July '05 Mosaic Running Low & Last Chance

[trane_fanatic]

I'm sure this is a great set. I just don't think I could handle that much trombone. I got the Curtis Fuller box when it was Running Low. I realized then that I'm not much of a fan of trombone as a lead instrument.

... But also, as trane_fantastic and others have noted, there are lots of other great musicians on this set (he didn't list Elvin Jones, who's terrific on the many tracks on which he appears).

I did... the Jones bros. (Elvin, Hank & Sam)

Sorry, I missed that! I guess I was looking for Elvin's name separately because he's on 6 sessions/25 tracks , whereas Hank's only on 2 sessions and Sam's on 3.

Bummer.... for those of you who were on the fence... I'd call Mosaic and see if there was 1 flloating around somewhere...

Got mine a few months back and it is great!

Actually, Sam is a brother from another mother, if ya dig my drift. Now, if Thad was on there, then the trifecta would be complete.

Yeah, yeah, THAT'S why I missed it! But you still f-cked up by not mentioning Elvin separately.

My Anita set arrived !!!! 6 weeks by airmail to the UK- personal worst

Any rate Mosaic will have at least one Anita set left as they'd reserved another copy for me. I won't be needing it now so unless it's already spoken for interested parties should hop to it.

Congratulations!

Any idea what went wrong? Did the package give any clues?

I'm certain if must have come surface as it's not been via Mount Pleasant (sp?) sorting office which is always stamped on airmailed items I've ever received. Surface parcels have no markings.

I'd report it to Mosaic if I were you. They should file a claim with the carrier they used for your package.

Not really that sorry I missed it. I'm glad it's gone so I wouldn't be tempted.

By the way, it's still sold out and Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

Unlike the Generalissimo shiny new OOP copies of Anita are popping up on eBay (I'm shocked!)

So keep that guard up!

I'm with you by the way. Some of these sets you just have to let pass on by. (I think I just heard a few "NEVER's" out there regarding that last sentence, along with some "BUT NOT THIS ONE.")

let's watch this one

I think it's a little to recent to gauge the impact.

Just called Mosaic...75 Ory sets left. Another post had them at 150 sets at the end of July. Hopefully they won't sell out this month.

I have to admit I'm on the fence over this myself. It's a big splash, I'd enjoy it, but would I enjoy all of it...

That just about sums up my dilema too !

[ASNL77]

When I am on the fence over a Mosaic set, I always end up going for it because there is always the possibility to sell it on Ebay if I don't like the music. You have got nothing to lose guys. It's worth giving it a go and in the worst case sell it on ebay for more than you have actually spent! You can't really go wrong.

[John Tapscott]

I thought the samples of the Ory set sounded great. Hope it's not too much of a good thing. I was planning to wait until '06 for my next Mosaic, but just pulled the trigger on this one. One less, so you'd better make up your mind fast, guys.
