John Tapscott Posted June 19, 2016 Report Posted June 19, 2016 First Mosaic set I ever bought. (Please don't ask how many I've bought since!). These LP's still sound terrific. Quote
John Tapscott Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 A magnificent, full-out 5 star set. For me it ranks up there with the Thad-Mel Mosaic set. Quote

Scott Weaver Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 Actually I am thinking of buying the Earl Hines and James P. Johnson Mosaic boxes. I am moving and sold all of my vinyl and now I don't have any of their music. I used to have the Time-Life Giants of Jazz box sets for these two guys and they were pretty darn good. Does anyone else have these Mosaic boxes and if so, how are they? I know ASV Living Era have compilations that are supposed to be good but they are a lot less music. I would like to feature their music on my Monday night "early jazz" show on my internet radio station. Quote

sidewinder Posted August 21, 2016 Report Posted August 21, 2016 Bobby Hutcherson Mosaic Select, CDs 2 and 3 Quote
mikeweil Posted September 11, 2016 Report Posted September 11, 2016 Disc two - disc one has a one inch crack from the center! Quote
mikeweil Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 The Hawk has landed - the sound on the Fletcher Henderson sides is stunning! Hard to believe some of these sides were recorded ninety years ago, Quote
Bluesnik Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 Spurred in interest by another recent thread here I pulled out this box and was reminded of how much I enjoy fifties Mobley. And the company he kept. Quote

Mosaic sent a replacement disc - everything's fine now, and the music is great. Wasn't aware that the Duke recorded some real jive stuff as the last session on disc two. I often enjoy the small groups more than the big band stuff. Quote
sidewinder Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 CD3 - X-75 Vol 1 and 2. Sounds as if it might have been influenced by some of Mingus' Debut work. Quote
mikeweil Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Never got to the Teagarden tracks until today ... ..... he was a very good, entertaining singer, too. Quote
