Great mastering by Doug Pomeroy!

A while back, Todd F. had good things to say about Doug Pomeroy's work on Mosaic Records' Jack Teagarden set. I recently bought Mosaic's "Mildred Bailey: Complete Columbia Recordings" box and I wanted to praise Mr. Pomeroy's work (and everyone else involved) on that set. These recordings date back to the 1930s, so there was obviously a bit of cleaning up involved, but not excessively, and the music really excels, as opposed to many-major label reissues, where they basically suck the life out of the recordings in the interest of avoiding any "imperfections". I compared some tracks to the identical recordings on my 3-lp Mildred Bailey Columbia set from the 1960s, and that lp set will be going into storage!
Message to J. Epstein: please pass on my thanks to Doug!

My pleasure!

Glad you liked it. In my opinion, Doug is very good at finding the line between too much processing and too little. Seems to be a rare skill these days.

Yes, yes, yes! I've listened to the rest of the Teagarden set and Doug Pomeroy did a wonderful job. It's very musical and Jack's vocal is very smooth and "in the room." I'll keep and eye out for more of his work...
