jazzbo Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 “The Complete Roulette Dinah Washington Recordings” Mosaic Records box set, disc 3 I haven’t spun any Dinah in a while and reached for this box set. I love the Roulette sound of this vintage, so warm and flowing. This is some great engineering in my opinion. And Dinah is such a consummate stylist. . . One note, one breath out into the microphone, and she establishes herself. Quote

Peter Friedman Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 Coleman Hawkins sounded better than I recall from hearing this album on LP when first released. But though he only has a few solos, Barry Harris is excellent. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 I haven’t listened to Coleman Hawkins in a while. I pulled this excellent 4 cd set from the shelves where it has resided unplucked for too long. The Keynote label was a wonderful one, nearly ever side recorded is of high quality and featured many musicians who deserved more exposure than they had had. Owner Harry Lim recorded the two “kings” of the tenor, Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins. Sound on this Hawkins set is excellent. This final disc includes Hawkins with Charlie Shavers and a George Whettling group. “The Complete Coleman Hawkins” Keynote/Mercury 4 cd set, disc 4 Quote

This is music I would take to any island I was stranded on, and man does this reissue sound great–also it’s expanded to include alternates in mono. Quote
