Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[kinuta]

The music is great although the sound quality is all over the place, which is understandable.

Worked through all the discs and am now on the final Basie session.

The two Basie discs rock relentlessly, it must have been an adrenaline rush to hear them live.

I can't believe this is  still available. The two Basie discs are must-haves.

The previously unreleased quartet session with Cecil Payne, Ron Carter and Roy Haynes is face-melting.  

Now playing:

Disc 2.  I hadn't heard a ton of Berry before buying this, but so far, so good.

Starting disc 1!

Yes, Justin. Last night I listened to the box again, and that session struck me particularly. It's unissued except for a track that was in a sampler.

Discs 2, 3, 4.

Disc 4 of the new Woody Herman Mosaic, end of the Carnegie Hall concert.

Disc 6

Disc 7

[Jim Duckworth]

I listened to discs six and seven-with Roy Eldridge, Dodo Marmarosa, and Barney Kessell.  I must confess, however, that I've been listening to alot of Woody Herman the last few weeks, and I found myself missing some of the entertainment I find in the music of the Herds,  As Uncle Dave Macon said about Earl Scruggs, "He ain't a bit funny."

Been meaning to revisit that one (the first Mosaic I ever purchased).

Always a lot to chew on in this one:

It wasn't my first, but it was an early one. Interesting that there seems to be a resurgence of interest in Andrew lately. Especially regarding all the new vinyl BN reissues.

I never got that Braxton box. Sorry I missed out. Will hopefully be able to see him at the Big Ears Festival in March, though.

[Bluesnik]

A set I love, because I like small group swing very much. And I never enjoyed it like today.

Just finished disc I Woody Herman 1943-1954. Nice arrangements. I allways have to revise my opinion on Woody's clarinet playing. It's Always better than I remember. But not on par with Goodman or Shaw. Ben Webster's solos are great but to short. Best track: Crying sands.
