I'm not sure if someone already posted this but I'm looking forward to it. Sounds like two 2-cd releases with a third forthcoming. Looks promising. Has anybody got any more info? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/31/arts/music/ahmad-jamal-live-albums.html

Listening to it right now... I don't understand why he is so often forgotten???? My top 5 pianists (probably top 3).

I'm totally into this JATP set... so do we know how much of this set has been previously released on CD in the US?

Wow 10Cds.. JATP... okay I'm going to have to save my $ and hold off with the Hubbard to get that set. Who's likely to get the most tracks on this set??? Which of these has been on CD previously?

I can't get to the web page for some odd reason. Can someone post a synopsis of the set(s)? Also, I've got a question for you guys. Since Mosaic has gone through this new process of announcing a set close to its shipping date, it seems sets sell out MUCH quicker. It used to be that a set could be on the website for 3-6 months. Now it seems like they're gone after a month or so. Do we have an ETA for the JATP set? Also how long the Hubbard set is going to be available? I'm slightly inclined to get it as I only have one of those CDs but cash flow is low this month...

Hallelujah....!! I miss him. Thought the jazz world forgot about him. I'm there. Wish it was a boxed set though...

Christian McBride posted a long note about this on his Instagram page... Joey and a few days after Jamie Branch's death at 39... Not a good week,

Glad to hear it. I received mine last week. Just haven't had the time and space to give it a listen yet.

I've been wondering the same thing. I loved that last boxed set.

Okay, so I'm going Saturday mainly to see Maria Schneider and Joe Lovano. Does anybody know anything about these vocalists or have seen any of them perform? Lady Blackbird, Samara Joy, and Melanie Charles? I used to like Esperanza Spalding but she's kinda worn on me... I did check out Holly Bowling (I know she's a pianist, not a vocalist). I liked her a lot...Looking forward to that set. https://www.newportjazz.org/lineup

One of my top 5 Mosaic sets...

okay so let me see if I understand this... Vol. 6 was a 4CD set that had been published numerous times in several different sets and Vol. 7 is a 3cd set that no one wanted to release in 40 years. Did I miss anything? What am I not getting?

Given that the sale price ends today.... I'm assuming the sets would be shipping soon. Anyone get a shipping notice or update? Thanks.

Something I haven't listened to in a long time....

Awful.. I didn't know about her but I've been seeing tributes from musicians on social media. Just terrible.

Yes, I have... I'm going to try adding a subwoofer and see if that helps. Thanks though.

Honestly... I know it's sacrilegious to say this but every Mosaic Armstrong box (except the most recent one which I didn't buy). The ONLY Louis Armstrong I can get into is his dates with Ella. No matter how many times I listen and try, he just doesn't work for me. I get his importance - I just can't get into his sound. I also regret getting the Bing Crosby set (mainly because I wish it was like 4 discs and not the 8 or 10 it was).

Ditto here... Same reason I use Paypal with Mosaic...

I highly recommend the Kanto family. I have the Kanto Yu2's. My ONLY problem with them is in order for them to get loud it needs to be at max volume. I have tried the Yu4's which are better (Bluetooth and louder) but there's a big price bump between the two models. I've only gotten the active models not the passive although I have heard they sound much better with a subwoofer. I like these so much because of the color options (which is something very different from just the average black desktop speaker). All models are more expensive than standard computer speakers though. https://www.amazon.com/Kanto-YU2-Powered-Desktop-Speakers/dp/B00GMPDAHM/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3BYX1YF1H8U8C&keywords=kanto%2Byu2&qid=1654430778&sprefix=%2Caps%2C51&sr=8-2&th=1

I might be interested in Plex as well but I'm assuming it can't incorporate music purchased THROUGH Itunes (DRM) or am I wrong about that?

I'm not quite following the technical problem here. I can also say as a Mac user with a large library (about 800GB) that Itunes/Music App is messed up. I don't know if this will help the original poster, but I keep my music library on the hard drive, backed up to two external drives via Time Machine. The problem I had is that if you have an Apple Music subscription, (in my experience) the app's default is to automatically sync your music to the cloud. In my case that was a disaster. As you know it takes a ton of time to upload anything that large. Our stuff (esp. things like alternate takes, etc.) get lost and confused by the Itunes upload. As a result, I lost a ton of stuff (including some Mosaic sets). I'm still tracking down my physical discs to try and find what I missed but it's a mess thanks to Apple Music.

Completely agree... I might have to add this one to my queue.

Same rationale here.

Okay, I caved. Don't know if I'll really like this set or if it will just be okay. Given the time and effort Mosaic has put into this and the fact that these recordings won't see the light of day after this set is gone... was enough for me. Worth a shot.

I stand corrected.. twice...
