Van Basten II Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Is it me or the Mosaic site is slow today ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Took a while finally made an order spent for 400 $ of fine music, went for the Ellington, Jazz Crusaders, Oliver Nelson. Among the Selects bought the Onzy Matthews, Pullen and solo Hill. Have to go to rob a few gas stations, i'll be back soon, take care.

Face of the Bass Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Mosaic needs to regenerate its catalog. All the offerings now seem much too bourgeois for my tastes. Whither the avant-garde? Protest? Revolution? All the remaining options seem like they were churned out by the same mill. Sorry to throw cold water on your suggestion, but if Mosaic's current offerings are selling slowly, I can't imagine that the ones you suggest will exactly fly off the shelves. I can understand Mosaic's caution. I agree. I don't think the avant-garde etc. will sell any better than the "bourgeois" stuff, on the contrary. Maybe, maybe not. You're probably right. All I know is that the catalog is looking awfully stale these days, from my perspective, and I've bought more than 20 of their sets, counting Selects and boxes. They keep offering these sales and I keep looking at what's available and thinking, "Nah, I'll pass." I'd like it if they came out with something that would surprise me a little bit, maybe target a different audience, maybe bring in some new customers, even.

I've thought Mosaic Contemporary was a mistake for a while (well, since they announced it, actually). People who might possibly like that kind of music surely aren't going to be attracted to Mosaic by the availability of a few things when there is so much that's as good (from that point of view) available anyway, at lower prices. It's not generally my kind of music, but I think Face's idea isn't bad. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG I doubt they'd recoup the investment needed for the licensing, research, mastering, etc. of an avant-garde set or something similar. Maybe...I'm not an expert at all on the business. But today I've been listening to the wonderful Jimmy Lyons box set on Ayler Records and wishing that Mosaic had done something similar along the way. I mean, there's a ton of stuff out there from the 1970s or 1980s that could be packaged together as a box, and that's besides the oft-rumored Braxton Arista set.

BFrank Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 If the UPS tracker is correct and if Mosaic's shipment is as quick as usual, I should have a wealth of boxes arriving on Monday - Joe Hen's Milestone box from Dusty Groove and Hank & Onzy from Mosaic. Whew! When am I going to listen to all of this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 You can't--it's impossible. You need to send me 1 or 2 of those boxes so I can help out with the listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
