@Essanay Don't have any gear that will play a 78 any more.

Only 33 & 45 but I've got a lot of great jazz recordings re-issued by #MosaicRecords that were remastered from 78s. That'll have to do for me. 🤷‍♂️

#Music #Jazz #CDs

I seldom buy individual albums in #Vinyl or #CD anymore, preferring instead to buy sets that fill gaps in my collection.

So, In addition to the 2 vinyl sets that I purchased at #AmoebaRecords yesterday that I described in a separate toot, I also placed a pre-order to buy this 7 #CD set soon to be released by #MosaicRecords

The Complete Pharoah Sanders Theresa Recordings.

After I receive it, It will be the 155th Mosaic Records set in my collection. That's 155 out of the 182 sets issued plus 8 out of 8 of their special limited release Vinyl Set Series.

#Jazz #BlueNote

If you're a #JazzFan, you already "in love" with Blue Note Records & it will take a lot more lot more than 5 minutes to listen to all of the suggested tracks in this NYT article -- it'll take you over 8 mins to listen to the 1st -- but, take my word for it, it's worth the time.

#WayneShorter's #SpeakNoEvil; #LeeMorgan's #PartyTime; #ArtBlakey's #Pensativa; #BobbyHutherson's #Avis & #CliffordBrown's #EasyLiving are my favorite tracks among those mentioned.

@innergroove I've got 11 of #HankMobley's #BlueNote albums but also own these 2 #MosaicRecord sets that fill a lot of gaps in my collection of his music and, if you're missing any of his Blue Note recordings from the 1950's to 70's, I recommend looking for these #MosaicRecords sets:

#Jazz #Blues #LPs #Vinyl

I don't frequent #RecordStores very often anymore but I was in #Martinez today & happened to notice a small record store there.

I browsed thru their 3 small bins of jazz LPs & found the 1984 #MosaicRecords release of the #PortOfHarlemJazzmen which includes the 1st recordings ever produced & released on an album by (the to be named) #BlueNote records founded by Alfred Lion in 1939.

The sound quality on the album isn't great because it's mastered from the acetates used to cut the original 78's during 2 sessions in 1939. If you're into listening to "vintage" jazz music, that's par for the course but the poor sound quality does not detract from listening to #SidneyBechet play a soulful version of #Summertime on the B-side of the LP.

I could have bought a copy off of #Discogs but part of the fun of collecting LPs is going #BinDiving & I consider this a great #LP find!

However, I am now thinking about buying the a Japanese re-issue of the original album for comparison.

#Jazz

Spent the last roughly 3 hours listening to the 6 #LP #MosaicRecords set of "The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Sidney Bechet" recorded between 1939 & 1953.

I'm not really a #Dixieland or #TraditionalJazz"fan but the time flew by as I changed/flipped the LPs every 15 mins or so listening to this amazing 70-85 yr old music.

Sidney Bechet played jazz #clarinet long before #BennyGoodman came on the scene &, while it's undocumented, I dare say that what #Goodman learned about how to play the jazz clarinet, he learned from #SidneyBechet.

Mosaic Records (the premier re-issuer of old jazz classic sets) is now accepting pre-orders for a new 11 CD set of V-Disc (V for Victory) recordings produced between 1942-1949 for the US military.

Since the US govt ordered that all of the masters & stampers be destroyed at the end of the program, Mosaic re-mastered the recordings from available 78s (& in some cases from masters that were saved from destruction).

I just ordered it & haven't heard all of it yet but clips from the set are provided in the link below. Since this music was produced during the hey-day of #SwingJazz (prior to post-war #Bop) that's what you're going to hear on this set but it's music that no one except your parents or grandparents ever got to hear when the music was originally produced & aired.

Some great jazz artists of the era are listed in performing on these CDs, including but not limited to #LouisArmstrong #ArtTatum #BenWebster #BobbyHackett #HerbEllis #JackTeagarden

I've been a collector of #MosaicRecords sets going back to when the company was 1st founded in 1981.

Just got notice from Mosaic that Michael Cuscuna, who had a hand in distributing & unearthing some of the most important jazz music ever recorded in his time as a producer w/Columbia Records and as the co-founder of Mosaic Records, just died. ☹️

Here's a link to Mosaic's announcement of his passing:

And, in case the link to his interview w/DownBeat mentioned in the announcement doesn't work, you can find it here:

Mosaic Records is a reissuer of jazz music that finds the original tapes, cleans them up, presents the recordings in chronlogical order & presents them completely (or as completely as possible) in limited LP/CD (mostly CD now) boxed sets.

Mosaic Records was founded in 1982 & has since produced 275 boxed sets. I've been a collector of Mosaic sets almost since the day they were founded & currently own over 120 of their sets.

Mosaic's most recent set is a complilation of all of the Norman Granz produced "Jazz at the Philharmonic Jam Sessions" from 1950-1957.

If you are a collector of jazz LPs (as I am), you know how hard it is to find some (let alone ALL) of the original recordings of these "jam" sessions.

I just placed my order for this CD set &, if you're a fan of the post-Bop, modern jazz period of the early 1950's, as I am, you should definitely consider buying a copy of this set.

Here's a link to a description of & audio clips from the set:

I guess you are aware of the fine recordings with Paul Desmond? Mosaic put out an entire box, and it's glorious! Seems it's gone already, but it's not too expensive:
