tranemonk Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) Okay - Overall I give it a moderate thumbs up... I Discs 1 and 2 much better than three... Just started Disc 3.... coming down in my enthusiam a tiny bit.... Andrew Hill Solo Select - Disc 1... We'll see... Onto Disc 2 and I'm liking it a lot... Edited December 23, 2006 by tranemonk Quote
tranemonk Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 As I grade final exams... it's a Mosaic weekend... Onto Curtis Amy Select disc 3... It's funny when I first bought this set... I hated it... (Only gave it one listen and thought it had WAY too much organ...) I then gave it away.... After hearing some more raves on this board.. I decided my premature jettisoning of the set was wrong... Right now I'm digging it... So to all of you who plugged this set.... Thanks! Quote
sidewinder Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) it's a Mosaic weekend... Is it not for most weekends? Verve Flip Philips/Charlie Ventura disk 4. Great swing music from Philips with Harry Edison, Bill Harris and Billy Bauer. A 'sleeper' set, this one. Edited December 24, 2006 by sidewinder Quote
brownie Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Buck Clayton 'Complete Columbia Jam Sessions', disc 4 Quote
tranemonk Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 Just started the controversial Duke Pearson Select - Disc 3.... This is nasty.... I hope it gets MUCH better - FAST! Otherwise this puppy might be on it's way back to Stamford Ct..... Quote
jazzbo Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 ???? I think it's great stuff. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Quote
tranemonk Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 The background vocals on the 1st half of Disc 3 are killing me... I hate that stuff. (Same reason why I trashed the Dinah Washington set)... Now it's onto the Xmas part of Disc 3.. so far I'm liking this part.... ???? I think it's great stuff. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 I don't hear these the same as the Dinah set. Much hipper chorus here in my opinion. It didn't float my boat the first times I heard it, but I've come to really dig them. Quote
tranemonk Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 Finishing up Disc 1.. reverse order...Disc 2 didn't thrill me... but the 1st disc is good.. Overall I'm not sure... Ironically I thought the Xmas music was the best part of the set... I don't hear these the same as the Dinah set. Much hipper chorus here in my opinion. It didn't float my boat the first times I heard it, but I've come to really dig them. Quote
tranemonk Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) Okay just finished Disc 1... My attention got better...!! I like this set... (The drum snare thing kinda bugged me a little bit) Okay onto Disc 2... I think I like it... but I must be honest I'm kinda distracted.... Tony Williams Disc 3.... Didn't have any of these records... looking forward to it.. Big fan of Bill Pierce (local homie) and Mulgrew.... although I could do without Wallace Roney,,, Edited December 27, 2006 by tranemonk Quote
Soulstation1 Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Posted December 27, 2006 The quartet stuff on disc # 2 was nice Now playing Disc # 03 Quote
tranemonk Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 Onto John Patton Disc 3... (I'm doing some serious Mosaic catch up listening...! Quote
tranemonk Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 Randy Weston Select.. Discs 1 & 2.... Quote
A. Kingstone Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 I'm loving The Max Roach Box for the past while. Quote
tranemonk Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 Just switched to the MASSIVELY enjoyable NOW OOP Mulligan Concert Jazz Band set... Damn this is good... Much better than I remember... Quote
HolyStitt Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 Charles Lloyd Of Course, Of Course The first few times I played it I was disappointed that it didn't have the same energy as Discovery! This time, I am hearing the music with fresh ears and without any preconceived expectations. Now, I am really enjoying this CD! Quote
tranemonk Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 Slide Hampton Drum Suite... Way better than I expected.... Quote
