Also worth mentioning: The word is that Mosaic is about to go under, so it really might be the last chance to get those sets. :cry:

If you’ve been holding out for something, now is the best time to go get it!

Savory recordings, coming on Mosaic in January...? Can it really be? The Mosaic Records site itself says nothing about this yet. And for 2019, Louis Armstrong 1950's Columbia recordings. That's the era of "Satch Plays Fats" and "Armstrong Plays Handy".

Here’s some holiday cheer for classic-jazz fans around the world: Mosaic Records is going to put out a multi-disc anthology drawn from the recordings that engineer Bill Savory made of jazz greats in the 1930s and 40s. The Savory Collection has been on jazz fans’ radar ever since it surfaced in 2010, and though three volumes of music have come out on iTunes, with a fourth on the way, this will mark the first appearance of the Savory Collection in a physical format.

The six-CD set will include all of the material released on iTunes so far (including the latest, volume 4), plus an additional two CDs featuring more music from Count Basie and Lester Young, pianist Joe Sullivan, singer Mildred Bailey, and other artists. Loren Schoenberg, who shepherded the Savory collection to the National Museum of Jazz in Harlem and who wrote notes for the iTunes volumes, will be annotating this set as well. Mosaic is aiming for a January 2018 release.

As for the several CDs of Benny Goodman material that could also make for a compelling set? That material remains in indefinite limbo.

Also in the works: a Louis Armstrong set for 2019, focusing on Armstrong’s 1950s-era Columbia recordings produced by George Avakian,including previously unreleased music from those sessions.

Mosaic lives! Well at least for another release. Late this year they are releasing another Woody Herman set.
The early 40s tracks have some good selections for dancing. I'm not so sure about the late 40s and 50s cuts as I know that there was a big bop influence in the band at that time.
