One does not trump the other. When it comes to many of these artists, the only issue is the quality of the release. For example, i own much of the Charlie Parker Dial on the 8 CD Dial and Savoy Box. I am on the fence regarding the new Mosaic Dial Box. I already have all of the Parker Dial, but not some of the others on this set. But what has convinced me to get the box is that many have said this is a sonic upgrade. How many times have I jumped on a remaster (we know I liked the music) only to find out that it was compressed, loud, etc. One does not trump the other. They are not mutually exclusive. In any event I am new to this forum, and have really enjoyed the conversations.

I am new to this forum, and have been a long time member of SH forum. There are two primary aspects to that forum, and presumably this forum as well. One is discovering music from artists I was not familiar with. Ornette is an example. The second aspect is the difference in mastering and sound quality of the artist's CDs (I gave up vinyl years ago). His box set is again an example of this aspect. I was assured by many people that the "Music is a beautiful thng" box sounded really nice (and it does). I don't subscribe to the idea that I have to see wave forms and DB values to appreciate good (or bad) sound. Sound quality is so important when listening to some of these great artists. I guess what I am saying is that "Can anybody discuss the actual music?" requires discussion of sound quality. They are not separate entities.

Still available. Email me at hbbfam@cox.net if interested.

If its the shape of jazz to come, you are required to like it. Rules are rules.

I have the two Pablo boxes. How much overlap is there with the Storyville Box?

Garcia Live Volume One (3/1/1980 Capitol Theatre) This is a sealed copy. $17 shipped U.S. Send me a PM if intererested.

Complete Bill Evans on Verve for about $55 shipped. Thanks!

I started this thread after listening again to the 4 CD Stockholm. It is not only great music, but the sound quality is very good. I certainly recommend this one. So now I want more. And ask the same question...what others of these CDs are recommended?

i do realize that. I was wondering more on the sound quality. The Stockholm set sounds very good to me.

Here's the link for the "Last Tour" http://amzn.com/B00N42F4EI Anyone actually have this one?

I am really enjoying the music and sound of Miles Davis In Stockholm (1960). I realize there is a set from Paris that same year: All of You: The Last Tour, 1960 How does the sound of this one compare to the Stockholm set?

Still available.

Any comments on the Oscar Peterson Box?

Sealed copy of the latest Dave's Pick #13 I recently ordered a second copy for "insurance". It is sealed (9258/16500). $42 gets me even for the cost, the shipping, the paypal fee. $42 shipped U.S. Post interest here first and then PM me. And I realize I am new to this forum. You can look at my feedback on the Steve Hoffman forum as well as EBay (220/100%).

For purposes of this thread, we are talking about the Mosaic 10 CD set?

Hi Ken, I assume this is the 10 CD set? What would you friend want for this box shipped to Chandler, AZ? There is currently a brand new copy on discog for $55. Howard

And Import CD has the Mingus Box: http://www.importcds.com/music/2750692/charles-mingus-leader-on-debut What is the sound quality like on this one?

I just went on the amazon.it site and these two boxes (Jarrett and Mingus) are way more than you paid. Did you just get lucky or am I looking in the wrong place?

I recently listened to a friend's copy of the Mosaic Charles Mingus Candid Rcordings. It is really good with very good sound, IMO. It is out of print and quite spendy. Most of these tracks are on the following albums: Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus, Mingus, Reincarnation of a Lovebird, Mysterious Blues and Newport Rebels. Has anyone compared these CDs to the Mosaic Box? Recommendations?

You'd be far more likely to get responses there than under this thread! gregmo Thank you.

I sent them an email, no reply. But today my new disc and paperwork arrived from Savoy. This is amazing customer service. I thank Funkateer and this forum.

I didn't know this box existed until reading this thread. i found a used copy of this on bullmoose. What great music and very good sound. I need to find a reasonably priced Complete Jazz At The Philharmonic1944-53 now.
