jazzbo Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 The Marty Grosz Mosaic. No, wait a minute, it just seems like a Mosaic set because I have about six discs in front of me. That Hodes set (I have the cd set) is fantastic! Quote
sidewinder Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 That Hodes set (I have the cd set) is fantastic! Yep - a winner from the first note. I don't have any of this material so it is a bit of a revelation. 'Hot Jazz On Blue Note' for sure. Sound is pretty good too ! Quote

tranemonk Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Elvin Jones Disc 3... (digital) I have to say... over time I think has become my favorite Mosaic.... :excited: Quote

I've been reading Selections from the Gutter: Portraits from the Jazz Record, edited by Art Hodes and Chadwick Hansen. This makes an excellent accompaniment to the Hodes Mosaic. His stories of early Chicago scene are priceless, and his straightforward prose makes it all the more vivid. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Great book Zanones, isn't it? I have this too, and the only book I have like it is Eddie Condon's "Scrapbook." Quote
blajay Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Great book Zanones, isn't it? I have this too, and the only book I have like it is Eddie Condon's "Scrapbook." It is! My favorite line in the section "Making a Record": Say, has anyone ever told you what it feels like, making a record? Sometimes I wonder how anyone can make a good record. In the first place, records are almost always made at the worst possible hour for the musician. For example, 'Liberty Inn Drag' was recorded at a 9 a.m. session. I don't have to tell any of you who have seen us in action what a musician feels like that early in the middle of the night. [my emphasis] Great coverage of little known heroes of boogie woogie like Cow Cow Davenport and Montana Taylor. It is kind of like a predecessor to Art Taylor's Notes and Tones because of the raw musician's perspective, but without the overly-structured interviews and obviously subjective agenda. I should check out the Condon book. -Jay Edited October 10, 2008 by zanonesdelpueblo Quote

king ubu Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 last night: disc 2 & disc 3 of the Gerald Wilson - big - Teddy Edwards saves many of the pop tunes on the first album on disc 3! Quote
king ubu Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Finished the Wilson - excellet set! The second pop album is pretty weak though... not much there to enjoy, quite unlike Teddy Edwards on the first one. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 That's pretty much how I hear it too. This morning: Joe Pass, disc 5 Quote

Uncle Skid Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Set aside the newly arrived Braxton Arista for a moment, and put on the Andrew Hill Blue Note disc #6. Quote
blajay Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter Complete Vee Jay Quote
blajay Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Bud Powell Complete Blue Note LPs 3 and 4 That trio with Curtis Fuller's bone as the only horn is fascinating. I surprisingly like it, but I guess it could use some more brass. Some real bluesy stuff and lots of Monk influence on the Time Waits session. Quote
blajay Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Bud Powell LP 5. Thought I was listening to Horace Silver for a minute there with Comin' Up! Quote
