Duke Ellington, COMPLETE CAPITOL RECORDINGS. Supposed to be a weak period for Duke, but I still love a lot of the material in this set.

Oh, there's some fabulous stuff there.

And there's also "Bunny Hop Mambo." (shudder....)

Woody Shaw Complete Muse, CDs 1 & 2. Predictably great set, in improved sound. Nice notes by Woody Jr. and first time I have heard the full 'Sun Bath' session. Great work, Mosaic !

Anita O'day------disc 8------

Love Anita , so glad I bought this just as it went OOP. For years I was pretty dismissive of vocal jazz in general but that's all changed now. I'm hoping Mosaic manage a Chris Connor Atlantic set. they've made some positive noises about this in the past .

I am curious about the "improved sound". Many years ago Joe Fields, owner of Muse, told me after running mixes of session tapes he had a studio willing to buy the multi-track tapes from him to bulk erase and use again.

So, my question is; are there real balance differences or just "modifications" of the 2 track tapes?

Not sure I can fully answer that one but to my ears there is more detail and depth present than on some of the old Muse and 32Jazz CDs I have.

Did a gig last night with a sax player who said he worked for Mosaic.

I asked him if there was anything new coming up, and he mentioned some James P. Johnson sides, and the Rosemary Clooney small group sessions 1956-61.
