Still slowly making my way through this.  I was familiar with most of the musicians but had never heard these albums.  A wealth of stuff with Ben Webster, Billy Strayhorn, Roy Eldridge, Clark Terry and others. I like Les Spann a lot - such a different style - and enjoyed his playing on this.  He doesn't solo much but his comping is tasty. At times he plays a role somewhat like Basie in the ensemble.   Also some previously unissued west coast sessions with Mel Lewis. Excellent sound throughout.  Overall surprised, even a bit shocked how much I like this set!  Some great music.  Now I may have to pick up a few more Johnny Hodges records and re-listen to some I have.

A fine set. I used to be all over Mosaic about doing the 60s Verve things, but then the Andorrans put out most of it, so that put paid to that suggestion! Even with that, his final two albums for the label--"Rippin' and Runnin'" and "Don't Sleep on the Subway," have still not been issued on cd, to my knowledge.

Yeah I ordered one of those Euro-compilations the other day.  Magnificent as Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster and colleagues are, their names are not well known nowadays.  Alas!

I have that Patton Select too.  Have only listened to it a couple times.  Maybe time to spin it again!

It was only the second time I’d listened to it since I purchased it when it first came out.

My Patton Select is Set No. 0006 - same as the catalog number.

I found a lovely copy of this for around the original price and it arrived today.  I'm a big fan of Benny Golson but somehow I don't have many albums under his name. Same with Farmer.  I  checked this out on Spotify and here we are...  Great music!

Listening to the Cootie Williams sessions.

An underrated collection!

Disc 1. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy the Horace Silver contingent (Farmer, Mobley and Hayes) on Dial “S” For Sonny.

[Ed S]

I've been really enjoying this the last couple of evenings.  Funny thing is I never noticed that despite being a 6 disc set, the spine says Mosaic MD7-262

[ghost of miles]

Disc 5, Singles Session + Blues in the Night. Sounding particularly good at one in the morning:

CDs 1 and 2. Those Bechet-Spanier Big Four tracks are amazing. Awesome sound too.
