1.0 out of 5 stars Unacceptable!, March 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jazz Collection (Audio CD)

I was shocked and appalled when I listened to this label's re-issue of these classic recordings. They obviously either couldn't get their hands on the original masters, or didn't bother to. The cd's are recorded FROM A VINYL RECORD- and not even a decent copy (complete WITH CLICKS AND POPS!) With the Mosaic re-issues sadly no longer available, there's unfortunately no other way to find this wonderful music. Never-the-less, don't waste your money on these versions.

A "must-own" CD for any fan of big-band music. This set contains CLASSIC material from the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra that is very hard to find. Some of their BEST repertoire - "Little Pixie," "Groove Merchant" - on and on.
