RDK Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 First heard some of this material on a mid-80s Verve cassette called, iirc, "Dale's Wail." It was one of those transcendant jazz listening experiences for me, and I wore out that tape before my roommate at the time borrowed it forever.

It's the reason I would get the Mosaic box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micha Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was just placing an order from the 15% off sale and noticed that this is on Last Chance now too so I had to add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micha Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was just placing an order from the 15% off sale and noticed that this is on Last Chance now too so I had to add it. What else did you buy? (It's cheaper to live vicariously through other people's orders. ) In addition to the Eldridge, I picked up the Teagarden set based on the reviews here and the Bix/Trumbauer/Teagarden which I've had my eyes on for a few years now. I probably would've just added them to my cart without clicking the "Order" button because that's usually what I do when I'm tempted but when I saw the Roy Eldridge in Last Chance that was the final motivation I needed. And I picked up the Tal Farlow a couple years ago in the Zweitausendeins sale or else I would've certainly got that instead of one of the others. I'd actually not heard him prior to my order at the time but that set turned out to be one of my top 3-4 favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzkrow Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Per Mosaic they are down to under 60 sets of the Eldridge. Just bought mine (as well as the Basie set at 15% off..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are probably running at 58 or fewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyStitt Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Per Mosaic they are down to under 60 sets of the Eldridge. Just bought mine (as well as the Basie set at 15% off..) Weird. When I called around that time they said there were twenty left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Well, there's one less left now, be it 57 or 19 Listened to disc one. Not a big fan of strings but it was passable. Rest is very good. Must have timed out because my copy is in the 2000's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't listed to much Eldridge in a while and forgot how much I really dig his tone. This is soon on its way to becoming one of my favorite Mosaic sets!
