Call me crazy, but I think there is some real good music here.

Great writing and playing showcasing Konitz, Schildkraut, Bill Perkins etc. at their best. Stan Levy is on drums.    Q

[sidewinder]

Disks 3 & 4, ‘Polycurrents’ and ‘Genesis’. A perpetual favourite set.

Ok I get it. The Kenton is on the to-be-played pile. 

Regarding the Elvin Jones my admiration for this set only grows. There’s quite a bit of depth to it. Mastering could be a tad bolder but it’s more than good enough.

Have dug the Kenton/Holman/Russo LP set for a spin as well, along with the Larry Young LP box.

Pretty happy withe the mastering on the Elvin set. The combination of my cured ear infection and fairly recent upgrading of CD interconnect (big effect) has brought to light a major increase in perception of detail in the recordings, not to mention dynamics. In fact, I am hearing these recordings in a new light.

Some of the later sessions on the Elvin Mosaic are a tad warm and bright. Of their time plus the Sonny Lester effect, I guess.

Good set!

[Bluesnik]

I picked it up as it was going OOP at Mosaic, together with the Teddy Wilson, and I don't regret having taken the plunge.

Threadgill - disks 7&8

A LOT of gems in this set!

Inspired by Scott Wenzel’s anecdote in the Mosaic Gazette to revisit this one for the first time in quite awhile:

Strange - didn’t get a Gazette email from them this week.

Nor me.  GDPR?

[sidewinder]

Thats what I thought John. Probably need to re-register. Don’t recall getting a GDPR email from them.

Me either (Neither?). I hope it's because they're busy shipping the Savory set.

I read an article this morning that most companies are not yet GDPR compliant and that do do so would cost $100,000. That’s not the kind of money that Mosaic probably has.

Very odd that the Jazz Gazette isn’t showing when I access the Mosaic site, although their other pages seem to be accessible.

Special service for UK subscribers?

So, I got to thinking, what Mosaic have I not played practically since I got it? This one. It's actually pretty good:

A pretty nice set. Together with the Brookmeyer Select I got later.
