tranemonk Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Max Roach Plus Four Sessions... Disc 1... I hestitated a long time on this one... but so far so Quote
Parkertown Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Jazz Crusaders set. This is just real nice...right up my alley...post hard-bop. And last nite: Miles' 5-tet 1965-68 10 Lp set. These two and the Turrentine Mosaic were Valentine's Day gifts from my incredible, beautiful wife. And wealthy - 3 Mosaic big boxes for Valentines Day. What did you give her? MG She went way, way overboard... I got her a Valentine-y necklace and earring set. A gift certificate to her favorite day spa. A dozen red roses, arranged. And dinner out at Maggiano's. I'm trying to hold back a bit cuz she want's a new car... Quote
kh1958 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 The Complete Blue Note Elvin Jones Sessions. No one could replace Coltrane, but Joe Farrell is rather impressive as one listens through this set. Quote

sidewinder Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Max Roach Disc 4... I have to say I'm finding this shockingly excellent... !!! I did not expect this... (both quality and sound!!) Yes, this is a really good one. I've also found the sound to be more than OK and the Booker Little/George Coleman material in particular is magnificent ! Quote
Tom 1960 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Disc 1 Hot damn! This arrived today and I'm very excited. All the hype that been heaped on this set, lives up to the billing. Thanks to all who recommended this set. Quote

tranemonk Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 2nd spin on McCoy Select Discs 1 & 2... Enjoying it much more this time around.... Quote
Tom 1960 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Disc 2 Man, is this a great set or what? Money well spent. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Nice afternoon with Sonny Stitt - Roost sessions discs 7-9 MG Quote
mikelz777 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Inspired by an earlier post and because I haven't listened to this in a long time. It's even better than I remembered! This set is awesome. I was pleasantly surprised by Tubby Hayes on the first disc. It makes me want to check out a little more of him. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) I agree with you 100%, Mikelz777. Tubby Hayes is definitely someone I'm going to further explore also. Not unlike the great job Harold Land did on the Carmel Jones set. Right now: Disc 3 What a dynamite set! How come this guy wasn't more well known? I'm incredibly glad I bought this set. In addition, since I've now become alot more familiar with Stanley Turrentines work featured in the 2 above sets, his 5 cd set on Mosaic is now on my radar screen. Maybe in another month..

mikelz777 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 I'm a big fan of the Stanley Turrentine set. Just look at some of the personnel: Blue Mitchell and Lee Morgan on trumpet; Curtis Fuller on trombone; Sonny Clark, Horace Parlan and Cedar Walton on piano; Shirley Scott on organ; Kenny Burrell on guitar. I was also very impressed with his brother Tommy Turrentine on trumpet. I'm a Mr. T fan and his Mosaic was well, well worth the investment. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 It sounds like a great set Mike. Thanks for your thoughts. I too am quite impressed with Tommy Turrentine owning a few releases where he's featured as a sideman for both Sonny Clark and Jackie McLean. Quote
king ubu Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 I finally got started really digging into the chubby Mildred box... great stuff! I'm only halfway into disc 2 but this looks like a great box. One of the most thorough booklets I've yet seen, not just documenting/annotating the sessions but filling in the gaps and actually providing a timeline of all those years. About time I come to listen to it, I picked it up when it went OOP... Quote
tranemonk Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) now Disc 2... so far I like it... Disc 1 Oliver Nelson.... Don't hear too much talk about this one ... Edited February 24, 2007 by tranemonk Quote
