jeffcrom Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 My birthday present from my wife arrived today - the Jimmie Lunceford Decca box. Disc 1 is on right now. The band was still finding its way into its own style in 1934; good, but I'm looking forward to '35 and '36. Quote

miles65 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 BG Classic Columbia and Okeh Sessions disc 2 (played disc 1 earlier this evening). Just love this band. "Benny rides again" is one of my Goodman favorites. Quote

LAL Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Past few days: All 7CDs of the Complete Woody Herman Columbia 1945-47 set ~ Really struggled trying to understand the sessions notes, so ended up skimming through. The music speaks for itself though. Quote
colinmce Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 I'll put this here as this is where the set has been most discussed. I've been spinning Jeffcrom's old Lunceford Decca/GRP discs and have found that while I love the band's sound-- the harmonic sophistication of Ellington plus the small-group drive of Basie, to make a rather obvious comparison-- I've found the vocals to be just awful. And it's not that I'm not acclimated to the singing of the day but I find that this is crooning at it's worst. And maybe it's just these discs, about 45 songs total vs 100+ on the Mosaic, but there are a LOT of them. Not sure if this is the case with the box set. Thoughts? Quote

I've got the Big Band set, and yes there are vocals (not sure on the exact number) but I think the music more than makes up for it. The set that annoys me is the Mosaic Lionel Hampton Box set, I cannot stand Lionel's voice. I have been really digging the Anita O'Day set. Great music, fantastic bands, and really, Anita is in my top three jazz vocalists of all time (1. Billie Holiday 2. Ella 3. Anita). I was too young/poor to afford it back when it timed out, as I had to have "Mosaic priorities" and was really excited when I found a sealed copy on eBay recently. This will be a set that will NOT get old. Quote

golfcrazy1984 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 Sam Rivers, Disk 2, "When I Fall in Love" Beautiful, empathetic playing from all involved. Great music to relax to on a Friday evening. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 Lee Morgan Mosaic Disk #4 Night in Tunisia, and Lover Man so far. Lee Morgan is really one of the most creative trumpet players, it's really cool to hear him come into his own through the 4 disks. Really diggin' the late 50s bop/hard bop these days... Quote
