I've been listening to a lot of Sidney Bechet recently.  Great stuff!

I wasn't sure if I really liked Artie Shaw.  A while back I gave his Centennial Selection disk a good listen and decided yes, this is good big-band stuff and quite a bit of it does swing pretty nicely.  And I've gotten into big band a lot in recent years.  So recently found a copy of the Mosaic and have been checking it out.

There are two 2 cd sets called "Last Sessions" that have all star small ensemble recordings by Shaw that are wonderful.

Thanks, will check those out.  I also ordered the Self Portrait box (used) which is supposed to arrive today.

Scott Wenzel's lovely epitaph for Dan Morganstern in which he discusses the latter's notes for this set caused me to get it out and give it a listen.

J J Johnson,  JJ, Mosaic Singles CD. What a beautiful CD. Great sound, great players. Love the 2 McFarland arrangements.

Prompted to pull this one off the shelf last night after a friend mentioned that he’d been listening to it. The set includes a session that Getz and Raney recorded for Prestige in 1953. Are there any other Mosaic sets that include dates done for any of the labels that eventually came under the Fantasy umbrella? (Later absorbed into Concord) That catalogue always seemed to be a no-fly zone for Mosaic—I’m assuming that was because Fantasy preferred to issue their catalogue themselves. The Getz-Raney Prestige date on the Mosaic was done under Raney’s leadership… maybe that factored into Fantasy’s willingness to license when this set was being put together in 1989/90?
