George Shearing Mosaic

[rivieraranch]

Does this set include music from the sessions that didn't make it to LP?

Yes, it does. The set done at the Blackhawk in 1963 with Gary Burton on vibes could have been a double album but Capitol released it only as a single. There is quite a bit of material from that session that was previously unreleased. The other albums such as Shearing on Stage, On The Sunny Side Of The Strip, San Francisco Scene, etc., are pretty much the same on the MOSAIC set with no additional material.

IIRC there are two LPs worth of unreleased tracks from two of the live sessions in the Mosaic box. 

BTW - I have a soft spot for Shearing's announcements, like the one where he talks about songtitles substituting "lunch" for "love"...

I like it too, have the vinyl box on my shelf. Haven't played it for a couple of years so will have to put that right over the next week. This one is under-rated as a Mosaic I think.

Yes agreed. Have the 7 LP Mosaic box.

Here are the tiles of the Capitol LP's as content of the LP box:

ST-1187 Shearing On Stage

ST-1416  On The Sunny Side Of The Street

ST- 1715- San Francisco Scene

ST- 12992 Jazz Concert

ST- 2447 Rare Form

I enjoyed my phone interview with George Shesring, he was also a quick wit. Glad to have seen him perform, with his quintet and also a duo with Neil Swainson.

And if the Mosaic is out of your price range, you can get the original albums in mint condition for a buck a throw at a thrift store near you.

Correct.
