    Birthday present from a friend. Without knowing it he really hit the nail on the head, as Oscar Peterson was the first jazz artist I ever saw perform live, in Munich, must have been 1970. This new LP reissue sounds really great.

    Brooks is on the tracks with Timmons.

    Sides 1 & 2 are the original Blue Note LP. Next are the four bonus tracks of the first CD reissue. The five tracks that are new are listed as unissued in the Tom Lord Discogrsphy, not as rejected. That said, what I liked about the CD reissue was that the tracks with Brooks and Timmons were first, then the tracks with Hanna, who gets better sound from the bad upright piano at the Five Spot. This New issues is not in session order as far as I can see.

    Got the box set as a birthday gift from my wife. Sound is better than on the single CD reissues, clearer, more detailed. Will post some comments later.

    Bobby Timmons must have hated that piano. bad mechanics and out of tune. Roland Hanna had the better chops to cope with that machine. Contrary to Cuscuna's notes on this 1987 CD reissue, I do not think that ths is one of Burrell's best.

    I sse it that way, too. There were a few organists who referred to that pre-Smith sound, like Jackie Davis, and Wild Bill Davis just continued his way. I love that diversity. Smith was great, and one of a kind, but not the only great way of playing jazz organ.

    Me too.

    I agree, of course, I just wanted to post it for those who are looking for specific sessions. I ordered this one which will not be in the Mosaic boxes:

    Indeed! Not exactly background music. And the abundance of embellishments is almost too much.

    Starting with disc one, let me see how far I get today.
