Out2Lunch Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Quite a list, but look on the bright side. The Bobby Hackett set is still available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Also remember that several of the out of print Mosaic sets have been made available in their entirety in other forms (the Blue Note Brownie, Monk, and Bud 4-CD sets - now made at least partially obsolete by the RVG reissues), the Herbie Nichols Blue Note set - still in print?, the Desmond/Hall RCA which is just a little different, as is the Pacific Jazz Mulligan/Baker set and the Roost Getz set. Most if not all of the Freddie Redd has been put on individual CDs, Blakey, Chet live, the Green/Clark too, etc. etc. Not to mention those sets which were Mosaic Lp-only but on CD from Columbia (Miles, Mingus). Trying to look on the bright side of things - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibes Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 I'm still kicking myself for hesitating to pull the trigger on the Jones/Lewis big-band set. What was I thinking? Capitol re-issued CONSUMMATION--hopefully the rest will come out eventually, and the sound will probably be better too. Don't kick yourself too hard - I paid $360 for that set. It's great music, don't get me wrong...but does it feel like it's worth $360 to me? I guess not. Did I mention I'd never heard any of it before I bought it? Ah, the insanity!

Out2Lunch Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Hey that Bill Evans set is still available on CD as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 #104 The Complete Blue Note and Pacific Jazz Recordings of Clifford Brown (5 LPs) #116 The Complete Bud Powell Blue Note Recordings (1949-1958) (5 LPs) #118 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Herbie Nichols (3 CDs or 5 LPs) #133 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Grant Green with Sonny Clark (4 CDs or 5 LPs) #141 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Art Blakey's 1960 Jazz Messengers (6 CDs or 10 LPs) #143 The Complete 1959 CBS Charles Mingus Sessions (4 Q-LPs) #158 MIles Davis: The Complete Plugged Nickel Sessions (10 Q-LPs) #164 Miles Davis/Gil Evans: The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings (11 LPs) As has been mentioned, these are all available on CD in one form or another - either single disks or in sets on their original label. There's also lots of great stuff that is STILL in print, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 These too: 101 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Thelonious Monk (4 LPs) (BN) 153 The Complete Aladdin Recordings of Charles Brown (5 CDs or 7 Q-LPs) (JSP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeb Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 (edited) Well, if I was going to pay $360 for a set, the Jones/Lewis would be in the running. GREAT music, IMHO ... I think the only set I've purchased from a source other than Mosaic was the Larry Young -- ~ $130 on eBay. Back in '99, if I remember correctly.

Brad Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Not sure what your point is by listing those. Most of us know they're out of print. And Mosaic has listed these as well. However, they show up on Ebay quite a bit. Some of us have spent a lot of money on Ebay to acquire a lot of those sets, myself included.

Noj Posted March 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 I guess it's old news that was new to me. I found the list to be a little daunting...not sure what my point was either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2Lunch Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 I think that maybe like a lot of us, you caught the Mosaic bug and that list of OOP sets is overwhelming. Like Brad said they show up on eBay frequently. Right now, two particular sellers have quite a list of these on eBay and the prices are a lot more reasonable than when I was buying these up.

Brad Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I would agree with Tod in all respects except that it's not a "bug", it's a "sickness" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2Lunch Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I guess its all verbiage, but right now I'm coming down the symptoms of a new Jack Teagarden flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
