king ubu Posted April 24, 2008 Report Posted April 24, 2008 The Randy Weston Select - not into the prev. unreleased session on disc 2 - great great music! Hawkins wailing on Hi-Fly is just plain crazy!!! Quote
jazzbo Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 I love that Weston, just great music. Right now, Curtis Amy disc two. Again, a great set of music from top to bottom. Quote
John Tapscott Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Stan Kenton - '43 - '47 Capitol Sessions - I'm really enjoing the advanced (often very advanced!) writing of Pete Rugolo Quote
JohnS Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Jimmy Giuffre; disc 1. Just about to start on disc 2. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Been listening to the June Christy/Peggy Lee Complete Capitol Transcriptions set. I forget about this set for a while and when I pull it out I nearly always listen to the complete set. The Christy sides are great. As a warm-blooded guy I get the impression listening to June that she's a beautiful and sweet gal that you just want to protect and build a nest with. And then the Peggy sides come along and you all of a sudden want to hold the door to your convertible open to Peggy and go for a long cruise and end up with a steak and martinis by the ocean by candlelight. Ah! A great set. Quote

Ah! A great set. Hey Lonson - nice commentary, great sales pitch. You make me want to buy that set (which I will in any case when it gets to 'running low'). You should definitely be working for Mosaic A&R/Marketing. Edited May 4, 2008 by sidewinder Quote
jazzbo Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Well. . . since I've just retired I don't think I'll take that job yet. . . . It's a great set, you definitely should grab it when the time is right. Quote

paul secor Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Randy Weston Select - the Piano-a-la-Mode session Had this on a Jubilee LP when I was in college, & wore it out playing it on a bad turntable. Great record and great to be able to hear it again. Thanks to Mr. Weston for the music and to Mr. Cuscuna and Mosaic for making it available again. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Disc 1 A great set of music with a healthy dose of Harold Land and you can't go wrong. Quote
paul secor Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Randy Weston Select - the Little Niles session If anyone wants to hear a connection between Johnny Griffin's playing and Von Freeman's, listen to Johnny Griffin's solo on "Nice Ice". Quote
