Posted 10 April Leaning against it. Excellent project, credit to Mosaic Lotta material that attracts, but vocals appeal less and the sticker price is significant. Will preorder for the discount if I go for it, but that'll be a decision for late May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was one of those great Mosaic box sets where I had none of the music in my collection before I got the set. I am particularly fond of the HRS box, and the Capitol Records box is not far behind.

Posted 10 April I ordered the Black & White set as soon as I saw the email. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 April (edited) Enough material in that box to trigger my interest. Edited 11 April by mikeweil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 April The Hip Chicks!!! sold me bit of Lucky Thompson there too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 April (edited) I pre-ordered the set. Fills some gaps in my collection, sound quality is always excellent, liner notes should be good, and I support Mosaic... Edited 11 April by hopkins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 April Now pre-ordered. Looking forward to doing a Night Lights show based around this set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 12 April Is this the first Mosaic set Scott (Wenzel) has produced? (Forgive me if I'm overlooking any of his prior production credits.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 12 April (edited) No. He's co-produced a number of sets before. He is one of three co-producers of the latest Armstrong. Edited 12 April by jazzbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 April I'm on the fence with this one as I'm not familiar with a lot of the artists. Is there any streaming/digital stuff of these musicians that would give me a taste of what will be on box set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any streaming/digital stuff of these musicians that would give me a taste of what will be on box set? The Earle Spencer material is on Spotify (as reissued by Fresh Sound). I've hear enough B&W 78s to know that I'll be an interesting voyage of discovery for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 18 April The Fresh Sound Spencer is on Apple too. Crazy that FS is the one that gets this music on an American streaming platform. Not sure that’s legal but interested parties can’t afford to sue these companies anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iirc his first set was the Mildred Bailey back around 2000 or so--he's produced several dozen sets, actually! And gotten three Grammy nominations, for the Bix/Tram/Teagarden collection, the Woody Herman Columbia box, and the Lester Young/Count Basie on Columbia set.

We'll see, but I wouldn't expect this one until the end of the summer. I'd be delighted to be wrong! gregmo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
