Vinicius de Moraes and Helo "The Girl from Ipanema" Pinheiro

I can see your point. . . but to be honest looking at that list I would myself have chose the artists they chose and omitted those they did for space reasons. I think the one artist I'd most want to see in this set and not included in Joe Marsala, but I do have this material and can understand their assessment. It's already a large set and something "had to give." I can't wait to have mine delivered! Mosaic likes to make me wait this decade. I order within minutes after the set goes to pre-order. . . and wait weeks while others enjoy theirs!

Revisiting this masterwork that has remained on my self unlistened to too long. 150×129 2.96 KB Mental Strain at Dawn: A Modern Portrait of Louis Armstrong, cd This an exceptional recording that it is hard to believe is over thirty years old now. Exciting, in my opinion innovative, and recorded in a manner that matches the material. Every soloist seems inspired. A precursor to Allen “Wild Man Genius” Lowe’s current releases. The drums are recorded big and hot, but that’s great because the drumming is excellent. And the lack of chordal instruments gives an open air march to the feel and sound. Alto Saxophone – Allen Lowe (tracks: 1-8) Bass – Jeff Fuller, Peter Askim (tracks: 9-10) Clarinet, Bass Clarinet – Paul Austerlitz Drums – Ray Kaczynski Mixed By – Allen Lowe, Steve Wytas Recorded By – Allen Lowe (tracks: 9-10), Katsuhiko Naito (tracks: 1-8) Remix – Allen Lowe Tenor Saxophone – Allen Lowe (tracks: 9-10), David Murray (tracks: 1-8), Loren Schoenberg (tracks: 1-8) Transcription By, Arranged By – Allen Lowe Trombone – John Rapson Trumpet – Doc Cheatham (tracks: 1-8), Robert Rumbolz Tracks 1-8 recorded April 19, 1992 at the Knitting Factory, NYC. Tracks 9-10recorded October 17, 1992 in New Haven, CT.

Grateful Dead “Friend of the Devils” seventh show, disc 1 Man oh man this “Fire on the Mountain” is BURNING! Jerry really came alive a the end of the first set and kept on shining.

A cool morning, quiet with heavy dew. After so many years in Texas, I love this weather deeply. Right now Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette “Somewhere” ECM cd

Some sides were issued. I don't know if Mosaic has any plans for incorporation. https://www.discogs.com/artist/341415-Boyd-Raeburn-And-His-Orchestra?page=3

That doesn't explain all the omissions. . . it's a challenge to curate this sort of set and also have a set that people can and will afford I think.

Mosaic is quoted on the first page of this thread as saying they are hoping to release a big band V-Disk set as well as a Benny Goodman V-Disc set.

Simon Moullier “Elements of Light” Candid cd

I don't have any other issue to compare it to, but this Muzak cd sounds spectacularly good, as do the others that I have from them. I would love to know what ADC and DAC etc. equipment they use . . . . Fantastic sound.

Another cool morning after a beautiful warm day. Fiona the dachshund is restless. I’m trying to relax. . . . Joining in on some “organ jazz” fun with the Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD of Baby Face Willette “Face to Face.” Sounds awesome. The system is just amazing me of late.

Nubya Garcia “The Source . . . Remixed” I’m still digesting the original but found this at a great price. Interesting! Will show off your system.

Abbey Lincoln “Over the Years” Gitanes cd

I saw that segment as well. I'm joining you. . . spinning a copy I have from my Dad's collection. . . this was among my Dad's favorite works.

Re: Pepper Adams I found this (easily, those here may have read this) on this page: https://richardvacca.com/tom-wilson-and-transition-records/ Other projects were recorded but never released. There was a Boston quintet co-led by tenor saxophonist Jay Migliori and trumpeter Tommy Ball; one track was issued on a sampler LP and the rest has yet to emerge. One track survives from a Dave Coleman date featuring baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams and violinist Dick Wetmore. A Paul Chambers session included Adams, John Coltrane, and trombonist Curtis Fuller. Complete session tapes have never surfaced.
