golfcrazy1984 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions--Disk 7. Benny Carter and His Orchestra . He had a great band, and he was of course, a masterful musician. Quote

sidewinder Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Thad Jones Mel Lewis Solid State, CD1. Still one of the greatest Mosaic boxes and fabulous accompaniment to a nice Spring day ! Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions, discs 9 & 10, with some great Eddie Johnson tenor solos on the last two Cootie Williams big band sessions. And the obscure, two-song Murray McEachern session has always fascinated me, and today it really knocked me out - two great, unusual Ellington pieces played by McEachern on alto only (no trombone), with an unknown band that turns in a wonderful performance.

colinmce Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Argh, I want that one. Definitely one of the few expensive OOP Mosaics I will own before I die. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Argh, I want that one. Definitely one of the few expensive OOP Mosaics I will own before I die. It is SO worth it. I think there are several used copies on Amazon. I can go back to it and always hear something beautiful and swingin' The booklet is one of the best that Mosaic compiled! Quote
John Tapscott Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 This week - the Dizzy Gillespie Verve/Philips Small Group Sessions - so much great music on this set. Reminds me again why Diz was the greatest trumpet of all. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 This has been on my wishlist for some time! What are your thoughts on the sound quality? I would assume the band is killer! I will probably order it with the MJQ to save on shipping. THANKS! Quote
John Tapscott Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) This has been on my wishlist for some time! What are your thoughts on the sound quality? I would assume the band is killer! I will probably order it with the MJQ to save on shipping. THANKS! Well, I'll answer - the sound quality is very good. All the sessions were recorded in the mid-70's. The music is simply OUTSTANDING! I think this was Toshiko's most creative period. I have heard most of, if not all the band's releases on various labels since the RCA period, but nothing quite matches what's on this set, IMO. And yes, the band is superb. Edited to add: There are two live RCA sessions not on this Mosaic set - a 2 LP set recorded in Japan and 1 LP at Newport '77. I have them both, but I wish we could get them on CD. They are equally as good. Edited March 31, 2011 by John Tapscott Quote

I saw Toshiko and the band on NHK tv a few weeks ago and they were absolutely brilliant. Quote
