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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you go on there now... 5:25pm EST... all the Selects are gone... and most of the boxes... Obviously they must be updating the site or something... Kinda bizarre.... makes me even more glad I got the Bryd/Adams set...

Elvin Jones Disc 4.... I've got a new tack Ron... I'm gonna enjoy the Mosaics I have instead of agonizing over the ones I don't have... At least that's this moment's approach ....

Damn... couldn't you tell me it was awful... Something in the vein of Sun Ra meets Paul Desmond meets Kenny G.... ? Oh well.... guess can I find a reason I didn't need $50.... I like it a lot. FWIW, I got it from Mosaic about a month and a half ago, and my set is number 4323. I know they don't sell the Selects in exact sequential order (unlike the big boxes), but my understanding is that they get their Select stock in prenumbered batches that are generally sequential. If that's true, this one could go OOP pretty quickly. ←

Anita O'Day Disc 8.... nice.... How can you go wrong with Barney Kessel and Ben Webster as part of 'the band?" Hey Ron... How's the Brookmeyer... I actually bought it and then when I was feeling overextended ($$$$) with my Mosaic purchases, I sent it back...

THANK YOU .... that helps... ! Preferably I'd rather talk about the sexy album covers

I really don't get this post... and I'm REALLY not understanding the value/purpose of this thread....

Anita O'Day Disc 6... Still good but getting a little redundant with the Billy May Orchesta.... Let's see what happens with the last 3 discs...
