yeah I've always wondered why they kept the old prices... Guess that's another reason for those of you on the Mobley fence to get off... (That and the fact that it is likely to be one of the next to go OOP).... $17/CD! Some are $17/CD, but some are still at $16/CD (i.e. the Mobley set)

okay I caved... Had a little Xtra cash... and grabbed the Bennie Green Select... (Without even using my new Gift Card!!!!)

Dizzy Reece Select - Disc 1... Been awhile since I gave this a spin...

I'm still waiting for a box of unreleased Live... Michel Petrucciani (perhaps with and without Charles Lloyd)??? I would be all OVA that!!!

still a great value for the buck.... In particular... some of my fave Select sets that I don't think would have ever come out... Bob Brookmeyer, Bud Shank, Pacific Jazz Trios, and Carmell Jones... I just hope they put off another increase in the main sets for a while.... At least they're not as bad as the US Postal Service... another increase next week...

Damn.. I hate it when you divulge my trade secrets ... Since you've foiled my ebay scheme ... I've decided to let Mosaic have some of the remaining 9,998 sets... In fact... I'm in such a holiday mood... I even let them put it back up on their website with sound samples... http://mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MS-021 http://mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MS-022 Who said I wasn't in the holiday spirit??? Isn't that because you preordered the entire run of both sets?

well I just got through the entire set for the 1st time... I'm not a huge electric Miles fan, had none of this material and decided that the $38 CDU "mistake" price was too good to pass up... After giving it a spin... I would have to say IMHO.... mediocre... Could have gotten along with 2 or 3 CD's... I didn't like Jarrett's playing... Gary Bartz was the best part... but again I had low expectations... I wouldn't have bought it for full price... and at the $38 price.. it was okay... (no more, no less)... Okay it goes onto the shelf... For now... Maybe in a year or three when I give it another spin... I'll dig it more... -_-

I'm sure it's just a temp glitch... but for those of who you wanted to use your Xmas/Hanukkah/Kwannza/Winter Solistice gift cards for either the Mulligan or Bechet Selects... You might have to wait a bit as they are not on the website...

One thing this has got me wondering.. .is if this set was one of the earliest sessions for Kenny Barron? He didn't get his own recording date until 1973's Sunset at Dawn (according to AMG)... Any thoughts on that??? 'Cause if it is... that's even more reason to look forard to this set... Also... what sessions are likely to be left OUT (probably because they're still in print)??? I know the "Sittin' In" session I mentioned earlier???

I generally agree with you.. and if I didn't catch it at the CDU "mistake" price of $38 I probably wouldn't have gotten it... but it was REALLY hard yto pass up.... I do like Gary Bartz' playing on this though....

so let the year long speculation begin... !! What's going to be in this set?? Discography??? Interestingly the Verve LPR "Sittin' In" which was just released a few months ago will not be on this set... (I think... and that's a good thing since I don't like having duplicates...) That's a very good record for those who didn't get it... here's is some of what I figure might be on it... (all from AMG... so take it for what's it worth...) The Greatest Trumpet of Them All - The '57 Octet date with Gigi Gryce The Ebullient Mr. Gillespie - '59 date with Junior Mance, Les Spann and Chino Pozo An Electrifying Evening with the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet - the live '61 date with Leo Wright Jazz on the French Riviera Or is it Dizzy on the French Riviera? - Philips New Wave - Philips Something Old, Something New - Philips (Kenny Barron, James Moody) The Cool World - Philips Dizzy Gillespie Goes Hollywood - Philips (Kenny Barron, James Moody) Questions... Dizzy Gillespie Duets (1957)? The more I think about this... I'm very happy... It's stunning to believe that this will be 1st Dizzy Mosaic set!

LOL LOL

I like THAT idea... but who knows they might slip the Four Freshman II on my CC.... Dude, you should just open a "Standing Preorder" with them, for whatever may come down the pike.

OHHHHH!! I AM SO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just called them... they said .. not likely to be ready to be preordered until next Fall.... Hmm... Might have save that Mosaic Gift card I'm about to get!!!

listening to Disc 1... Liking it better than I thought I would....

Johnny Smith - Disc 4... For some reason I keep going back to this set... It seems to be growing on me.... Not as good as the Farlow... but...

Amen to that... If I hear "All I Want for Christmas" one more time....

so I'm over perusing... jazzmaztazz's upcoming release schedule... and I notice another batch of Verve LPR's coming out in January... (incl. Herb Ellis' 1st date... ) One of the ones coming out is "Good Pickin's" by Howard Roberts... http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...ic&frm=lk_jzmtz So I go over to AMG, since I never heard of the guy and based on their bio and his discography (lots of Capitol and Verve dates), I'm wondering if this is a part of an upcoming Select or full set? Verve/Mosaic has done this thing a few times where they release 1 cd/set from an upcoming set (e.g., Mulligan Concert Jazz Band and Buddy & Sweets)... And I don't want to buy this single CD only to find out that there's a 6 CD set due to come out in 2006... So What's the story with Howard Roberts???? Anybody got a sample track or two of his stuff they'd be willing to post?? Will there be a Select or full set?? thanks.... (And Hey Ron S.... Another guitarist....!!!)

just got mine today... I still won't believe this is real until I've played ALL 6 CD;s... Who the hell knows what could be in there... Could be the greatest hits of Britney Spears.... !!!

I'm leaning toward one that I've heard a LOT of mixed reviews about ... Joe Pass.... I held off for a long time for this one.... I just seem to getting into him a little more this time around... Who's got this set??? Reviews?? Hey Ron S... GEETAH man.... How do you like this one compared to the Farlow, Johnny Smith????

Ditto... Why do I feel like this is like the line ..."The check is in the mail..." ???

Really??? How much is the Eldridge going for??? And Hey Ron... S. did you get any of these other than the Farlow as the European version?

What I was trying to say earlier.. was that I don't KNOW if the CDU set is another European version... (aka Farlow....) I'm only guessing that it is... What's odd is why some of their sets end up in the market with European versions at the same time and why some don't... It's not ONLY the Verve titles... (No European Basie or Mulligan....)

does anyone know exactly WHY they made it 2 cds Vs. 3??? Any West Coast board members care to give them a call??? thanks!

thanks... hadn't seen that before... BUT it is a boxed set....
