golfcrazy1984 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Complete Jimmie Lunceford Sessions Disk 4, I am really digging the musicianship and sound quailty that Andreas Meyer got on this set. I am really wondering what is going on with the Coleman Hawkins box set??!?! But I just got the shipping notice that the Chu Berry set will be mine soon!!! I can't wait. Quote

Clunky Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Jimmie Lunceford- disc 3. Sound better than could reasonably be expected and so much better than LP transfers of this material that I have. Quote

Well, this is the first spin for me after receiving this in the mail from a fellow board member. I'm enjoying what I'm hearing and quite happy to have made the purchase. The personnel on these dates, top notch. Quote

golfcrazy1984 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 Love the Basie Clef/Verve set! Especially the small group sides I have been listening to a little of the Ahmad Jamal set and a little of the Roy Eldridge set. I feel lucky to have this music! The Jamal is so classic, and of course the drive of Little Jazz, I am feeling inspired! Quote

golfcrazy1984 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Complete 1936-1940 Ellington Small Groups, great stuff Don't know why, but I've listed to "Night Song" 10 times in a row, just something about Cootie muted trumpet foiled by the reeds. Perfect tempo, kinda bittersweet song. I know this was a pop tune back in the day (or at least covered by several different bands) so some research is needed... Quote
JSngry Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Gerald Wilson, a secret treasure trove of Harold Land & Teddy Edwards solos! Quote
miles65 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Jimmie Lunceford disc 1. Great music and sound. Hope this sets sells well enough to make a Victor/Columbia set possible. Quote

It would be wonderful if Mosaic had more planned! Listening to The Buck Clayton Jam Sessions box set, not in order, but a song here a song there. About the only recording that I know of that Charlie Fowlkes soloed on! Other than a Frank Wess date in the late 50s. Quote
LAL Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Duke Ellington Small Groups, disc 1 then 2 Quote
miles65 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Jimmie Lunceford disc two. Imo Duke had better compositions en more interesting soloists but what a band :tup That saxophone section is like a Swiss clockwork. Quote

Imo Duke had better compositions en more interesting soloists but what a band :tup That saxophone section is like a Swiss clockwork. Well said I've never heard the sax section compared to Swiss clockwork, but it's SO true!!! I play in a band that performs original Lunceford charts, and the saxophone solis are incredibly intricate and difficult! But they sound so natural and flowing on the recordings.
