kinuta Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Count Basie Roulette Studio Disc 7 This has been on my wishlist for some time! What are your thoughts on the sound quality? I would assume the band is killer! I will probably order it with the MJQ to save on shipping. THANKS! Well, I'll answer - the sound quality is very good. All the sessions were recorded in the mid-70's. The music is simply OUTSTANDING! I think this was Toshiko's most creative period. I have heard most of, if not all the band's releases on various labels since the RCA period, but nothing quite matches what's on this set, IMO. And yes, the band is superb. Edited to add: There are two live RCA sessions not on this Mosaic set - a 2 LP set recorded in Japan and 1 LP at Newport '77. I have them both, but I wish we could get them on CD. They are equally as good. Jazz Nut, I'm a huge fan of Toshiko Akiyoshi and of course I agree with John. Don't have the Mosaic but have all the music on other labels. Outstanding. I saw Toshiko and the band on NHK tv a few weeks ago and they were absolutely brilliant. Quote
