ghost of miles Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) I dipped pretty heavily into the Mosaic Mildred Bailey for my afternoon show today (the "classic jazz" Tuesday edition of the program), as I was paying tribute to the birth anniversaries of both her and Dexter Gordon. I inevitably pull out the Bailey set every several years for a thorough re-listening and ended up sending a note of appreciation to Scott, because I can't imagine any other label in the world ever issuing a Mildred Bailey collection done as well as this one was.   Edited February 27, 2018 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Discs 1 and 2. Disc 2 with Giuffre and Hall is particularly enjoyable for its nice easy swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 The Complete Vee Jay Paul Chambers Wynton Kelly ——- discs 1& 5  Even though Kelly isn’t especially original I don’t tire of these tracks even the wall2wall trios on discs5&6. Great uncomplicated music and just enough variety . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 5 hours ago, ghost of miles said: Some great music on this set . Fine in small doses , which in itself  it tricky to achieve given the length of some of the tracks. Too many medium tempo tracks and not enough high energy burners. Despite my reservations it’s a decent set but not one I’d grab if the house was on fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I had this set but sold it because of the reservations Clunky expressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Clunky makes some good points, especially that it should be listened to in small doses. I've kept it because, given that restraint, there's a lot of very good music there, and because it features some musicians that I don't have elsewhere in my collection.

ghost of miles Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I’ve listened only to disc 1 so far, and it was quite late at night, which ended up seeming like a perfect time for it. It does have the feel of a relaxed afterhours (or after-afterhours) get-together. I’ll probably listen to the other five discs in the same manner. I bought the set because I’ve been on a Buck Clayton jag of late and another board member was offering it at a very reasonable price... quite glad to have it. But I can see (or hear) how it might be a rather sleepy fit for others. A lot of beautiful playing, though, at least through disc 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
