Late Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 The Duke set is immensely enjoyable, but I can see how some people wouldn't initially be able to get into it. Here's what I've done to enhance my listening pleasure: • Made a master takes set. • Made an alternate takes set. • Made a non-vocals set. The box, at least to me, was a little overwhelming to begin with, but having the master takes all lined up without alternates has been nice. Also, when I don't want to hear vocalists, I pop in the "instrumental" disc. A less academic feel this way, which lets a listener forget about the dreaded "historical importance" phrase.

Guest Bixieland Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) Cool, thanks for all your input. I've been sampling the "Duke's Men" discs over at Amazon, which I see covers these sessions as well... I can hear more and longer samples than what Mosaic offers. No question this is good stuff.
