This is roughly what you said about Ronnie Matthews. In addition, of course, there's always this http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=29806 MG

This has been a bit of a revelation to me - I don't mean the music; of COURSE that's a revelation since I'd only got and heard Roy on a 1973 Buddy Tate album before - but I always assumed that a limited edition of 10,000 meant there were 10,000 copies out there, once a set was finished. MG

So the Roy Rogers connection is true? MG

Me too. Dunno anyfing abaht vis. MG

Funny how tastes differ I really hated OP's organ playing, sounded to me like an evening at the ice-rink... I wonder what you think of the stuff-with-strings. I liked Eldridge's playing for the most part, but I returned the set to Mosaic because of the organ playing, the strings and the - to my ears - horrible dixieland date; plus, a few discs didn't play on my CD transport. Only up to disc 3 (Roy & Diz). The second session has strings and I liked that a lot. No, I thought it was RAVISHING! Of course, OP's organ is ice rink-ish. No harm in that when it swings as powerfully as it does in "Dale's wail". Who the hell was Dale, by the way? Roy Rogers' girl friend? MG

No one's mentioned Victor Borge. MG

It's stopped here. Sunny, breezy, cool but you can go out without a cardigan. MG

Anyway, I've listened to discs 1 and 2 so far. Profound love. So, who's this organ player then? Jeez, it's OP - he should have stuck to organ. "Dale's wail" is serious GREEEAAAZZZE! And "Echoes of Harlem"! Oh, another great funky Ellington blues. I have another recording of it, but I can't remember by whom at present, though the band goes "na na na-na, na-na, na" and I thought it was Cab, but can't see the title. But Roy's version is the dirtiest! Again and again, this music has stirred me. And five more to go! MG

Yes - I know what it SEZ! But it can't mean that, if they simply stop manufacturing when the license runs out. I just got mine and it's 1919. I see FFA's was 1915. Out of 10,000. So, they've sold 1,900 in five years and they're going to run out in less than four months? Pull the other one, MC. If the real answer is, "the license is gonna run out in four months", or whatever, why not say so? We won't mind. MG

Roy Eldridge Mosaic. Ahhh! MG

And one that doesn't appear to qualify, but does Recorded 1990, released 2007 Although it sez "Live in New York", it ain't live. MG

Two Sonny Stitts on Delmark recorded 1968, released 1997 recorded 1969, released 2005 and a Wynton Kelly Recorded 1968, released 1993 MG

Also, but there's no image on the web, Gene Ammons - Blue groove - Prestige, recorded 1962, released 1982. MG

Recorded 1962, released 2004 MG

Funnily enough, I was playing this this morning Recorded 1960, released 1995. MG

This is REALLY WICKED! MG

It is the home of Tatum. I thought he was dead... MG

Very interesting, with a particular thank you to Mark. MG

I've never known a Mosaic set to run out of its actual numerical set run--perhaps others have. The lease generally runs out long before the number of sets does, and Mosaic just quits manufacturing them. What's the *highest* set number anybody out there has? For me, it's 5603--Chet Baker Studio Recordings with Russ Freeman, and that was out of a 7,500 set limit. (The Monk Blue Note set--Mosaic's first--at 5428, is second!) My lowest is 56--Gene Krupa/Harry James Capitols. Scott Wenzel once told me that was one of their lowest selling sets. Greg Mo So what does "running low" actually mean? MG
