J Larsen Posted May 17, 2007 Report Posted May 17, 2007 Miles Davis Complete in a Silent Way Sessions record 2 - this set still has a strange sound quality to me. It is a little flat and lacking oomph - maybe getting a couch in the living room this weekend will help, but the effect is far more pronounced on this set than on my other records. Quote
Face of the Bass Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Today I made a Mosaic purchase that I believe will forever change my life. I bought the Django Reinhardt set, and by early next week I will be sitting back, pretending I am listening to it in a smoky Paris cafe while reading Sartre. Quote

sidewinder Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 That Django set seems to have been in print forever. Currently spinning Count Basie 'Complete Roulette Studio Recordings', LP2. This one and the 'Live' box will be in heavy rotation this weekend. Timeless ! Quote
sidewinder Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Thad Jones & Mel Lewis LP3. Fabulous set. The improvement in sound over the original Solid States is very significant. Love the booklet too ! Quote
tranemonk Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Can we come to the cafe??? Today I made a Mosaic purchase that I believe will forever change my life.

jazzbo Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Buddy Rich Mosaic, disc one, this set hit my doorstep today. Quote
Face of the Bass Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Beiderbecke, Trumbauer, and Teagarden, Disc 1. The vocals are annoying. Quote
Shawn Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Thad Jones & Mel Lewis LP3. Fabulous set. The improvement in sound over the original Solid States is very significant. Love the booklet too ! ARGH! Wish I had that one.... Quote
poetrylover3 Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Thelonious Monk: The Complete Blue Note TM I much prefer this audio to the various CD versions. The discography included is priceless-there's still Monk that's unreleased in the US. Peace, Jeff T Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Posted May 21, 2007 Disc # 01 Cut - Hank's Prank Quote
king ubu Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I'm enjoying the fact that I finally got a shipping confirmation for my Roach set - phew! The Berigan still hasn't arrived, so I'm looking forward a lot to both of these! During the wait, I'll try and make my way all through the Mildred Bailey, a great one, in my opinion! Quote
ghost of miles Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Chu Berry, disc 5. The Hampton and Manone sides aren't quite as enjoyable for me so far, but there are some very good moments--Chu's playing on "Sweethearts on Parade" (which really does seem to anticipate Hampton's Jacquet turn in the 1940s) and the modern-sounding "Shufflin' at the Hollywood."

gslade Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Well the M. Roach and The Chu Berry arrived today Where to start? I think the Roach First, going on Disc#1 Quote
BruceH Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 The Bunny Berigan. Glad I got this before it ran out. Quote
tranemonk Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) Going back to McCoy Select.... (Never have too much McCoy.... ) Disc 3... Now Disc 1.... Edited May 24, 2007 by tranemonk Quote
mikelz777 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 The Complete Clef/Verve Count Basie Fifties Studio Recordings-This just came in the mail today. If this band didn't define swing then I don't know what else possibly could. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) I'm listening to that set as well. Disc III which I really like. This set is another sonic wonder from the team of Ellen Fitton (tape transfers) and Malcolm Addey (mastering). Edited May 25, 2007 by jazzbo Quote
mikelz777 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 Discs 2 & 3 today. You're right about the sound, it's wonderful. Quote
