Before: A 1989 PJ CD entitled Trio which features 12 Russ Freeman sides from 1953 and 8 Richard Twardzik sides from 1954. I believe that all tracks are included in the PJ Piano Trios Select.

Now: Herbie Nichols, disc 2.

yesterday: disc 2-4 of the Elvin Jones Mosaic (all three albums with Wilbur Little on bass plus the first with the new band w/Gene Perla and Dave Liebman) - fantastic!

now: Harry James Capitol recordings (discs 5-7 of the Krupa/James box) - rather nice, didn't expect to like it that much...

to be followed by disc 3 of the Woody Herman, I think... will see.

The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Freddie Redd. Disk one. I'm still in shock over today. I go into Silver Platters in North Seattle, and I'm about ready to leave, I look down under the used jazz cd bin, and there's the Freddie Redd Mosaic for $29.99, so I jump on it. The set is in mint conditions too. Pure luck.

Good grief ! Nice find indeed - congrats.

I once found the Bechet and Herbie Nichols CD boxes in a store for £10-15 each with bent boxes but the books and CDs were fine.

Currently spinning 'Curtis Amy Select' CD3.

Stan Kenton - Capitol 1943-47 - disc 2 by now - some fine June Christy here!

(never managed to find the Holman/Russo box, but I guess i have most of that on individual Blue Note/Capitol CD reissues by now)

Mosaic Commodore volume 1. The Teddy Wilson record is a real gem. I like this collection more and more.

No kidding. Fantastic music, almost everything on that label is fascinating to hear.

Right now, Columbia Piano Jazz Moods.

What a pity Mosaic didn't issue this fabulous collection on CD...

Yeah, and the least they could have done is keep one of each of the LP sets for me, for the time I found out about Mosaic... or even better, a couple of more years, until I'd have had the knowledge and some money. <_<

into disc 4 by now - very enjoyable! I could do with a bit less Vido Musso and less of the boy singer, too - Christy on the other hand :wub:

Finished the 43-47 box - great one! never made it all the way through before, and I have to say I liked it a lot this time!

The Holman/Russo set absolutely smokes. Recommended without reservation.

Would you have the discography to post here? I never found out what exactly is on that set and would appreciate being able to compare with the single CDs I have (Potraits & Sketches on Standards, New Concepts of Artistry, Kenton Showcase are the ones falling into that period, I think, as well as one lone Russo arrangement on "Easy Go").
