John Tapscott Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Johnny Richards Mosaic select. Bought it from a board member, don't remember who. Knew and still know nothing about Richards, i've heard the two first pieces from the cd set, and except for a passage in the second piece where you got some groovin going on this has little or nothing to do with jazz, it sounds a lot more like a classical music ensemble. Nice sound texture, beautiful and warm with great coloring though, i enjoy it but i'm just did not expected that kind of stuff, think i'll go read the booklet to figure out what this is all about. There's lots of real big band jazz on that set, which you've probabaly discovered by now. Right now: Horace Parlan disc 3 - a great set. Quote

Guest Bixieland Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Woody Herman Select, disc 2. "Caldonia." The room is shaking. The house is bouncing. God, but I do love this set!!!! Greg Mo Me too. There's not a thing wrong with those 3 discs! Right now, the Basie set just landed in my lap this afternoon. Funny how that happens.... Disc One: The Complete Clef/Verve Count Basie Fifties Studio Recordings. Enjoying it immensely!! Quote

jazzbo Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Wish I could enjoy the Herman Select as much as you guys do. I've had the original lps, I have the Select, I like the music, but it doesn't flip me the way it seems to flip others. Right now, Johnny Smith, disc one. World's most beautiful sounding guitar, or at least so I think often when listening. Edited June 12, 2008 by jazzbo Quote

jazzbo Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Right now, the excellent Jazz Crusaders set. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Essential. 'nuff said. HELL YEAH! Great music. Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Going through The Complete Woody Herman Columbia (1945-7) Could have done without the Christmas tune in June Quote
sidewinder Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Right now, the excellent Jazz Crusaders set. Totally agree, Jazzbo. This group were very under-rated. And the music throughout the set is consistently good - from the early sessions through to 'Powerhouse' and 'Uh Huh'. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 What I find neat is that you can go through the set and hear a track and say "Ah, they've studied the John Coltrane Quartet." And then the next track you say to yourself "I hear they've been listening to Horace Silver!" And the next track, "Wow, that's very Cannonball!" And the next track "Here comes an Eddie Harris inspired tune!" And they're all good tracks, all have a distinct Jazz Crusaders thing going as well as the structure or style of these other bands. Also: Felder was a monster player. Quote
