Mosaic Select Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band
pglbook replied to pglbook's topic in Offering and Looking For...
Price reduced to $75 (+ shipping). Thanks. Offered for sale is a great (and pretty rare) Mosaic Select: Mosaic Select: Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band (3 CD, Mosaic Select, 2008) Limited Edition of 5,000 sets. This is a nice copy. I would rate the slipcase as VG+ due to the usual minor shelf wear to slipcase corners (quite common on the thin cardboard Mosaic Select slipcases), some slight rubbing to upper front panel of slipcase, and a small, perhaps 1/4", rubbed area to lower right corner of lower spine of slipcase due to what appears to be a price sticker removal as it still has a very small edge of price sticker present there. Jewel cases and CDs are all in excellent condition. Booklet is in nice condition save for a small (approx. 1") crease to top of rear cover of booklet. There are only a few copies for sale on discogs and the lowest current price on discogs is $90. I will offer it here for $15 lower than the lowest discogs price (see discogs link below). $75 + $6 media mail shipping (I will cover postal insurance). Payment by pay pal friends/family. https://www.discogs.com/release/3961301-Toshiko-Akiyoshi-Lew-Tabackin-Big-Band-Mosaic-Select Pics available upon request (please pm me an email address if pics desired so I can email photos). Satisfaction Guaranteed: Item is as described, and I will pack the item well, ship it in a sturdy small box, and provide a tracking # after shipping. However, if Buyer is unhappy with the item for whatever reason, Buyer may return the item to Seller (Buyer pays return shipping) within 7 days of receipt for a refund. Finally, please note that I can only mail items on a Friday or Saturday. Thanks. -

I have that 2008 Porter CD and consider the sound pretty good. I never heard the original release. It's an excellent album. I have quite a few Ted Daniel CDs. In my experience, the ones with the black covers on Ujamaa (I own the "Sextet" and "Loft Years" but not the solo release from Italy) have dodgy sound but others are OK.

Kevin: It's entirely you. I posted because I have been getting EA videos on FB and YT feeds, and been struck by much of what he says. What struck me most is the dissing of "telling a story" and the implicit contrast with Pres. I think that is a legit question for discussion, however it goes. As for the purpose of what he is selling its very clear that this approach, even if geared for "beginners" (which I do not think is his only market anyway) is his approach. So, play changes, don't tell a story. (BTW I finally put together that you mentioned that you are more or less retired, and you've put your screen name back. So I guess using your name is OK again.)

Dan - Maybe it's just me, but it seems like you're fishing for some anti-Eric Alexander sentiments here. I don't feel like playing that game. This video is about a new improv course Alexander is selling to beginners based on his years of teaching the subject. Of course his basic premise is going to be "Play changes", as it is pretty good advice for beginners.

MIles Davis “Someday My Prince will Come” Sony Blu-Spec CD2, stereo version 1000×1000 164 KB I have a handful of versions of this great album, and they all sound great. This Blu-Spec CD2 from last year is sounding great this morning.

I forgot how good this one is! With Thad Jones and Booker Ervin. Lambert, Hendricks and Bavan “Havin’ a Ball at the Village Gate” cd
-
What I was hoping for discussion on was his aversion to "telling a story" in a solo. Pres liked that. EA ain't Pres. What's the significance to musicians and others? And BTW I am pretty sure I have heard a ton of EA solos where he "gets angry" by the end.

Read Rosenthal's book a bit later in the early or mid 2000s and had the same reaction, it was totally ok but also not great - in sharp contrast to Gioia's much better book which I had read slightly earlier ... Wonder how I would like it upon rereading... Expectations are more realistic now but I guess my need for a generic book about hard bop is even less than it was then...
-
Listening to this one now trough Spotify and I am fascinated by it. Sound is pretty bad. Does anyone know if the 2008 cd reissue was an improvement over the original LP? For those unfamiliar with it: it’s with Jerome Cooper, Khan Jamal and some lesser know but excellent musicians:

This would have been my "general-purpose" recommendation upon reading the thread starter's particular questions too. Though I also found it generic (even in that semi-pre-internet era in the latter 90s when I bought it) and was a bit underwhelmed. But I guess my expectations had been set high by other books (that focus on individual jazz styles) that were more in-depth and detailed (such as the West Coast Jazz books by Ted Gioia and Robert Gordon). But I recently re-read Rosenthal's book and liked it better this time.
