Pondering the desire I would have for a Basie Mosiac covering the 2nd Verve period. Their are highlights to be sure, just not sure how many.

Then again, the Woody Herman Mars/MGM/Etc. is not going to be 100% gravy either.

Wouldn't you include as 100% gravy the album he made with Arthur Prysock?

Absolutely! But I think Prysock made better albums for Verve than that one. There's .one, I forget the title, that is one of the best "jazz vocal" records ever made

ok, there's two - Mister Prysock and Love Me.

Yes, yes and yes!

The one with Prysock is the only Basie big band album I've got except for a cheapo compilation of old singles.

If I could find a compilation of stuff from the thirties and forties with ONLY stuff no self-respecting jazz fan thinks is much good, I'd buy it in an instant, but no one would be fool enough to issue such a thing :)
