Bluesnik Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 A really good set. My first select, I think, as this was #1. I love the McLean, Moncur, Hutcherson combination. Quote
jeffcrom Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Okay, get this. My wife and I are having three Christmases this year. We're leaving tomorrow to spend actual Christmas with her family in northwestern Washington. When we get back we're going to have fake Christmas with my family here in Atlanta. But tonight we had our little personal Christmas/solstice celebration and exchanged presents. She had asked me what I wanted, and I said, "How about a Mosaic set?" I gave her a Mosaic catalog with the Ellington small groups and the Clifford Jordan sets checked. When I opened my gift, there were both of them - she couldn't decide. Tonight I listened to the excellent first disc of the Clifford Jordan, while loading all of the Ellington into my iPod to listen to on the trip. I think that the Ellington small group material is the "major-est" body of jazz from the 1930s that I didn't have in my collection - although I had heard it, thanks to a friend who gave me CDRs of the set.

That's a lot of good listening there! My friend bought the Clifford Jordan box and he loves it. I just spent my first of 3 Christmas celebrations at my sister's house in Ferndale, WA which is just north of Bellingham as you may know. Are you going to get time to head down to Old Town Antiques on Holly street for a little record shopping!? I used to love going there but have not had time to go there in many years...have many fond memories of record shopping in Bellingham at places like Golden Oldies, etc... Quote

That Ellington set is amazing. Essential. I've been on a bit of a Braxton jag lately, have just started working my way back through the Arista set. Disc 1 and disc 2 this morning... yeah! Quote

Some of the wife's extended family lives in Ferndale. I spent an hour or so in Old Town Antiques six months ago, so I'll probably skip it this visit - I'm "allowed" a certain amount of time on my own, away from the family, and have to budget it. I like to hit Everyday Music in Bellingham every visit, because I always find some great CDs there. There is apparently an employee there who likes Brotzmann! Quote
Jay Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 Joe Pass. For Django material. Noted that this set didn't get a lot of love around here but it really is a wonderful set. Having a Mosaic only week this week with a few breaks for Pass's Six String Santa and some other nuggets. Let's hope the Dial and Jordan are under my tree as that is what I am hoping for.... Quote
sidewinder Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 I just listened to the clips from the Clifford Jordan set. I wanted this before, but now I REALLY want it! It is a really nice set. I'll be giving it a spin or 3 over this Yule break.. Quote

mikeweil Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 My copies of the Ellington Small Groups and Hampton sets arrived today - so I enjoy the first disc of the Duke set on my recently acquired Focal Spirit Classic headphones - great music, great transfers, great listening - I won't regret it. These remasterings sound so much better than the French double LPs .... Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam, disc 4 from the Clifford Jordan set. I'm guessing that this will be my least-played disc in the box in future years. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Many thanks to all who contributed to making me order this set - the band jumps and swings like mad, sound is terrific, and Hamp's vocals are completely unobtrusive. Great stuff. Anybody still in doubt should go for this. Quote
hbbfam Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Charles Mingus The Complete Candid Recordings Disc 1 I am new to this forum, and perhaps this is the wrong thread for this, but: I recently listened to a friend's copy of the Mosaic Charles Mingus Candid Rcordings. It is really good with very good sound, IMO. It is out of print and quite spendy. Most of these tracks are on the following albums: Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus, Mingus, Reincarnation of a Lovebird, Mysterious Blues and Newport Rebels. Has anyone compared these CDs to the Mosaic Box? Recommendations? Quote
