Brothers

[danasgoodstuff]

OK, so I went to the record show the other night and the sight of the assembled geekitude put me in a don't want to buy nothing kinda mood so I passed on the Savoy dbl LP reissues referenced above (Brothers and Other Mothers, vol I & II) in nice shape, v. reasonable. How bad did I fuck up...are they, for instance, as good as the Mosaic Single, The Brothers?

I did buy a Spoon and Ben LP which is quite nice...

Big mistake you made! This is one of the very best twofer from the great Savoy series. With lots of superb sessions (and plenty of interesting alternate takes) by Stan Getz, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, Serge Chaloff, Brew Moore, Allen Eager. Many of these have yet to be reissued on CD. A rather rare vinyl these days!

The Mosaic Brothers is quite a different item (and very worthy too!).

Oh! I know the feeling about that record convention mood

Hmm - I saw that 'Brothers Vol 2' in a rack yesterday. Right next to a copy of 'Black California'.

In the end I opted for a 2nd-hand Conn of Grant Green's 'Sunday Morning'.

I agree with Brownie.

You goofed in a big way! Both of these twofers are exellent thanks to all the participants involved.

(And the liner notes describing e.g. Brew Moore's trip way out West in the company of Woody Guthrie are very ... er... enlightening, too. )

I too agree with Brownie.

Somebody else here does too, you naughty boy!

What the others said, great music. Much more than just historical valuue

[Peter Friedman]

Add me to the list of those who said you made a bigtime mistake. It's a very good set.

You missed it this time, but it will probably come around again, and next time you'll know to grab it.

Or else...
