That's definitely one of my favorite Mosaic boxes, ever!

I guess too much music was committed to disc in too short a time, and after Granz sold to MGM and they god rid of Stuff, the recordings just lay in the archives ... glad they weren't lost, for sure! There's some marvellous music on the unreleased session with Jimmy Jones!

And Levy was a Chicagoan too, right? Or at least back then (the forties trio on the Progressive disc I just played previously to the Mosaic) he was well-known there?

I guess Jimmy Jones is pretty darn interesting, not always great, but when he's on, he's on to something!

The Eddie Johnson disc (the Nessa, that is), is ready to be played again too, after the recently revived thread. I like it a lot!

LPs 1, 2 ...

Welcome back, Guy. I assume you were one vacation (along with the rest of the French population).

I have been on a very prolonged vacation ever since I retired from professional duties... and enjoying it!
