Dan Gould Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 As I mentioned in the latest "Upcoming" thread, I've exhausted the usual suspects at Mosaic so I went a little deeper this time and have requested The Complete HRS Sessions Bob Brookmeyer Select Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neveronfriday Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Up. I know which set I'll be getting (see avatar). If I have some spare dough in the new year, I'm leaning toward either the Roy Eldridge or Sonny Stitt sets (likely Eldridge as it's slightly cheaper and I only have one album of his). What are fellow Organissimo-ites wishing for this year? Pryan. May I recommend the Eldridge to you? For myself, it has been an almsot endless treasure trove of enjoyment ... and I had quite a few of these sessions on other CDs. I'm really happy I invested into this set. Besides my Teddy Wilson one, this is top-of-the-heap for me and in constant rotation around here. Mosaic did an excellent job with this one and for my part, I cannot come up with a single reason why one shouldn't own this box! And, the sound is fabulous as well! Cheers!

jazzbo Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Dan, those are two good choices, I bet you like those! Me, I was going to ask for a Mosaic set for Xmas, and then Helen asked me "What do you think about getting a lap top, an Apple one, for you sort of for Xmas"? I replied. . . "Not a bad idea. . .

Thanks for the additional "push". Most people seem to dig the Eldridge set A HELL OF A LOT. The fact that I own only SWINGIN' ON THE TOWN, is reason enough to get it, I suppose. Here's hoping the cash is there after X-Mas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I purchased an iBook G4 back in October and it is a marvellous little machine, let me tell you. Wireless internet, iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, etc. Fast, easy-to-use; does everything I ask of it and then some. You're in for a treat, Lon.

Big Al Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Grachan Moncur Select, thanks to Ghost of Miles’ radio show! May have to order it myself, wrap it, put it under the tree “from Santa!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Skid Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Grachan Moncur Select, thanks to Ghost of Miles’ radio show! May have to order it myself, wrap it, put it under the tree “from Santa!” That's a good 'un, Al. B-) I wasn't crazy about it at first, but now I'm really diggin' it. It was also my first introduction to Jackie McLean, and I've been really enjoying his stuff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) I have a 'Krupa and James' (sounds like a posh gents outfitters.. ) set in the mail and assuming it arrives in time for the big day it will remain unopened until then. I've also got some HMV discount vouchers that I am thinking of using on either a Euro-Tal or a Euro-Eldridge set so that should Mosaic me out for a while. Cold turkey then until the Andrew Hill Select and the next Miles LP set comes out. Edited December 8, 2004 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been listening to the H.R.S. set this week and it's an essential purchase IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I was thinking of asking for the Roach Mosaic but money's a bit too tight for that. It's really too bad that the Hill and Pepper aren't ready for the holidays, since either would be about the right size gift request. And there's no way I can hold off on the Hill Select until my birthday! (Maybe I can hold off on the Pepper.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I was thinking of asking for the Roach Mosaic but money's a bit too tight for that. It's a great set, Eric....you should just ask for it and see what happens! As for myself, I'm thinking about giving myself the following Christmas gifts: Dexter Gordon Select Don Pullen Select Dizzy Reece Select Considered buying the Gerald Wilson or Horace Parlan sets, but decided to hold off and go for the variety offered in the purchase of 3 Selects.

Personally, that would be the one I'd go for. I'm still debating the Pullen, since I have most of the material already. But I completely forgot about the Gordon. That might make a good request. Eric P.S. Don't wait too long on the Parlan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibes Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I gave my wife a list of 10 Mosaics in which I'm interested. I think I have a good chance of getting at least one this year, since she said "the last of my Christmas presents came in the mail today." If I don't get them, I'll be ordering the Gordon and Pullen Selects after Christmas, and will probably pre-order the Andrew Hill as well.

RDK Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 When, over our recent Thanksgiving get-together, I offered a Mosaic catalog not-so-discretely marked up as a "wish list" to my family members, it was greeted with a lot of "Oh great - now I know what to get you for Christmas." So the question now is not will I get a Mosaic box for X-mas, but how many? Takes some of the surprise out of it, I guess, but it's better than more socks. They should use that in their holiday catalog: Mosaic Records: better than socks for Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) I've dropped hints about the Reece Select and the Randy Weston Select. For some reason no one likes to order online in my family (except me.) I think everyones paranoid about ID theft. I've gotten Selects as gifts before but usally have to order them myself then they are "given" to me by my family.

Its not toll free, but if you use a cel and have plenty of minutes, who cares? My Mom wouldn't even know how to turn on a PC but she's managed to order Mosaic sets for a long, long time.

sjarrell Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 I keep sticking Mosaic catalogs in my wife's bag. She must have at least 3 of 'em at the office by now. All have the Bennie Green Select hi-lited. I'm hoping she's gotten the hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 sjarrell, Sounds like a little Ralphie Parker Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle action from the Christmas Story. Well if it worked for him, then you've got an even chance. Just be careful you don't shoot your eye out. Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
