golfcrazy1984 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well, since the holidays are drawing near, I figured it would be fun to see if anyone was asking their loved ones for anything from Mosaic Records. Since the Coleman Hawkins box set is delayed...I am going to ask for: 1. Mosaic Select: Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin (MS-033) 2. Mosaic Select: Sidney Bechet (MS-022) There's nothing like opening up one of those big Mosaic boxed sets, but since the Hawkins won't be here and the Chu Berry is out of stock, these selects look pretty good!

Face of the Bass Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I've already been informed that I'm getting the Coleman Hawkins set, which will be exciting when it comes out next month (hopefully). It's the first Mosaic I've really been excited about in a couple of years, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I'm up to date on all the Mosaic material, I'm just waiting for the Hawkins. On the other hand, there's no one in my life who would give me a Mosaic set! It's not the value, it's just they wouldn't know what to get me, wouldn't think to ask, would rather surprise me with something else.

mikelz777 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) No Mosaics for me this year. I'm up to 31 Mosaics and can only really think of 1 or 2 I'd want in addition to those and even those aren't "must haves" for me. Actually, there's no jazz on my Christmas wish list this year. The only CDs I'm asking for this year are: Brian Setzer - Rockabilly Riot 1: A Tribute to Sun Records The Black Keys - They're new to me so any of their titles would be interesting.

gmonahan Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 My father always gives me some money, so that goes for the Hawkins when it comes out. Looking forward to that one! gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) No Mosaics for me this year - but I do have the Michael Garrick and Graham Collier books on order. Edited December 14, 2011 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face of the Bass Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Actually the box set I really want this Christmas is the Vandermark Resonance set, but I'm kind of doubting anyone gets me that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the value, it's just they wouldn't know what to get me, wouldn't think to ask, would rather surprise me with something else. Probably for the best. My son tried to surprise me with the Lester Young when it came out. Of course I'd already ordered it.

kh1958 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I believe I'm receiving the Jimmy Lunceford set and the Newman/Cohn/Green Select. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'm still debating between 3 options: Hawkins, Ellington 1932-1940 and Henry Threadgill. In addition I'll probably order one Mosaic Select: Sam Rivers & The Rivbea Orch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 No one would really know which one to give to me... or care to find out either. I will however get the Phil Spector box and the Nina Simone RCA albums box... both upon my own wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill B Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Amazon and Deep Discount Gift Certificates wanted. The Mehldau-7 CD Box Set is on the radar as well as Dolphy Complete @ Five Spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I received Amazon gift certificates and originally ordered the Pacific Jazz Piano Trios Mosaic Select. After the seller canceled that order, I ordered the Carmell Jones Mosaic Select, which arrived today. I don't have anything with Frank Strazzeri, so I'm looking forward to hearing him at length. It arrived today and it might just kill me having to wait until tomorrow to listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Asked myself for and received the 1930's Ellington Big Band box last week (with a little help from the Grey Cup contest gift certificate). Look forward to some great listening in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles65 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Treated myself to: Jimmie Lunceford big box, Charles Tolliver big band select, Ruby Braff and George Wein singles. Next on the waiting list Coleman Hawkins and the MJQ. Later this year: Joe Pass and the Chick Webb/Ella Fitzgerald sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Well, last year (2010) I got the Ahmad Jamal Mosaic and have been playing it tons during the year (also Argo/Cadet material by another famous pianist ) Will Mosaic issue a box of Ramsey Lewis' early stuff? Gerrrrcher! And I got the Armstrong Decca Mosaic in June. So I didn't bother with Mosaic this Christmas. I got Ray Charles - Singular genius: the complete ABC singles 1960-1972 I got a good few of Ray's early ABC singles, but then decided the Atlantic material was much better, so I gave up on him. While most of the tracks I decided were duff forty-something years ago are still just as duff now, what I missed, which this set provides, are the B sides. Some of those B sides are effin' masterpieces! I relish, in particular, his revival of Chuck Jackson's hit, 'I wake up crying' with an incredible arrangement by Gerald Wilson. Bert Bacharach could never have imagined this. 5 CDs and a not too bad note from Billy Vera, decent discographical info, good packaging. I could have done with the notes noting the pop and R&B chart positions of each cut, but that's a very minor quibble. And, amazingly, it's Concord who have brought this out. They've also brought out a two CD set of all 4 of Ray's jazz albums from the sixties-seventies - Genius+soul=jazz; My kind of jazz; Jazz II; and My kind of jazz part 3 (which was on Crossover not ABC). I've been looking for Jazz II for years. Some very nice Teddy Edwards in there. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
