Al in NYC Posted May 10, 2023 Report Posted May 10, 2023 I'm in the middle of finally digitizing my dad's earlyish Mosaics. In doing the Mulligan Quartet with Chet Baker set I seem to have run into some confusion over the tune Festive Minor. The Mosaic booklet shows it as being recorded on March 27 1953 by the group with Carson Smith on bass and Larry Bunker on drums, but previously unissued, and it is included in the set chronologically with the other cuts from that session. But I also have a single CD comp that contains what sure sounds like the same recording and has it as being recorded at the Mulligan/Baker reunion session (not included in the Mosaic) in December 1957 with Henry Grimes and Dave Bailey. In various discographies I see it listed both ways, but I am told that the notes in the Mulligan Mosaic Select (which I don't have) may clear up the confusion. Does anyone here know what gives here?

medjuck Posted May 10, 2023 Report Posted May 10, 2023 The Mosaic Select discography notes state that it is from the reunion session though it was first issued on the earlier box set. Seems like the mistake was made in adding it to the earlier box. Quote
Fer Urbina Posted May 10, 2023 Report Posted May 10, 2023 Incidentally, a LoneHill set with all the original quartet master takes (LHJ10356) also included a track from the Reunion, in this case "All the Things You Are" (minus one chorus by Chet Baker). I noticed when I put this blogpost together. F Quote
