EKE BBB Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Still in the LAST CHANCE list! It´s been RUNNING LOW or LAST CHANCE since November 11, almost 7 months! Anybody knows how many are left? Not that I care, as I picked mine some weeks ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 How would you compare the Atlantic N.O. recordings to the "New Orleans: The Living Legends" series I did for Riverside in '61? BTW I regret that I did not include a marching band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Just received an e-mail from Mosaic. There are 12 sets left. Go ahead, guys! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 The Vee Jays are gone while the New Orleans Jazz box is still hanging around. While not the same style of jazz as the Vee Jay sets, there is nothing wrong with the New Orleans Jazz box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Just received an e-mail from Mosaic. There are 12 sets left. Go ahead, guys! B) Oh, man. OK--I'm not particularly a fan of NO jazz, but I just pulled the trigger, and Fred Pustay says they still had 13, which means they now have a dozen left. I also picked up the Hackett and the most recent Selects. My wallet says , but my jazz-lovin' heart says Will wait until mid-July to order the Farlow and Herman together--hope I get some more radio gigs in the meantime to pay for 'em!

sidewinder Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Make that 11 - I've just pulled the Stamford Trigger and also narrowly avoided ordering a Randy Weston Select too (leave that one till later). I guess my New Orleans Jazz instruction/indoctrination starts here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesbed Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 There is no point in me purchasing the Atlantic New Orleans box AGAIN. I purchased my copy a couple of months ago. This is no fun when I don't have a need to purchase Last Chance items to keep up with AfricaBrass and ghost of miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Against all odds, it still seems to be hanging in there on 'Last Chance'. What stamina ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Another thanks to you guys and gals here for turning me on to the Atlantic NO set. I got it shortly after it hit the 'last chance' list and have been enjoying it ever since. However, for the sake of my bank account and marraige, I hope we have a break from titles appearing on the 'running low/last chance' list.

wesbed Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 If you don't like New Orleans style jazz, I'd recommend not buying this set. On the other hand, if you do like (or think you might like) New Orleans jazz, this is a very good set to have. It's classic New Orleans jazz played well and recorded well. This is the first New Orleans music I've heard that was recorded recently-enough to produce a good clear sound. The listener gets to hear all the instruments from the muted trumpet to the screaming clarinet to the drums and banjo. There is a lot to listen to in this music if the recording is detailed enough to hear the instruments. I'm more accustomed to the older recordings of Louis Armstrong and Bix where the playing was excellent but the recording quality wasn't so good. The New Orleans Jazz Mosaic opened my ears to just how good this music was if you could have been present to hear it live in its day. If I remember correctly, most, if not all, of the New Orleans Mosaic is recorded in stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 C'mon. Somebody make this fall of the Last Chance list, please. I want to know that I own another OOP Mosaic box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I have given it some thought, but don't think that I will bite. I need to hear another good reason. I own a ton of New Orleans jazz, including 40s and 50s revival recordings on American, Storyville, Good Time, Riverside, and other labels. I also have a single disc on Atlantic with 1/4 of the material on this box set. So why do I need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 So why do I need it? Malcolm Addey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 So why do I need it? Malcolm Addey. What instrument does he play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Addey's work is no better than Dave Jones' on the Riverside N.O. "Living Legends" recordings--in fact, I really thing Dave did a better job. That said, I think one should base one's decisions on the music rather than the engineer.

I don't mean for this to be a smart-assed remark to your post. I believe you provided excellent information about Dave Jones and Malcolm Addey regarding the New Orleans Jazz sessions. This is a good bit of knowledge for anybody who is considering purchasing this music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 WTF? How many of these sets can be left? Somebody, quick, purchase these last couple of New Orleans Jazz sets. I'm thinking Mosaic might need the shelf space to store the Tal Farlow boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 This set sounds damn good - a pleasant suprise. I recommend it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I'm listening to the 'funeral music' through headphones as I type this text. This music makes me not want to die. At times, during the funeral music, voices can be heard... people speaking. I heard the voices through my headphones and got a funny feeling there was somebody else in my house besides me (at 12:30AM). I had kind of a panicked feelng till I realized that the voices were coming from the Mosaic CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAL Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 As good as the music on this set is, there's plenty more similar recordings available on other labels particularly, Fantasy's Good Time Jazz and GHB Jazz Foundation's American Music or GHB Records. GHB Jazz especially has got me hooked. There're at least 50-60 excellent albums by artists such as George Lewis, Kid Thomas, Bunk Johnson, Billie & De De Pierce playing their best and recorded in good to excellent sound too.
