thanks for that link.. Kinda interesting...

You're making me a little more interested in this set... I'm going to have to dig out Dedicated to Connie and take another listen...

No not really... I just take the tack that most Mosaic sets are worth buying...(I just make Mosaic sets a moderately high discretionary item....) You must have plenty of green to spare if you're ready to spring for a Mosaic box on a group you don't dig.

I continue to see a plethora of typos and misspellings since more and more organizations/companies increase their online/blog sites... Horrible...

Although I've never been a huge MJQ fan... I think I probably will get this set and try to give them another try....

So does this mean that Hip-O-Select is the new bully on the block... My main issue is that their stuff is really overpriced (presumably justified by them with extremely mediocre and unnecessary packaging...)... I thought we were done with BAD overpriced packaging at the end of the 1990s :(

I don't get this partnership at all... Hip-O-Select is a relatively new player with overpriced recordings and mediocre packaging... Why not release the Getz as a Mosaic Select? I hope this is not a portend of things to come....

Can's really answer any of your questions but it was a great label... I got a lot of those when they came out especially the two-fers... Only wish I had gotten those Woody Shaw two-fers....

I'd go with the Jazz Crusaders.. It's a fun set.. don't have the Parker though... Can't get into the solos only thing...

Bummer... Cindy would have fixed this..... My Turrentine box recently came with no number - not in the booklet, not on the receipt. I asked Mosaic for the #, and got this reply from Scott: "The booklets are pre-numbered and therefore we have no idea what each set is numbered. This is one of the downfalls of the economy as we are now just 3 people in offices, while a fulfillment house a few miles away is where the warehouse is. Sorry for the inconvenience." Music's still great, though.

No change

I caught this one on NPR yesterday.. http://www.npr.org/2010/12/15/132079058/john-hammond-the-ear-of-an-oracle

The numbers are no longer on the inside of the booklet. Look at the back. Their either on the back cover or inside back cover. Got through the first 8 discs.. Sounds fine to me... There's a couple of tracks with minor problems but it's fine.

just got mine yesterday.. #186 ... This will definitely help grading all these god awful exams ..... :rolleyes:

LOL.. Love that one...

I don't get the whole... I wanted it thing... not to want it... We know that Mosaic does use consumer feedback (e.g., people and boards like this one) to gauge potential interest in a set... It would seem to me that if you wanted it then... why not now? (If for one was never interested in Threadgill, Braxton....)

My problem with all of these Hip-O-Selects is not the music... The problem is they are over-priced and the packaging sucks..... :angry:

Really sad... I had the serious hots for her in an Unmarried Woman.... I think I was 13 or 14 at the time... First "R" rated movie I saw by myself..... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

They're working now... In any case I ordered my set today...

You guys are nudging me..... :angry: What I would say is that Windows 7 is a very good operating system... Still too bloated but much better than what Microsoft has done before....

I have to say that I'm considering switching... I thought the Ipad was kind of a joke... but the apps in the Apple store do have me intrigued.... I might wait until Verizon gets the Iphone and then consider it.

Wish I could go... But I just did order the CD from the Jazz Legacy site... and I'd definitely be interested in the French release.... :tup

Looking forward to it Laurie... How many CD's will it be??? Is that the next planned release?? thanks for doing all of this!

I hope this is an approved release and Laurie is getting something out of this.... :unsure:

Disc 1 - the Storyville Duke Box
