For the record, my post above was just my reposting of a cover of the set from another thread around here.

That Nabors / Jackson Five thing is da bomb!!

Both Nabors sets are among my all-time favorite Mosaics, along with the Lawrence Welk

and the Kenny G and Jimi Hendrix Selects

(with thanks to AfricaBrass and BFrank for turning me on to these wonderful sets)

If AMG is to believed, Jim Nabors once played Trumpet on a 1961 Lil Hardin Armstrong record produced by Chris Albertson.

According to Fantasy's site, it's Roi Nabors.

Nabors is a fantastic musician who's severely underrated. I wish I could spread the gospel of him to jazz lovers everywhere.

One of my favorite periods was in the early seventies when he replaced Joe Zawinul in the Cannonball/Nat Adderley group. I hear he was playing stuff so BAD that Miles made an offer for him to join his group. To Nabor's credit, he stayed loyal and kept burning up the keys with Cannonball.

I was lucky enough to find a photo from this period:

We need a thread for all of AMG's bloopers.

I will start one.

Is it true that Cuscuna didn't include the Nabors/Mormon Tabernacle Choir session in the set because he doesn't like large vocal groups?

[Soulstation1]

i still want the complete money jungle sessions

It's too bad nobody's yet found the long-lost Adderley session tapes featuring Jim's 2 orginal compositions "SHAZAAAAM!" and "GOLLLLLLLY!" I've heard they were smokin'!

[rostasi]

Yeah, he must be singin' that Zawinul tune "Gawlee, Gawlee, Gawlee"

[AfricaBrass]

You can find anything on the internet these days.

I bought out all the Nabors Mosaics. Figured I'd do a little hoarding. I'll sell you one but first I have to offer it to Allen Lowe for around $2,000.

Anybody remember the eprisode of Gomer Pyle, USMC where Sgt. Carter needed a female singer for the officer's club and Gomer called in a favor and got Dinah Washington for the gig?
