T.D. Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Received weekly e-mail today, subject line Free Shipping - Get Before Gone FS on $50 domestic US until 10/1, international/Canada shipping claimed reduced (I didn't read the fine print). Buying opportunity, but looking more and more like a liquidation. Edited September 10, 2017 by T.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Yeah, I'm long past the point where I only buy stuff just to hear it right away, especially something like this, where I already know a fair portion of the contents. Still, glad to get it, and even more glad to know that it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Just heard from Scott that the James P. Johnson set is now expected later this month (September 2017). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Let' see whether I can afford a set next month ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 A Bill Barron set would prime my pump. Otherwise, all the things that they are offering that I want, I have. Can't pump turnips from a pig's ear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm in the same situation, even before the announced problems I had been buying all the sets I wanted and there was nothing in print that I needed to purchase. I may get a set or two as Xmas presents when the present-deciding and -buying season begins. . . or may not. . . we'll see. I wish Mosaic well, the best really.

I was planning on ordering the Clifford Jordan during the stampede, but ran into a bunch of home and auto repair expenses that wiped out the CD budget. My birthday is coming up in October, so maybe I can use that (or related gift certificate) to justify a purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr jazz Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Just did my bit (once again) and purchased the Armstrong #257 as it's on the last chance list plus free shipping. Believe it or not, this will be the first Armstrong in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psu_13 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I ordered a couple of the out of print sets (Curtis Fuller, Thad Jones) from bluenotesound on ebay (which I gather is run by one of the Mosaic people). Two essentially brand new boxes with the disks still wrapped showed up in 3 days. Hah. Might get the Beehive stuff later. I'm not sure.

jazzbo Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yes, bluenotesound is Mr. Cuscuna himself. I really enjoy the Beehive set. . . I'm not really much of a Hartman fan but I even enjoy his album therein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Well, fuck it. Brenda's retiring in a week, Mosiac's running on fumes, so what the hell, I ordered the Armstrong Decca while I still can. Not going to be "revelatory" for me, I know most of the material well enough. But hey, fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend to almost anybody. Your ideal rate of consumption might be something to consider before diving in for binge-listening, but, yeah, it's all very good in whatever size dose works best and it will be good to have when you're in the mood for it.
