Jazzmoose,Jazzmoose. Then he sells them on ebay afterwards. The Mosaics or the bubblewrap?

Probably all of the above. There's some music there I wouldn't be able to get in any other way. I know there have been some who prefer the individual cds which I just used to poo poo but I also now see their point of view. Sometimes, it's just easier to get through an individual cd than a whole box.

I don't care what the format is as long as they put out stuff. As noted, the so called LPRs didn't last that long, at least not in mini lp format.

From listening to some of the McShann sessions that featured both Bird and Jackson, it's hard to tell them apat. They sound similar. I know Phil Schaap has waxed poetic about Jackson. It might be that Jackson never got the break or ventured outside of the territorial bands.

I've got this set and I like it in parts but it's not like it's a must set for me.

Did you try ebay? I'm sure there must be some on there.

They said they shipped mine Friday. Usually Mosaic shipping is really fast. Guess not these days, still ain't got it. What method do they ship now? I would think it would be there by Thursday or Friday. I got the notice on Friday but I don't think they shipped until Monday. Since I'm only one state way, 1 day is the norm. Yours probably also went out Monday.

If the Singles count, I'm enjoying Hard Bop, which I received today.

Just received my set of Singles. Listening to Hard Bop. Really enjoying Stella By Starlight.

I can't trace it now, but I've seen something on a BB about it, or maybe had an e-mail from Mosaic that I didn't keep (unlikely). Apparently, it's only going to include records Les made as a sole leader, so the ones he made with Groove Holmes, Jazz Crusaders, Teddy Edwards & Clifford Scott won't be included. MG Edit - It's not in the Mosaic upcoming projects list yet. First of all, I say this as a fan of McCann. I have most if not all of his PJ records. Considering that MC is on record as saying that he can't see a full-blown Three Sounds Mosaic set, why would he possibly be planning, or even considering, a Less McCann set? It would suffer from the exact same drawback: There's no variation in the albums, and too damn many of them (necessitating such a large number of discs that it becomes a very expensive set). In fact, the more logical approach would be to make a Select that brings together the sets that had guests on board. I would be very surprised if this comes to fruition, and if it does, I may just have to drive to Stamford myelf to point out to Michael that he no longer has an excuse for not doing a full blown Three Sounds Mosaic set. I'll be right behind you, holding your coat. Time for another email. It's been a long while.

A Love Supreme is not one of my favorites but I wouldn't begrudge its place in history.

Since I have none of Henderson's Milestone material, I'll probably get it. Other than that, I echo the other sentiments.

I like Congas myself but I'm buying a cd not just because it has them. If you like the Afro Cuban sound, more likely than not, you'll buy a cd with 'em. Odd choice for a poll, though.

I can't argue with this list too much. I probably would have included the Complete Savoy Dial of Parker since they do have some box sets in that 7. Also, is it the view that the JSP version of the Hot Fives and Sevens sounds better than Columbia's. I don't have the JSP version so I have no idea.

Actually, you wouldn't be disappointed Dan as it's a very nice disc and not all baronists have prominent roles.

I happen to love baritone, especially Pepper but I can't say I'm especially gifted at identifications. I've listened to this awesome cd once and loved it. What really grabbed my attention, however, was the last selection, where I'm pretty sure the bari player is Eddie de Verteuil, not too well known. I believe the song is Webb City. Great bop session.

I didn't think the Conns or RVGs were copy protected. I never had one that was. I also think the whole issue is a bit overblown. I've been of the school happy to have the music. I think many would find some of the earlier OJCs pretty bad but I've been glad just to be able to get them. I agree that we should get the sound available but we shouldn't go crazy either. However, I am intrigued by the song that seem to set off this debate, Caravan, so I plan on listening to it tonight.

Looks like Mr. Sangrey has his posts back (unless he's been very busy the last few days!).

Tooter, Got it last night and starting to listen to it this morning. Liking what I'm hearing so far.

Hard to figure why Steppin Out hasn't been reissued either as a Conn or RVG. Whatever form, it is way deserving.

I checked the id that he gave and although it was as a buyer, he had 100%. Did he sell you a bad cd under another name?

2 out of 3 from the Braves, 6 game lead, heading into May. What could be better?
