Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

[Justin V]

Disc 7

[Jim Duckworth]

I listened to discs six and seven-with Roy Eldridge, Dodo Marmarosa, and Barney Kessell.  I must confess, however, that I've been listening to alot of Woody Herman the last few weeks, and I found myself missing some of the entertainment I find in the music of the Herds,  As Uncle Dave Macon said about Earl Scruggs, "He ain't a bit funny."

Been meaning to revisit that one (the first Mosaic I ever purchased).

Always a lot to chew on in this one:

It wasn't my first, but it was an early one. Interesting that there seems to be a resurgence of interest in Andrew lately. Especially regarding all the new vinyl BN reissues.

I never got that Braxton box. Sorry I missed out. Will hopefully be able to see him at the Big Ears Festival in March, though.

A set I love, because I like small group swing very much. And I never enjoyed it like today.

Just finished disc I Woody Herman 1943-1954. Nice arrangements. I allways have to revise my opinion on Woody's clarinet playing. It's Always better than I remember. But not on par with Goodman or Shaw. Ben Webster's solos are great but to short. Best track: Crying sands.

The sound seems quite good—mostly it was just a pleasure to revisit those two 1963 albums (coupled together on disc 1), which I think Blumenthal rightly contends are in some ways a continuation/culmination of Mobley’s 1960-61 albums. Just got back from the new Star Wars movie and am contemplating a late-night spin of disc 2.

Thanks for that - looking forward to this set even more !

Disc 3 of the new Mobley right now, after having listened to disc 3 of the new Herman earlier. So nice to have fresh Mosaics in the house the Sunday before Christmas!

Disc 4 of the new Mobley Mosaic. Still crazy to think that A Slice Of The Top stayed on the shelf for 13 years before being released.

Slice of the Top is my #1 favorite Mobley leader-date. Great in every way: writing, arranging, ensemble-work, soloing, complete with Lee Morgan — what’s not to love!!

Really enjoying this set.

Tal Euro-Mosaic, CD2

There’s a great little bio of Tal in the booklet. Sounds like a great, well-grounded and friendly guy as well as being a guitar genius.

Taking a break from Tubby Hayes set with Discs 5 & 6 from JJ Johnson Columbia Small Group Sessions.

Brilliant set in stunning sound.

Arrived here on Tuesday from Jazz Messengers in Barcelona. My wife loves it. I'd enjoy it even more were there more solos by other besides Satchmo.
