Dub Modal Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Disc 4 from the Basie/Young set. The mastering on these is remarkable. Freddie Green really shines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Don't have the set (no plans to buy it, I have to confess) -- but I do love that cover of the Joe Henderson box. Joe, arguably "over-lit" (overexposed?) like that -- with the almost lens flare quality of the light on his tenor, and other similar "hot" lighting on him, his glasses, the collar of his shirt, etc... -- all looks pretty damn badass, IMHO.

Bluesnik Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 One of my Mosaics I spin most. Now I'm with a beautiful trio session of Farlow with Claude Williamson and Red Mitchell. Drumless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tapscott Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Just finished listening through this great set (for the third time at least). 1 CD per day for 11 days. I find this this is the best way to listen to a very large set. It's goes without saying, but Duke had some truly astonishing musicians. Now something quite different.

Shrdlu Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Listening to a Lou Donaldson album got me to dig out the Horace Parlan Mosaic set. Horace had wonderful, pungent chord voicings and had a unique sound - instantly identifiable. He could really lock into a groove. The Mosaic set has a lot of trio tracks and two wonderful sessions with the Turrentine brothers. That was a superb quintet - it also recorded under Stanley's name. There is some very lively Grant Green on one of the sessions. While I think of it, check out Horace's solo on "Trees" on Roland Kirk's "I Talk With The Spirits" album. That album is where I first heard Horace. Horace's rich piano sound is very addictive. This set led me to revisit Dexter Gordon's "Doin' All Right" album. Horace adds so much to that session.

I agree very much with your assessment of Horace Parlan. He also made a great series of records for SteepleChase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrdlu Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 That Mulligan set IS good. In the cover photo, Gerry is using the Selmer "Jiffy" sling, which came up in a thread in the Musicians' Forum section. So easy to adjust: a simple pull up or down, and it doesn't slip. I have one, and it hasn't worn at all. I wish they still sold them. Before that, my sling was a horrible thing with metal balls on a wire and a spring catch.
