Funny...I've not listened to that Hampton set for years, but other than "Ring Dem Bells", I have no recollections of the vocals at all.

But the playing...oh my god, yes, I do remember the playing!

The Shaw set, otoh, I was about to suck it up and pay for that, but then saw that there were no vocals, especially Helen Forrest vocals. So I'm letting that one slide.

Mileages varying, etc.

Then again, I'm a sucker for hats.

Jim, you really might want to rethink your reservations on the Shaw set. You can pick up the Forrest vocals on two cds on Jasmine (they're well worth having), but the Mosaic is very fine. And it won't be around much longer.

I finally decided to spring for the Jazz Crusaders set. Was really torn on this one: lots of fun to listen to, and there's considerable personal nostalgia value, but OTOH there's so much heavier / more "serious" stuff out there that I ought to buy...hey, what the heck.

I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised by the Jazz Crusaders set; a lot of substance there.
