Thumpelstiltskin Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 My favorite is by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. It has three CDs and a DVD EP and contains a lot of stuff I'd never heard before getting this as a gift. The box describes it this way: "Drawn from studio sessions, live performances, and rare radio and television broadcasts, these three discs (plus a special DVD EP) chronicle the brilliant and unbridled career of this uniquely gifted guitar slinger - from unheard early sessions to the last shows at Alpine Valley, and everything in between."

colterphoto1 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hey Thump.. does that SRV have the Austin City limits performance(s) on it? I have an old tape from a show that had two different generations of the SRV band, second one had a kicking b3 organ player with double trouble as well.

kuisis Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Allan I second that Grant Green Mosaic. I love the version of moonriver on that disc, mellows me out everytime. Do you like the Thad Jones box, it's another favorite of mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I didn't buy the Thad Jones box--I have all of the original Blue Note and UA pressings and there didn't seem to be a whole lot of new stuff on this one--at least not enough for me at the time. Of course, now I REGRET not buying ALL of the Mosaics when they were released!! But, yeah I love this music. Especially the three Blue Notes.

boomac Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 If the Art Pepper set is any indication, I see several other Mosaic Sets taking a place on the "self gift" list. What's the Thad Jones go for? I have several of his LPs and love them. "The Magnificent" is a fantastic recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoriated_Tiger Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Huh.. All of mine are by Deutsche Grammophon / Arkiv In no order: 1. The Bach Organ Works as played by Helmut Walcha. Split in two "eras" (1950's and 1970's) with two different organs, one's a Schnitger (first half) the other's a Silbermann (much, much nicer, imo.) The Schnitger's kinda dry and etched to my ear, those mixturs *hurt* The music and playing, of course, is spectacular no matter where in the 11 discs you are. Walcha was the cat's meow, imo. 2. Mozart's Piano Concertos, Pinnock and the English Concert. This is so yummy it ain't even funny. Of the 3 sets I mention here, this box set has tbe best recordings. Puts you there. 7 discs. 3. Mozart's Symphones, Pinnock and English Concert again. Those kettledrums.. mrrrrrow. 12 disks 4. Beethoven 9 Symphonies, Elliot Gardiner & Orchestre Revolutionaire et Romantique. A departure from the 'everyone's done it' way of doing Beethoven.. I found it to be an aquired taste, but one I enjoy once acclimated to its different sound and Gardiner's rather brisk tempo. 3 disks + 1 with commentary. This is the recording which forced me to ditch my Stereo 70 and get somethng which could handle this recording. I hate it when that happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Tiger, no limit to musical tastes here, I make de joke, otay? Are yours discs of the vinyl variety? Thebes, might I like the Davis/Coltrane set better than my Miles 1955-1985 Columbia set? Have you heard it? I think it tries to take on too much lineage, too many styles for a 4 disc set. Just haven't spent much time with it. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 The Rascals aka The young Rascals. Including Native Rochesterian Gene Cornish.

I do have a few LP's of the Bach Harpsichord and String concertos (Again, Arkiv, Pinnock and English Concert). The very first recordings were made on metal disc masters -- you can hear stylus noise in the CD! (I have the same sessions on CD as well.) It's buried so deep down that you gotta be in a trance to hear it. In an a/b, the vinyl on my thorens out-sounds the CD of the same on the el-cheapo sony cdp. More frightening, the metal-master sessions sounds leagues more musical than the later DDD recordings in the same set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
