If anyone's in the market for a new Mosaic, there are dozens listed on ebay right now and nearly all have low starting bids. Some rare ones, too: Lang/Venuti, Phillips/Ventura, the 3 single LP sets, James/Krupa, Jazz Piano Moods, etc. I'm hoping that this will flood the market a bit and I can pick one up for a deal. link: http://music.shop.ebay.com/Music-/11233/i.html?LH_Auction=1&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A4845&rt=nc&_nkw=mosaic&_catref=1&_dmpt=Music_CDs&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=3

I have yet to receive mine. Ordered Jan. 24th. Hopefully in the next couple days?

Cool, thanks.

3-disc set. Discs are in perfect condition and the outer box is in good condition. It does not include the booklet, but all the discographical info in contained in the CD liners. Price is $25 shipped to anywhere in the US. I'll ship international for cost.

Quartet (Mestre) 2008 is now available: http://www.jazzloft.com/p-53588-quartet-mestre-2008.aspx

I took advantage, as I'd been eyeing these cutouts around the 'net for some time. Definitely the best price you can get! Shipping was $4.79 for the 10 discs. I already had the Ortega, To Ornette, the Grossman and the Mehta/Lovens duos, all of which I'd recommend. I picked up: Barcelona Series - Sven-Ake Johansson (Hatology) L'Heure Bleue - Franz Koglmann (Hatology) Four And Five - Jon Lloyd (Hatology) Out Right Now - Joe Maneri (Hatology) Even The Sounds Shine - Myra Melford (Hatology) Filigree - Lauren Newton (Hatology) The Roots of the Moment - Pauline Oliveros (Hatology) By The Law of Music - Matthew Shipp (Hatology) Proklamation / Farewell to Sweden - Per Henrik Wallin (Hatology) Phonolith - Bernd Konrad (Hatology) I take an interest in anything the label puts out, so I'm excited to hear these.

Remove the period from the end of the link.

I'm currently on day 15 waiting for the Oscar Peterson Mosaic.

Good to hear. Enjoy!

PM on We See.

Got the discs yesterday, thanks!

Got that one coming in the mail to me right now. I very much look forward to hearing it.

Maybe just the quintet records on a Select? The two Jazzland titles, Southern Horizons and Free Form followed by the 3 Columbias. Sounds more reasonable, but does Mosaic have access to Jazzland, which is owned by Concord? Just the three Columbia quintet albums would make for a very brief set-- probably too brief by Mosaic's standards, but I'd shell out for it anyways.

This reminds me I need to grab a copy of the LP reissue of Amalgam's Prayer For Peace, which is also limited to 500 copies. Different label, of course.

Thanks for the heads up.

On the flipside, the Don Pullen, Dexter Gordon and Pacific Jazz Piano Trios are trending lower. I have the PJ one, but do still need the Gordon and Pullen. Those two have been sitting around $60, which I feel is more or less fair.

Freddie Slack and Art Pepper Selects topping off at $152 and $128, respectively. I can tell these two are going to be the ones that elude me 'til the end.

I also sent an inquiry re: Soulnik

Easily a top 5 Blue Note album for me. Hell, Black Fire might even be on that shortlist, too.

Found this whilst browsing on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Intents-Purposes-Limited-Dixon-Orchestra/dp/B004IOP4VE/ref=sr_1_20?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1296450076&sr=1-20 Info is scarce. The label is listed as International Phonograph Inc. Here is their site: http://internationalphonographinc.com/ Looks like this could be a very high quality reissue. Maybe Clifford Allen knows more? I'm really looking forward to finally hearing this one.

Good lineup! Also, prices on new single disc titles dropped from $18.95 to $16.95 at JazzLoft!

Sam Rivers Blue Note Mosaic from Reckless Records (http://www.reckless.com) for $69.99 If you're interested, I suggest calling them as soon as you place your order so they hold it for you.

Modestly priced on Amazon and coupled with a fine Louis Hayes/Yusef Lateef date: http://www.amazon.com/Blues-Bag-Buddy-Defranco/dp/B000024YGC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1296144012&sr=8-3

Cool, thanks. Those prices are the best I've seen.
