Two More Sets Back In Stock

Mosaic Newsletter

Limited Editions Back In Stock!

 
The Complete Clifford Jordan Strata-East Sessions


 

256email.jpg

 

  

Strata-East began as a collaboration between pianist Stanley Cowell and trumpeter Charles Tolliver, who were forced into "self-publishing" when they couldn't find a label that would issue and market their "Music Inc." album.

Clifford Jordan liked what he heard and asked the team if they could press and release sessions he had made headlined by Pharoah Sanders, Charles Brackeen, Cecil Payne, Ed Blackwell, Wilbur Ware and himself on dates from 1968 and '69. The session led by Ware went unreleased until 2012, and the Blackwell session makes its first appearance here.

"The Complete Clifford Jordan Strata-East Sessions," bundles them all for the first time ever. It features the 6 outstanding unreleased tracks, by Ed Blackwell with a drum ensemble and a quartet featuring Don Cherry. Collectively, the sessions are a microcosm of the jazz world in the 1970s, where the power was always on and the ideas were electrifying.

Unsurprisingly, every track is an original - there's not one standard tune in the lot
 

 

 

"Appropriately this box includes what from many perspectives was Clifford Jordan's recorded masterwork, Glass Bead Games..this will certainly rekindle interest in and broaden consideration of Clifford Jordan's overall career, presenting as it does some unpolished diamonds and previously unreleased gems of a late-60s/early 70s recording period that is certainly overdue for this level of retrospective consideration." - Willard Jenkins, liner notes

Charles Mingus
The Jazz Workshop Concerts 1964-65


 

253largeemail.jpg

 

  

We all know about small, medium and large. Coach, Business, and First Class. And then there's urgent, critical, and life-threatening. At Mosaic, we have three stages, too: rare and historically important; acclaimed milestone; and undeniably monumental epic masterpiece.

We've uncovered another one of those epic masterpieces.

The set chronicles the essential live performances of this genius of modern music as his compositions achieved a depth and complexity we would come to know as Mingus's most signature work. It includes (on the earlier recordings) the brilliant Eric Dolphy, along with Jaki Byard, Dannie Richmond, Johnny Coles, and Clifford Jordan -- certainly one of the best assemblages of musicians ever.

Mosaic's box set includes an essay and track by track analysis by Mingus biographer Brian Priestley, an essay on the history of Charles Mingus Enterprises and many rare photographs from the concerts.  This is truly a find worth hearing, worth savoring, and worth collecting.

 

 

"Some jazz festivals settle immovable in one's memory," wrote downbeat. "Usually they have that rare and delicious moment when the intensity of a performance, its inspiration, is so overwhelming it sets off something akin to an electric shock... Such a performance roused the Sunday afternoon audience to a cheering, standing ovation at last month's Monterey Jazz Festival..."

I joined to share what may or may not be old news.  Mosaic are selling numerous new, sealed sets on eBay under their Bluenotesound store.  It took several days to get admin approval of my account here, and many items have been sold in that time. 

 

The sets I’ve looked at are numbered 0005 to 0035 (“private reserve” no doubt), and are being sold at a market premium, vice original price  So far I have purchased the Herbie Nichols and Teddy Wilson sets.  The UPS shipments come from Mosaic Records in Stamford -- immediately.  (Maybe not from the contract shipper’s warehouse?)

The following sets were listed with multiple copies available for purchase, and are still available:

COMPLETE BLACK LION THELONIOUS MONK-MOSAIC 3-CD SET MINT

COMPLETE BLUE NOTE HERBIE NICHOLS-MOSAIC 3-CD SET MINT

COMPLETE CBS EDDIE CONDON ALL STARS-MOSAIC 5 CD SET MINT

COMPLETE BUCK CLAYTON JAM SESSIONS-MOSAIC 6-CD SET MINT

COMPLETE STAN KENTON HOLMAN-RUSSO -MOSAIC 4-CD SET MINT

COMPLETE CBS STUDIO WOODY SHAW-MOSAIC 3-CD SET - MINT

COMPLETE SERGE CHALOFF-RARE MOSAIC 4 CD SET MINT

COMPLETE 1943-47 STAN KENTON -RARE MOSAIC 7-CD SET MINT

 

FWIW, there are printer cartridges in their list too, but no other goods.  Perhaps winding down; not obviously selling to the bare walls.  Bless ‘em for reinvesting in keeping sets in print.

Mosaic has been selling sets on eBay  for the past couple years.  I've purchased ten or so but I'm buying mostly the LP sets.  I did pick up the Chico Hamilton Quintet cd set for around $135 shipped.  It arrived today in your basic Mosaic box with all the bubble wrap.  Welcome to the board.

I still can't believe that this set is now only going for $99 on eBay. I remember when it consistently got >$300. I almost sold mine back then... I wish I had! I could re-buy now for only $99. :)

BTW, that Clayton set is one of my favorite Mosaic sets. Great jams with incredible musicians going on extended solos. The Hawk 's solos are pretty damn good.

The $300 price tag is a little too rich for my blood. 

Several on eBay right now for less $200... Here's one for $189 with free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SEALED-J-J-JOHNSON-MOSAIC-COMPLETE-COLUMBIA-SMALL-GROUP-SESSIONS-CD-BOX-/332289587275?hash=item4d5e00b84b:g:-~UAAOSw4A5Yud32

Just picked up one of those nice mint Buck Clayton sets from Mr Cuscuna. I have an LP version but this set is just so great that a digital version for frequent play is justified.

Fantastic 30th St Studio sound !
