Monk-------- At the It Club----- ( LP4 Mosaic )

Gallop's Gallop just finished playing. A bit of a mess but it has that edge as a result. I had the French 2CD set which mirrored the original release. I miss it's editing but not it's sound, which was muddy. This Mosaic set really has as much of Monk's quartet as you might need. Great tunes, well recorded.

Now spinning Wynton Kelly/Paul Chambers Vee Jay CD1. The Paul Chambers 'Go' session.

Chu Berry set --------discs 3 and 4

Unfailing good set. I'd have like a little more surface noise to give some added crispness to the high end. Don't get me wrong , it sounds fine but having heard 78s of some of this material there is more life to be heard if you're prepared to hear some surface noise. None the less high enjoyable set.

Tina Brooks Blue Note, LPs 1 and 2. As Richard Williams' blog reminds me, released this Mosaic released just 30 years ago !

Gee, thanks for the reminder. 30 years ago. Man! The Brooks was the first Mosaic I ever purchased.

Yep, they were already nearly 20 years old by the time I finally picked this up. Mosaic wasn't even on my radar at the time this set was issued - quite obscure and difficult to get hold of in the UK in the pre-internet days. Not to mention very expensive !

Don't remember ever seeing any Mosaics for sale in Canada either, which is sort of suprising - although having said that I rarely saw any old Blue Notes there either.
