John Tapscott Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 The Oliver Nelson just arrived! So Free For All, what do you (and others who have it) think of it? Eagerly awaiting a report. Quote
Shawn Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Stanley Turrentine - Mosaic Disc 1 (Comin' Your Way) next up will be the Horace Parlan Mosaic, going to listen to all these Turrentine/Turrentine/Parlan/Tucker/Harewood sessions back to back. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 'Exercising' the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Complete Solid State CD set whilst doing a bit of cooking. CD1 of this set gets my award for the most perfect Mosaic CD. It's perfectly paced, with a track order which just can't be beaten. Put it on deck and enter another world. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Thad Jones/Mel Lewis CD2 ( ) The Roy Eldridge will be going on later in the day. Quote
tranemonk Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Buddy Rich Discs 2 and 3... Actually enjoying it quite a bit... Some of the drum solos are unneccessary but some are also nice... Quote
paul secor Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Sidney Bechet Select - disc one This, along with some solo Earl Hines, has made for some intense listening recently. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Hank Mobley LP set, disk 5 - the 'Hank' session. Quote
LAL Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Earlier: Discs 1 - 3 of the Kid Ory set. Quote
Kalo Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Listening straight through the Dizzy Reece Select. I'm near the end of disc 3 and still loving it. Quote
king ubu Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Making my way slowly through the great Anita O'Day set I played this one on Sunday: Great! I am not sure I can hear the "competitive" spirit between Ms. Anita and OP, but I sure enjoyed this one! But then I can't help but preferring the guitar solos over the OP virtuoso stuff, most of the time... ***** Also played disc 1 of the Basie Clef/Verve later - very nice! Quote
Ken Dryden Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I just got through with the Sidney Bechet Mosaic Select box, with a review due in the April issue of All About Jazz-New York. Next on the playlist: either the Basie, Nelson, Mulligan (Mosaic Select) or Rich box, depending upon my mood. Quote
woofy Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 The entire Turrentine set. Twice. Just received it yesterday, edition #2215 if anyone is counting. Quote
LAL Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Kid Ory - disc 4 (there's a certain sameness to discs 2-4, with the same musician line-up, but still very good music) Quote
Kalo Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Kid Ory - disc 4 (there's a certain sameness to discs 2-4, with the same musician line-up, but still very good music) So you weren't kidding! (I mean you were, but you weren't... ah, you know!) Quote
Head Man Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 The Oliver Nelson just arrived! So Free For All, what do you (and others who have it) think of it? Eagerly awaiting a report. I've had mine for about a week now but I've only managed to play it right through once. First impressions are: 1) it is up to Mosaic's usual high standards for presentation and sound quality. 2) Of his own recordings I seem to prefer the two earliest dates - Full Nelson (Verve) & Fantabulous (Argo). Perhaps that's because they are the ones where he actually plays alto/tenor sax instead of just conducting/arranging. 3) The Kennedy Dream (Impulse) sounds so much better than my original vinyl that it could be a different recording! 4) I don't think the Shirley Scott album - Roll-em (Impulse) is going to grow on me 5) The Pee Wee Russell album - The spirit of '76 (Impulse) is lovely. I have never heard him play before, having always associated his clarinet playing with Dixieland Jazz which I'm not keen on. However his playing with the big band is absolutely stunning and has meant that I will be investigating other recordings of his. 5) There is probably too much Jimmy Smith in the set but it does sound so very good, if perhaps a little too familiar. If you like other of his albums or you just want to upgrade existing vinyl then I don't think you will be disappointed with the set Quote
