How do you guys store these? I purchased a vinyl box a long time ago and have about 50-60 sets/booklets but I don't think my setup is good for long term care. I know the booklets are valuable. Thanks,

Best Historical Jazz Releases 2021
tranemonk replied to ghost of miles's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Which discs or sets are harder to hear? -
It's such a bad commercial because she doesn't seem comfortable in the red high heels and it's been played like 1000 times in the last few weeks.

I get the frustration but I'm cool with waiting to see what happens with the shipping starts. I had kinda gave up hope a few years ago that Mosaic was going to put out anything other than Blue Note and Armstrong stuff. I've been thrilled with the Desmond and am looking forward to this Tristano release. Personally I'm just grateful they're still around turning out some good stuff. Now can someone get them to find and release some unreleased Betty Carter live please....

Anybody got a link for ordering or sound samples?

This one sucks to me... I was lucky enough to see him a few times (maybe twice?)... Love all his records... His comeback was incredible... I hate this stuff... Thank you Pat...

Anthony Braxton Quartet Standards 2020
tranemonk replied to tranemonk's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
I'm just about finished listening to this set. Overall I really like it. As previously mentioned my main pet peeve is the lack of audience response. Much of sounds like a studio recording (which would be fine) but if I didn't know better I would not assume this was recorded before an audience. My only other minor complaint is a few tracks (not many) just feel uneven. I can't really explain but that is what it feels like to me. However generally..... I'm a happy camper... On to Lee Morgan sometime later this week. -
Just heard he died... Sad... We owe that man a whole lot... As someone who's been to the Newport Jazz Festival for 20 years, I know Christian McBride took over a few years ago but George was still around a lot... RIP good man.

Anthony Braxton Quartet Standards 2020
tranemonk replied to tranemonk's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Have to say I'm about halfway through and I'm loving it. My only annoyance is there seems to be very few tracks which include the audience response, which is frustrating. Wasn't all of this recorded live in front of audiences pre-COVID? Why wouldn't it be included??? -
Where did you see the cause of death? All i saw was the announcement of the death?? Awful..

I'm a couple of cds' in (probably 2 or 3). I'm enjoying it via small bites at a time. -
I happened to be bored and curious when it was live streamed and now 24 hours I have this stuck in my head... .....

I'd be hyped about both... esp. Elvin... -
Lee Morgan - Complete Live at the Lighthouse
tranemonk replied to Mark13's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Amen... preach on.... -
okay not to hijack this thread... but what would you consider the best 'Trane biography???? I find many jazz bios poorly written and too hyperbolic. I did love Robin Kelley's Monk bio...
-
okay, now I have a few questions about this.... 1. Has anyone heard what Ravi has to say about this? I assume he knew it existed prior to Resonance reaching out to the estate. 2. Was there only one set that night? Doesn't it seem odd that 'Trane only played one set of this material? If he was performing it live it's hard to conceive that he only played it once - ever? - Okay I'm editing myself. How does this differ than the Deluxe Edition which had a live performance on it? 3. Why is this coming out now??? I know it takes a long time to get the rights and stuff.. but????
