I COMPELTELY AGREE ABOUT THE O'DAY!!!!!!!!! DO IT! I bought kinda on a whim... and I LOVE it.... IMHO This is the best vocalist box they've put out by far.... And you KNOW this stuff ain't gonna get reissued.... I'm extremely happy with the O'Day..... So I'd grab it.... The JJ I have and only gave 1 spin and wasn't thrilled with it... I hope someday I'll get a better take on it.... You know the website...

I think it was planned for an August release... given that there's no notice on the website... methinks probably late August.... but you can preorder by just giving them a call.... that's what I did...

that's extremely well put Adam... I competely agree.. I too have made "chance" box set purchases on Mosaic (sometimes with no previous knowledge about the artist) and I've often felt that it's a crapshoot.... 50/50.... Sometimes it's born great results... (Bud Shank), sometimes disaster (Dinah Washington)... The great/difficult thing about the Tolliver (and many other lesser-known Mosaic releases) is that much if not all of thier stuff is either not in print or extremely hard to get... (Therefore it's difficult to get the know the artist before you plunk down the $$$...) So I'm completely with you on the Select for Tolliver.... Well said.... I think it is wise they do it this way. I mean, how many people are there in the world who are willing to plunk down on 7 or 8 CDs of Charles Tolliver at once? I personally have none of this music, and look forward to getting this affordable option. But if my option were to get The Complete Charles Tolliver on Strata East, and I didn't know his music at all prior to that? ←

huh? Explain please???

hmmmmm... okay count me in.... Now the next magic question is, if jazzmaztazz is right and this puppy is out in October... when can we pre-order???

I think a WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! may be in order !!! But since I don't own the japanese CD's.... Please tell me more about Tolliver, the Music Inc. band (who was in it), and the the live material....???

thanks couw.... Just looking on CDuniverse - they've got Born to be Blue for less than $10..... guess I'll just have to save that $ I was gonna spend on e-bay on the stuff that's really not in print.... (read - upcoming PJ Trios and Tolliver Selects... Because the 1961 session is split over the two discs on the Complete Quartets release, you only miss one disk, Born to be Blue, which features the tracks with Ike Quebec. The two tunes with Patato are limited to the Mosaic set only. ← That is amazing then! $10 for the 2 CD The Complete .... + $18 for 'Born to be Blue'. I can't believe that some people are prepared to spend $350 for the Mosaic set on ebay then! (There is one on ebay on $317 with three days to go!) What is wrong with these people? There must be some Mosaic fetichists out there! Maybe some of the black boxes are made of leather! ←

I missed out on the set... So help me out here - .when I bought the 2CD Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark... what am I missing from the Mosaic box is 2 cds' covering what???? (and have those been issued as single cd's?)

I've been looking at the Charles Tolliver stuff over at amg.... nothing on Blue Note, Pacific Jazz or World Pacific... What the heck is going to be on that set? I see that he's released a lot of live stuff on his own label (Strata-East)... Do they work out an agreement with him to release that stuff??? But please tell they're NOT going to slice and dice and pull the stuff from the Jackie McLean box and use that??? details - details - details.....

given the other discussion about the possible Charles Tolliver Select... I went back and am giving the Jackie McLean box - Disc 1 another spin... Gawd... I love this set!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm... now I'm definitely intrigued..... Anyone know when we'll be able to pre-order???? Hey and when is our "official email" from Mosaic (announcing some new stuff - presumably the Crusaders box... and MAYBE those two Selects>) due? Aren't we due to get one soon?

okay... I see where we might got some of his info from... jazzmatazz has got a Tolliver Select coming out in October... http://jazzmatazz.home.att.net/upcomingjazzreleases.html stilll I'ld love more info.....

clearly you know something we don't know... You got some 'splaining to do....

Mobley Disc 4.... Nice work by Donald Bryd....

I'm curious what you initially and now think of this... This set was one I was considering when it hits "Last Chance..." so what's your take?

I may have a long lost twin out there... (who spends a heckuva lot less $$ on jazz than I do...) Just something about Mobley... has never grabbed me by the labels and made me go WOW!! I can't explain it better than that... I mean he's fine.. and we'll see how I like the rest of the set... just something about his playing that doesn't make me .... now his compadre... Lee Morgan... That's a WHOLE other story... You sure you're not really from Missouri? ←

thanks and I'm on IT!.... An interesting note on the reissue... on Live at the Half Note... for anyone who got it... Does track 9... "Oh you crazy moon" sound awful? IIt sounds very low.. like they were 5 feet behind the mikes... Is it just my copy/system or did someone else notice this?

Mobley Disc 1.... so far so good...

I'm digging the reissue of Live at the Half Note and am rediscovering Wes... Looking over at AMG.. they have his 1st 4 albums as on Pacific Jazz... 1957 Fingerpickin' - Pacific Jazz 1958 Montgomery Brothers - Pacific 1958 Kismet - Pacific Jazz 1958 Far Wes - Pacific Jazz From what I can do two of those have been issued as CDs and two haven't... Anyc chance we can lobby for all 4 to be released as a Mosaic Select??? (With some unreleased stuff???) Whaddya think?

isn't Alan (the jazzmaztazz guy) on this board??? Someone should just ask him or email Cuscuna.... I only know what the link said... (and that I'm NOT paying $285 for the set... How about maybe $25??? A 2-CD set is slated to be released in the Connoisseur series this October. Does anyone know whether this set will contain any previously unissued tracks? ←

I think I saw on jazzmaztazz that it's been remastered and reissued later this year.... If that's correct... then this person is an even bigger fool.... see October... http://jazzmatazz.home.att.net/upcomingjazzreleases.html

Sitt... Disc 8... Damn... that Bobo Stenson musta went straight to Last Chance.... Whew! Shit now I have to pay $5000 on e-Bay.... I knew I shoulda got that

Gerald Wilson Disc 4.... :tup this is a really good set.... thanks to the board for cajoling... (I mean - providing me with encouragement to buy thus set.... !! Okay it's my time to plug it.... I think this set is low on people's radar screens.... Check it out....

anybody got the CD discography of the Nat King Cole Set???? thanks

thanks... Nice to know that I haven't lost my mind... (not on this topic anyway..) It's funny... since I don't recall having that reaction to any other altoist... (and it's not even all his alto playing... just select tunes...)
