Posted 22 Oct 2015 The Quincy Jones big band and the Duke Ellington small groups sets are now on last chance. The Joe Pass and Oliver Nelson sets are now running low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Oct 2015 Love the Quincy set. On the fence about the Ellington box. I have so much of his music already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 Oct 2015 Glad I already got the Quincy, Woody, and Ellington Small Group sets, as there are no funds left right now due to unforeseen circumstances. Sound on all is excellent. Hopefully finances will recover before anything else runs low that I still have on the wish list ... I'm not sure if I will regret not getting the Oliver Nelson set - but I have some of it and didn't like "Sound Pieces" very much - guess I like him more as a tenor soloist than arranger.

Posted 25 Oct 2015 Interesting - 'Sound Pieces' was the bit of that set that really stood out as a highlight for me, along with the 'Kennedy Dream' and 'Jazzhattan Suite'. Nice set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 Oct 2015 Never heard "The Kennedy Dream" ... I have a lot of CDs with Nelson arranging, and like some of it a lot, but never find it as fascinating as Quincy, McFarland, Thad Jones, Gerald Wilson, just to name a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 24 Nov 2015 (edited) The following Mosaic box set is running low. On content that is! Some eBay clown is selling an EMPTY Woody Shaw Muse box for $100! No CDs, no book. Just a piece of cardboard.

Posted 19 Dec 2015 Seems to me the Lee Wiley Single CD is new to the Last Chance list - can anybody comment on this disc? Have trouble playing the samples - my notebook's sound card seems to be defective ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Dec 2015 Mike, amazon.com has snippets of each tune as samples on pages for each separate earlier cd editions. I much prefer earlier Wiley material, but these are good albums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have trouble playing the samples - my notebook's sound card seems to be defective ... It's great. Though I haven't actually heard this issue I do have this: which I think contains everything on the Mosaic except two cuts. Whenever I play this friends, many of whom aren't jazz fans, comment on how good it is. Edited 19 Dec 2015 by medjuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Dec 2015 The Lee Wiley is a good one - I need to dig it out again from the racks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 20 Dec 2015 Geez - I have that RCA reissue ... thanks for pointing it out; that may have been the reason I never ordered the Mosaic CD. My sound card was okay - after some giant Windows update last night everything was working like before .... no idea what was going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
