Bright Moments Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 glad i've got mine already!!! RUNNING LOW The Columbia Jazz Piano Mood Sessions (7 CDs) $112 A Treasure Trove of Artistry And Technique In 1950, Columbia Records set out to chronicle the then-current musical landscape under the banner "Piano Moods." We've chosen to re-release, for the first time in nearly fifty years, the jazz sides from the Piano Moods series. There's the lush complexity of Errol Garner; Joe Sullivan's rugged lope; the quiet eloquence of Eddie Heywood; Jess Stacy's expressive use of dynamics and upbeat attitude; the delicate command of Teddy Wilson. Additional highlights include a thrilling, live solo-session from Art Tatum, recorded at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium a year before the Piano Moods project began and two drummer-less sessions from Ahmad Jamal recorded in 1951-52, with Ray Crawford on guitar and Eddie Calhoun on bass. The Mosaic Records booklet includes a behind-the-scenes look at the series by the original producer George Avakian and an essay by pianist Dick Katz. Quote

Ron S Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Now I'VE seen your response--and I'd originally thought that I'd let this one pass me by. Now you've got me having second thoughts. Quote
tranemonk Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 I'm waiting for your lead.. Ron... I might follow you over that cliff.... :unsure: Now I'VE seen your response--and I'd originally thought that I'd let this one pass me by. Now you've got me having second thoughts. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Hey, I'm now right behind you guys looking over the precipice ! Cross-hairs are on this one. Trigger finger primed. :rsmile: Quote
ASNL77 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 You can count me in for that one. Not the best time for it to hit the 'running low' category as we are about to spend quite a lot of money for our holidays in Iceland. Still, I can't resist the temptation... Quote
Bright Moments Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Posted July 21, 2007 um-- sorry? NOT!!!! This one is a winner! don't miss out! Quote

sidewinder Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Just noticed from Mosaic's brochure writeup that there are sessions by some real obscure pianists on here. Stan Freeman, Max Miller, Buddy Weed and Bill Clifton. All of these guys are a total unknown to me. Looks like a fascinating set. I'm there, I think.. Quote
B. Goren. Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Take a look here: Deep Discount. The same set and much cheaper. Quote
J.A.W. Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 I just posted the AMG review of this set in the earlier thread, post #21. Quote
