Disc 1 of From Johnny Griffin with Love... (the new box from Storyville that no one but me seems to be interested in..... :unsure: ) I'm enjoying it... :rolleyes:

When I called them - they said they were waiting to get the sets from their distributor... They thought the sets would go out Friday... :(hopefully)...

Wow.. 50 Herman sets gone in a few hours! That's impressive... Glad I got mine.. I was told it was shipping on Friday... I don't know if I'll like it.. but I've let one too many go by that I waffled about... Very happy I got a second chance... :excited:

I think I might have gotten one of the last Hermans!!

Damn that was fast!!! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get a shipping notice soon.... :unsure: I would mildly recommend the Parlan set for those of you interested...

trying to grab the Herman also... Fingers crossed :unsure:

thank you doing all of this Laurie.. It takes someone with integrity and passion to keep this stuff alive and still coming out.. Even though I did have part of Disc 1 before (e.g., Mosaic Select) I am very happy to have the rest... Discs 2 and 3 (particularly the live songs) are killer material.. )) Personally I really seem like the late 70s Art.... I've got all 4 and I look forward to the next one... thank you.

Discs 1 through 3... of the new Art History Project... Disc 3 the best of the bunch!!!!!!!

Finally got my copy yesterday... as much as I'm enjoying it... please note that there is some duplication between Disc 1 and the Mosaic Select... Its' only about 5 or 6 tunes as I can tell... Liner notes say that most of Discs 2 and 3 are previously unreleased... Not a complaint... just an FYI....

the only thing I was ever able to find was one of those Proper boxes???? thanks

I assume some of this stuff has been released before... Is any of this on rhapsody.com so I can get a listen before I decide??? thanks

you must have ordered it immediately... as I waited two days and it was already out of stock... I did get an email that they got more copies and shipped mine yesterday. Hopefully I'll get mine on Monday... I didn't like the cover... But how's the liner notes????

what's the scoop on this???? :unsure: http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/record.php?record_id=4781 One of the interesting claims.... is "All tracks previously unissued on any format." Is that true? Does anyone have this?

That's very helpful... My dilemma is simple.. I don't have either... and the Columbia sessions are a bit cheaper.... Hmmm.... :unsure: What do you think? Yes, there is a good amount of duplication. Disc 1: 1-10 is on the Mosaic box, as is Disc 2: 11-21 and Disc 3: 1-2 The sound on the Columbia box is also excellent. I haven't compared them closely, but have no complaints about the sound on either of them. The boxes represent very different concepts, however. The Columbia box gives a general overview of the Basie era on Columbia (1936, 1938-1950) through selected recordings. The Mosaic box presents all of the known Columbia recordings of Basie and Lester Young (plus a session without Basie). If you have the Columbia box and are salivating for more Basie & Pres, then get the Mosaic. If not, then don't.

I have to say... (other than the fact that I've been on a bit of spending spree.... :rolleyes: ) I finally caved and bought this from the jpc.de website.... http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/SESSIONID/266b45f5...581#produktinfo I will say this.. to get this set... without the eloborate packaging for less than 1/3rd the regular price is amazing! With overseas shipping it cost me about $65.... Can't wait to check this out... I would have to recommend it, if you didn't cough up the full price and want to get it before it goes OOP.. :excited:

Wow... I assume the Mosaic has better sound??? Yes, there is a good amount of duplication. Disc 1: 1-10 is on the Mosaic box, as is Disc 2: 11-21 and Disc 3: 1-2

Is there any duplication between the Mosaic Young-Basie and this set??? :unsure: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C9JD...;pf_rd_i=507846 thanks!

I'm going to pick up a copy next week.... (Still recovering from the Basie order:) Okay.. I changed my mind...

Madeline Peyroux @ the Berklee Performance Center last night... :tup She was quite good.. she's kinda sexy... The show was a little short... ( an hour and a half)... but I enjoyed it... Lee Konitz in two weeks!!! :excited:

I caved and bought the Basie Verve Fifties Studio Sessions... I have to sleep on it though... I might call Mosaic in the AM and switch it to the Lester Young.... :wacko: :unsure:

I wonder if it's been delayed??? Mrs. Pepper????

Ditto... Same here... thanks Ron!

Anybody found that new Art Pepper online yet????

Hmmmm... you've got me thinking... I've never sold a Mosaic... (until now... I'm about to donate the Chico Hamilton to my local library)... At the moment I'm giving the digital version of the Basie Live set another go-round... The thing that originally turned me off about it was the dozen or or versions of One O'Clock Jump... :angry: :angry: What makes you think I'll like the Lester-Basie set better than the Lester Verve box?? Or should I take a deep Basie plunge and get the Basie Verve Studio Sessions??? I'm really confused.... :blink:

My sole hestitation is that I have the Lester Young Verve box which I hardly play... and the Count Basie Live Roulette... which rarely gets played.... :unsure: :unsure: If you don't already have the Lester Young material, it is essential. Agreed.
