Matthew Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I keep telling myself to get the Jazz Crusaders. I love that band, and I bet it's great music from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just began to listen to the Benedetti-Bird material after many years of hesitation. Don't hesitate! Fabulous playing, different from much other Bird in (the LA material at least) its relaxed aura, and the ear (or my ear) immediately adjusts to variations in sound quality and the Bird-only excerpts. Kind of scares me to think that I sat on the sidelines here for all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of scares me to think that I sat on the sidelines here for all these years. This is my favorite Mosaic of all as I find the music endlessly fascinating. The part where Benedetti is playing Bird's part over a recording is creepy, beautiful, sick, and amazing, all at the same time. I feel strange every time I hear those cuts.

gmonahan Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I've been thinking of using the promo to get the Anthony Braxton set. I keep hesitating because I'm not a big fan of the avant garde, and I wonder honestly whether I'd enjoy it, whether it's accessible to me. Not that anyone else can really answer that question, I guess! gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
