Now listening to the Sal Salvador sets on Discs 7 & 8. You know that vocalists are not really my 'thing' (I much prefer instrumental jazz), but the Johnny Hartman session is very, very good. This is one of those Mosaic sets where the individual sessions seem to sound better as part of the whole set, rather than on their own. I can't explain why that should be, but it's true for a few other Mosaics as well, the Elvin Jones set , for example. I have the Elvin Jones SHM-CDs and I think these albums stand on their own pretty well, though the excellence of the new remasters might be a factor in this. It is just that the later Blue Note albums aren't as good as Puttin' It Together, The Ultimate, Poly-Currents, Coalition, and Genesis. I never enjoyed the Lighthouse albums. Perhaps I should listen to them again. Edited June 10, 2017 by erwbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nelson Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Exactly. Those five Elvin Blue Notes above are the ones on my shelf. 'Lighthouse' was workmanlike and never impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr jazz Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hutcherson Mosaic select set. Only disc 1 so far but I like what I hear-Woody Shaw in his own magical place with excellent support. Entertaining notes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazztrain Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 2 hours ago, Captain Howdy said: The Complete 1936-1940 Variety, Vocalion and Okeh Small Group Sessions This song is a real hoot; not something I'd ever guess was an Ellington tune. Perhaps that's because it is not an Ellington tune. It was recorded at least three times in 1939 -- by Barney Bigard (June 8), by Cab Calloway (July 17), and by Leo Watson (August 22). The composer credits on these versions are to Irving Mills, Buck Ram, and, in some cases, Cab Calloway. The tune is actually based on a much older Yiddish tune.

Bluesnik Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 A real treasure trove. At least for me. Lots of good guitar. There's even one (actually two, recorded on succeeding days) West Coast Jazz meets Tal Farlow session, with Bob Enevoldsen, Bill Perkins and Bob Gordon on the horns.
