Excellent box - one of the few Mosaics I have

I agree.

Those disks spun again primarily to be reacquainted with ‘Mr Natural’. Reminded that that one is a bit meh,  I don’t think the group lineup sounds fully happy and the McCartney cover is mundane, although Stanley does his best. The other two albums are fine - ‘Another Story’ is particularly good.

It was for good reason I think that ‘Mr Natural’ was originally shelved. Can’t understand why it has been resurrected in the Tone Poet vinyl series.

Disc 2.  The set arrived yesterday, so I dove right in.

Last night and again this morning:

Bill Evans - Half Moon Bay (Milestone, 2006)
with Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell; recorded at The Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society, Half Moon Bay, CA in November 1973

It seems like Evans' trio with Gomez and Morell doesn't get nearly as much love as his trios with LaFaro & Motian or Johnson & LaBarbera.  But I still think Gomez & Morell made a terrific unit.  Consider: 
- The Tokyo Concert. 
- Since We Met and Re: Person I Knew from the Vanguard.  
- Blue in Green: The Concert in Canada. 
- This album. 

All damn good records, imo.

Excellent.

I knew little about Melling, but have been enjoying the Skidmore box and impressed by his playing!

I went straight for the trio selections based on advise from this forum.

Yes, they're great--been enjoying them for decades.
