Curtis Amy Select Disc 1.... Haven't given this a spin since it came out... Didn't like it much originally... Time to see if it helps my tax preparation....
I still can't shake this bad feeling of inevitability that this means... (Sacrilegious statement...) the beginning of the end of the box set.... It's nothing more than my sense of impending doom....
I'll buy the Singles... but I'm just can't shake that feeling....
okay I caved... Just preordered the Al Cohn, Ellington, Blakey and Charles Lloyd...
I hope your right Ron.... My pessimisstic side is emerging... I hope their business plan reflects your line of thinking...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what to make of this.... Is the subtext here.. they are getting away from our treasured 8 CD boxed sets???? I'm afraid... Although these titles sound fab... I'm nervous about the next shoe dropping...
getting the morning off to a swinging (hopefully productive) start with Stanley Turrentine Disc 4 and 5..
DAMN this is a GOOD SET! (Forgot how good!!! )
Got a positive reply from Mosaic about the Betty Carter possibility... to summarize...
"The Verve stuff and the material from her own label... might be a possibility...."
I really HOPE they do this... She deserves it!
How about some lobbying????
Just sent the following email off to Mosaic....
whaddya thinK?
hey there..
How about the Complete Verve/Roulette/Capitol Recordings of Betty Carter. I know some of these titles are still in print and were released in the late 80s/early 90s but this is a compelling set for a few reasons....
1. She did not have a tremendous number of sessions (and this 6-8 CD set) would represent a major portion of her career.
2. She was (at the time) and still is a tremendously underrated rated musician.
3. Once these final existing Cd's disappear from record shelves no one is going to reissue them.
4. With the popularity of the jazz vocalist today (good and bad)... she represented the one of the last great "throwbacks" if you will.
5. It will do well with the hardcore (me) Mosaic fan base....
So please let me know if thats a good possibility.....
And any chance.... we'll get some a Select set of unreleased live Michel Petrucciani???
thanks
have we finally determined... on that upcoming dizzy set...
What is currently in print???
I know that "An Electrifying Evening with Dizzy Gillespie" is still in print??? Others??
Horace Parlan Disc 3... Wadin'... a great way to start this set....
and there's a bottle of red wine airing and waiting for me... So at the end of disc 3... comes dinner... wine... and disc 4....
I NEEDED this after 2 days with my infant daughter who's sneezed, coughed and wiped her runny nose on every article of clothing I own.... Those of you with kids - KNOW what I'm talking about!!!!
