gmonahan Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Woody Herman Select, disc 2. "Caldonia." The room is shaking. The house is bouncing. God, but I do love this set!!!! Greg Mo 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
sidewinder Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Jazz Crusaders Pacific Jazz Studio, CD3 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

Swinging to the new Lester Young with Basie set, disc one. Greg Mo Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Spent most of the morning with the Big John MF Patton Select!!!! Oh, yes, that one's not bad. MG 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
shaft Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I'll second everything about the Crusaders set! It's great!! /Shaft Quote
shaft Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Also about the Crusaders please don't forget to pick up the 3 Crusaders titles on Motown. They are great but not easy to find. Sorry for the OT on Mosaic. /Shaft Quote
jazzbo Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Yes, I've been on a tear with this set, right now disc 5 Quote
andybleaden Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I got back into the Larry Young set the other night...good grief what a talent! Quote
paul secor Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 This afternoon: Art Pepper Select - the session with Bill Perkins Quote
Shawn Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Was listening to the Dizzy Reece earlier today and was happy to hear that the Star Bright session sounds much better than the JRVG (which sounded like flat Coke). Great music of course... Quote
Cliff Englewood Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 This afternoon: Art Pepper Select - the session with Bill Perkins That is a, quite frankly, fuckin' great session. Wish there was more of Pepper from this era with players like Perkins, eg Zoot, Kamuca etc, etc. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Breakfast this morning with Lionel Hampton, disc 4. MG Quote
