The last five tracks in the Mosaic set are from this LP, instrumentals by the Bob Cooper Tentet. The other vocal tracks are not included. Besides Cooper (ts) the players are Conte Candoli (tp), Frank Rosolino (tb), Bud Shank (fl, as), Buddy Colette or Jack Nimitz (baritone sax), Vince De Rosa or Bill Hinshaw (French horn), Pete Jolly (p), Al Viola (g), Joe Mondragon (b) & Mel Lewis (d).

Back to the beginning of the Mosaic Kenton Presents set with this 10-inch LP. Recorded 5/14 & 7/30, 1954, Capitol Studios, Melrose Ave., LA. With Bud Shank (baritone sax), Claude Williamson (p, 7/30 session only), Howard Roberts (g), Joe Mondragon (5/4) or Curtis Counce (7/30) (b), Shelly Manne (5/4) or Stan Levey (7/30) (d). Light-toned & very lively, fluid playing. Three-minute tracks. I love it.
Off to spend the day with my Dad. This is a good send off! "Lonely Woman" will remain a timeless classic. Ornette Coleman "Shape of Jazz To Come" Warner Japan cd.
Thanks for mentioning this, because last night my $5 new copy arrived, and I'm off work for a few weeks starting tomorrow night. I was aware of this release and would never even guessed it would be available for a reasonable price by now, never mind that low.
My favorite OP. TBH i'm not the biggest fan but I do own and enjoy a few of his albums and this set is at the top of the list.
Lord's Discography writes the music on this Lp is actually from a concert at the "Civic Opera House" Chicago. Oscar Peterson and his Trio performed at the Concertgebouw in the Netherlands at a midnight concert on 12-13 April 1958. Officially no recording was made from this concert.
Congrats that you have this box. I missed it and collected all the "Kenton Presents Jazz" on single LPs afterwards.
Unfortunately, I don't have this box. I am listening via the Hoopla streaming service. The public library here provides limited monthly access to Hoopla.
I know it’s old hat to most, but new to me. Lush Life is a great album. Was there a reason for different sessions on each side? The first side is good, especially the blues track on the last side A cut. But side B kills. With all different dudes. It seems to be two albums on one.
I didn't know that I needed this until now. Lionel Hampton, "You Should Be Dancing," from his 1978 album Saturday Night Jazz Fever Produced, Arranged & Conducted by Teo Macero Al Foster, drums Mike Nock, keyboards John Scofield, guitar George Young, woodwinds & saxes Richard Laird, bass George Devens, percussion Teo Macero, tenor sax Lynn Williamson, vocal It's actually a pretty good album. Teo would've done well in an alternate career as a Hollywood arranger.
Picked up this Japanese pressing the other day from my local record shop. Some great, mellow tunes...really enjoying it along with some nice loose leaf tea.
Next album in the Mosaic set, this one a 12-inch from 1955. Recorded 4/26/55 & 6/13-14/55, Capitol Melrose Studio, Hollywood. The Bob Cooper Octet, with Cooper on tenor sax, oboe & English horn. Also: Stu Williamson (tp, valve tb) (4/26), Bob Enevoldsen (valve tb, ts, bass cl), John Graas (French horn) (6/13-14), Bud Shank (as, ts, fl), Jimmy Giuffre (cl, ts, baritone sax), Claude Williamson (p), Max Bennett (b) (4/26), Joe Mondragon (b) (6/13), Ralph Peña (b) (6/14), Stan Levey (d) (4/26) & Shelly Manne (d) (6/13-14). Quite an assemblage of talent. Stu & Claude Williamson were brothers.
...ever wanted to feel like you were in a small club with J.C. and band blowing your face off. This is the recording you want. Dig it! Man, this band, particularly in ‘65, is just tops for me. No words....
