The new Mobley, at last! Disc 1.

Thoughts?

The sound seems quite good—mostly it was just a pleasure to revisit those two 1963 albums (coupled together on disc 1), which I think Blumenthal rightly contends are in some ways a continuation/culmination of Mobley’s 1960-61 albums. Just got back from the new Star Wars movie and am contemplating a late-night spin of disc 2.

Thanks for that - looking forward to this set even more !

Disc 3 of the new Mobley right now, after having listened to disc 3 of the new Herman earlier. So nice to have fresh Mosaics in the house the Sunday before Christmas!

Disc 4 of the new Mobley Mosaic. Still crazy to think that A Slice Of The Top stayed on the shelf for 13 years before being released.

Slice of the Top is my #1 favorite Mobley leader-date. Great in every way: writing, arranging, ensemble-work, soloing, complete with Lee Morgan — what’s not to love!!

Really enjoying this set.

Tal Euro-Mosaic, CD2

There’s a great little bio of Tal in the booklet. Sounds like a great, well-grounded and friendly guy as well as being a guitar genius.

Taking a break from Tubby Hayes set with Discs 5 & 6 from JJ Johnson Columbia Small Group Sessions.

Brilliant set in stunning sound.

Arrived here on Tuesday from Jazz Messengers in Barcelona. My wife loves it. I'd enjoy it even more were there more solos by other besides Satchmo.

Picked this up for $40 sealed at a great little record shop in Portland Maine. So good!

Absolutely, that's a great Mosaic! I love Art.

I've been buying a little too aggressively on eBay lately, but without any remorse on my part whatsoever (now my dw on the other hand...).  Currently alternating between these two, and they are both fantastic.  As others on this board have discussed, I love the variety sets, and the Condon Mob is really, really excellent both sonically and musically.  Dixieland really has a liveliness to it that's infectious - I'd dance along if I could, lol.  J.J. is likewise an interesting set for the variety he himself searched for.  Haven't finished the liner notes just yet, but you really can see him always working toward something new with each recording session as Loren Schoenberg notes in the essay.
