Mildred Bailey: Complete Columbia Recordings

The Mosaic that eluded me !

I avoided : figured I just didn't need that much Mildred. She's a fine singer but this set was too much of a good thing . Also I might be allergic to xylophone.

I have two on the way, the oop Elvin Jones and the Coleman Hawkins. I have heard a lot of the coleman hawkins but am unfamiliar with the Elvin Jones other than a few samples off the internet. Last I looked the Hawk set is now backordered until 2015.


Andrew Hill Solo: Disc 1 - speechless from the beauty.

Is he the only artist with 3 sets? I have two but not the solo set.

Louis Armstrong has 3, I think. Kenton also 3 - if you count 'Kenton Presents'.

Herman has 3 as well, right? Capitol, Columbia and Philips.

Yep, if you count the Select. Ellington holds the record, I think, with four--2 Brunswick (big band and small groups), 1 Capitol, 1 Reprise.

Listening to Rosemary Clooney, disc 3. I like this set a lot better than I thought I would.

Yes indeed! I don't think I've heard anything bad by Ellington anyways ... even the drabber sessions usually contain some hidden pleasures! Same goes for the box I've started listening last night and in the middle of by now:
