golfcrazy1984 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Onzy Matthews Select Disk 1. It came up on my iPhone as I was listening to the iPod in shuffle mode, and decided to listen to the whole album! Cool arrangements and an AMAZING list of West Coast players. Great sound quality too.

brownie Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Jack Teagarden Complete Roulette, disc 3 Quote
sidewinder Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Complete Chet Baker Pacific Jazz Studio Recordings with Russ Freeman. LPs 1 to 4. Just got hold of a copy of this and it is predictably excellent ! Quote
Pete C Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 What's the best source for finding the current going prices for OOP Mosaics? Ebay? I'm in a shedding possessions mode, and I'm thinking of getting rid of my sets, which I'd offer here first. Not sure yet if I really want to do it, but I have: Jackie McLean 1964-66 Gerald Wilson Serge Chaloff Jimmy Giuffre Sam Rivers (the spine is peeling on the box). Quote
jeffcrom Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Me, too - the Kansas City Revisited session. Quote
Bluesnik Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 the boogie woogie and blues piano mosaic select. it's very good with meade lux lewis, albert ammons and pete johnson among others. Quote

golfcrazy1984 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 Thad Jones Complete Blue Note/UA Recordings, disk 2. The booklet mentions that Thad was like Bartok on trumpet, and I kinda agree. Truly a GENIUS, that didn't get his due credit in the 50s and 60s with Basie. Perhaps from insiders and jazz fans in the know, but the public and history books don't mention him that much. There isn't even a chapter on him in Stanley Dance's book....CrAzY! LOVE Thad's playing and composing. Billy Mitchell is a monster and the rhythm sections, well...Things Ain't The Way They Used To Be.... Maybe I gotta check some new music out.... Quote

There isn't even a chapter on him in Stanley Dance's book....CrAzY! I took a jazz history course with Chuck Israels at Brooklyn College in 1974, and Chuck went on about how brilliant a soloist Thad was. He was talking in terms of melodic/thematic improvisers, who he felt were superior to artists who simply blew on changes, and I think the context was Monk recordings, where he said Thad and Newk were perfect for Monk's music, and he denigrated Charlie Rouse by comparison, IIRC.

One of my favorite Mosaic boxes, actually. There really is some wonderful, tight, smart playing on that Thad Jones set, I love it ... but I am just on Dizzy disk one and he is in a class of his own!

Dizzy is certainly in a class by his own. A true trailblazer and original. I haven't heard much about the Dizzy Mosaic set on here, but I like it, and Dizzy of course, steals the show. Quote
David Ayers Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 I suppose it's not the most 'important' Dizzy, but his soloing is just so fantastic - so many ideas. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 Artie Shaw Disk 7. Very tight band, good arrangements, and REALLY fine sound here. I think I've fully warmed up to Andreas Meyer's transfers/remastering. Really looking forward to the Coleman Hawkins set. Quote
LAL Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Earlier: Dinah Washington, discs 4&5 Much as I love vocals, this set has been a bit underwhelming for me. Quote
miles65 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Lang & Venuti disc 3 after 1 and 2 earlier today. Quote
