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...

Should arrive today.... part of the reason I ordered it is A) Based on the number (187) it's due to go OOP soon B) They had it in stock.... C) Good reviews.. Just got it... #4096... Gotta put it in the listening queue though....

I'm surprised that they did.... That runs counter to my experiences with them.... :unsure: Even if times are hard that's very bad, if they don't have it and don't know when they're going to get it, they shouldn't have charged you.

Okay I caved... Had a little extra in the paycheck this week.... ;)

More power to you.. seriously.. No matter how I tried I just could NOT get into this set... :unsure: This is the (and hopefully will always be) ONLY the Mosaic I've ever gotten rid of... Hopefully someone at my local library will dig it more than I did....

great thread... I've always been wondering about this set... It's odd since the Mosaic website doesn't have any soundclips... After reading this and listening to the samples... I might have to add this to my wish list... :o

Dizzy's Phillips/Verve sessions Discs 5 and 6!!...

Disc 4 of The London House Sessions (O.P).

Who's going?? Quite the lineup... Old-timers and new innovators... http://www.jazzfestival55.com/ I'll be there for both days... :excited:

Now onto Disc 4... Mainly for the set with Oscar Peterson!! :rolleyes:

The One and Only Ms. O'Day... Disc 9.... !!! I cannot express how glad I am I got this one before it went OOP.... :excited: :excited:

FYI... My Herman Set arrived today.... :tup

It was a bit harsh.... particularly... the "Ms. Pepper lobbies hard for the ’70s as his prime period, when he had finally made it through jail, drugs and rehab, and found a synthesis of his past styles." I LOVE his 70's stuff... I don't think I need anyone to lobby me on that... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/26/arts/music/26play.html Keep up the wonderful work Laurie... I look forward to the next (hopefully 2CD) set...!

Yea. and you know HOW many people would beat down their door for the Cole??? I'm in first in line... :crazy:

Disc 3 (and probably 4:) of Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Studio Sessions... Haven't listened to this in a long time... :cool: :cool:

Disc 3 of From Johnny Griffin with Love...

Hi Laurie... I know you just got done with this mammoth task... but I'm wondering... When do you think Vol. 5 will be out? And will it be another 2CD live set?? thanks for everything you are doing... You've inspired me to add to my Art collection!!!

Good man.... :tup I had one of the CD's before.. but the price was GOOD for two other live sessions + a DVD.. I was reading the liner notes and it's a nice little box.... Unfortunately I suspect it may one of the only Griffin sets we'll get... Mine is still in the mail. I think more people would be into it if they didn't already have quite a bit of the material. Right now I'm grooving to the Canadian Universal Oscar Peterson set.

Just got my shipping notice on the Herman....
