Why cover art is that important to you... you got me... :unsure: :unsure: When they use the original cover art, I do. When they shrink it to a microscopic size, or don't include it at all, I don't.

JiveAss label :beee: :beee: :beee: :beee: :beee: Tell you what... go buy Collectors choice or the non-licensed stuff from Spain.... I'll take the guys in Stamford, Ct. We are talking about our Dear and Beloved Mosaic here, right?..

Okay I listened to the samples... I was a little more intrigued that I thought I would be ... but I'm still staying away from this one... for a while... :mellow:

cool... thanks...

$34.00 including shipping to the US... Good price.. I took a chance.. and snagged it... Hope I don't regret it... :unsure:

I thinking about that George Shearing set... anybody got that one? Or thoughts about it? thanks

I'm just trying to get a heads up advance... <_<

Anybody know what records/sessions the new Goodman set will include??? And is any of this stuff likely to be previously unreleased???

Too late... I called them and spent it... :blush: OOPS...

I think you're right... The odd thing is ... I LOVE Dave Holland since the 1999-2000 incarnation of that excellent quintet... (e.g., Nelson, Potter, Eubanks & Kilson)... but I suspect I'm not going to dig the earlier stuff with Braxton... Methinks this will be one I'll pass on....

okay I got no Braxton.. never had much of an interest... I'm very skeptical about this set.... So... which artist is a good reference point...???

I did... Is it my imagination... or is there now no way to enter a gift card (info) on the web page?

okay I got my B-DAY gift card :excited: only to find out that I can't buy anything on Mosaic's website???? <_< When I click on any set (the $$) it moves to the shopping cart page which repeatedly ends up empty... Is anyone else having this problem??? Is this a sick joke? :blink: :blink:

okay I'm officially senile.... :blink: That thread was also started by tranemonk...

If yes... what would be in it??? I have very little of him in my collection and am digging that new Monterey records release featuring him... :excited: Should I hold of buying any of the other older stuff, in the hope that there might be a Mosaic set in the not-too-distant future???? :w thanks....

When I saw him with McCoy a few times.. he didn't play that much and was excessively amused at himself... (and McCoy gave him too much space for bad solos...) I think Al plays great on this set- his solo on Footprints (for one) is excellent IMHO, and he plays over the form of the tune, which I always appreciate on drum solos. Over the years I've enjoyed his playing in a variety on contexts. What about him don't you like? (just curious)

I'm looking forward to getting this set.. but I can't stand Al Foster... Way OVERRATED....

okay I'm back... And even though I've got a lot of Oscar... I had to get this one... and I love Toshiko...

I don't understand why the didn't do another downloadable podcast for this release... I thought it was a great addition to the website....

Uh oh.... I thought at 17 - they were just sneaking out of the house instead of waking u up? :wacko: Having had two (and trust me, it doesn't stop at 3 years old, my 17 year old thinks nothing of waking me up for no reason other than "Hey Dad!) ), you have my fullest and deepest sympathy.

I'd pay for some sleep... You obviously don't have a restless 3 year old... Buks speek. My freshman year in college, I had a buddy from SF, a really fine pianist, who was really into Zeitlin. So I was always borrowing his Zeitlin Columbia sides to see if I could get into it myself. The problem was, and I kid you not on this, was that I would always, and I do mean always, fall asleep halfway through a side. Didn't matter which album or which side, about halfway through the 2nd tune, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Finally, after about 6 months of this, I gave up, took my buddy at his word, and let it go at that. So gee, I'd like to get this and check it out again, but I dunno if it makes sense to pay for sleep, especially at this point of my life.

okay... I admit it.... I'm thoroughly... pro-Obama... so when it's all said and done... which Mosaic will most accurately reflect my mood??? :unsure: :unsure:

Wow... I guess I'm right... Everyone seems pretty lukewarm about this one... Why???? :huh: :huh:

Finishing up Dizzy Disc 7 .. Is it my imagination or has there been very little discussion of this set????? :unsure: In any case... I've thoroughly enjoyed this set... except for the 2nd half of Disc 6.... The vocalese album did not sit very well with me.....

One of my top 5 Mosaics!!! :excited:
