king ubu Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Enjoying that I've helped a friend to get a mint Curtis Fuller CD-set for under 50$ - very nice one! Great deal, great set - whoever got it ! You don't happen to have any spare vinyl ones stacked away in your Alpine redoubt, do you? Alas no... the only vinyls I ever saw used (or rather: new but standing in a store for at least a decade when I bought them) are the Tina Brooks, the Art Pepper and the Buck Clayton. Other than those, even my OOP-Mosaic findings (online, mostly) were all CD sets. Right now playing the Complete 1950-55 Illinois Jacquet... wish it existed! Don't have all tracks quite yet (the chronos went through the roof, pricewise, and I already have the "Kid & The Brute" VEE twofer and the useless Quadromania 4CD set, so I went for "Jacquet à la Carte" on Ocium and the Membran reissue of "Illinois Jacquet & His Orchestra", which leaves me with a gap of "Lazy Blues", "Pastel" and "All of Me" from the Clef 1951-01-18 session's quintet part... the first of the four tracks cut, "Speedliner", closes the Quadromania - how silly! Guess they just copied some Chronos there). Quote
LWayne Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Listened to all three discs of the Charles Tolliver Mosaic Select this afternoon. Simply amazing music! I have a production question. At first listen, I seem to have noticed a background tape hiss on CD # 1 (songs 2 and 3). Is this my imagination? Thanks, LWayne Quote

colinmce Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Disc 3, Tal For the rarity of the material as well as its incredible quality, surely this is among the most indispensable Mosaics. Quote
