garthsj Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 The mailman, braving the rain, delivered this afternoon a package that had been eagerly awaited ... Bob Brookmeyer .... Mosaic Select 9 ... #0381 Bud Shank and Bob Cooper ... Mosaic Select 10 .. #0087 I immediately started with the Brookmeyer, eager to hear the sound of the Quartet album after having listened to my original 1953 10" vinyl version for all these years. The result.. SUPERB remastering my Ron McMasters .... you can actually hear a few grunts from John Williams which I had certainly never heard before on the vinyl. (Williams is wonderfully percussive on this set, sounding more like Russ Freeman at times). The "Streetswingers" album is playing as I write this ..... one of my favorite Pacific Jazz albums. I am an "old guy" and have been collecting jazz, west coast and bop, since 1952, so this stuff is not new to me. Having disposed of my my 9,000 vinyl albums a couple of years ago, it is wonderful to have this material available again in such great audio fidelity. Way to go Mosaic! Garth, Houston.

street singer Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 (edited) Thanks for the info on the new Selects, Garth. Good to have another Houstonian on board! (I'm currently living about 30 miles east of Houston, but commute to the Big City daily) Edited January 30, 2004 by street singer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphie_boy Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I've been diggin' the Brookmeyer for a few days now. Traditionalism Revisited is a standout, but the entire set is top notch. This is my first exposure to Brookmeyer as a leader and these sessions definitely exceeded my expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Hiles Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Note on the Mosaic web site: 'The Brookmeyer set is currently on backorder and is expected to ship the week of February 23rd. You may order the set and we will not charge your credit card until the set ships.' I guess this means it's selling better than expected!

tatifan Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) Make that three of us from Houston on here! This is only my 6th post though. A number of Mosaic Selects are calling me, and this is one of them (Brookmeyer, that is). I can't seem to get the sound clips to play on the Mosaic site -- is there a trick to this? I'm using Windows 98 (still). Edited April 7, 2004 by tatifan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Sometimes, when I try the higher-bit samples from the Mosaic page, nothing happens. Have you tried using the lower-bit samples? When I can't get the higher-bit samples to work I can, at times, get the the lower-bit samples to play. I don't believe it's my connection since I'm using a broadband connection to the internet.
