Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra “Cuba–the Conversation Continues” Motema Music 2 cd set disc 1 170×148 11 KB I seem to like Cuban music best in big band form. This is very good. My wife (one quarter Cuban–one half Irish, one quarter English) likes this too.

They are generally only available in a particular form on RSD and then if there are remaining copies of that format they may be sold online. In the case of Resonance, Elemental, Real to Reel et al there is often a cd version available for sale everywhere (mortar, online) beginning one week later.

To me that sounds like the organ sound of the 'forties and early 'fifties and how Basie himself generally sounded on the organ. So, of its time, accepted and enjoyed at the time. Jimmy Smith was such a big deal because he changed the sound.

One man's forgettable may be another's pretty pretty cool.

Mario Adnet “Um Olhar Sobre Villa-Lobos” Adventure Music cd 500×450 19.7 KB 300×300 29.8 KB

Big Beat, I think the marketing strategy was to offer a few cds to someone who may only pick up one, and also encourage the serious collector to get them all to try to get all the originally released material over the lot of cds. Worked for me. I really did enjoy those cds a lot. Sound was decent for the time period, music great. Didn't need all the sessions to be sequenced complete, did want to have it all. And I do agree about "A Night at Count Basie's." I enjoy it--and the organ is a dated sound, but was the sound for the time period before this one and up to this one, and a very Basie organ sound as well. My favorite Vanguard material I hope appears in the next Mosaic set: the Mel Powell material.

I'm actually more excited about this than I expected to be. I'm in for the two cd set. Why not buy some of this material for the . . .fourth or fifth time(?)

I realize that now.

"Body Talk" is a CTI though.
