Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[tranemonk]

Bing Disc 2...

[tranemonk]

Disc 3...

Not a bad way to start Thanksgiving morning....! :cool:

Bing Disc 2...

[jeffcrom]

The George Lewis sessions from The Atlanic New Orleans Jazz Sessions. One thing I love about these Lewis recordings is that there are hardly any solos - when one horn takes the lead, the others will often keep playing secondary parts.

Bing Disc 6...

Have to say.. Overall I REALLY like this set.... :rolleyes:

[jazzbo]

Crosby.

I'm taking it in small doses because the instrumentation and approach is so consistent disc to disc. I really like it, but an hour at a time is more than enough.

Glad you're enjoying it TM. Now it's time to get the Armstrong.

[tranemonk]

On the 2nd go-around with Bing Disc 7....

and yes Jazzbo... I'm considering the Armstrong.... :o

The Lester Young/Count Basie Sessions, disc 3

[sidewinder]

Woody Herman Select, CD2. Good stuff !

[Tom 1960]

Randy Weston Mosaic Select - Disc 1

[mellowT]

Stanley Turrentine - Blue Note Quintet/Sextet Studio Sessions

I used to be bonkers over this set, but I unfortunately overplayed it (along with the Blue Mitchell set). It's been about a year and a half since I've listened to it all the way through.

Sweet!

[mellowT]

Roy Eldridge - Complete Verve Studio Sessions

Putting my 9-year-old to bed with Pretty-Eyed Baby and Jumbo The Elephant, by special request.

[sidewinder]

Dizzy Reece, CD3

Goes well with doing the university homework at 4am..

[tranemonk]

farmer/golson Jazztet Disc 2..

One of the better ones IMHO...

[tranemonk]

All this talk about Johnny Smith forced me to open this set...Disc 3....

:tup

and I like the new design by the way....

[John Tapscott]

Gerald Wilson Pacific Jazz Recordings

[Tom 1960]

Ditto on the above. Just finished listening to disc 1 and now onto disc 2. What a great collection of music so far. Thanks to ejp626(Eric) whom I recently purchased this set from. An excellent acquisition it seems.

Elvin Jones Blue Note Sessions Discs 3 & 4...

[six string]

I just received the Complete Monk at The It Club 4lp set a few days ago. I've only heard three sides so far but the music's great and the vinyl is free of defects and dead quiet. Even the occasional audience sounds are not disruptive. It adds a little of that "you are there" vibe to the music.

Tom, I have finished listening to the whole set for the first time in several years. You may have to swallow hard when you get to some of the pop tunes. They don't go down easy (at least with me). But I guess that's what big bands had to do in the late '60's/early 70's in order to survive (or get record dates). And all in all, Wilson does a pretty good job with them. Still, I consider them a blemish on an otherwise very good set.

Oscar Peterson Set Disc 2...

Love these extended tunes...

[jeffcrom]

The HRS set, which arrived yesterday. As some of you guys promised, the sound is much better than other issues of this material that I've heard. I'm looking forward to delving into some of the less familiar sessions.

[John Tapscott]

Dexter Gordon Select

[Matthew]

Oscar Peterson. Disk two. My first listen, as I bought this set this morning, and I love it. Great, swinging music. It made me order the Canadian box thingy.

[Ron S]

Liebman & Beirach Select

[ghost of miles]

Revisiting the Artie Shaw and finally listened to disc 6 of the Jazz Passengers set, which I've had for a couple of years. That's a very good/underrated set for straightahead 1960s hardbop.
