Mosaic JATP 1950s Box

[John L]

There is some fantastic music on the box but I still prefer it in very small doses.  

What gets to me is not the fact that it is jams but somewhat the contrary: some of the box is largely the same musicians playing the same blues and standards night after night, not always with enthusiasm and with strong encouragement to bring their solos to crescendos with lots of tooting and honking to get the crowd excited.  That can get a bit tiring after a while.  But small doses can be quite rewarding as at least one or two of the masters will usually play something special.
