tranemonk Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 I know there are board members who disagree with me... but this set is in my top 3 mosiacs.... :excited: The Complete Anita O'Day Verve/Clef Sessions I listened to some of that the other day, too. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 I really WANT to like the O'Day that much, but just doesn't get there for me. I'm enjoying the new Goodman Mosaic of the Columbia material. The sound is excellent on this set! Lots of nice Cootie Williams. Quote
tranemonk Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Part of my attraction is I really dig her voice in this set... Just kinda subtle, raw sexy..... I really WANT to like the O'Day that much, but just doesn't get there for me. I'm enjoying the new Goodman Mosaic of the Columbia material. The sound is excellent on this set! Lots of nice Cootie Williams. I'm probably going to cave and get the Goodman despite the alternate tracks... Quote

I guess that's part of my problem, I don't find O'Day's voice to be sexy. Just saw Beyonce doing Etta James in the theater. . . now that was sexy! And made me cry.

tranemonk Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 glad u're liking it Ron..... this one lost me due to the number of alternate takes.... Sidney Bechet Select Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 glad u're liking it Ron..... this one lost me due to the number of alternate takes.... Sidney Bechet Select Ah, a very important comment from my point of view. What kind of percentage of alternative takes is there in the set? MG Quote
jazzbo Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Bechet (like Parker) is someone I would not want to steer clear of as alternates go. . . . Here is the tracklisting etc. Allan: http://www.mosaicrecords.com/discography.a...;copies=3%20CDs Great set. Quote

Sidney Bechet Select Ah, a very important comment from my point of view. What kind of percentage of alternative takes is there in the set? MG Thanks TM and Lon. I thought this was Blue Note material, of which I already have 2 LPs' worth but, looking at the discography, I see it's all OkeH, Columbia, Variety & Vocalion and I haven't got any of it. That alters the equation a bit for me. But 37.7% .... Have to think about this. MG Quote
