So do we know for certain that the tapes were destroyed??? Update anyone? Especially you guys in contact with Wenzel.... :unsure: I hope you're kidding ... I wish I were! Talked to Wenzel this morning.

Ahmad Jamal last night in Cambridge MA..... Excellent set... even though I'm sick as a dog....

Okay all this talk about these names has got me confused... Who do you consider a jazz singer and why? I consider all of them (except Bing) a jazz singer... Sinatra is on the borderline... but I'm leaning more towards liking his stuff.... What say you???? :unsure:

Coupla hundred maybe.... but I will not be among them.... It would be $119 plus shipping. 7 cd Mosaic sets are usually that price. I don't know if there are 1000 people in the world who would pay that for a 7 cd set of Bing, especially with just a trio backing him on all 7 discs, in good times or bad.

I guess you don't consider Sinatra a jazz singer? :unsure: Or do you and he's just not your cup of tea...?

not to hijack this thread..... :unsure: but does anyone have any thoughts about the upcoming Sinatra box below? thanks

I'll be skipping this one.. but I've got my eye on this new Sinatra release coming out in November... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ER&v=glance I generally avoid the pop/jazz vocal icons... but the Sinatra has got me interested....

IHMO You ain't missing much... I have this set and was EXTREMELY disappointed with it...

okay now that the roof really DID cave in... I copped and got the last two Selects I was holding out on... the Hill Solo and the Woody Herman...

One of the interesting things about this news/thread is that it says a little bit about our buying habits. I, for one, have always taken the following attitude with the Mosaic sets that If I definitely/probably/leaning towards wanting it, and I happen to have a little extra cash, I just get it. The result of this was that when the bad news hit... I had nearly every set I wanted (- a few Selects which are still in print). The downsides is that there are some sets I was VERY disappointed in ... (most notably the Dinah Washington).... Overall though.. I've taken the approach if I'm 55% in favor of a set.. I usually get it... I am glad though that when this debacle happened... it didn't really impact me...

I'm beginning to think it is.... :o Yeah, wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg.

Did everyone get this email?? I didn't... <_<

that sucks royally!

I had an intuitive feeling that would happen.... :rolleyes: and therefore... I am in no need to panic.... :excited: quote name='tranemonk' date='Aug 7 2009, 01:28 PM' post='941957'] Okay I caved... Had a little extra in the paycheck this week.... ;)

Disc 2 Mulligan Concert Jazz Band... before a LONG flight out to California...

I would have to concur with that... I was just listening to the Disc 6? (The Art Farmer Quartet session).... :tup

Disc 3 ... Dig Ben! Storyville box released last year... :excited: (I'm in a Ben Webster Mood.... :cool: ) The sound on this disc is EXCELLENT!!!!

Johnny Smith Small Group Roost Sessions... Discs 7 and 8....

Did anybody find out what GBH does have? And if so... what's the plan for getting it out either on DVD and/or CD???

Don't let it go by... I think you might regret it... It's one of my top 5!! :excited:

Onto Ben Webster on the now OOP Columbia Swing Sessions Disc 8

Onto Horace Parlan Disc V Very nice.... :tup

Jazz Crusaders Disc 3... Haven't listened to this in a while... Although the first cut "On Broadway" isn't thrilling me.... :mellow: okay it got a lot better... Went onto Disc 4... :rolleyes:

huh :wacko: And why would someone trade you an OOP 8-CD set for an in-print 3CD set??? In any case... I love them both!

Lovano was excellent... Michel a little disappointing... for those interested.... http://www.boston.com/ae/music/articles/20...how_in_newport/ Day 1 - An AMAZING duet session with Branford Marsalis & Joey Calderazzo.... :excited: An awesome set from the Joshua Redman Double Trio... :excited: A very good (not great) set from Esperanza Spalding... I'm off to Day 2... Really looking forward to Michel Camilo and Joe Lovano US Five...
