Mulligan Concert Band Mosaic

[Head Man]

For those who can't get enough of the Mulligan Concert Jazz Band material (I am one of those...), FreshSound is releasing a double CD of the complete October 1960 concert by the CJB at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. 6 of the 19 titles performed then were included in the Mosaic set, the rest is given its first release now.

I wonder why the whole concert wasn't on the Mosaic set?

They probably didn't have the tapes. I've had a single cdr of the material for years. The material has circulated as "Personal Mel Lewis Reel to Reel Tapes."

BTW, I won a copy of the Verve Mulligan 'Concert Jazz Band' Mosaic on eBay a couple weeks ago (only $60 total!).  Turns out it was from Euclid Records in St. Louis (where I'm visiting family next week for Thanksgiving) -- so I got an in-store pick-up planned (and no shipping cost, and no sales-tax because I got it through eBay).

Really looking forward to this one, a set I'd considered buying easily a half-dozen times (but never quite got around to).  Hell of a price, that I couldn't pass up.

 

EDIT:  I'm seeing just now that I posted earlier in this very topic -- way back in 2003!  Only took me almost 15 years go get around to it.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I do, but for a shorter price point.
