Lyin' Wolf Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 The Wilson and Savory sets are released. Sets listed on the site are dwindling - seemingly in a strategy to reduce the costs associated with carrying that inventory. Or, I suppose - to eventually shut down. Anything in the pipeline as far as new sets go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Reducing inventory and, thus, costs is part of a strategy but it can't be your only course of action. I've been wondering what might be in the pipeline. Edited May 26, 2018 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I don’t think that would appeal to me but I’m sure it would be successful for Mosaic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were at least some takes issued on the original cd release of the WC Handy record that weren't on the later cd. And then there's Pops teaching Lotte Lenya how to syncopate Mack the Knife that's on an Avakian produced Kurt Weil cd.

Quote from this post: " Michael Cuscuna told me that they did indeed begin the planning for a Burton RCA set at one point, but that they were unable to secure the rights for it because Sony wanted a guaranteed number of sets that was higher than what Mosaic felt was financially viable.

Dan Gould Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 It's interesting and a little disconcerting that we currently know of no pipeline sets. I know there was encouraging talk reported during the garage sale but do they really have literally no solid plans at this time? Are they depending on the Savory and Wilson sets to finance the next one(s) and have to wait and see? Or could this really be it and they didn't want that news out yet?

Brad Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 It's fun to speculate but we don't know what's taking place one way or the other. This same discussion could have taken place last year at this time and lo and behold we not only got the Wilson set, but the Savory set. In other words, nobody knows.

Daniel A Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Speaking of which, I haven't seen any updates from Mosaic in the data privacy area. If nothing else, maybe we could request them to release a new GDPR compliant privacy policy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I'm seriously starting to get a picture of the store being at best lightly minded, with Blue Barron records playing when it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Scott has mentioned other possibilities, but the only one I know of that seems to be in some kind of motion is the aforementioned Armstrong. At one point they were considering an Art Pepper Contemporary set, but that didn’t pan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 The Pepper never made sense as a Mosaic. As a body of work it is a monument to Pepper and Koenig, but I do not see anything gained by the Mosaic treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Brad said, better inventory management is part of a strategy. I didn't think my remark would have been taken as "this is the single strategy that will save our company". I'm not a businessman, so perhaps you know better, but inventory management seems like a sound way to control costs. Having hundreds or thousands of sets sitting on shelves in a warehouse doesn't seem to be very liquid, or smart, to me - especially when no one is buying the product because you may have pressed too many sets.
