after reading the dissing that the Bud Shank was getting in the least favorite Mosaic thread..... went back and am listening to Disc 5... I still like it.... maybe not as much.... but still :

that's what one of the (many) reasons I like it...I feel like I get a chance tto hear each instrument... To each his own... but did you like Elvin when he was with "Trane and McCoy?

it's funny... I printed out and read the entire thread noting that it was started in 2003 and stopped in Mar 2004. I'm curious as to if/how and why people's minds may have changed on sets they either didn't like and now do or vice versa... Time often affects our perspective (on listening and life... but I've got to give my two cents.... I have to say my least favorite Mosaics... Hmmm... 1. (With a bullet and climbing... As you ALL know by now..) Dinah Washington set... I really think they knew they should have left this in the can.... 2. Probably Columbia Swing Sessions... just didn't work for me.... 3. Sarah Vaughn.... WAY too uneven.... 4. I'm still reserving judgement on the Johnny Hodges set... (only gave it 1 spin.... and didn't do too much for me..) it's interesting to note that 1 year ago (or so....) there was quite the split view on the Bud Shank set... (I love it...) and one writer hated the Elvin set.... [To each his own.... but I can't see how you can diss' that set.... :wacko: There's quite a few sets which have come out since this thread ended... and no earlier posts mention any of the Selects... So is this thread worth updating????

for those of you who have both... which do you like better and why??? thanks....

hm.... I have the single CD.... might have to give this another spin......

2nd go-round on Tal Farlow Disc 3... Like it even more than I did the 1st time..... (which was a lot....! there's a lot of interplay and all of it swings... thanks again Ron S.... I might have to send you a Tom Brady NE #12 jersey as thanks!!!!!!!!!

I agree... Took longer than I thought to show up.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4740387087&rd=1 my guess is it goes for at least $200....

Golson-Farmer Disc 3.... gotta love "Tonk" i'm in Mosaic mood today...

Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm digging the 1st disc... since I can hold onto to for another 5 years about it will either go for $1000 or $9.99... I don't know if this will help you like it more, but it recently sold on Ebay (here) for $510. ←

I've been peeking over there to see how long it takes for the Bryd/Adams set to appear... When I called in my order, the Mosaic guy told me someone else had called in and bought SIX copies... Now... IMHO there's no WAY you buy SIX copies unless you plan on selling a few of them on E-bay.... ... but let me not get started....

Chico Hamilton Quintet - Disc 1... Haven't listened to this in a VERY LONG time.... Didn't like it originally... thought it was time to give it another spin....

Only one??? (A certain deal on the Tal Farlow box comes to mind ) ← Uh Oh... I think you're right... Hmm....

Disc 4 - Byrd/Adams... Okay it's EXCELLENT!! I owe you one Ron. S. I was so impressed I zipped over to overstock.com and grabbed the 2CD At the Half Note set... Very, very good... thanks again Eagle Eye Ron S....

I'm a slow learner..... Oh ye of little faith. ←

Enjoying Bryd/Adams Disc 2.... getting good!

Byrd/Adams Disc 1.... okay but nothing spectacular.... -_-

I stand with my original opinion... buy the individual CDs... that are in print... To me... I'm much more interested in Mosaics where most/all of the stuff has never come out in CD and/or is not likely to come out on individual CDs..... (e.g., the Sonny Sitt set, Horace Parlan....etc.) I vote - say your $$$ for another set... ←

You should call them.... most people who ordered theirs last week got them already.... and yes Big Deal... they are that quick....

Good job... As Ron S. will tell you.. I'm pluggin that Elvin Jones set... Yeah... you may not get much sleep...

So if I understand half the set is still out in print as individual CD's???? I just bought the Village Vanguard set and liked it... How come this one wasn't included??? Presenting Joe Williams & Thad Jones/Mel... Jones, Thad / Mel Lewis Orchestra / Williams, Joe http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...253331350&bab=E Too late?? What time period did the box set cover??? How do you like the single two other CD's that are out? (Other than the Vanguard set - : Consummation & Central Park North? Worth getting?) great price at cduniverse... less than $10 each... Hmm..... get half the Mosaic set (no booklet) for $30 or pay 10 times that for the full set on e-bay... Must be that fuzzy math again...

the main reason I'm not getting it is that I have at least 2 or 3 of the sessions which were released on individual CD's....can't remember which ones but I can't buy a box of which I have at least half on CD already...

Never hear much talk about this.... the only reason I'm thinking about it is from re-listening to the Elvin set... and reading Leibman's liner notes.... He apparently was very fond of his time with Elvin... Anyone have both sets... Can you compare his playing???? thanks

LOL...... It's too late Ron... they released it and BAM it went straight to Running Low and Last Chance... Guess that's what caused the web page to crash.... . . . now that they safely can list "The Complete Motown Jackson 5 Studio Sessions" in "Upcoming Releases." ←

okay it's back to normal... phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!
