Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[CSB046]

Isn't that one on back-order at Mosaic? (you must have got it from a retailer, I guess).

Yeah, I happened across someone on Amazon selling a brand new copy for $39.85 (plus $2.98 shipping). I received it in just a couple of days too. Can't complain!

[John Tapscott]

Quincy Jones - just received, now spinning disc 1.

[BillF]

[sidewinder]

Duke Ellington 36-40 Variety, Vocalion and Okeh Small Groups, CD1

Classic recordings, for sure.

[Van Basten II]

Went through in a hurry the Lionel Hampton Victor sessions,make me want to have more of him.

[mellowT]

This morning I'm spinning Curtis Amy. I'm good as long as I avoid that first disc.

Something about this set reminds me of the Jazz Crusaders.

[tranemonk]

I'm having an Art Farmer morning..

Disc V of the Golson-Farmer set...

[Van Basten II]

Still having my first go after the Berry, going through CD4, the versions of Lover come back to me are pure bliss.

[Sundog]

Going to try to get through The Complete Blue Note Horace Parlan Sessions today.

Johnny Mercer Mosaic Select, CD2

[brownie]

Johnny Mercer Mosaic Select, CD1!

Have mixed feelings so far...

[happy the clown]

Anthony Braxton Disc 5 (Creative orchestra Music 1976 and part of the Montreux / Berlin Concerts).

Love it.

Johnny Mercer Mosaic Select, CD1!

Have mixed feelings so far...

Really? I've been groovin' along to it far more than I thought I would. A 'sleeper' of a Mosaic IMO - pleasant suprise. Although maybe not one to play back to back all 3 disks (unless it's a choice between that and the entire FF Set ! ).

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

Disc 1. Last track is the best.

[jazzbo]

Pops, the first one.

I was not in the right mood for this when I started listening to it.

Got better when I jumped to disc 2 and getting even better now that I am listening to disc 3!

Jackie McLean 1964-1966

The Consequences recordings. Decent session.

David Rosenthal in his notes remarks " ...for reasons equally hard to understand - it remained unissued until the late '70s when it appeared as part of the 'Blue Note Classics' series." I don't think it's hard to understand why it remained unreleased for almost 15 years. Who needed another one of these in the '60s?

Great to hear - I was beginning to doubt my hearing/judgement ! His interpretations of the tunes are in many cases memorable, I think. Unexpectedly so.

Definite to Scott for compiling this set.

Featuring Russ Freeman who I never tire of and Richard Twardzik who is new at least to my ears.

It's one of my favorite McLean dates.

McCoy is in da house.
