Producer's note: In most cases, the sources for this collection were the original discs or the original tape transfers, if the discs were damaged or broken. There were, however, cases where neither existed. For example, the master takes of Benny Carter's "Hurry, Hurry and "I Can't Escape From You had to be taken from 78 pressings. Armand Hug's "That Old Gang Of Mine" had to be taken from an LP master with echo and equalization added. This set departs from the long-established Mosaic concept of only creating collections that are complete bodies of work by a given artist or label. In fact, it is not the complete anything, except that each session is complete unto itself unless otherwise noted. It is essentially a rescue mission for forties sessions rooted in traditional jazz or swing that rarely made it to the 12" LP era and, most likely, would not have been reissued on CD. The many fine Capitol sessions of the era with Nat Cole, Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Art Tatum, Coleman Hawkins and Charlie Barnet have been, or soon will be, thouroughly dealt with on other Mosaic sets or on single Capitol Jazz CD issues. Others, like Billy Butterfield and Red Nichols, recorded far too much material to be contained in a set this size, and countless other sessions fall into gray areas between jazz and pop or blues or early R & B.. We've made no attempt to cover the modern jazz sessions, most of which have or will be dealt with elsewhere. The Stan Hasselgard session is included because it is linked to Red Norvo's work for the label.
