jeffcrom Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Meet the Jazztet from the Art Famer/Benny Golson/Jazztet box. I was resigned to having missed out on this one. Thanks, Cliff. Quote
jeffcrom Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 The Jazztet and John Lewis from the Jazztet box. I'm loving these arrangements - just wonderful. And there's a personal, nostalgic aspect to this box for me. 38 years ago my late mom got me my first jazz album - Ya! Ya! by Budd Johnson on Argo. I think she picked it up for me because it was a cheap cutout and had a picture of Johnson with his horn on the cover, and I had just taken up the saxophone. The inner sleeve had small reproductions of dozens of Argo albums on it, and it just fascinated me. That's where I learned lots of jazz names - I would pore over the sleeve and wonder who John Lewis, J. C. Heard, Zoot Sims, and Red Rodney were. Almost all the Argo albums included in this Mosaic box were pictured on the sleeve. I've been waiting all these years to hear some of these albums. I still have the Budd Johnson album. It gets played regularly, and I still enjoy looking at the inner sleeve. Quote

gmonahan Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 The Complete Verve Johnny Hodges Small Group Sessions 1956-61. Sure wish Mosaic would do a 60s follow-up to that one with all the Verve sessions (and maybe the RCA ones with Davis thrown in). Lots of great music there on the Verves which has never been reissued on cd. greg mo Quote

mellowT Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Dexter Gordon - Mosaic Select 14 In honor of my first and favorite Mosaic Select, which just went OOP this morning. I must be on, like, listen #31 by now. It never gets old. Quote
jeffcrom Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Bennie Green Select. I really like it. Green was one of the first jazz trombonists I became aware of - he played on the boxed 45 RPM Charlie Ventura album my mom brought home for me when I was 16 or so. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 I first appreciated BG on the Jo Jones Vanguard date with Lucky Thompson. Wonderful player. Quote

Clunky Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Pulled the Bob Brookmeyer off the shelf and realised that although I bought this Select three years ago, discs 2 and 3 were still sealed.!! Rectifying that now by listening to Disc 2- very nice lightly swinging charts. Some excellent Giuffre on this disc. Quote
gmonahan Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 I pulled the now-sadly-lost Lou Donaldson set off the shelf and am listening to disc one. Curtis Fuller is on fire. greg mo Quote
CSB046 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 I'm currently trying out the Charles Tolliver set, which I just received a couple of days ago. Man, I'm not usually a big fan of bass solos, but some of these are amazing! Quote
DrJ Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Lately it's been the Turrentine set - the material from JUBILEE SHOUT! especially - and the COLUMBIA SMALL GROUP SWING SESSIONS (Herb Ellis' dates played most frequently). Quote
