Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[blajay]

Grachan Moncur III

I just caved and bought this since it is running low--the only strategy I have for buying Mosaics without entirely ruining my finances. I don't think I'll regret it, will I Sundog?

[Ron S]

Gerald Wilson, disc 5

[sidewinder]

Oliver Nelson, disk 5.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Over breakfast, disc 5 of the Lionel Hampton box, paying particular attention to the session with Lee Young.

Nowt wrong with Lee's drumming on the two up numbers that I can hear. And his vocal on "Lost love" is so much like Lester's playing...

This is an excellent set, great writing and playing by everyone involved. Very interesting to listen to a young Tony Williams! Especially knowing what was to come.

[Big Al]

Bouncing back and forth between the recently received Buddy Rich and Jack Teagarden sets.

[AmirBagachelles]

Buddy Defranco and Sonny Clark!!

Bix/Tram/Tea - disc 3 right now, been playing discs 1 and 2 a couple of days ago, some great, some good, but some annoying vocals, too...

[Stereojack]

Working my way through Sarah Vaughan & Jack Teagarden Capitol - both recently acquired.

What Tom said!

However, I don't particularly care for the "'Bout Soul" and "Some Other Stuff" sessions. Kinda wish those were on their own disc so I could avoid them altogether, but I guess that's what CD burners are for.

The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Art Blakey's 1960 Jazz Messengers

Disc 1

[sidewinder]

Miles Davis 'Complete Bitches Brew Sessions' LP set. LP3 - 'Great Expectations'

[montg]

Andrew Hill Select (the group recordings -- MS 016). This late 60s early 70s era of Blue Note is fascinating to me. This Hill Select, coupled with the Tyner Select, are favorites.

[gmonahan]

Johnny Mercer Select, disc 3.

[Van Basten II]

The very excellent first cd of the Byrd Adams set.

[Guest Bixieland]

I finally got around to the Bix/T/T set. Outstanding.

It is. One of their best sets.

Absolutely one of their best, and essential.

I'm currently listening to the Venuti/Lang set - disc 6.

If you liked the Bix/T/T, this one might be even better. It covers the same time, but is a broader picture of 20s and early 30s America -- notably the blues. And the sound quality is a notch above the Bix/T/T set.

Bob Brookmeyer Mosaic Select, disc 3
