I go back to this one now and then, especially the James stuff.

I really like small group swing.

I really enjoy this Mosaic. Even though the individual albums arguably aren't great, it's an excellent package.

Sal Salvador was a big discovery for me here, very nice selections.

Listening to the Moncur select and finding I have two copies of disc one. I remember there being some cock up but can anyone remind me why the disc had to be reissued? I have searched and can’t see an explanation.

Great set but a shame only part of ‘Bout Soul included.

Back around 1995 I was just getting into Mosaic sets.  I had bought the big Andrew Hill set and one or two others.  I called up Mosaic to order the Serge Chaloff cd set but was told it was sold out.  So I ordered the Lee Morgan 50's set instead.  The other day I came across the Serge Chaloff set for about what it would have cost new and purchased it.  It arrived today and I am on the second disk.  Really enjoying it!

Haven't listened to this one in too long

I reluctantly settled for cd quality downloads of the Coleman Hawkins set from Presto.  I checked it out a bit on spotify and got tired of those ads.  Enjoying the set.  It covers so much time and development in the music.

I have a partial of that set, 2 of the CDs I think. Just that little bit made me regret not buying the box while it was in stock/print. Now prices are a bit prohibitive, so the download sounds like a great option

Presto has the set in four pieces, each of which corresponds exactly to two disks from the original set.  $26 each for cd quality and I think $20 for mp3.  (Always better to get the cd quality imo). Depending on which cds you already have you might be able to get the rest of the set by buying three downloads.  The discography is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20120303081131/http://www.mosaicrecords.com/discography.asp?number=251-MD-CD&price=$136.00&copies=8 CDs

Held off on buying this for a long time because I worried it would be too much (too early, too tinny sounding, more dance music than substance), but I've really been enjoying big band and decided to pull the trigger on a good Ebay price. It's really outstanding, and now I'm just coasting around Duke's entire library - the band was great at all stages! I love how my jazz palette has expanded over the years, starting with an old Art of Pepper CD my parents bought me in HS to bebop, hard bop and then backward to Louis and traditional and swing. I remember scrolling XM years ago and passing through the 40s station as a novelty - now it's primarily what I listen to in the car, lol! Ain't life grand? I look forward to continuing the journey.
