golfcrazy1984 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Listening to the Woody Herman Columbia Recordings Disk VII. I am SO glad I got this set The vocals (which are plenty) are good and do not sound dated . Woody's clarinet and saxophone sound very good in this set, I am not a fan of his 60s (Philips recordings included) playing---his band was GREAT though. I am sure most on this board that wanted this set already have it, since it came out 5+ years ago. BUT if anyone is sitting on the fence and love big band music and great arrangements----all I can say is get it Chubby Jackson is a revelation. WOW. He is extremely propulsive! This set has FANTASTIC sound, another for Malcolm Addey (though I bet the source material was pristine). Haven't gotten to the booklet yet, but I bet it will be enlightening and enjoyable. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Disk XI of the 1932-1940 Duke Ellington big band set. Finally doing some intensive listening to this disk. Wonderful. The sound quality on this disk is stunning! Quote
king ubu Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Chubby Jackson is a revelation. WOW. He is extremely propulsive! Look for some of his own sessions! There's the OJCCD pairing a date of his featuring Mulligan with the Fantasy Mulligan quartet tracks, for instance. Also lately some yurpeen boots... on topic: wrapping up my Hill 63-66 listen with two gos through the session for "Compulsion" and two (or three - I'm in the middle of the first now) to the not-so-great session with Sam Rivers.

colinmce Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Got that one coming in the mail to me right now. I very much look forward to hearing it. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) The Complete Verve Johnny Hodges Mosaic. This is BEAUTIFUL music Listening to Zag Zig, Hodges is such a soulful player. Just pure from the heart. Do people play like this anymore???? PLAY THE MELODY PEOPLE Ok, ok, I'm all for going "out there" but it's nice to hear Hodges. I think "Fatha" Hines said you can do a lot of things with water; you can make beer, lemonade, coffee, but sometimes pure, cold water is the best. That's what Hodges was.

mikelz777 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 That Lou Donaldson set is a fine one. I haven't dug it out in a while, I'll have to make a point of giving it a listen. Right now, The Complete Clef / Mercury Recordings Of Oscar Peterson Trio Quote

Right now, The Complete Clef / Mercury Recordings Of Oscar Peterson Trio I have been on the fence about this one for a while....I have a lot of Oscar Peterson, and that's probably the reason I haven't gotten this. I'm sure when it goes to running low (if I haven't ordered it by then) I will get it. I do have the Ahmad Jamal set and love it, so time will tell about the Oscar Peterson set. Any thoughts on this set? (I'll check previous discussion). Enjoy listening to the set ! And the Lou Donaldson set is very enjoyable and Ray Barretto is quite the addition to the music Quote

And the Lou Donaldson set is very enjoyable and Ray Barretto is quite the addition to the music The Mosaic doubled my OP collection from 7 to 14. (I'm not counting "sideman" recordings.) To be honest with you, the only reason I have the Mosaic is because I found a copy that was only $6.96 delivered. (all 7 discs but no box/no booklet) Having said that, the music contained in the set is excellent and I'm very much enjoying it. If you already own a lot of him, there's probably not much of a reason to be in any hurry to go after this. OP is almost always excellent so this is more or less more of the same. There's still a seller on Ebay offering this set new/delivered for about $60.00. While I like Oscar, I'm not sure I'd even go for it at that price. It's agreat deal and great news for a lot of fans but my love for OP isn't really compelling enough for me to want to seek out more than I already have. I'm pretty certain this added to the 7 discs I already have will be the extent of my OP collection. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the set in any way. The performances are excellent and his vocals (sounding much like Nat King Cole) are a very welcome addition and adds nice variety to the set. I was already happy with what I had but this was a fantastic addition I couldn't pass up for $1.00/disc. Edited February 2, 2011 by mikelz777 Quote

Thanks for the info and your opinion on the set I would have jumped on the set at that price too!!! I got the Lou Donaldson for $39.99 with box and booklet, mint. I HAD to jump on it!!! (What a deal). I don't feel bad about getting a steal like that, Mosaic has gotten PLENTY of my money Quote
