jazzbo Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 Right. I have the Mosiac, also had the Blue Note but sold it years ago. (The sets have different transfers by different engineers and I prefer the Mosaic by a slight margin). I did however buy the Blue Note set for my dad after the Mosaic was out of print, and I'm listening to his copy. Such wonderful music! Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 JJ Johnson Mosaic Set Could be the best set ever Quote
paul secor Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 beats me why they included that tired Hawkins/Terry date Am I allowed to say that I really like that session? Please do. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 I like that one too. I've even kept the old single cd! Quote
king ubu Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 I played discs 1-4 of the Bud Shank set yesterday - lovely music, all of it interesting, and some parts of it very, very good! Looking forward a lot to playing disc 5 now, with Carmell Jones! Quote
Victor Christensen Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Nat King Cole, disc 5, I rarely listen to it, biggest Mosaic box so far (18 CD's), almost too much Vic Quote
kinuta Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Charles Mingus Complete Candid # 1. I had most of this on individual cds but the Mosaic sounds better to me. Quote
king ubu Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Over the weekend, the Louis Prima portion of the Prima/Manone set, and disc 1 of the Dizzy (+ related Verve dates by him). Now: the great Wingy Manone portion of the Prima/Manone, almost done with the final disc, the booze version of "I've Got a Note" is indeed fun, he he Quote
ssjazz Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Woody Herman Select My copy of this Select set arrived today. I remembered how much I had liked this band when I heard them live in '66 or '67. I had just one of these Phillips albums on LP at the time. I haven't had a turntable since about '90, and had heard only "Woody's Winners" in recent times. So I wasn't sure how much to trust my memory of this band. I had hesitated purchasing this Phillips set in case it didn't live up to my memory. My memory was right! Listening to disk 1, I think this will become one of my favorite Mosaic sets! Quote
ghost of miles Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Deep thought: I actually have the Mosaic phone number memorized. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Inspired by king ubu - Chambers/Kelly VeeJay - CD1 Quote
tranemonk Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 I've got them on speed dial on my cell... :unsure: Deep thought: I actually have the Mosaic phone number memorized. Quote
Matthew Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Art Pepper Mosaic Select. Very enjoyable. I starting to dig Pepper, a lot. Disk two this morning. This is really good stuff. Quote
Werf Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Art Pepper Mosaic Select. Very enjoyable. I starting to dig Pepper, a lot. Disk two this morning. This is really good stuff. It's either this or the Braxton for my next purchase. Quote

sidewinder Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 Shorty Rogers Atlantic/EMI Recordings - working through the CD set. Quote
tranemonk Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 Listening to Disc 1 of the Lionel Hampton set in my car... I'm liking it a lot... :cool: Not too much talk on the board about this one... :huh: Quote

sidewinder Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 Joe Pass Pacific Jazz, CD1. Nice to dig this one out again ! Quote
tranemonk Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 I'm on Disc 4 in the car.... What's up with the silence about this one??? :unsure: I'm really enjoying this set... More than I thought I would... I'm digging Hamp's vocals... :rolleyes: Listening to Disc 1 of the Lionel Hampton set in my car... I'm liking it a lot... :cool: Not too much talk on the board about this one... :huh: Quote
jeffcrom Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 Listening to Disc 1 of the Lionel Hampton set in my car... I'm liking it a lot... :cool: Not too much talk on the board about this one... :huh: Don't have the Mosaic set, but bought the RCA/Bluebird Complete set on LP when it came out in 1976. I think that Hampton's Victor recordings include some of the most amazing tracks from the era, as well as some of the most forgettable. But Dr. Jekyll is so good that I'll put up with Mr. Hyde. Quote
BruceH Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks to mmilovan: The June Christy part of The Complete Peggy Lee & June Christy Capital Transcription Sessions. June Christy Yaye! Me too! (Although I've also been listening to the Peggy Lee parts.) Quote
