Mosaic: rumored/possible/in-the-works/suggested

[ghost of miles]

There's already a "forthcoming" thread that seems more devoted to imminent sets... thought I'd start this one by posting the e-mail reply I received today:

We are still awaiting a reply from Columbia on the Benny Goodman. Just found out that Collectables is about to issue all the Staton Capitols as 2 LPs on 1 CD so that kills that. Pomeroy is still on the list, but nothing definite.

Bummer about the Staton... would've much preferred Mosaic's treatment of that. The Pomeroy refers to my previous suggestion that they do a Select of the 1950s EMI-owned material.

Anybody heard anything lately about the Boswell Sisters set?

MC must be answering emails today; I got a response that he would look in to a set of Gary Burton's RCA lps. . . .

Really?! It would be a hugh set - 7 or 8 CDs at least.

[Guy Berger]

I'd really like to have a complete Charles Lloyd + Chico Hamilton on Columbia select or big box.

He just said he would look in to it. . . it may be for example Quartet lps only, which would be a manageable size, and is great stuff! Or it may never happen.

Great stuff indeed. Duster is fantastic!

[jazzbo]

Damn straight!

I thought Burton came out!

[Chuck Nessa]

Has anyone mentioned Chu Berry?

[Brad]

Not sure Burton would do it for me at least not a whole box set's worth. I'd like to have the early 60s stuff but not the later fusion type material. Chu Berry would be something. Is that on the drawing board or just a wish?

How about a Mosaic Select of Shorter's Moto Grosso, Odyssey of Iska, and the unreleased session from a couple months later with McCoy Tyner? OK, I'd take a BN connoisseur of this as well.

I think it's unlikely we woudl see that unreleased session. I'm pretty sure MC has talked with both McCoy and Wayne about unreleased sessions, agreed to release those they would not mind seeing released, and agredd not to release (maybe even given them the tapes) those they don't want to see released. . . .

[bertrand]

Toss in Super Nova and you have enough material for a select. Otherwise, each CD will only clock in at around 40 minutes (assuming the rejected session is 40 minutes). I think Cuscuna would find that a bit short.

I'd dropped them a line after Mal Waldron's death suggesting that if they could get the rights to Waldron's 1970s work with Enja that'd make a nice set.... doubt it'll ever happen but you never know. I don't think all of those LPs were ever released on CD, & I suspect Enja has more stuff in the can (the CD reissues sometimes have extra tracks).

Lovely idea. I think 5 or so have made it to CD, and at least 2 have not.

But there are also some Waldron dates on a miscellany of Japanese labels that haven't shown up as well, I think.

That would be a good set.

[chris olivarez]

The Gary Burton RCA's would be a nice set.

Is Gabor Szabo on these albums?

Hey cool Lon - great news about the Burton RCA set being in the running! I posted this thread a while back suggesting that very set and there was a nice discussion that ensued:

Burton RCA Mosaic Idea

I guess enough little birds from this board (and probably elsewhere!) must have also planted the idea in MC's ear!

[jazzbo]

Well, let me reiterate: all MC said was that he would look into it. Could be ten years from now before he finally says. . . no. (Here's hoping otherewise).

Missed that earlier thread entirely somehow!

[DrJ]

Yeah, I won't be holding my breath until the Burton set does/doesn't happen, but it's nice to know there's hope!

Not as good as a yes but not as bad as a no. Let's hope for the best.

Szabo should be on most of the Chico albums and on Lloyd's first album. Lloyd's second album for Columbia was with Herbie, Ron and Tony IIRC.

Wouldn't mind seeing a "Mosaic Select" treatment of those Milt Jackson Quartet albums from the early 80's documenting their appearance at Ronnie Scott's. Probably not very likely for many reasons but the music is certainly worthy of more attention.
