Well.... JS.... I'll suffice my opinion to say that I appreciate you posting of such a thorough review but one I nonetheless disagree with... (you might expect such.... see the Avatar.... ) ... I disagree on two notes in particular.... 1) I absolutely disagree that there is no "there there." I find many (not all) of Wynton's recordings contain a deep level of soul... (my word - ) ....and I do find emotional connection to this CD in particular....Green Chimneys comes to mind... 2) I also disagree on your point that "If the Marsalis Mafia has hopes that this will be the album that makes everybody slap their foreheads in astonishment and say "WHOA! I've been WRONG about Wynton all these years! This is the SHIT!", well, sorry, it ain't gonna happen." I have some very good jazz friend (an older African-American saxophonist comes to mind)... who has a strong critique of Wynton..... and I do believe he will really like this record.... And respectfully... I'm curious JS... Have you ever seen Wynton perform live??? And has this/would this/might this change your opinion??? I have seen him dozens of times (in a variety of contexts) and the one thing I find WM does NOT lack is soul... and emotionality in his music... But needless to say... we respectfully disagree....

not quite the 1st literally.... (#30 of the set)... but the 1st on the board???? At least I know what I'll be listening to on my way to work this afternoon!!! Depends--what's the set number? ←

Jazz Crusaders box arrived... AM I the 1st????? WOO-HOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the 1st one too... and it is fab.... I also preordered this one... KB really is outstanding...!!!! Look forward to cranking it up in my car....

I'm with you on the Parlan and the Hodges... Love Horace... Johnny's not working for me... i'll hold onto it... but it's not doing it now...

The Brookmeyer Select is a must-have (IMHO)... I was on the fence for A LONG time on this one... and am very glad I picked it up... Doesn't get a lot of talk on this site... but I suspect folks who got it... like it.... I'm with you on that one Lon. I'm looking for it to be here on Christmas morning. I haven't heard a lot about this set, but with Buck Clayton, Ruby Braff, Pee Wee, Ben Webster, how can you go wrong..... Reece, Brookmeyer, or Shank Select (fall or winter 06) Andrew Hill select in early spring 06. --of course, this could all change if the Parlan or Roach go on the 'last call' list ←

And WHY NOT???? Waiting for the version on caiman????

http://www.cduniverse.com/promo/feature.as...&cart=269934012 I'm afraid to look.... (and NO i don't work for them....) my CC bill will tell you that.... okay....I looked... it's not so bad... not many titles....

anybody check this out....???? its really cool... it's #10 and the bottom on the song list... http://bluenote.com/detail.asp?SelectionID=10459

I see through alan's website that Blue Note has a new series... entitled such... I assume this is simply a compilation CD....? right???? http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...&cart=269622826

Now why on earth would I want to buy this???? http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...ic&frm=lk_jzmtz I don't care how cheap it is....

I don't even know what to say....

nice review...I agree with most of it... But I REALLY liked "Amazing Grace..." (In general I LOVE that tune...) I missed my chance to see this at the Village Vanguard last fall... but the record is great.... Good, but short liner notes also...

Bummer.... for those of you who were on the fence... I'd call Mosaic and see if there was 1 flloating around somewhere... Got mine a few months back and it is great!

I kinda feel like we (the fans/regular buyers) should encourage/help Mosaic do something unique for their 25th anniversary.... (only 3 years away).... Ideas???? 1. A Mosaic "Membership" club? ($xx per year and you get ???. We, of course, should be grandfathered in... say anyone who's bought at least 5 sets... [selects not included.]) 2. An all-star benefit concert/mini-tour (with 2 free tickets for the Mosaic old-timers [anyone who's bought 10-12 sets or more)??? Part of the proceeds go to the Jazz Foundation of America.... [Does anybody, other than me, remember when Verve did their little version of JATP about 10 years ago....??? It was REALLY cool!! Got to see Charlie Haden, Joe Henderson, James Carter, etc...) 3. First dibs on any sets "running low"/"last chance?" (Perhaps a select email list of Mosaic Old-timers and THOSE people get the 1st announcement with the website and general public finding out later...) 4. Any other ideas?????? I definitely think (and did email Mosaic) saying that they should begin offering their "hard-core base" something additional....

You may be able to find someone saying that on the Zapruder film....

since we're on the 22nd year of the company... and I'm sure they've done better than they could even dream... Where will this lead??? What will it/they be in 2025???? Which box sets will we be seeing??? I for one... suspect similar to the Leibman/Barach, Tolliver sets... they will start focusing more and more on unreleased live stuff.... (How about a live unreleased Stanley Turrentine set??? What do you think??? And I'm sure this thread will eventually get hijacked toward the inevitable "Best of.... Gomer Pyle/The REALLY Complete Bitches Brew thread again.... but in the inital phase of this thread, I am curious what you SERIOUSLY think will happen to the company????

Jackie McLean... and I would never get rid of Mosaics...

Wow... if we can pull this off.. this may be a minor miracle.... Hmm..... Mine, too. They're showing the "regular price" now as $97.89. I think we got ourselves a DEAL! ←

I'm not entirely sure I get this rant... but... there's been a long discussion about the newer/cheaper (perhaps better for your purposes) longbox packaging... try here... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=21167 and here.. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9596 I have several Miles boxes and both the spine version and the longbox... I just recently donated my single Miles/Trane CDs and got the longbox because of very, very good prices.... If it's bugging you that much, return it and buy the longbox version... I got mine over here... less than $9 a CD.... http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?pa...&prod_id=712335 hope that helps...

thanks!!!!

would someone be so kind to post the Count Basie Studio Roulette Recordings Discography??? (the CD Version) I have much of the session info but it's incomplete and I have no song titles... thanks.

Hey.. it was either give it to Mosaic or Uncle Sam.... (Just Kidding.... if anyone on the board works for the IRS..... ) You're pathetic. ←

Hank Mobley.. was on the fence... but decided to bite the bullet before he went the way of Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams... Resurrected in e-bay land...

Luigi.. why... I have no idea... just kinda came to my mind....
