You're doing what I hope to be doing in 30 years... Keep it up!!!!!

I try to grab any and all Jackie McLean I could.. I've got it...

I would concur..VIjay Iyer is NOT a big name but interesting pick.. I loved his Newport Set (downloadable at nPR.org)

Disc 4 - OP - Exclusively For my Friends... Truly Gorgeous solo work here... :tup :tup

You just got my donation.... thanks for providing a great space!

Okay that's cool!!!

Do we have any better estimate on when these sets are going out??? I'm waiting impatiently!!!

Create a database of the CDs, back them up digitally and then decide... it depends if you are going to listen to them... I would keep all/most of them as my tastes over time has changed... Ten years ago there was NO way I would listen to (much less buy) Bing Crosby, Henry Threadgill , etc... It also depends on your age... If you think you will grow with the collection.. Keep it... If you were going to donate it.. I'd recommend a public library... that way other people can have access to it. When I donate my CD's that's where they go...

Only if it was an open bar...

Joe Pass Disc 5..

Very interesting... I'm happy they've got some co-sponsors (which is presumably helping the bottom line - which is what we are interested in)... Not sure what the price tag is but I'd be up for it if I had the $$$$ (and could get the wife and kid to go....) :mellow:

Haven't gotten it yet.. (Had Mosaic hold it to ship with the Jamal set...) Guess you're not a fan of the Herman?? ((either the Select or the full box?)

I forgot to tell you that I caved in on that one a month ago.... Now it's between the Artie Shaw/Woody Herman & Herman Select + Young/Basie

No but I know what it is,, So what should I get???? You lucky dog! You already got your gift?

Personally.. I'm still holding out for my Betty Carter Select, Cal Tjader box and some unreleased live Michel Petrucciani .... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Complete Capitol Recordings of Woody Herman - _disc 5.. Trying to decide what to spend my upcoming Fathers Day present (Mosaic Gift Certificate.. :excited: ) on... 1_ Columbia Woody Herman 2. Artie Shaw OR 3. Woody Herman Select + Lester Young/Basie Set...... :unsure: :unsure: Any suggestions?????

I think the 2CD set live at the Blue Note is perhaps his best....

My Bad....

Glad this worked out for you... The Basie set is a good one... Good choice! EXCELLENT deal! Congrats! You'll love the Basie set. I preordered the Jamal set today. No problems...so far. gregmo

Not sure who that is... but what about Curtis Fuller...??? not to mention McCoy Tyner.. (sorry I might have to put him ahead of Jarrett....) :blush2:

Have we forgotten... Lee Konitz on Alto...

I kinda tend to agree with you (mostly)....

Up on CDU... http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8214797 Some info here... http://www.gerryhemingway.com/news.html How similar/different would these be than the Mosaic???? thanks... :huh:

This is not good... I really hope this move is overall a good thing though
