Parkertown Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 Just now relistening to that Disc 4 of the Blue Mitchell set. Man, oh Man, but the Hands Up! set is just blowing me away. I am particularly taken with "Togetherness". It's opening and closing ensemble themes are quite attention-getting and, to me, very romantic sounding. And all three solos are masterful. Blue is telling stories, love stories. Junior is singing, singing happily. But Tyner's solo quite frankly caused my jaw to drop. This one track stands out, IMO, as one of THE great Tyner solos of all time! (Of those that I've had the pleasure to hear). The sound on this is great too. Quite punchy, it jumps out of the speakers! The tape actually doesn't seem like it's in the best condition, as I believe I'm hearing quite a few dropouts in the right channel on this track toward the close, but the sound has such impact that it is easily overlooked. All expectations exceeded! I feel this will prove to be one of my favorite Mosaic boxes. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 WRONG! The correct answer is: Organissimo "Waiting for the Boogaloo Sisters" PKO 020 Quartet Out "Live at the Meat House" Musica Con Carne 002 Roscoe Mitchell "Snurdy McGurdy" nessa ncd-20 See lots of 2s and 0s above? That's because we all want "twenties" for the previous errors . Quote

Ed S Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 Just received the Geral Wilson Mosaic as a gift. That's been on all morning. I'm only halfway through disc 2, but it is excellent thus far. I sort of curious to hear those last 2 sessions with the pop stuff. Quote
John Tapscott Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 Ed: I think you'll be surprised. I was not really looking forward to the pop tunes on the Wilson set, but I think he does a really good job with them. They're much better than I expected. Quote
