Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?


Recommended Posts

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!

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!

:excited:

What's up with the silence about this one??? :unsure: :unsure:

I'm really enjoying this set... More than I thought I would... I'm digging Hamp's vocals... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Listening to Disc 1 of the Lionel Hampton set in my car...

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.
