I pretty much agree with you, though I find I enjoy Cannon's output to the end, because. . . damn the motherfucker could play. He got better and better in my opinon. I much prefer Lateef to Lloyd anyday anywhere. Lateef brought so much to the Sextet just as he brings so much to anywhere he goes. That cat is DEEP.

That's a good one. Right now, "Bossa Nova USA" (Brubeck). Yesterday I set up the B&O combo reciever and turntable I inherited from my wife's aunt a while back in a separate room.

I don't hear these the same as the Dinah set. Much hipper chorus here in my opinion. It didn't float my boat the first times I heard it, but I've come to really dig them.

???? I think it's great stuff. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Happy Solstice Festival to all!

Haven't heard this "Prestidigitator" but I'm sure it's a great one. Was just spinning two Savoy cds I have of Wallington and enjoying the heck out of them.

I love the alternate "Country" on the box set.

oops , this one of the few CA releases I loath, boring and dull, give me Clark Terry any day.......no seriously this is not one of Julian's better releases, those were all long time behind him in 1962. Live in San Francisco at the Jazz workshop- now that's a different story.................. I fully agree with your assessment. Well, I disagree obviously. I think 1961 was the beginning of really good stuff for CA. Different strokes for different folks. This is a darned good one in my opinion. Lateef!

Glad you joined too MG. Happy Holidays to everyone! May the next year be a great one!

Wow! I now Greek too! And I thought I gave up after Latin! http://www.pirecordings.com/

If you don't pin the head of the family by May, the pole is put to another use. . . .

One of the best releases of 1962.

I find the lack of attention to this thread very disappointing.

Yes, those are both good ones. I keep spinning this new compilation, I think Concord did an excellent job. They made me hear this with excitment all over again.

That was my first reaction as well. Is Mosaic entering the recording/production business? yes. The liner notes to the Tolliver Mosaic Select had indicated that it was the beginning of several joint projects between Mosaic and Strata-East. So I guess maybe Tolliver's contract is with Mosaic, reverse=leased to Blue Note, or whatever. Thanks for mentioning the notes in the Tolliver Select. I haven't bought that one yet. I bristle because I have all but the unreleased material on lp and on cd and I don't want to have to buy it . . .again!

Monday Michiru "Routes" . . . .Monday Michiru "4 Seasons."

Write more. Not necessarily on the internet! Happy holidays to all.

Dittto!

Many more happy ones! Now wait for last year!

I agree. . . great sound on those records for the most part. A few turkeys, but lots of realistic sounding gems. The Monks. . .wow. . .what a treasure trove for posterity.

I dig the cover. Whazz up with that Mosaic logo though anyway!

Well, if I live long enough, I'll grab some of their Decca years material.

Well, I'm enjoying this set. Nice basic compact packaging. Nice notes. Decent sound. I feel the price I paid (fifty-two bucks) is low enough to make me not sweat the duplication I have and enjoy the music I don't have.

I agree those were great batches! I finally got caught up for the most part on them. I guess I've cooled in talking about them because I get tired of reading about complaints about the sound. (I dig the sound!)

The Ellington Small Group. . . amazing sound.
