Revisitred the Clare Fischer tracks from this, which are really outstanding!

In addition, one disc per day from this box:

I find the Atlantic New Orleans box to be very enjoyable - with the rationed doses. Good set of music which I otherwise would have missed on.

Fully agree - one disc per day is perfect!

I especially enjoy the no-nonsense sound of these recordings. The engineers succeeded in taking you right there.

This tunred out to be one of my favourite sets, especially the tracks with pianists Fischer, McCann, or Wofford. And I remember how long I hesitated and ordered a copy at the last minute.

LP1 - featuring the great Edmond Hall Celeste Quartet ‘Profoundly Blue’ tracks.

I started to do the exact same-working my way to the Punch Miller set, but I got sidetracked after disc 1 (actually just the Young Tuxedo Brass Band).  Thanks for the reminder!

I recently realized that this was more valuable than I thought. Jackie McLean's "Hipnosis", which I love very much, is only available on CD here after all.

Disc VI with the Capitol Jazzmen. Some rare Jimmie Noone on clarinet. And of course, Big T.

 

[Jim Duckworth]

Disc 4 with Billy Butterfield, Cootie Williams, Mel Powell, Sid Catlett may well be the best band Benny Goodman ever had.

Disc 3

I panicked when I saw on Mosaic's website that it was out of stock as they are changing warehouses and ordered a copy from Jazzmessengers on Sunday. It arrived here today at noon - fastest delivery of a Mosaic box ever!

This is one of my favorite Selects. And it's #1, so it all started here. And I love the Hutcherson, Moncur, McLean combination, which here comes to the fore so strongly.

One of the last remaining used cd/vinyl stores near me just got a whole bunch of jazz dumped on them in the past month from some collector in the area...among the treasure trove were 4 Mosaics in excellent shape- the Duke Ellington Reprise set, Buck Clayton jam session, Jack Teagarden set and Jackie Mclean sessions.  I picked up the the Ellington and the Clayton .... $65 for the both of them! Enjoying the heck out of the Ellington right now, never heard this stuff before.

Desmond 75 set-disc one. While hardly groundbreaking, the standards are very well played. My wife loved it-big bonus.

I'm in heaven here. As I like so much Small Group Swing.

Heads up! Fourteen sets for sale HERE!
