I'd be all for it.. but to me the difference is that the Jamal will sell better...

I don't believe so.. It's with the WDR Big Band in Germany

Just finished giving it my first listen.. Outstanding... I'll go as far to say that it will end up as of my top 10 for 2010.... :excited: :excited:

This better not be a premature April Fools Day joke.... :unsure:

I completely agree... Just call them... No need to shout. What about your money order? They've not gone under, so you've not lost the money. What are you so worked up about? Again, no need to shout. Warn you about what? That Mosaic is having a difficult time? Almost everyone here knows that, and there's no need for them to tell you. You're acting as if they've gone out of business, which isn't the case.

What's up with ALL the caps??? :tdown

no I didn't... Never got it... :tdown

No I get the emails... :unsure: Maybe because you usually order by phone and not on-line, and aren't on their email list? I got one too, and I'm certainly not an insider.

I wonder why I didn't get the email??? :mellow: :mellow: Are you on some kind of insider list???

Fuck...Why do I feel depressed???? I really hope the Ellington comes out before its over....

I can't help you with those questions but I'm thrilled to know about the next release!!! Do you know when it will be available for purchase?? thanks so much!

do you have a website or link? I tried and couldn't find anything

I'm interested but that's a little steep for me.... :( :(

this is amazing music.. As I have all the individual discs... I'll be skipping this one... I'm 90% sure the boxed set does not have anything new... (or unavailable on the individual discs...) Can someone confirm or deny??? thanks

I'm totally with you Ken... There is a simple elegance to the Mosaic sets... And in this day and age... we could use with a LOT more simple elegance.... :blush2:

I'm new to this series and am trying to get some of the older volumes (2,3, 5-9).... The ONLY places I can find them are amazon (at $30 a pop new) or storyville's website for $40 a pop... :crazy: Anybody got any ideas... Anybody got an extra unopened copy of Vol. 8, they'd be willing to sell??? thanks :o

Thanks Brownie!!! I'm still on the fence about this one..... :mellow: Oh... I thought JSP was one of the "bad" labels (e.g., no royalties)...? :beee: The VJC 4CD set includes 104 tunes. Some 20 of those have additional vocals by non King Cole-trio members!

Good man... OP's singing is quite acceptable.... :winky: Okay, you convinced me: OP disk two. I really enjoy this set...

The problem I'm having with this set.. is the plethora of backup vocals as described in the link I posted earlier.. In general I DON'T think they work. I hated them with the Dinah Washington set.. and have basically dismissed them... If the earlier review is right.. Regrettably I might have to pass this one up.... :angry: Now is someone's who's got the earlier set.. can tell me that these backup vocals constitute less than 10% of the set... then maybe... :unsure: but somehow I doubt it.... :angry:

Now Oscar Disc 6.... :tup

Johnny Hodges Disc 2....

his double-CD Twi-Life is very good...

Oscar - Disc 7...

Moved onto Oscar Peterson Disc 3.... :blush2:

Duke Small Group Disc 7.... :tup Now Disc 4.... sound issues.. but what could they do???
