Yes, and thank you! A little crowded with boxes right now but having the music to enjoy in the long term is great!

Perhaps my favourite Select. Early Pepper.

Elvin Jones CD 5 - a little bit less of my liking than the beginning of the box

I need to revisit that one—it’s been too long!

In the mood today for one of my all-time favorite Mosaics:

I often feel the same way about the Elvin box, the farther towards the end of it that I get.

That said, at one point I realized that if the albums covered on discs #6 & #7 (with Jan Hammer, and the like)...  ...I realized that if those very same albums were by somebody else, and some really obscure label -- I'd probably value you them a little more (and probably even like them a little more too).  I mean, there's a ton of oddball 70's stuff I really love, and those last few Elvin BN dates fit right in that bag, stylistically -- along with some of the lesser-known Strata East dates, and the like.

Which is to say that my expectations going into them definitely colors the experience of listening to them for me -- so recalibrating my expectations has helped me appreciate those dates a little differently (and more too).

FWIW, my favorite date on that entire set is the one with Lee Morgan, in a rare piano-less "Ornette" quartet setting (rare for him, anyway).

You're very right about expectations interfering with the listening. I get the idea of recalibrating because it is still very enjoyable music.

One of my fave Mosaics. Not only for Peterson, but also for Kessel. He's, together with Jim Hall and Tal Farlow, one of my favorite guitarists.
