Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[Bluesnik]

Some of early Pepper's finest, I think.

I agree.

The Jazz Crusaders – Unreleased Session , 5/62 [(C,D) in Pacific Jazz Mosaic] (Mosaic – Pacific Jazz)

— With Wayne Henderson, Wilton Felder, Joe Sample, Jimmy Bond, Stix Hooper

Now spinning disks 3 and 4.

Disc 4

[Clunky]

just finished this (started yesterday):

great!

I think this Mosaic gets more play than any of the others. A times quite primitive ( first 2 sessions) but always unfailingly interesting despite or perhaps because of it's flaws.

Nat King Cole Trio – The Complete Capitol Recordings of the Nat King Cole Trio- CD 5 (Mosaic Records)

[Homefromtheforest]

I am playing my very first Mosaic Vinyl box - "the complete Horace Parlan sessions on Blue Note". Bought recently on eBay for $99 in mint condition. Had the chance to also buy the complete Andrew Hill blue note Mosaic from the same seller for $225 but passed since I have all the Andrew Hill Blue Note LPs...even though I realize $225 was a steal it would have been a bit redundant. However I do not own anything by Horace Parlan on Blue Note so this purchase was a no-brainer!

I love the liner notes. Does the music sound better then the original Blue Notes? I'm not so sure...sound is great but I'm not blown away like I am by some of my original "plastylite" blue notes. I think I will be happy with this set at this good price...it also helps that I have an audiophile friend who has a complete collection of all the Mosaic vinyl boxes releases so far!

Sorry I missed that one. Tomorrow would have been Larry Young's 74th birthday, so I'm revisiting the Mosaic set of his Blue Note recordings in anticipation of playing a few sides on the show.

[king ubu]

hugely enjoyed revisiting the Vee Jay sets ... and frankly, I'd love to have a huge number of alternates on the albums that don't have any - "Kelly Great", the first Kelly trio w/Philly Joe and the Chambers with Lateef and Tommy Turrentine - that's one cool band right there!
