I'm so THERE!

[jazzbo]

Really? I'm with Clem on this one. . . a few of these albums are very good but. . . . This is low down on my list.

I'll order the Ruby Braff Single.

[Tony Pusey]

Cant recall a Mosaic announcement which has been greeted here with such an underwhelmed response!

[Hot Ptah]

He's excited about it:

[J Larsen]

My feet remain firmly planted on the ground.

Originals of Q's Mercury albums pop up frequently and they're not expensive.

Well, ya' know, the guy was a good arranger and all, but other than the side w/Mingus LT et al, and maybe that Impulse! side, I don't really know that there's anything there other than "good arrangements well played", which is all well and good, but hell, this ain't Oliver Nelson we're talking about...

[Stefan Wood]

I'd be more excited by an Argo/Cadet box of any of the following - Ahmad Jamal, James Moody, or a compilation of sorts by Barry Harris, Richard Evans, Kenny Burrell, John Young, Chubby Jackson, etc., something thematic that could fit a bunch of different sessions that have not seen the light of cd (in the US).

It will probably be Mosaic's fasting selling box.

[J Larsen]

I keep waiting for them to announce the alleged Braxton Arista box.

[Eric]

Not to hijack the thread, but I would love to see a Muse set featruing Junior Cook, Bill Hardman, Mickey Tucker and Walter Bishop Jr. There are maybe 10 lps from these artists and a lot of sharing of personnel. I have it all on lp - great stuff!!

I think many of his 60s soundtracks rank up there with Lalo, Oliver, etc., but they're not part of this box.

"In the heat of the night" is certainly a great S/T. Never bought the record, though, so I don't know how it stands up away from Rod Steiger (and that other fellow).

[JSngry]

Agreed.

And how many soundtracks are being included in this set?

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Agreed.

Not many... 0

The latest is "hopefully" next year. I've been told that for years.

[Brad]

Can't say the Jones box blows me away but might be nice.

The Ruby Braff 'Hi-Fi Salute to Bunny' album was already reissued in 1994 by RCA/BMG Germany with the additional bonus track 'Did I Remember' on the CD.

I'll skip that one. But will be looking for the Quincy Jones set. By the way, Roland Kirk is featured on the soundtrack of 'In the Heat of the Night'.

[Christiern]

Sad to say, Quincy took credit for more arrangements than he actually wrote himself. I wonder if the liner notes will be honest enough to point that out?
