THE COMPLETE COMMODORE JAZZ RECORDINGS  -  VOLUME  2

MOSAIC BOXED SET:  MR23 - 128

LIMITED EDITION:  2500 ALBUMS PRESSED

CONDITION:  NEAR MINT

Those of you who have an interest in traditional jazz are probably aware of the impact that Milt Gabler had on this phase of jazz music. Milt started a jazz music store in New York City in 1926 and became the major retail outlet for recorded jazz in the New York area. In 1938 he broadened his participation by issuing and selling jazz records under the Commodore label and continued to so until 1957. Milt's story is fascinating as he was a major factor in all aspects of traditional jazz for many years.

The album listed herein, Vol. 2, includes all Commodore issues from 1944 thru 1945 in a total of 23 records. Most jazz artists of that period are included in this collection. Each of these records has been played  no more than once and all are in near mint condition. The collection is packaged in two boxes within a large slipcover box. All boxes are in near mint condition as is the booklet  containing the liner notes and discography. I acquired this album directly from Mosaic and placed it in my collection of Mosaic albums which ultimately grew to a total of 77.

These 23 records comprise a comprehensive collection of traditional jazz music from the1944-1945 period. Mosaic has indeed assembled and published a boxed set that fully meets the exceptional quality and coverage expected in their reissues.
