Larry Kart Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Of all the Mosaic sets I've bought, this one may have surprised me the most. LOTS of fine music here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanleda Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Ear Opening for me of the few Mosaics in my collection were the Django Reinhardt, the Pee Wee Rusell on the Louis Prima set, the initial Select Grachan Moncur with Jackie McLean, the first disc of the Duke Pearson Select, the Mercer Select and the Freddie Slack Select. All provided something different that really grabbed my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stompin at the Savoy Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) 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.

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!
