“The Complete Verve Wilson Recordings of the Teddy Wilson Trio” Mosaic 5 cd set, disc 1

Elegance and precision, not unlike the beboppin’ George Shearing Quintet material in his Mosaic set

Now
Dizzy Reece “Comin’ On” Blue Note Connoisseur cd

Two sessions recorded in '60 but released for the first time in '99. Better late than never, good stuff with Stan the Man et al.

I have the Analogue Productions SACD which sounds teriffic

Thank you @Famavolat. I was wondering about the Analogue Productions SACD. I just ordered a copy!

Per ECM notes “ tenderly melodic or declamatory, harmonically open, rhythmically free, and spiritually involving”.

Listening again to the first disc of the Teddy Wilson Trio Verve Recordings on Mosaic before moving on further in this box set as I sort of spaced out in a graceful and stylish manner while listening to his graceful and stylish playing yesterday afternoon.

Are there a lot of gongs on this one like the one before. . . . ?

This one ALWAYS sends me. In every way–concept, song choice and sequencing, arrangements, performances and the excellent, appropriate engineering.

What a brave woman Ms Carter was–with her unique vocal vision and technique and her determination to perservere and lead. Truly a master.

Great voice indeed. She uses some of the techniques used by Carmen McRae in the early 1960s.

Perhaps but she was right there creating and performing at that time and recording since 1955. . . I don’t quite see the same techniques but if so it may be debatable who was the chicken and who the egg and what came first. . . . (I love Carmen as well. I wish she had accompanied herself on the piano more often–I really like what I have of when she did).

Decided to listen to all of this set and am now on disc 2. Lots of vocals on this disc, and that’s fine. I’m one of those who dig Chet’s singing, and I like his earliest vocals the best. Sound on this set is very good. I remember I used to not enjoy the sound as much as some later remastered versions, but the way my system is now this mastering is great.
