Rooster_Ties Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 PS: I am very very surprised that the set arrived today! I was too. Never thought I'd see it before early next week. Lots of work to do around the house tomorrow, getting ready for a pot-luck dinner we're hosting in two weeks. The first floor of our house is half a disaster, so we've got to knock things into shape, hopefully mostly this weekend (my wife has Monday off for Presidents' Day). I'm sure I'll be spinning the Hill Select a bunch of times between now and then -- (or as much as my wife can stand ), which probably means discs #1 & #2 only, since #3 is quite a bit more "out" than the other two.

dova Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Good News: My wife just called me at work and said DHL just dropped of a package. hmmmm...... wonder what it is? She was sure curious. I think I'm going to go home for lunch. Hope I make it back to work. dova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Well, I was bummed about coming to work -- we do about 90% of work for government agencies, so there is really not much I can accomplish today. However, I had a suspicion that the Mosaic order would show up today, and I was right!!! Goodness - I have set 1420. I thought I had my pre-order in fairly quickly. I know the numbers are a bit scrambled but still ... I'd like to find out if this is the fastest selling Select (I'm guessing Moncur also did well, though many long-time collectors would have had the material, unlike me). I'll post some thoughts on the music in the other thread. I'm doubly psyched, since I ordered the Mulligan Concert Band, which also looks great. So much music, so little time... Actually, I am looking at some "life changes" and I think this will be the last big Mosaic order for some time, though I will probably request the Pepper Select for my birthday.

Uncle Skid Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Well, my set (#766) finally arrived today via DHL dogsled. I was beginning like the kid that didn't get any ice cream at the party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn fine service I must say, I must say. My set is #1088 btw... (sorry Chuck ) Edited March 4, 2005 by Jim Dye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesbed Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I especially enjoy the 'B' section with viola and cello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Just received my Hill Select set. This one is #072. Have been giving CD1 a repeated hearing, some fascinating music on this collection. Highly recommended ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 (edited) By the way, I started a new, separate thread to discuss the music. Link: Andrew Hill Select "Talk About the Music" thread!!, step right up - tell us what you think!! Those of you/us who get the set and want to talk about the music, please do so there. This thread's got tons of "are we there yet?? - are we there yet??!!! " type posts (I know, I posted them too ), that I think it's best to start with a clean slate. Don't forget the other thread I started, where the real discussion of the music be happenin'. Anybody mind if I ask Jim to lock this thread?? (meaning this "speculation" thread) Edited April 1, 2005 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
