Chet Baker Quartet Live

[hbbfam]

I have been considering the Mosaic Complete Pacific Jazz Live Recordings of Chet Baker w Russ Freeman. It is OOP print a bit spendy. There are 3 remastered CDs Chet Baker Quartet Live (V.1-3) which are significantly less expensive. They have some additional tracks and were remasterd by Ron McMaster.

Any difference in sound? The individuals sound quality?

I never heard the Mosaic set, but the 3 remastered CDs sound fine to my ears.  Perhaps of significance, the 3 CDs were released after the Mosaic set.  So most likely they tried to at least equal the remastering of the already existing Mosaic set.

On the other hand, I don't know why I am even commenting as I am sure there are plenty of people at this forum who have heard them both.

IMHO either set would be very, very good. The big extra feature in the Mosaic set (and worth the $) is the beautiful booklet that contains several photographs, a good discography and an interesting narrative..
