Mosaic - The Complete Commodore Jazz Recordings Volume 1

MR23-123

Here is a wonderful out of print set of 23 LP vinyl records from the fabulous Commodore Jazz archives.

This was released on the prestigious Mosaic label known for their high-quality box sets.

Volume One covers all the sessions recorded by the "Commodore" label between 1929-1943 and includes great jazz musicians, such as Cow Cow Davenport, Fletcher Henderson, Django Reinhardt, Eddie Condon, Bud Freeman, the Kansas City Five and Six (with Buck Clayton and Lester Young), Teddy Wilson, Jess Stacy, Chu Berry, Willie the Lion Smith, Billie Holiday, Stuff Smith, Jelly Roll Morton, Jack Teagarden, Art Hodes, Joe Marsala, Joe Bushkin, Coleman Hawkins, Lee Wiley, Pee Wee Russell, Bunk Johnson, Mel Powell (with Benny Goodman), Wild Bill Davison, George Brunies, and Edmond Hall.

Also included is the 64-page booklet that features over 37 rare black and white photographs, detailed session production notes, and a 13-page interview with Milt Gabler, the Commodore Records founder. This set is one of an edition limited to 2500, but it's not individually numbered.

Condition:

The records look like they have never been played. The vinyl is graded near mint as that is the highest grading that I give to opened lps.

Cover is in clean and excellent condition

Booklet is in mint condition
