Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Lionel Hampton disc 3

MG

Duke Pearson Select...two discs of nice Bossa influenced stuff...then disc three comes along. The Xmas stuff, I'm sure I'll dig later, but the easy listening vocal session was more than I could take.

However, the first two discs received the rare and coveted wife approval award, so that means something, right?

And after looking around this board, I seem to be the only person who likes this one. LOL

Buddy Rich discs 5,6 & 7, though I just got Elvin from the UPS man, so I'll probably be throwing that in momentarily.

The Randy Weston Select - not into the prev. unreleased session on disc 2 - great great music! Hawkins wailing on Hi-Fly is just plain crazy!!!

[jazzbo]

I love that Weston, just great music.

Right now, Curtis Amy disc two. Again, a great set of music from top to bottom.

[John Tapscott]

Stan Kenton - '43 - '47 Capitol Sessions - I'm really enjoing the advanced (often very advanced!) writing of Pete Rugolo

Art Pepper Select - the Omega session

[jazzbo]

Been listening to the June Christy/Peggy Lee Complete Capitol Transcriptions set. I forget about this set for a while and when I pull it out I nearly always listen to the complete set.

The Christy sides are great. As a warm-blooded guy I get the impression listening to June that she's a beautiful and sweet gal that you just want to protect and build a nest with.

And then the Peggy sides come along and you all of a sudden want to hold the door to your convertible open to Peggy and go for a long cruise and end up with a steak and martinis by the ocean by candlelight.

Ah! A great set.

Hey Lonson - nice commentary, great sales pitch. You make me want to buy that set (which I will in any case when it gets to 'running low'). You should definitely be working for Mosaic A&R/Marketing.

Well. . . since I've just retired I don't think I'll take that job yet. . . .

It's a great set, you definitely should grab it when the time is right.

I do agree. Put me down for one, too.

Great description! On a related note Helen Merrill inspires that kind of imagery whenever I hear her...but I'm not going to post what that is for fear of being banned!

Helen Merrill. . .

Another great singer, indeed.

Randy Weston Select - the Piano-a-la-Mode session

Had this on a Jubilee LP when I was in college, & wore it out playing it on a bad turntable. Great record and great to be able to hear it again. Thanks to Mr. Weston for the music and to Mr. Cuscuna and Mosaic for making it available again.
