televiper Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Thanks for everyone who checked out the interview. Scott was really generous with his time. Lots of great stuff happening with Bop and Beyond this summer. --------------------------------------------- http://bopandbeyond.wordpress.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 A good read. Wenzel seems to have a considerable influence, based just on the time frame of certain sets, on Mosaic's offerings — which is a good thing. Mosaic Select seems the place nowadays for more "modern" stuff. I sometimes wish that Mosaic would explore more "avant garde" recordings, but am still listening to and enjoying the Andrew Hill and Sam Rivers. What a great thing that Mosaic has grown and prospered over the years, and now decades. I hope there are many more decades to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 One of the things I've most appreciated about Scott is that he occasionally answers emails from loons like me and appears to have an inexhaustible (so far) tolerance for all the suggestions we inflict on him. Of course, *mine* are particularly valuable! Greg Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
televiper Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks again to everyone who checked out the interview.

crisp Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Buried at the end of Mosaic's Sunday email was a link to this interview with Scott Wenzel.Most interesting is this part: "At Mosaic I’m currently working on a James P. Johnson set as well as yet another Count Basie/Lester Young project." Any ideas what those could comprise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 The James P. was mentioned before here, I think ... another Basie/Lester sounds great ... but what is left from later years? Much of it is transcriptions and live recordings, would be a first for Mosaic to do such as set (and obviously there'd be some terrific live recordings from the period covered in the 1936-40 set).

John L Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Basie/Lester - Maybe a small group (i.e. Kansas City 6) set that could start out with the still unreleased alternates from the first 1936 session. Gathering all of Basie's or the Basieites' small group sessions from the 30s, 40s, and maybe early 50s would be a pretty substantial set, although it would probably require too many copyrights for Mosaic.Or could it be a complete Basie live at the Lincoln Hotel 1944 with Lester?

ghost of miles Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 It really is too bad that the Selects and Singles weren't financially sustainable; so much excellent material that came out in both of those series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
