Guest Bixieland Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Buddy Rich Disc 1.. It seems like I'm the only one on the board who bought this and routinely plays it.... :o and onto Disc 2..... I was so close to getting this set -- then the Armstrong set came out! Currently, it's fighting for the on-deck circle with the Goodman and the Stitt and possibly the Oscar Peterson. It all depends on when the funds arrive and what mood I'm in, and lately -- what's in stock! Rich was a freak of nature, a prodigy...I very, very much want this set!!!

tranemonk Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 there's also an excellent consistency to this set... With 80% of my Mosaics (esp. sets with 6 or more discs) I tend to feel like they could've left some stuff in the can... But this whole package is outstanding...!

I don't care if I'm alone on this one.. but still reminds of what Glenn Close might sound like as a jazz singer... now Disc 5 You are clearly not alone on this one. I have read a lot of positive posts on this set from other board members on the O'Day set. And if you feel a bit isolated, how should I feel now...listening to the Mildred Bailey set? CD2. Very enjoyable stuff. Edited April 4, 2009 by ASNL77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Went back to the full set... Disc 1.. The full Mosaic box is IMHO much better than the Select... In Memory of...

ssjazz Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Enjoying Gerry Mulligan Select disk 3. I was surprised that I like the "Stringtime" material. Especially "Out of Nowhere". Gerry Mulligan Select Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Played almost the entire Columbia Small Group set over the past few days. Some pretty nice, some nice and some pretty drab stuff... beats me why they included that tired Hawkins/Terry date but then omitted the Burrell sessions with Leo Wright (maybe they thought Wrights intonation was even worse than Hawkins' tiredness? Not even Terry sounds good on that date!) I think the best of it may be the Ruby Braff session, some great playing there, for sure! This won't be a favourite box here, but it's nowhere as bad as regretting to have it (don't write PMs, I'll not sell...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bixieland Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 The Columbia set is nice. Glad I got it. I would describe it as chock full of variety -- and all the sessions are upbeat with so much great talent sprinkled throughout. I forget which sessions I like/dislike...most were good. I only remember a few tracks not doing much for me (Lou Donaldson, perhaps? - though I'll probably like them next time! I'm like that.) :blush2: Overall -- good set, with superb sound quality. I can't think of very many black boxes that don't have a few so-so tracks. That said, I can understand why it's "Last Chance." They're probably letting the lease expire, rather than print another run. There's more "important" and/or better selling sets that need to back in print!

The one that is soon to go OOP, at least according to the last e-mail from True Blue, it's on "Last Chance" alert. :rcry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
