Description

Lucky #1990, wow... was it really 20+ years ago? Viva Mosaic!! All six (6) lps are in excellent condition, booklet (one of the nicest Mosaic ever did, esp. since this is such an underknown era) barely has any handling wear, while the box is minor shelfwear-- that's it. Someone-- mostly me, who used to TAPE his Mosaics to listen to in the pre-digital era-- took very nice care of this. Offered now, to the Omniverse (peace to all Sun Ra fans out there too).

PLEASE WRITE IF YOU NEED ANY SESSION DETAILS re: Edmond, James, Sydney de Paris, Vic Dickenson etc.

To say that this limited-edition six-LP Mosaic box is overflowing with classics is an understatement. Included are a variety of small-group sessions (with overlapping personnel) from the early days of Blue Note. The Edmond Hall Celeste Quartet has five songs that are the only existing examples of Charlie Christian playing acoustic guitar; clarinetist Hall, Meade Lux Lewis (on celeste), and bassist Israel Crosby complete the unique group. The king of stride piano, James P. Johnson, is heard on eight solos; other combos are led by Johnson, Hall (who heads four groups in all), trumpeter Sidney DeParis, and trombonist Vic Dickenson (heard in a 1952 quartet with organist Bill Doggett). Among the other key soloists are vibraphonist Red Norvo, pianist Teddy Wilson, tenor great Ben Webster, baritonist Harry Carney, clarinetist Omer Simeon, and trombonist Benny Morton. But more important than the all-star personnel is the fact that the musicians are consistently inspired, and that the performances (ranging from Dixieland to advanced swing) are well-planned yet spontaneous. The accompanying 26-page booklet is a major plus too. Essential music; get this box while you can.
