Those CD twofers from some years back ('Soul of Ben Webster' and 'Music For loving') were jam packed full of great music. Excellent value too, I recall.
Gerald Wilson. Starting on CD1 I'll try to cover most of the set this weekend to get in the mood for his forthcoming London gig next month. Can't wait !
Beyond unbelievable...
Well at least the sets are on their way at a (still) great price..
Amazon UK are still charging £80 or so for the Basie. Has the penny not dropped over here in this overpriced island yet?
I hope they pull through this. I've ordered stuff for export to the UK and Rick was always very helpful. Would hate to see them go.
With this and Mole Jazz in the same month, it's a real downer..
I thought that this current edition was quite pricey at £100 but the 'collectors edition' is through the roof ! Seem to recall that my 'Jazz Seen' (signed by Mr Claxton) was about $30
True ! I think they have listed in the past the Dean Benedetti Parker ( ) and given it 4 stars ( ) and there's also a short para on who Mosaic are in the intro section. Doesn't Brian Morton also review CDs for the 'Jazz Review' though?
Yes, 'From the Hot Afternoon' is a very good stress reliever.
Anything on Blue Note by Stanley Turrentine, Lou Donaldson or Horace Silver also does the trick.
