That looks interesting, how is it?

Enjoyable.  Nothing earth-shattering.  But very good.

I am trying to get my backlog of unheard Mosaics played, most bought new when they were first released and not played until now. I am putting on LP 3 now.

 

😲wow. That was from 2009 right? Hope it was worth the wait!

Thanks, don't need my earth shattered today so it could just fit the bill

Wonderful , really fun music. The title tune, a Calypso.....Pharoah sounds almost like Rollins sometimes here. 

And also the swing tunes When Lights are Low and Moment´s Notice are great. 

And two really moving duets with Joe Bonner, who is just an incredible good pianist.

Some impressive piano playing by Don Friedman here.

Love the entire session (Sentimental and Just You/All the Things ending !!). One day I guess I will purchase the Mosaic set!

I had most, though not all of the music on the 2 CD reissue, but this LP set has even more music.

I wish I could find an affordable copy of this. I've been tracking these CDs for years and have only tripped over a few of them in the used bins.

Is it possible that I saw him live with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band ? I think HE was the pianist. Jesper Lundgaard was on bass, Dick Oats and Steve Coleman where saxophonists, Pepper Adams on bari I think, so I think I remember Jim McNeely was on piano......, was a very fine night, to hear that legendary band. 
After Thad Jones had left the band, it was not the same anymore, most of all because they got Bob Brookmeyer to compose and arrange. 

Nothing against Broockmeyer, he sure has many fans here, but in my case the connections did not happen. It may be my fault, but I didn´t hear anything that thrilled me....

A treasure from my early teenie years. From the first few bars a livelong favourite of mine. I think, Sun Ra, late Trane, Pharoah Sanders and Dolphy where main sources to live that miracle of good music....
