jazzbo Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 I'm not sure what is up with that inclusion, maybe the booklet will explain, maybe not. Peanuts was an interesting fellow, I met him in San Antonio on the Riverwalk hanging with Jim Cullum's band, he was having fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually many other examples of tracks included that were never released as V-Discs. I suspect now that the Fats Waller omission might be due to the fact that the masters for these tracks are apparently missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 I don't see that many but oh well it's not an issue with this set for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stompin at the Savoy Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 Mine arrived today. As I was ripping the files to disk I remarked to myself how well the metadata on internet music databases had been entered. It was set up as a multi-disk collection of items by 'various artists' and each track contained the title of the performer or group (of which there are a great many). Beautifully done! And then it all ran out on disk 6. Oh dear. I typed in the metadata myself for disk 6 which is quite an undertaking because of the way Mosaic displays the data in two lists: a track list which has the song titles and a discography which is detailed about the performer/group for each track (but unfortunately the track order in the two lists is often not the same). Hmnnn...... maybe I'll listen to the first few disks, wait on 7-11, and hope whoever did 1-5 keeps it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain the balance will show up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 I entered all of the data myself for all 11 discs. It used to be easy to convey that information to the database. But I don't see how to do it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of these player software programs like itunes actually submit whatever you type in to Gracenote. So you may have finished the job for all of us! -Well, maybe not. Disc 7 still shows no data for me. Edited October 29 by Stompin at the Savoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmnnn...... maybe I'll listen to the first few disks, wait on 7-11, and hope whoever did 1-5 keeps it up... My "ripping" software did not find any data associated with the discs. I did not find an entry in Discogs (at the time - and did not have the courage to create one), so I copied the information from Mosaic's website into Excel, and cleaned it up. Here is the file (text, with columns separated by semi-colons) with the disc number, track number, and titles: https://storage.googleapis.com/cloudplayer/samples/mp3tag.txt I then imported the track titles into my "tags" using a tagging software (MP3Tag). Could be useful to others... Since then, someone created a Discogs entry: https://www.discogs.com/release/32107818-Various-Classic-V-Disc-Small-Group-Jazz-Sessions My tagging software can import Discogs entries to fill in the titles, but the "Medleys" screw everything up, as they are identified as separate sub-tracks on Discogs. I have designed my own "app" to add information, such as credits and comments, to my music collection, and it looks like this: It takes a few hours to enter all this, but I like to have the credits "on line" (and use them to search my collection).

John L Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 I have been really enjoying the first Red Norvo session here with Mildred Bailey. It reminds me that I need to listen to them more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just resumed listening to disc 2… really enjoying the Muggsy Spanier session with Bud Freeman and Peanuts Hucko. (And I see there’s some Peanuts-led material coming up on disc 4.)

I've got mine in the listening queue so hopefully, all of it will be online before I get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stompin at the Savoy Posted Sunday at 08:21 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:21 PM I'm enjoying disk 2. Love all the great stride piano! Very good sound, too. Excellent box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted Sunday at 08:35 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:35 PM As is often the case, I'm confused. In the booklet for Discs V-V111 at the bottom of the listings for session Y (Bobby Hackett) it says "note: This session is heard in it's entirety and in the order in which it was recorded on Disk III." huh, isn' that what they've just listed for disc VI?
