mjazzg Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 How about a yak with no wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 My favorite Mosaic set, given the quality of the music and the difficulty in finding much of the material elsewhere (Blue Note has not been kind to Elvin Jones in the CD era).

clifford_thornton Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yeah, all of these records are excellent. It doesn't seem like they get talked about much among the BN hounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I grown to really like the later studio material, discs #5 and #6 of the set, a lot more than when I first heard them. Not the very best material out of the whole set, but too easily overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 The cover album giveth the face... ...and the album cover taketh it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 One of Mosaic's REAL downfalls is not including album sleeves in the notes (and those two are really nice). MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 As was this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I forget, was the date with Lee Morgan only issued as part of one of the brown-cover two-fers? Or did it ever get issued by itself (as a single LP)? Or, rather, what cover (or covers) have ever accompanied the Elvin date from this set with Lee Morgan? I've always wished it had come out on CD by itself at some point -- an easily overlooked/underrated date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 The Morgan date was only on the twofer. Strange, because it's fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 The Morgan date was only on the twofer. Strange, because it's fabulous. Yes, it came out first time on the brown twofer back around 1975/76 coupled with the 'At This Point In Time' session. I remember buying it as a cutout and being astonished at just how good it was. Prime Elvin and Morgan - with the added bonus of fine Coleman and Farrell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougcrates Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Considering the great response that Hank got for his OOP Mosaic sets did I overprice the Elvin Jones set? Or is it just that everyone that wants it has it? I'm curious to know. If so, I'll just move it to Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I think it was your unwillingness to consider the yak and the wheeless skateboard. That type of blatant prejudice is no longer politically correct ! Price seems fair enough to me, and you were open to offers. Can't ask for more than that. I'd jump on it if I didn't already have it. If you think of it, let us know how you make out on ebay with the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElginThompson Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Elvin Jones Mosaic is in constant rotation. Set is amazing. I paid a pretty penny for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Shearn Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 The music on this set is some of the best of Elvin's career I think, and a small treasure of gold in the lean Butler/UA era Blue Note era. I dig the session with Morgan and Coleman a lot also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarThrower Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I recently picked up five of the titles from CD Japan. I like having the original album covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
