An afternoon of Mosaics, whilst reading Larry Kart’s book.

CD5, ‘Merry Go Round’. Splendid stuff.

By way of contrast, CD1

The other day I listened to Sonny Rollins' trio A Night at the Village Vanguard after reading about Elvin Jones in Mark Stryker's Jazz from Detroit. I wasn't even aware of him there.

Edit: what Kart book is that?

One of my favorite sets... Not a bad cd in the bunch.

Just Disc 1 of this one... Been a long time since I heard it.

[Bluesnik]

What a beauty of a set. And with lots of Joe Pass too (at least in the part where I'm now).

I agree. I think for the combination of quality and scarcity of the material this is one of the very best Mosaic sets period.

Inspired by a thread here about it I decided to pick it up. And because I hadn't listened to it in a while. And what wonder again.

Edit: this is a very good Select. One of the bests. And I just found out also the second, behind only the Moncur, which I adore.

Need to give the Carmell Select a spin..

This afternoon, leisurely working my way through CDs 8-10 of Basie Studio. Starting with Benny Carter’s fine arrangements for ‘Kansas City Suite’.

Listening to disc 5. Some great DeFranco on this disc!

Here also just came in this week.

Here are the original vinyl covers of the Mosaic box content. Had posted it in another thread allready.

I finally found a nice copy of this at a very affordable price, completing my set of Basie Mosaics!  Funny, when asked what music I was into I used to say Miles, Coltrane, Blue Note label etc.  Now it's Basie and big band generally.
