I was not in any way aware of this. Thank you.

Whoa! I wholly approve. There are some worthwhile rarities on this set by Tuff Green, Phinus (sic) Newborn (Newborn family band), Wilbur Steinberg and others. I can't imagine that there are a lot of people who want a 20 disc set spanning James Reese Europe to Albert King... I, predictably, want this darn thing.

Elmo Hope, Percy Heath, and Philly Joe Jones on two sessions here as well.

Exploding Star Orchestra

I didn't expect to get much out of the Ellington '32-40 box as I had the material in other collections, but it is probably my all-time favorite Mosaic set.

Best version of Indian Red ever.

Loving the trio material.

Became aware of this recent expanded release thanks to this thread. I pull this one out somewhat regularly and was glad to have all the other material from these sessions in one place. Hobart Dotson!

I too really like the Jayhawks particularly Tomorrow the Green Grass. A record I've been listening to forever and still love is Pure Prairie League's first album:

I find myself returning to this set frequently.

If it's back on the market, I'll take the Paul Chambers/Wynton Kelly set. PM sent.

Disc 5 with Clifford Jordan and Freddie Hubbard...

It has been a very long time since I sat down and listened to Canyon Lady.

Great show-needless to say, it was right on time (again)!

Thanks to insights gained from this site and the Mosaic set, I've gone on a Sonny Clark Trio binge which has taken me to the Time trio recordings.

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

The Capitol Sessions is essential! Those single label collections tend to pay a healthy dividend over time. I started out digging the Ellington-related, Bobby Hackett, Mel Powell, Jess Stacy, and Joe Sullivan sessions, but over time really appreciated Eddie Miller and the rest of the Wingy Manone-Bob Crosby related entries.

When I first got this set, I was pretty pleased to get some Joe Marsala and Barney Bigard sessions with the great St. Louis trumpet guy Joe Thomas in vastly improved sound. Having dug the Cliff Jackson elements, now I'm very interested in the Rod Cless session(s) and a vocal session that features Aaron Sachs. A label retrospective like this is my favorite type of Mosaic box set other than the amazing Coleman Hawkins, Chu Berry, or Lester Young retrospectives. As a matter of fact it was the HRS set that really introduced me to Joe Thomas.

I listened to this one quite a bit when it came out and need to get it out again.

Thank you for sharing this-I was thinking that I could get remastered Okeh Ellington tracks via Ellington In Order but now have a better understanding of the licensing.

Thank you for posting this-it is right on time.

Some years back this one worked for me: price was outstanding and some selections filled gaps for me.
