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

Clunky Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Roy Eldridge- disc 7-( this was still sealed until a few minutes ago - bought the set 3 yrs ago !!!!) lovely session with strings, pales after more than a few tracks ,the following session with Ronnie Ball is effortless swing. Lovely, great sound. Quote
