I've recently got the 5 disc bargain set of Oscar Peterson Song Books. Don't know how this one escaped me. It's absolutely great. Essential, I'd say.
For Oscar Peterson, I enjoy his early recordings as represented on the Mosaic box set. It also includes some of his vocals, which are in a hip, light voice that may remind you of the early Nat Cole voice
Rest assured I don't use it myself. But it no longer irritates me, and I don't correct him anymore. He knows what I mean when I talk about records (or LPs, etc.), but I don't actually think many of his friends would know! L.
He flew away while I was at work. There’s 1 more a few days from hatching. Hopefully I’ll see that one come out.
I’ll second Getz Barron People Time , one of my favorites and easy to miss as it is later on in his career
Wayne Shorter: Super Nova. Blue Note Div of Liberty label A rare example of acoustic jazz psychedelia.
Picked out a couple at random to play this afternoon, only later to realize that I seemed to be on a Kenny kick.
Of course, the great Gato Barbieri Go for the Impulse records that were explicitly his Latin American sound. After that, get all of his albums (especially the Flying Dutchman label albums), even his later "mainstream-pop" oriented albums. His earlier European recordings in more avant garde style are not his essential musical style, and not Latin-based at all. He came into his unique style later. There were four LPs. The CD set is also great. The CD edition (as I recall) has the first 3 volumes from the studio. The live Chapter Four is on a separate CD The CD set
All of your Mosaic posts have gotten to me. With finally having a decent digital source, I figured it was time to get in on that sweet, CD-boxset action. I just ordered all of the boxsets currently in stock or on order. Can't wait to receive them!
You will find yourself on a mission to find used sets, as over 90% (maybe 98%) of Mosaic sets are out-of-print. Be patient and you will often be rewarded with a good price, sometimes unbelievable. Don't pay the extreme prices that some demand. Buy what becomes available at a good price first, and wait patiently for your favorites to show up.
More from DKV Trio + Joe McPhee 6 CD box recorded between November 13th through December 29th, 2017 3 November shows in Europe and 3 December shows from the U.S. - 1 in Milwaukee and the final 2 as expected in Chicago as the trio has now been closing out the year in their home spot for quite a number of years - maybe since 2010 or so once they started these annual tours again after many years since 2001 or so when they didn’t play together that often at all. The years from 1994 through 2001 generated some great recordings and I saw my only show of their’s on 3/27/2001 that remains imbedded in my soul. Hamid Drake: drums Kent Kessler: double bass Ken Vandermark: reeds McPhee on tenor saxophone & his oblique pocket trumpet. References to Monk, Cherry and historical artifacts but predominantly swinging/grooving freely improvised jazz by one of the greatest small ensembles of the past 25 years with the addition of the *great* Joe McPhee making this music & box set presentation priceless to this listener.
