YOWZAH!

enjoying looking at the Hall/Johnson/De Paris/Dickenson Mosaic (CD-version) that just arrived!

know much of the music already, but this does look nice, very nice!

the page with the cd-tracklists is a loose sheet, slightly smaller, put inside the booklet - was that how they presented their early CD-versions, with the booklet being just for the LP-version and thus they had to add an additional page?

That's exactly right about the slip-in page with the CD info; I have several of the early Mosaic CD editions.

You already know that there's some fabulous music on that set.

Yes, that's why I spent some $$ to get it (135$ to be exact... and it slipped through customs without trouble, luckily). I've got two early vinyls (Tina Brooks and Art Pepper), but then there's quite a gap... I think the next ones I have are in the 130s. From about the 150s/160s on I have most of what I wanted. But it's always a thrill when I get a chnce to grab another earlier one!

Listening to the newly acquired Mobley set, it sounds wonderful!!! But I also just received the new Ellington big band box set. Kid in a candy store=me!!! Very good night of listening ahead!

Duke Ellington Small Group Sessions, disc 4

[gslade]

Just started the new Ellington MD11-248

[Dharmafor1]

Chico Hamilton , starting with Satin Doll. Been listening to a lot of West Coast and it led me back to both Shelly and Chico. since I often put the Shelly Blackhawk sides on , I figured I'd zag this time instead of zigging, and I always forget how his chamber approach is such a nice departure from other dates of that time.

Jack Teagarden Roulette Sessions Disk #3

[sidewinder]

CDs 1 to 3

[brownie]

Hank Mobley BN Fifties Sessions, disc 1

[jazzbo]

The Lionel Hampton, it's lifting my mood.

[golfcrazy1984]

The Classic Artie Shaw Bluebird and Victor Sessions. ALL DAY. I've neglected it in favor of the Benny Goodman set for too long. Great set, and the sound is fine, but not like the Malcolm Addey remastered Benny Goodman set.

[brownie]

The Andrew Hill Solo Select, disc 1 (disc 2 will be next...)

[golfcrazy1984]

Classic Columbia and Okeh Benny Goodman Orchestra Sessions Disks 5-7 today. Being a lifelong Ellington and Basie fanatic, I am shocked how much I LOVE this whole box set. Benny is amazing and every incarnation of his band is TIGHT and SWINGIN'. I listen to this set often.

[Bluesnik]

the verve gerry mulligan concert jazz band sessions. it's very good with lots of big or medium band playing.

[miles65]

The Ellington Bigband Set disc V. Just a few highlights: Porto Rican Chaos, Cotton, Reminiscing In Tempo and Echoes Of Harlem

[golfcrazy1984]

I listened to a little Lionel Hampton (Hodges, and Benny Carter), Count Basie Roulette Studio Recordings (gotta love that SAXOPHONE section!) and a little Benny Goodman Sessions (Clarinade in particular). I am really looking forward to splurging on a new Mosaic set soon and have my eyes on a few that I missed out on as they went out of print.

[golfcrazy1984]

While doing some editing work on a book before a New Years gig I am listening to Dizzy Gillespie disk #2. St. Louis blues! They are cookin'! I will be spending some time listening to the new Ellington big set tomorrow, as I haven't been enjoying it as much as I thought. Am I being to nearsighted listening to Mosaic records exclusively? I really haven't listened to much else recently...

[brownie]

Don Pullen Select, disc 1

[golfcrazy1984]

The Complete Lionel Hampton Victor Sessions (1937-1941). Disk 1 (probably all disks today). This was the first set that I got after a Mosaic hiatus of a few years. Now I'm back to large orders, maybe I should ship them to the office....

[golfcrazy1984]

Duke Ellington Small Groups Disk 6. I return to this set often. This music is straight from the heart. Looking forward to spending more time with the Ellington big band set this week

I broke down and ordered several OOP Mosaics from Amazon sellers that I missed out on back in the day. Buck Clayton CBS Jam Sessions, HRS Sessions and The Classic Capitol Sessions (not sure why I didn't get them originally) I paid $75 for the Buck Clayton, $179 for the Capitol and $150 for the HRS... I know it's a chunk of change but this music's gonna be GREAT and I will be in Mosaic heaven for the next few weeks
