This is a not-so-popular Mosaic, but I've listened to the whole thing twice fairly recently and it's really grown on me.

Absolutely essential, IMHO.

It’s always been popular in this admittedly Hoosier-partisan household. Prime JJ, and excellent notes by Loren Schoenberg as well.

The drummers alone!!!

Lot of Bobby Jaspar on the J J set, too.  I wasn't referring to aesthetic merit (whatever that is), but to the fact that J J seems to trade for rather low prices (e.g. discogs).

Now on Farmer/Golson

Cecil McBee - a tremendous bass player.

Outstanding set. I got the Slugs' albums way back in the 70's and have always been favorites. 

McBee, Tolliver and many others will both be at the NYC Winter JazzFest tribute to Strata-East in a few weeks. Really looking forward to that show!

Indeed .... one of the most important bassists of the 70's ....

The Vanguard set. Disc 6. I was underwhelmed by the first 2 discs. i can't put my finger on it why. Sir Charles Thompson has a good session. Joe Newman session great. Buck Clayton never disappoints me. Neither does Jimmy Rushing. Sound quality is great.

I've been listening to the discs in order, twice each, up to disc IV. All this Vanguard material is familiar to me, and I LOVE it, but the sound here is TOPS.
