king ubu Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Yeah, I guess so... but my Pullen and Richards finds were quite unique as well, it seems. Anyway, after a while of being annoyed, there comes the time where rationality kicks back in and I start thinking I paid a bit too much for some of these, after all... Quote
mellowT Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Horace Parlan Mosaic, my favorite of the black box sets. Not one track is a disappointment. Quote

John Tapscott Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 Maynard Ferguson Orchestra - Complete Roulette Recordings It's been a few years since I've played this massive set (10 CD's!!), but from start to finsh it has wonderful music. Quote
tranemonk Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Benny Goodman Disc 7.... :tup Quote
tranemonk Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Disc 3... Not a bad way to start Thanksgiving morning....! :cool: Bing Disc 2... Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 The George Lewis sessions from The Atlanic New Orleans Jazz Sessions. One thing I love about these Lewis recordings is that there are hardly any solos - when one horn takes the lead, the others will often keep playing secondary parts. Quote
tranemonk Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Bing Disc 6... Have to say.. Overall I REALLY like this set.... :rolleyes: Quote
jazzbo Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Crosby. I'm taking it in small doses because the instrumentation and approach is so consistent disc to disc. I really like it, but an hour at a time is more than enough. Glad you're enjoying it TM. Now it's time to get the Armstrong. Quote
tranemonk Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 On the 2nd go-around with Bing Disc 7.... and yes Jazzbo... I'm considering the Armstrong.... :o Quote

Tom 1960 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Randy Weston Mosaic Select - Disc 1 Quote
mellowT Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Stanley Turrentine - Blue Note Quintet/Sextet Studio Sessions I used to be bonkers over this set, but I unfortunately overplayed it (along with the Blue Mitchell set). It's been about a year and a half since I've listened to it all the way through. Sweet! Quote
mellowT Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 Roy Eldridge - Complete Verve Studio Sessions Putting my 9-year-old to bed with Pretty-Eyed Baby and Jumbo The Elephant, by special request. Quote
