The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Got an e-mail from True Blue including details of some sales of Francis Wolff photos. (Should this be in the Mosaic forum or somewhere else?) Hank Mobley coming out of the Columbus Circle subway station in New York City in 1963. This shot was used for the cover of his "No Room For Squares" album. This 11 x 14 fine art fiber print with an image size of 10 x 10 was made from Francis Wolff's original negative. Miles, Dex, Herbie go for $750 Hank for $500 Curtis Fuller, poor bugger, goes for $300. SO HOW MUCH FOR A FRED JACKSON PRINT!!!!!!! HOW MUCH FOR DON WILKERSON! HOW MUCH FOR BABY FACE??????? (Oh, we don't do those.....) MG Edited July 11, 2007 by The Magnificent Goldberg Quote
porcy62 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 At one of their sales I bought Thad Jones, the cover of "The Magnificient", and Thelonious Monk at piano. Nice prints. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) I've got a few framed 16x20s of the 'old style' Mosaic prints hanging in the house. A 'Hank with ciggie and mike' from 'The Turnaround' (the one inside the RVG CD pack), a Wayne Shorter 'All Seeing Eye', Coltrane/Fuller/Morgan 'Blue Train', a Freddie Hubbard 'The Turnaround', an Art Farmer 'Stylings of Silver' and a Melvin Lastie 'Alligator Bogaloo'. Love em ! I seem to recall that Mosaic stopped doing shipments of the Wolff prints overseas a few years ago - not sure if they have changed this policy. Edited July 11, 2007 by sidewinder Quote
ASNL77 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) This Hank Mobley's picture is one of my favourite BN cover art! But $750 is a hell of a lot of money and my other half would kill me if I was to go for this!! I'd love to pull the trigger but I'd rather spend the money on more music.She doesn't seem to mind too much about that.... Edited July 11, 2007 by ASNL77 Quote
sidewinder Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Looks like they have jacked up the prices quite a bit. Some of mine were 'seconds'/spares but once framed you wouldn't know it at all - they were a great deal. The others I picked up at an exhibition some years ago in London - the Shorter is marked up 1/150 in the print run and the Coltrane is 11/150 I think. They did a very fine job with the framing/matting. Still, that picture of Hank is pretty damn nice.. Edited July 11, 2007 by sidewinder Quote
Bluerein Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Luckily it's "only" $500 and not $750!!!!! Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 I like the full pic much better than the cropped version used for the cover. Quote
Dave Garrett Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 The Wolff prints look like a bargain compared to these. Quote
sheldonm Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 The Wolff prints look like a bargain compared to these. Jim's a little pricey! m~ Quote
Eric Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Are these listed on the Mosaic web site? Could not find them ... Quote
sheldonm Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Are these listed on the Mosaic web site? Could not find them ... Info on those particular prints was sent out in an email a couple days ago.....here http://www.mosaicrecords.com/photosearch.asp?search=52 is a link to the other photos on the Mosaic site. m~ Quote

At that time, they told me they would basically print anything that I could find that Francis shot? May be worth giving them a call. Most likely they don't want to list everthing he shot....hell I wouldn't list everything I have shot. I have a nice big print of Jimmy Smith that was used on the Mosaic set that I had Jimmy sign...very cool. He was under the weather that night and a "little" grouchy! m~ >edited for spelling Edited July 13, 2007 by sheldonm Quote
medjuck Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 I like the full pic much better than the cropped version used for the cover. I feel the same way about the Trane photo used on Blue Trane. By the time I first saw it they were out of print. I found a poster with the uncropped picture on e-Bay, then bought a different shot from Mosaic that looked like it had been taken a few seconds later from a different angle. Quote
