Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[jazzbo]

Okay and what do you think of the Armstrong?

I've listened through the Shaw twice, and I've had a lot of that material on lp and cd. . . and I enjoy it but I'm not really crazy about it right now. The Young and Basie. . . wow, love this music, have for a few decades.

Haven't gotten it yet.. (Had Mosaic hold it to ship with the Jamal set...)

Guess you're not a fan of the Herman?? ((either the Select or the full box?)

I like both the Hermans. I don't enjoy either more or feel either is more essential to my collection as the Young. But you won't do wrong getting one of the Hermans.

Lon's a big fan of the Hermans:

The Complete Columbia J.J. Johnson Small Group Sessions - disc 5

[John Tapscott]

Complete Capitol Recordings of Woody Herman - _disc 5..

Trying to decide what to spend my upcoming Fathers Day present (Mosaic Gift Certificate.. :excited: ) on...

1_ Columbia Woody Herman

2. Artie Shaw OR

3. Woody Herman Select + Lester Young/Basie Set......

:unsure: :unsure:

Any suggestions?????

I second those who say the WH Select and Young/Basie. (I presume you are choosing from one of the three and not the Herman Columbia and Shaw

together).

Nothing against the others (I don't have the Shaw), but what a great variety of great swinging music these 7 discs would give you.

Jazz Crusaders disc#4

Waiting for that one to be delivered... has the new outsources mailing created longer delivery times? I guess so... not complaining yet, as I'm getting this sent with reduced shipping costs from the last offer they had going on. But the two previous orders since they changed their system took an eternity to get here, too!

[John Tapscott]

Today - alternating between two of my recent purchses - McCoy Tyner and Andrew Hill (solo) Selects.

[John Tapscott]

Listening to Disc #3 of the Tyner - what a magnificent set!

Next up - Stanley Turrentine

[thomastreichler]

The Complete Master Jazz Piano Series

A great set of solo piano with a whole cd of superb Earl Hines; a special revelation for me were the four tracks by Cliff Smalls on disc three (mainly because I was not that familiar with him before). Does anyone know of any other albums by Cliff Smalls as a leader or sideman?

[Sundog]

The Complete Lionel Hampton Victor Sessions 1937-1941

[gmonahan]

Bing Crosby, disc 7. It's taken me a while to listen through all these, but I've really enjoyed 'em.

Will be playing some Morgan today!

[brownie]

Does anyone know of any other albums by Cliff Smalls as a leader or sideman?

Black and Blue had Cliff Smalls lead a very good trio date (with Leonard Gaskin and Oliver Jackson) in 1979

Smalls also played with Earl Bostic (he was on the session that produced 'Flamingo') and Bennie Green ('Blows his Horn' and 'Bennie Green & Art Farmer' on Prestige) among other dates.

Now listening to:

Th Carmell Jones Select, disc 3
