Newly arrived and now playing!

Listening to Disc 6. It's amazing to hear him stretch out on these sessions!

I just acquired this set with the CDs still sealed. I had most, but not of all the tracks.

Disc 7, which is the 1995 Columbia album Makin’ a Move.  I’m sure Threadgill-Ellington comparisons are a dime a dozen and beside the point, but if somebody told me to name someone whose artistic/compositional achievements over the past 50 years occupy a realm of significance similar to Ellington’s, Threadgill would come to mind.

That's too much sugar for a dime.

Listening to Charles Tolliver sent me scrambling for this one.

I really enjoy this Mosaic. Even though the individual albums arguably aren't great, it's an excellent package.

Sal Salvador was a big discovery for me here, very nice selections.

Listening to the Moncur select and finding I have two copies of disc one. I remember there being some cock up but can anyone remind me why the disc had to be reissued? I have searched and can’t see an explanation.

Great set but a shame only part of ‘Bout Soul included.
