Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[paul secor]

Art Pepper Select - the Modern Art session

Just my first listen to this date, but it sounds like Pepper was truly on a roll when he recorded it.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Lionel Hampton discs 3 & 4

MG

[sidewinder]

Grant Green/Sonny Clark Blue Note LP set, LP3

[papsrus]

Disc 2 of the Complete H.R.S. Sessions, which just arrived here a few days ago. So impressed with this one. Rex Stewart's "Cherry" (1940) is knocks-the-socks-off great -- slightly sad, slightly happy, easy swingin' ... beautiful.

Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Solid State LP set, LPs 1 and 2

Not only great music but one of my fave Mosaic booklets.

Woody Herman Select, discs 2 & 3

still waiting for the package that shall bring me the Hodges and the Prima/Manone... cross your fingers!

Last night and this morning I listened to disc 4 and 5 of the Stanley Turrentine box. I love his arrangement of Randy Weston's In Memory Of on disc four.

[jazzbo]

Yes, good arrangement and performance.

Me,

Buddy Rich, last two discs.

The Pres/Basie Mosaic, disc four.

[king ubu]

My Hodges & Prima/Manone package was finally delivered two hours ago... big relief!

Now halfway through disc two of the Prima/Manone - great one so far, glad I got it!

[jazzbo]

[HolyStitt]

The Complete OKeh /Brunswick Bix, Trumbauer & Teagarden

I thought I would focus on the Tram sides in preparation to finally listening to the Lester Young set.

I sure am into delaying gratification!

Flurin what ya playing at. I'd successfully managed to ignore the lure of the Prima/Manone set until your comments.

My credit card provider thanks you.

I'm hanging on until it exits 'running low'

The Pres/Basie Mosaic, disc four.

Just about to get to disc 4 myself...my set came two days ago.

[Clunky]

I'm hanging on until it exits 'running low'

I noticed that it appeared in both Last Chance and Running Low, not sure if that's the usual form. These pre-war Mosaic wear very well I've noticed and are so well executed.

Lester Young

Disc#2

Yes, and in this case I noticed the first three CDs all being 70-75 minutes long, so they were kind to make this a 6 and not 7CD set, too (the rule seems to be that discs clock in around 60 minutes, no?)

[jazzbo]

I think the rules vary from label to label (and in the case of the Cole for exampe, artist estate to artist estate).

For some reason I went to the Prima/Manone after the Bix, Tram & Tea set. I have had it for a few weeks but this seemed like the best time to listen. Just finished the first disc, I am now starting the second one, and so far I am really enjoying the Prima sides.

The Lester set will have to continue waiting.
