Thank YOU!!! Now I'm really torn!!! :excited: Do you know if the booklet was really good???

Jazz Piano Mood Sessions Disc 7.... Max Miller & Tatum

Bob Brookmeyer Select Disc 3.... Moved onto Dizzy Small Group Sessions Disc 5.... and finally... Jazztet Disc 4

I don't have those... this one is designed like a F***ing accordion :tdown .... My 4 year old thinks its cool.... :angry:

Since I'm in a vocalist mood.... :cool: Moved onto the greatest of all time... (and I don't mean Muhammad Ali...) Billie - The Complete Verve Master Takes... Disc 1 on digital... :wub: One of the worst designed boxes on the planet.... :crazy:

Anita O'Day Disc 4... this version of Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered... is off the charts.... :excl: :wub: :wub:

I've also heard this complaint about Dave Brubeck.... :mellow: (I don't agree though...) Would you say that about Art Tatum?

I'd grab them all... I didn't get the Moncur as I had several of the CD's that came out under Jackie Mclean's name... The Braxton's just not my cup of tea.. Which Hill are talking about? The Solo or Select #16.. I had the Solo but it didn't really work for me... Did you get the Akiyoshi??? That'd be my vote.. (and what about the Oscar Peterson?) :rolleyes:

Disc 2 of 4 ... Oscar Peterson - Exclusively for my Friends.... :excited: A highly recommended set for those of you do not have it.... :tup

from the way back collection.... :tup Bud Shank Box set... Disc 5....

My New Year's Resolution is to keep plugging this idea... Clearly as evidenced by the Anthony Braxton set... the Mosaic powers that be... do pay attention to the desires of their loyal customers.... I will STILL go on record that her recordings would do well on a Mosaic set... I'd LOVE the complete Verve recordings.. but would settle for a Select of the Roulette + Bet+Car recordings.... Who's with me?.... :excited:

What does "no-noised to death" mean? Seriously..... :unsure: I agree with Volkher in his old post above, those Quadromania boxes suck big time sonically, they have indeed been no-noised to death. Awful.

thanks... I'm kinda torn now given how down on these sets other board members seem.... :mellow:

Okay I went back and looked at this thread.... :wacko: so I get it... They don't pay royalties (due to differences in European licensing).... and there are no liner notes/discographical info. But on the positive side... They sound good, are ridiculously cheap and are a very good introduction to an artist you don't know anything about? I also saw something that despite their 4 CD nature... they are physically not much bigger than a single CD. Is that a good synopsis??? If so... I might have to grab a few of these..... :D

How is this??? What period does this cover? Does it duplicate what was on the Verve box? And is still available? I managed to listen a few tracks on rhapsody and it sounds great... What's the beef with the Quadromania label?

Disc 1 of The Greatest Jazz Concert in the World.. I can't believe both Concord and amazon are selling this set at a ridiculous price!!! $22 on concord's site and $13 on amazon's site... This is making want that Verve JATP set more.... :w :o

McCoy Select Disc 2.... ;)

SfJazz Collective 2008 5th Annual Concert Tour... disc 2... Eric Harland's composition "The Year 2008" is NICE! :cool: I have all the sets... but this year's seems to be outstanding! Not to mention that they went back to the 3cd set format.... :D

She could always order a 2nd set and send it this way..... Did you call or e-mail Mosaic? On their site those sets are not available for pre-order yet. So does my mother. She likes talking to them so much that she has not wanted to get any birthday or Christmas gift for me other than a Mosaic set, since their first year of operation. Even if I suggest something else, she rejects it, saying that she only wants to talk to those nice people at Mosaic.

I called... I like talking to their staff.... Did you call or e-mail Mosaic? On their site those sets are not available for pre-order yet.

Buddy Rich Disc 5... Time to give this another spin.... :unsure:

Pre-ordered the Handy last week and the Zietlin today..... :excited:

I was just reading a review from jazztimes about this set and that issue... and one of the comments was that the number of jam session selections was not as much (less than 50%) than people think.... and thanks SJ... this one is a tough one for me...

I'm feeling very nostalgic about Verve (and other) boxed sets which are going to disappear soon. :o Many of these boxes (particularly the previously unreleased live stuff) were printed in the late 90's when the economy was better and MP3 was not the standard way of getting rare music. Given that and recent discussions about the Mosaic Oscar Peterson set... I took some early Xmas $$ and purchased the Complete Quartets & Quintets (Oscar Peterson & Lionel Hampton) on Verve. I also caved in (on Concord's website - which has got some ridiculously good deals) for the Jazz at the Santa Monica Civic '72 3cd set and the Greatest Jazz Concert in the World 3cd set. Given the disaster of today's (and tomorrow's) economy and the preferred business model of offering music for download - I have a feeling that many of these sets are going to disappear... The one that I passed on originally was the Complete JATP 10 CD set. At the time it was WAY too pricey and then I just bought the single "best of CD." I was also concerned about the sound quality. Doing a quick search it's still available on tower.com at a nice price of $130.00 http://www.tower.com/complete-jazz-philhar.../wapi/105798343 Amazon is more at $180... So for those of you who got it... Are you glad??? I'm torn as I know once it's OOP it ain't coming back.... :unsure:

Wow.... I woulda though the McCoy or Hutcherson would win this in a runaway... <_<
