sidewinder Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Set with a 'buy it now' for $98. Looks like a good deal. I'm not sure but it looks as if it's on offer to buyers within Germany only. May be of interest to one of the German board members, perhaps..

king ubu Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Dont recall any discussion about this set, any opinions? pros/ cons? ← I have it and like it, but it's far from the most listened or favourite set. Enjoyable bebop of the pure kind. Some sessions are with trumpet (Harrell and who again?) or trombone (Hal Crook), some are quartets. There's that whack pianist on one or two dates (Melillo, is that him?). Of course there's the rhythm team of Bill Goodwin and Steve Gilmore... a fine set I'd say, but far from essential. I look at it like this: Woods has a huge discography (tons of releases on small European labels... many italian labels, I think), and this Mosaic collects a few rarities, that most probably are just as good as all his other stuff (he's a pro, so it's all good, but it has a bit of a sameness to it, I think). The five discs of the Mosaic are about as much Woods as I need, and this is definitely a nice way to have it. On a sidenote: if it seems like I'm not that much a fan of Woods', yup, may be correct. But I heard a recent radio broadcast of Woods' quartet playing live in Zurich with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra (dir. André Bellmont - anyone here knows him?) - Woods played very very very beautiful on that concert! And the arrangements were his, too.

Free For All Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Some sessions are with trumpet (Harrell and who again?) Brian Lynch? There's that whack pianist on one or two dates (Melillo, is that him?). Hal Galper? ← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's indeed Melillo, but being at work I cannot check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 If not Galper, then I'd guess Melillo is probably who you're thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeCity Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Not sure about "whack", but I see a mention of Jim McNeely in the ebay listing. Possibly him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 No, I think it's indeed Melillo - but it's been some time since I played any of this set, so my memory may be a bit off the mark as far as whackiness is concerned...

brownie Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Mike Melillo, Hal Galper and Jim McNeely are the pianists on the various sessions from the Phil Woods box. Great fan of Phil Woods here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I agree with Brownie. This is a very good set, with excellent playing throughout; the only quibble being the mediocre (but very listenable) sound quality on the first couple of sessions. But overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofy Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 This is a good set, but as was said in previous posts, it's all the Phil Woods I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
