Disc 2.

Not at all connected to the Mosaic box, this is a compilation (done by Castle Communications) of various releases you used to find in the remainder bins, from Lionel Hampton's Who's Who In Jazz label, "Live At Midem" releases, "Live At Bubba's" releases, and the like.  Won't make anyone's Best Of list, but very pleasant background listening with a few surprises.

This disc contains:

1. Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Moanin'.  Bubba's Restaurant, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 10/11/80.
2. Dave Brubeck - Lover Man.  Riviera Concert, Cannes, France, 1/28/83.
3. Gerry Mulligan - Walking Shoes.  Lionel Hampton session, 10/25/77.
4. Johnny Griffin - Hush-A-Bye.  No location listed, 5//88.
5. Wynton Marsalis (really Blakey's band, same date as track 1) - One By One.  Bubba's Restaurant, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 10/11/80.
6. Stan Getz - Billie's Bounce.  Riviera Concert, Cannes, France, 1/23/80.
7. Groove Holmes - Groove's Groove.  No location listed, 2/28/91.
8. Michal Urbaniak - Softly As The Morning Sunrise.  Village Vanguard, 1993.
9. Dizzy Gillespie - Slew Foot.  "Recording date unknown" (I think this was originally on the Perception label).
10. Ahmad Jamal - It's The Good Life.  Live at Midem, 3/20/80.
11. Wynton Marsalis (again, same date as track 1) - Jodi.  Bubba's Restaurant, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 11/11/81.

Japanese 1,800 yen reissue of 3-cd bundle: 2 Timeless and one Storyville. Too lazy to look up cover art for all 3, though I'm partial to T.T.T. due to J. R.'s uncanny resemblance to Moe Howard in the photo. 😅

 

Either Moe or one of The Ramones. 😉

John Zorn – Mary Halvorson Quartet – Paimon (Book Of Angels Volume 32)

John Zorn Featuring Marc Ribot – The Book Of Heads

Paul Shapiro – Midnight Minyan

John Zorn - Eyvind Kang – Alastor (Book Of Angels Volume 21)

First listen to all of these. I'm probably least underwhelmed by the Kang one.

I saw Weather Report for the second time the year this was released. In the late 'seventies and early 'eighties I loved this band!

Okay, I'm awake enough now for this one.

John Zorn Featuring Marc Ribot – The Book Of Heads

I saw this quartet live with this program. I thought the tunes were cute but formulaic and I am really not a fan of Halvorson's playing. She has her tricks (a trick?) that is exciting the first time you hear it, but gets tiresome when repeated many many times. I thought Okazaki was more interestigng a guitarist.
