J.A.W. Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Clicked on the link you posted but the Oscar Peterson set didn't show up. Mosaic's Scott Wenzel told me last Monday (8/11) that the set would not be up for pre-order until some time next week. Edited August 13, 2008 by J.A.W.

king ubu Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 it shows up for me - I guess I'll get this once it runs low (might be faster than we anti-OP-organissimos think), but not before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tapscott Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I found this statement odd. "Today- less than two years after his death- is a great time to reflect on the music that first attracted attention and cemented this piano master's reputation." Why the two year time frame? True it is less than two years, but in fact right now, it is less than eight months since OP died. Dec. 23, 2007. It's as if the person who wrote the promo only had a vague idea of his date of death.

jazzbo Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 These were actually very good albums. . . And there's a lot of music here! I've preordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very odd way to make web & catalog copy last longer. Perhaps it's also a hint as to when it will time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tapscott Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Now it's gone! I bet they did that just to make me look foolish. Nope. I saw it with my own eyes. Wow! From pre-order to running low to last chance to sold-out in 2 hours! Some kind of record! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Should be a good chance that this one will show up in Europe as a 'Euro-Mosaic' I would think ('OP's Complete Verve/Clef Concert Band Recordings' ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Does anyone know what the "most successful" Mosaic set was? That is, which one sold out, and in the shortest period, resulting in the most revenue in the shortest period of time? I think Ubu is right and OP should attract a lot of attention from folks who aren't quite as "hard core" as the typical Mosaic buyer. So this OP set may go "running low" a lot faster than the average set that reaches that status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tapscott Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) I am tempted, strongly tempted. I know I shouldn't, but I want to.... Ok, so if I preorder, I won't be paying until September or maybe even October....my birthday is in October, sure to get a little cash..., oh man, the rationilizations...and the samples sound very good....but I really want the TA/LT Select, too....

I don't know, maybe 60-90% of the people who filled the concert halls that he performed in for the last decades of his life would not be hardcore Mosaic buyers? My point is that if Mosaic captures a fraction of that, this set will be exceptionally successful for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, Mosaic's Scott Wenzel told me the Akiyoshi/Tabackin Select won't be available for pre-order until mid-September at the earliest and it's scheduled for release in October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Anyone else notice that with the OP set, they've jumped from #239 (Lester Young) to #241? What's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple explanation: set #240 will be released later. As noted in a separate thread I started a while ago a few sets are still in preparation (Braxton, Goodman). Edited August 14, 2008 by J.A.W.

Simple explanation: set #240 will be released later. As noted in a separate thread I started a while ago a few sets are still in preparation (Braxton, Goodman). Understood. But normally they're numbered in the order in which they're released. I guess #240 (Braxton or Goodman) was delayed beyond the originally anticipated release date.

Same here , but i'm waiting for those to come out The Complete Arista Recordings Of Anthony Braxton (8 CDs) Classic Columbia Benny Goodman Orchestra Sessions (1939-1958) (7 CDs) MOSAIC SELECT: Toshiko Akiyoshi -Lew Tabackin Big Band (3 CDs) ... and save on the shipping fees by ordering them all at the same time.

adhoc Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 So... any feedback on how this set sounds? I am familiar with OP's later work on MDS and Pablo, but not his 51-53 Clef/Mercury output. I'm wondering whether it'll be 'more of the same'... will it?

J.A.W. Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) So... any feedback on how this set sounds? I've only listened to disc 1 so far and, considering the age of the recordings and the fact that some tracks were taken from 78s and LPs because there were no tape sources, to my ears it sounds pretty good. The tape transfers were done by Ellen Fitton, the disc transfers by Malcolm Addey, Dr Michael Arie and Mark Wilder and the set was mastered by Malcolm Addey. Edited September 7, 2008 by J.A.W.
