I keep hearing how mid-century serialism is all dry, bloodless, and academic, but this shit is SPUNKY!!!!

Sounding way better than the CD-R version I made years ago by ripping the vinyl from the station’s library:

[Justin V]

Disc 1, Chambers' Music: This was my first Mosaic purchase, maybe 15 years ago. 

[duaneiac]

Disc 1 of 2.

While there is a good deal of Wardell Gray to be found among these tracks, Stan Hasselgard does NOT even play with any Goodman band included here.  He only appears on 3 of 4 tracks (he doesn't even play on the 4th track, but if some one told me we were about to record "Where Has My Little Dog Gone", I'd likely disappear for a while as well) he made for V-Disc transcriptions just days before his death in 1948.  BG's big band, bebop version of "King Porter Stomp" is just, no.

It is really surprising how deluxe Verve went with this reissue.

Big fun here!

Learned of this one via the PS Audio forum. Quite nice! This Canadian singer is new to me, but she has a lovely voice and singing that makes me think of Blossom Dearie and Karrin Allison. Nice bossa nova with electric guitar, vibes and violin featured nicely. Some nice singing in French as well.

I don't have the new reissue yet, but I was reminded to listen to this one.
