 I'm selling my late father's Jazz collection. The collection consists about 7000 items including 78's, LP's, CD's' Box sets, books and journals. Please bare with me as I'm not a dealer and my description of items will be minimal but honest. As I haven't  fathomed out yet my Father's indexing system, I have chosen to start with his LP & CD collection of Mosaic recordings. My father's first love has always been big bands so expect to see some rare & quality recordings over the coming months along with Blues and R&B.
Condition: Box has very slight visible wear. Records have obviously been played but have been well cared for. The inside of box and journal has date of delivery. THE COMPLETE BLUE NOTE RECORDINGS OF THELONIOUS MONK MOSAIC    Review by Scott Yanow

This magnificent limited-edition set launched the Mosaic label in real style. Included are all of Thelonious Monk's Blue Note recordings, six sessions as a leader from 1947-52 complete with alternate takes plus two titles cut with tenor-saxophonist Sonny Rollins in 1957. Since these were Monk's first opportunities to lead his own recording dates, this set includes the original versions of such classics as "Ruby, My Dear," "Well You Needn't," "Off Minor," "In Walked Bud," "Evidence," "Criss Cross" and "Straight No Chaser" along with Monk's first chance to record "'Round Midnight" and "Epistrophy." The sidemen include such notables as trumpeters Kenny Dorham and Idrees Sulieman, drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, altoist Lou Donaldson and tenor-saxophonist Lucky Thompson, but it is the unique pianist/composer who is the main star. Many of these recordings (generally the master takes) has been reissued in other forms by Blue Note.
