Oh hell yes.

Thanks for the heads up. Now's the time for me to get the Jazz Crusaders set. Didn't like having to pay the over $100 shipping for a $102 dollar set.

John - this one is great. I think you will like it !

Hmmmm.....I don't find the sound clips too compelling, are they representative ?

I've always enjoyed the Jazz Crusaders and have the live cds and a couple of their studio cds (Uh Huh and Freedom Sound) so I decided to invest in the Mosaic set. They have some great tunes with lots of variety and good solos all round. Although I doubt you'd want to play the six cds right off - they do have a signature sound.

Yeah, I have some holes in the early stuff too, but not because I necessarily had them somewhere else. I was just poorer then than I am now! I don't have 103, 107, 115, 121, 124, 126, 127, or 130. I also don't have the Don Cherry, Grant Green, or Art Hodes sets--wish I did! I think I have all the others. I have a lot of 'em!

And odd as it may seem, I think I like that little Woody Herman Philips Select the best of all. It's the one that most often gets me out of my chair and dancing like a lunatic around the room!
