"Thank you for ordering from Mosaic Records. Please note that Media Mail shipping does take extra time. Your Credit card will not be billed until your order is ready to ship." I ordered on April 30th and my card was charged on 5/3, but no shipping notice/confirmation as of yet. I don't mind being patient, but I did spring for the UPS delivery. Ten days or more is a lot of time to process and ship an order. Oh well.

Agreed. I had a shipment from one New York address to another wend its way through Tennessee, Mississippi, and Massachusetts before finally making here 11 days later. 97 miles separated shipping location from my house. I literally could have walked there and back sooner. I consider it two dollars well spent. Yes. I was pleasantly surprised today and ordered immediately as well.

Hi- I'd be interested in: Harris Eisenstadt Canada Day III Songlines $5 Harris Eisenstadt Canada Day IV Songlines autographed $5 Thanks. Please PM me with payment info.

Strong lineup. I just grabbed this one last night from PlayMPE. Gonna check it out later.

I think that there is something to be said for "The Mosaic Treatment." I have all of the individual CDs but I'll still be inclined to get the Mosaic set. What can i say?

From today’s Mosaic newsletter: Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan: A Duo Made in Blue Note Heaven The team of Lee Morgan and Hank Mobley was made in Blue Note heaven. Kindred spirits with contrasting personalities, they made an amazing amount of gorgeous, soulful music together in the ‘50s and ‘60s. David Brent Johnson has seen fit to celebrate their partnerships on his Night Lights program. Interestingly, a number of his musical choices were tracks left unissued until after their deaths, which Mosaic Records is revisiting with our set The Complete Hank Mobley Blue Note Sessions 1963-1970. Everything and anything they did together is of value and merit. And a ‘60s Morgan Mosaic set should follow next year! -Michael Cuscuna

Bump. Price reduced. $180.

I've only played three of these shows (Winterland/The GD Movie/Dead Ahead). The others are untouched and mint. The box is in excellent shape. Booklet is crisp...briefly looked at never read. I'll listen to the Dead all day...the videos tend to leave me flat. $200 includes shipping/insurance/delivery confirmation to CONUS. Paypal preferred please. Thanks

I had my iPod classic for Jazz expanded to 768 GB. I've filled it with all of my usual suspects as well as assorted other things that I was once enamored with or curious about. Shuffling by song, album, and artist has helped me to curate a collection (playlist) of tunes that I enjoy coming back to. I import as ALAC files, so I'm happy with the fidelity, the portability, and the options for listening. 18,000 tunes spanning 470 GB. Then again I have many times that over in CDs to also visit and revisit. A good problem to have. So 80/20 seems reasonable but I'm working on changing that up. As FZ said, "Without deviation from the norm progress is not possible."

My Black and Blue CDs arrived yesterday along with the Fresh Sound titles I had ordered.

I like the Apple Iphone 7 and 8. i had the Plus version of both models. They are the last two generations to have the home button. I'm not ready to live without it. I went for the 256 GB of memory which allows me to carry around one of my iTunes libraries so that I always have music for my car or with me- since I always have my phone. This is my fourth iPhone and we have many in the family. We've never had an issue with reliability. Quite the opposite actually. Never had a problem. And your iPhone is six years old. I've heard that future models may bring back the home button while in other places I've seen that the home button is gone for good. I expect to get another 4-5 years out of this phone.

$89.99 after the 10% off and including the $21 to have it shipped stateside. The box doesn't seem to show up on any of the expected retail websites.

PM sent in Tougher than Tough box.

PM went on Change of Time. I really like Adam Kolker. I’m not previously aware of this record, but John Hebert’s stuff tends to be mighty tasty too. 👍

I'm not sure what kind of interest there may be for these but I'll float these out there anyway- These are authentic BS/BN cds, not the "on-demand" cds that Amazon is doing. All discs/inserts are in mint/near mint condition. Prices include shipping to CONUS addresses. Paypal only please. Thanks. $15 -David Murray Octet- Hope Scope -Muhal Richard Abrams- Rejoicing with the Light -Muhal Richard Abrams- Colors in Thirty Third $12 -David Murray- Ming -Lee Konitz Quartet- The New York Album -Lee Konitz Quartet- Live at Laren -Roscoe Mitchell and the Sound and Space Ensembles -Mingus Dynasty- Reincarnation $10 David Murray Octet- Ming Roscoe Mitchell and the Sound Ensemble- Live at the Knitting Factory Muhal Richard Abrams- Song For All

I've been considering it. They were $50 last year so they've recently gone up. Since I'm not much of a download person, preferring physical product, I didn't see the benefit for me. I signed up for their mailing list finally too. I've shopped there before but somehow didn't get on the list. Now I'll be informed and it will cost me even more money. Good thing I'm single.

I would expect, and hope, that the new Music App will end up being iTunes for the next generation. Or maybe Apple will allow those who use and rely on iTunes the opportunity to continue with it on that platform. I have no videos, photos, podcasts, etc. on my iPods so a stand alone music app/program would be fine for me. It seems to me like reports of iTunes demise though are somewhat overstated. Apple has sold a lot of people and awful lot of music through the years. I can't imagine that they would take away ability for people to access and play that music. I know that those of us who use iPods are lower on their list of priorities, but I also have a lot of music on my 256 GB iPhone. I suppose you could call it the end of an era, but a new era surely awaits.

I sprung for most everything except the Keberle...I listened to the samples and the vocals weren't really something that drew me to his music. But to each his own.

Thanks for the heads up. I ended up springing for ten titles. Only gripe, and a minor one at that, was the $22 shipping charge. Oh well.

I emailed the blackmonk address and got a swift reply. The discs are $15 each with shipping of $6.50 for the first and $2 for each additional to the US. The charge was actually for Euros not US dollars...

After poking around a bit, these appear to have been Record Store Day 2019 titles. The LPs are still readily available but the CDs not so much. I'm afraid that they might be tough to come across...which is a bummer because I really enjoy Koglmann. Particularly the Hat stuff that he's done.

PM Sent on Cleveland and Montrose.

I ordered all of the Japanese reissues. Last night I did a blind listening test with the BGO titles using Shades of Blue and Dusk Fire. Three tunes off of each album. For all six I chose the BGO remaster over the newer issues. The BGOs seemed a little brighter, but I also thought that there was more presence and detail to them as well. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch (an NAD amp and Yamaha CD player coming through new Polk Signature S60 speakers) although I do like for my music to sound good. Has anyone else done a comparison and had a similar experience/outcome? I'm curious.
