Very nice.

Complete Argo / Mercury Art Farmer / Benny Golson / Jazztet Sessions; Meet the Jazztet and The Jazztet & John Lewis. This is one of my least-played Mosaics, but tonight I'm not sure why - as I was looking through the booklet to decide which sessions to spin, it seemed to have an embarrassment of riches.

I don't have the Jazztet box, but I had a similar occurrence recently. I played some Benny Golson and remembered what a great player he is and how I've tended to overlook him - and for no good reason.

Finally got it !

Listening to disc one, the mastering is beautiful and sounds really fresh and vital.

CD # 2.

[psu_13]

Disks 1 and 2.

I've heard most of the masters in other reissues before. But the remastering on this set seems better in some cases, and of course there are the alternates.

Akiyoshi/Tabakin - disk 3

[mjzee]

This was a good week for Mosaics for me. Through a board member I got the Tristano, and just got word from Reckless Records that they're shipping the Serge Chaloff.

Found a used copy in excellent condition from a German amazon seller, for about the original price. Had to skip this when it went last chance for financial reasons, but wanted it for the session with Quinichette. Now that I can listen, I like it all, great music all the way through.
