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?

Me too. Disc 1.

Listened to the whole set over the weekend. Doubt that any of the individual albums rank as "classic", but the package works really well and is one of the Mosaics I play most often.

Jim and Susan Neumann are friends and I have fond memories of listening to "pre-release" tapes in their living room.

Maybe not the most imaginative selection, but it's of course excellent and an "old reliable".

Attempting to clear the shit from my brain!

Art Hodes is good for that! I'm going to revisit the Lennie Tristano set soon to achieve the same.
