connoisseur series500 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 The JJ's seem to be moving at a clip of about one copy per day -- not quite 'hotcakes'. This box set has been available forever. It doesn't quite rank as popular as hotcakes. It'll be interesting to see if there will be any price bump on the secondary market once it sells out. It might take some time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, there are plenty of people who are out there plunking down $20, 30+ more for a "scarce" NM Mobley or Jazztet set that's still available. Once you tack on 'Rare'/'OOP' to the listing, you'll pull in the same sort of melonhead like me who'll spend $100+ for some 'Rare'/'OOP' mini-lp!!!

ASNL77 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) It took a long time but this set is now officially OOP. Bye Bye J.J! What a great set this is. Edited May 12, 2006 by ASNL77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Glancing at my database, I see that I bought this set in... 1996 Hard to believe it was available for 10 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobley will be my next purchase. I REALLY don't want to be without that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Anyone have any thoughts on the Mosaic Single "J.J."? The clips sure sound intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 It's very good. Great tunes, first-rate charts (by Oliver Nelson and Gary McFarland) - it's a nice contrast to the many hard bop style dates in his discography. If you like Johnson, I can't imagine not having this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 It's very good.

If you like Johnson, I can't imagine not having this one. It's a good record, but I still think J.J.'s RCA records would have made a good Select. "The Total J. J. Johnson" is every bit as good as "J.J." IMHO, and it would be fun to have the more commercial stuff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I asked this before and didn't get a reply , so I'll try again . On J.J. ! , are the two previously unissued Tom McIntosh charts of the same quality as the Johnson and McFarland ones ? I ask , because I already have the Spanish RCA CD which sounds good , and so my decision on whether or not to upgrade to the Mosaic depends on the answer . Also , do those who have heard Stonebone think it would be a worthy candidate for Mosaic Singles treatment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnyhill Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I slept on the J.J. Johnson Mosaic. I downloaded it from a friendly source and just got around to listening to it. It is one of the best box sets from start to finish that I have listened to. Question to those familiar with the set: On my digital version there are noticeably glitches at the 2:00 mark on "Walking" on Disc 4 and at the 1:20 mark on "Laura" on Disc 4. Is that the case on all copies? I just want to know whether it just was an issue with the download. I will probably be looking to score 2d hand copy.

I played my "office mp3" versions just now and neither of those songs had a glitch so it's likely your source. I doubt that Exact Audio Copy is that good.
