Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[gmonahan]

Curtis Amy Select all 3 discs

MG

Me too! This Select has been a real surprise. I didn't order it immediately from Mosaic. Instead (my bad) I took advantage of the deal at deepdiscount. Really great music. I especially like the valve trombone!

[sidewinder]

I've just ordered the complete Verve/Clef Basie!! ...From my local library, that is. They put it on hold for me and say it will probably come in about three weeks from now.

Can't believe that all these North American libraries stock Mosaics. Shouldn't be allowed !

Just the better ones. And there's that whole "library" thing of having to return it by a certain time... But at least I'll get a far better idea of it than from the snippets you can download from the Mosaic site.

Been revisiting the Andrew Hill--the first Mosaic I ever got. Amazing to me how fresh & wonderful this music still sounds.

almost done with disc 5 by now - the first Joe Williams session is terrific!

and as always I'm rather underwhelmed by the "April in Paris" material - just one of many similarly good Basie albums, I never understood why this was such a classic, Atomic and other of the Roulette dates are better, as is, in my opinion, the Gus Johnson material (mainly the dance sessions) of the Verve period.
