent Deep South Suite. Ellington's band did not participate in any V-Disc recording sessions and that's why there are no Ellington V-Discs on this new Mosaic set. I believe the "In the Sjhade of the Old Apple Tree" is from a World Broadcast session and it's one of my favorite Ellington arrangements. The Jazzology label has a 5 cd series that includes everythning (lots of alternates) that Ellington recorded for World Broadcasting. https://www.amazon.com/V-Disc-Recordings-Duke-Ellington/dp/B00000IIT6/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1EB4B6YVZ1PFX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.s9LF8A-_jJJ_9CQVxB08-E0rtaquR9wJeN7PTaDShv_9967VSGJx734k-CYfVskMUeYT0TwqDCXS977BvcdDOe7fcXJc430Ovwb2T_9EV-hjpOgZpBylntijTntKvACg.Vc6qKV7PjmUYig-ftlH4d81LT5Dw6iv3c-A8ZNbl8Ss&dib_tag=se&keywords=Duke+ellington+v-disc&qid=1765978205&sprefix=duke+ellington+v-disc%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-4

You can search Internet Archives or Old Time Radio for the various treasury shows. I think there is not that much jazz. Your best bet for other jazz broadcasts is the Jubliee series. https://www.otrcat.com/p/jubilee

The jam session with Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, Teddy Wilson, Benny Goodman, Ben Heller, Sid Weiss, and Jo Jones is from the November 16, 1938 Martin Block’s Make Believe Ballroom broadcast. To me this is the Holy Grail of the Savory Collection. The tunes included, “Tea for Two,” “After You’ve Gone,” and “I Know that You Know.” The last one has been available in rather poor sound. In the attached program you can hear, at the beginning, part of Young’s “After You’ve Gone” solo and then within the program all of “Tea for Two” and “I Know that You Know” are included and in great sound. Hope spring eternal that one day these will see a wider release.

The Treasury Department had a number of different war bond radio shows, like Treasury Star, Music for Millions, and such.

Not a stupid question. I believe most V-Discs were 12 inches and provided up to 6 and half minutes of music. The Treasury Shows were transcribed radio programs to promote the purchase of U S war bonds during and after the war. The V-Disc program produced records for the military personnel. The V-Discs could be from previously recorded material, from broadcasts, or special produced record sessions often over seen by George T Simons. This new Mosaic set draws from the special V- Disc recording sessions, and many of the performances are longer than the standard 3 and half minute 78.

I do believe all the transfers on this V-Disc set will surpass previous reissues of the material. I have heard the sound amazing. I know that everything on the Mosaic Small Group V-Disc has better sound than reissues I already had.

Goodman did several sessions with the Big Band and small groups specifically for V-Disc. I heard that Mosaic is considering a seperate Goodman V-Disc set and not sure how large it would be and whether their would be other material included.

Look out for this week’s Mosaic Sunday Gazette!

I can only find a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/House-Blues-Bobby-Henderson-piano/dp/B00HV0JNUK The Lord discography matches the album. It’s strange that is wrong in the link.
