Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

Disc three of the Ellington Capitol. The biggest surprise is a version of "In the Mood" that I actually like.

The Buddy de Franco/Sony Clark Verve box, LP 5

[jeffcrom]

Ellington Capitol, disc 5. This is a strange set. There's some brilliant stuff here, but also lots of pretty lousy tracks. Ellington and/or Capitol were trying hard for a hit record, with sometimes regrettable results ("Bunny Hop Mambo," for instance). I'm really glad to to have this set, but some tracks will seldom get played again.

The Lester Young/Count Basie Sessions 1936-1940, disc 1 (and 2)

Going to crack open the Chu Berry with a beer tonight.

Cracked open my new Amos Milburn Aladdin set - disc 1 right now!

I don't listen to that one enough. Bought it just before it went OOP.

bought it last Friday, got it on Wednesday and have played four of seven discs already - new record, for sure!

Good stuff ! Art Hodes can wait another year, I guess. Same with the Commodores Vol 2 & 3 for me. Got to pace yourself with Mosaics.

Playing discs 5-7 of the Amos Milburn now - love it!

Sure, I will most likely take it in small doses in the future (and I'll want to listen while reading up the sessions one day, too... just read the introductory essay so far).

Johnny Mercer Select, disc 3

[Sundog]

The Complete Blue Note Horace Parlan Sessions

[paul secor]

Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions - disc 2 - Nappy Lamare, Eddie Miller, Ray Bauduc, Marvin Ash

I was a bit wary before I listened to these sides, but I found there was a fair amount to enjoy, even if I wouldn't classify any of it as classic.

Jack Teagarden Complete Roulette Sessions, disc 3

[king ubu]

Enjoying the Benny Goodman Capitol Small Group that I had in the mail today!

Haven't started playing the music yet, but around a third is familiar from the Capitol Trios, In Hi-Fi and BG Story Reissues. Good to have it all now! Again, new set (no # in the booklet, the box a bit damaged, but got it for a good price so I won't complain!)

[jeffcrom]

Ellington Capitol, disc four. Now that I've listened to the whole set, I'll usually be skipping some of the lesser tracks. I still can't get over "Bunny Hop Mambo."
