Lester Young - Complete Aladdin Sessions (Blue Note, 1942-47)

Unbeatable, unsurpassed music. Period.

Joe Bonner Trio - Parade (SteepleChase)

A very "Mahavishnu"-like album in parts. Featuring the awesome bassist Doug Rauch who left us way too soon (overdose at 28).

Pulled these from the mailbox as I returned from work:

I could kick myself for waiting so long to get me a copy of this magnificent music! Awesome.

The last session from those in the Mosaic box that I wanted - the later stuff doesn't interest me. I can do without Dizzy's more "commercial" small group sides (and vocals), though I like Lalo Schifrin's piano very much.

The liner of this release cites Scott Yanow (allmusic) who totally misunderstands this session, IMO.

Excellent ....

[jazzbo]

Very interesting sound track album. The mastering in the Hancock Columbia Albums box set is superb.

The remastering of all albums in the box is excellent. I made comparisons with several earlier issues of a few albums, and the sound of the box always was top.

Indeed. And a very diverse set of albums. Even among the shamelessly commercial stuff there is some gold like Directstep.

Well, that's what I said isn't it? I agree.

For me, Alphonze Mouzon almost spoils this album with his unimaginative disco beat bass drum.
