king ubu Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Now: Oliver Nelson, disc 3 (the Lunceford song with Shirley Scott is great!) disc 4 - the Kenney stuff is weird, but now Russell is wailing! (Well, stuttering, muttering...) Went straight to the end with it yesterday - great one! The album with Pee Wee Russell is a highlight! The organ stuff with Smith is great, that very first number off "Bashin'" is amazing! How it builds with the big band and lays out a mostrously grooving carpet for Smith to enter - and then, BANG! here he is! Still I regret a bit having bits and pieces of various albums... (at least I have that Ray Brown/Milt Jackson twofer to complete that album, and of course also "Bashin'" - of the Smith/Wes material I only have the VME of the first album, never had the second...)

blajay Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Herbie Nichols--Complete Blue Note, Side V He really was the bridge between Monk and Andrew Hill I needed. But he is also so much more than that. One tune he'll flash through complex runs I had only heard in bop from early Bud Powell, and the next he's trudging around some minor beat like Monk. If only he hadn't died so young... Quote

thomastreichler Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 J.J. Johnson: The Complete Columbia Small Group Sessions (discs 1 and 2) This is beautiful music: superbly arranged by J.J. (he is one of the masters of small group arranging, his charts for two horns and rhythm are nothing short of perfect), flawlessly executed and always swinging. This is music you can lsiten to again and again. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Not one of mine. Really? What don't you like about it, jazzbo? Quote
jazzbo Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 I don't DISLIKE it, but I'm not over the hill excited about as many here seem to be. It just doesn't do "that" for me. That's cool, I like it, I've listened to most of these albums over the years with interest and the set is a very good one. . . but not one of my very favorite Mosaics. Quote
BillF Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Oliver Nelson: Shirley Scott, Ray Brown/Milt Jackson and Sound Pieces sessions. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Farmer/Golson/Jazztet Mosaic - Discs 2, 3 and 4. I have to say I'm quite impressed with this set so far. I've never been a big fan of Art Farmer in the past owning a few sessions where he's featured as a leader and sideman. Never real did it for me. Well, having gone through the first 4 discs my opinion has dramatically changed. His playing on this set has been a real relevation for me. Top notch stuff. I expected great stuff from Benny Golson and he certainly doesn't disappoint here, but Art has been a real pleasant surprise for me. Loving the heck out of this set so far. Oh yeah, really digging Grachan Moncur's playing on disc 4. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Disc 5 of the above set features The Art Farmer Quartets. Quote
B. Clugston Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 Onzy Matthews Select. Disc 1. One of the great lost albums. Quote

Must admit - I was surprisingly less than 100% knocked out on first listen to this set but after a few more listens it really got the feet tapping and appreciation of the set increased enormously. Acoustics are very good too. Quote
