I don't care how or why Mosaic came up with a Capitol box to sell to me. I'm just glad I had another chance to get it.

"Interesting" is an appropriate word to describe that one, imo. Glad I have it - some good playing & compositions but not an essential record.

To me the Capitol set has always seemed like kind of a strange assortment - some absolutely essential sessions, but also some odd inclusions. I'll be interested to hear what your favorite tracks/session turn out to be, since our tastes line up so often. Decided to listen to various sessions, rather than listen to entire CDs. So far: Zutty Singleton, Bobby Hackett, Paul Whiteman sessions, & the frist 2 Eddie Millers. So far, my impression is that although not everything is timeless music (some is), everything I've heard is at least enjoyable/fun to listen to. I'm glad I finally made the decision to pick this set up.

Perhaps this mini rush of sales will help Mosaic's financial position a bit and will help with future issues.

Didn't see that you'd started your own birthday thread, Joel - that must be a first - so I started another thread.
