Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

[Ed S]

Mosaic Beehive.

Got it for Christmas.

On Disc 2

Lovin' it

[JohnS]

Discs 6,7 and 8.  The quintets with Coltrane.

[Bluesnik]

It's only one CD, but it's presented in a boxset with a booklet. So like a one disc boxset. Or at least I like to look at it that way.

With Roy Eldridge, Miles, Getz, Dizzy, Monk, Lester Young and many others. Plus Kerouac readings.

How many pages/photos are in the booklet? Is it worth getting just for the booklet?

[Bluesnik]

No, I wouldn't say so. There are 24 pages, plus Track credits, which include original release, personnel and recording date and place. The text is mostly about Kerouac himself and speaks of how he loved jazz and admired and enjoyed his bebop contemporaries, but also (surprisingly) their forerunners like Roy Eldridge, Lester Young and Lionel Hampton.

There are no pictures in the booklet. The one I included in my post showed up (I don't know why, maybe beat generation or something like that) when I searched for the cover, and I liked it enough to place it there. The Kerouac readings are about the early history of bop and their musicians, which he frequently mentioned in his novels.

This is one that I come back to pretty frequently. Interesting collection and the way Orrin Keepnews arranged the tunes/artists is unusual, as well.

[mikeweil]

Not exactly jazz, but great music and lovingly compiled by Bloomfiled's buddy Al Kooper:

I just found out Big Bill Broonzy (at an early stage of his career, I suppose) plays on five tracks here.

I had forgotten about this Select, saw it was on Running Low and have just ordered it. 

[Bluesnik]

It's very good.
