golfcrazy1984 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 That Lou Donaldson set is a fine one. I haven't dug it out in a while, I'll have to make a point of giving it a listen. Right now, The Complete Clef / Mercury Recordings Of Oscar Peterson Trio I have been on the fence about this one for a while....I have a lot of Oscar Peterson, and that's probably the reason I haven't gotten this. I'm sure when it goes to running low (if I haven't ordered it by then) I will get it. I do have the Ahmad Jamal set and love it, so time will tell about the Oscar Peterson set. Any thoughts on this set? (I'll check previous discussion). Enjoy listening to the set ! And the Lou Donaldson set is very enjoyable and Ray Barretto is quite the addition to the music The Mosaic doubled my OP collection from 7 to 14. (I'm not counting "sideman" recordings.) To be honest with you, the only reason I have the Mosaic is because I found a copy that was only $6.96 delivered. (all 7 discs but no box/no booklet) Having said that, the music contained in the set is excellent and I'm very much enjoying it. If you already own a lot of him, there's probably not much of a reason to be in any hurry to go after this. OP is almost always excellent so this is more or less more of the same. There's still a seller on Ebay offering this set new/delivered for about $60.00. While I like Oscar, I'm not sure I'd even go for it at that price. It's agreat deal and great news for a lot of fans but my love for OP isn't really compelling enough for me to want to seek out more than I already have. I'm pretty certain this added to the 7 discs I already have will be the extent of my OP collection. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the set in any way. The performances are excellent and his vocals (sounding much like Nat King Cole) are a very welcome addition and adds nice variety to the set. I was already happy with what I had but this was a fantastic addition I couldn't pass up for $1.00/disc. Thanks for the info and your opinion on the set I would have jumped on the set at that price too!!! I got the Lou Donaldson for $39.99 with box and booklet, mint. I HAD to jump on it!!! (What a deal). I don't feel bad about getting a steal like that, Mosaic has gotten PLENTY of my money Quote

sidewinder Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Tony Williams Select, disc 3 How's the sound quality? I have most of the CDs (and 'Civilisation' on vinyl) and as a Williams Fanatic am tempted by this one. Quote
king ubu Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 going for all of it... about to finish disc two right now. Quote
tranemonk Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 I've been listening to the entire Tal Farlow set in my car... This is one of the very few times I've been compelled to listen to an entire set in sequence (more than a few times). I repeatedly find both the music and sound quality outstanding... I love this set. (Thanks Ron S.)... This set has long been one of my top 5 and this process is just reaffirming that. Quote
