Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[John Tapscott]

[alankin]

Count Basie and His Orchestra – Breakfast Dance and Barbecue [CD 1a (set one) from The Complete Roulette Live Recordings] (Roulette Records / Mosaic)
— With Marshal Royal, Frank Wess, Frank Foster, Billy Mitchell, Charlie Fowlkes / Thad Jones, Joe Newman, Wendell Culley, Snooky Young, Harry "Sweets" Edison / Al Grey Henry Coker, Benny Powell / Basie, Freddie Green, Eddie Jones, Sonny Payne / Joe Williams /  arrangers: Jones, Foster, Nat Pierce, Neal Hefti, Ernie Wilkins; includes much previously unissued material; live at The Americana Hotel, Miami, FL, 1959

   

I was lucky enough to find a used (or as they say, "pre-owned") set missing the box (but including the booklet) for a reasonable price.  (Now if I could only do the same for the Roulette studio sessions box!)

caught a bad cold last week and have been in bed for the weekend and today (and tomorrow, alas) - making use of the time to spin the 1964-66 McLean sessions in chronological order (including the four Lee Morgan ones) - still as wonderful as when I first discovered these recordings, almost 20 years ago

[Tom 1960]

The Anita O'Day--I remember saying to a friend in the late 1990s, "I wish Mosaic Records would do an Anita O'Day Verve set," and a couple of years later one came out.  (Nothing to do with my wish, of course... just a happy turn of events.)  Great singer, great era for her on record.

I bought my O'Day set from Scott in person. Great set - will have to give it another spin. 

Yesterday spinning Anthony Braxton 'Complete Arista' CD2. From Scott Joplin to Eric Dolphy and points well beyond..

I got mine as a Last Chance . Perhaps the best bought on the spur of the last  moment . Don't play it too often but when I do I absolutely love it.

I found a used copy of the The Complete Atlantic Studio Recordings of The Modern Jazz Quartet 1956-64!  I can't wait to sink my teeth into it!!!

I should pick that up whenever it becomes available again. Some of his best work was on Muse.

Thanks, but I don't think it's OOP. The Mosaic website says "This set is on backorder and is expected to be available late 2016"

I got this new the other day, although it's already sold out at Mosaic. Very good. I like piano trios but also, and even better, piano, guitar, bass, as is the case in most of these sessions with the great Barney Kessel.

CD6 - 'Glass Bead Games'. Outstanding !
