Whole batch of Mosaic Selects and Singles running low

[Rooster_Ties]

The MJQ is the only thing I'm tempted by, though at 7CD's (seemingly 14 albums of material), I think it's easily probably twice as much MJQ material as I'll ever need.

Mulling it over, but the Bee-Hive box I got back in May might well be the last ever 'new' Mosaic set I ever buy (unless they surprise me with a brand new release or two in the coming years).

On my way to the post office to fetch mine! 

I've got one ordered/pending shipment (hopefully).

It is a much more varied set than you might think due to the different approaches John Lewis applied to each studio album. Almost no repetition of tunes, which is totally the opposite with the live albums. 

But I can send you a list of the single CDs I have for sale now that I have the box ...

You know, that's not a half bad idea. PM me a list, and maybe 2-3 of the right discs would be plenty. Thx!

[mikeweil]

Will do so tomorrow!

The Woody Shaw and Louis Armstrong Live set are now last chance.

[medjuck]

The Henry Threadgill is not listed as OOP but it's also not listed as being available.  

[JSngry]

It's probably at the library, since this isn't Sunday, when they are closed.

Updating the OOP list never was a priority on the Mosaic website.

[medjuck]

If it is out of print it may be their smallest selling set: I got it a month or two ago and I got number 1704.    BTW It's a great set.

I thought I missed one in my posts but I couldn't remember wich one. 

[Lyin' Wolf]

Don't know if this was reported elsewhere, but it appears the Armstrong Live is now OOP.  22 sets left, if you count the back ordered Turrentine.

[miles65]

The Hank Mobley and Clifford Jordan sets joined the running low list.

[JSngry]

These really are The Last Days if Hank's on the Endangered List.

I thought the same thing. That, or the license is *finally* running out!

Now or never for the Mobley. One of my favorite Mosaics.

[Lyin' Wolf]

These are  indeed the last days of Mosaic, at least as we currently know them.  The addition of Mobley and Jordan to the Last Chance process make 9 of their currently available 22 sets in the last chance phase.  That total of 22 sets of course includes the long back ordered Turrentine set - which really seems unlikely to reappear.

The Mobley set hitting the running low category seems as significant as the Parker, IMO.  It seemed for so long that the Mobley was going to go on forever.

Clifford Jordan is also significant in that I believe it was recently on back order and then re-printed.  Seems like they printed just enough to fulfill their back-orders plus a few more and that now they are running the set through a formal last chance process

I know there is a Teddy Wilson set yet to be released and perhaps a few more projects if a recent post in another thread is accurate.  Seems to me the new business model is to eliminate the huge back catalog along with its associated costs, do new releases in very limited quantities and very likely ship the music themselves, as opposed to utilizing an external shipping service.

The Slide Hampton single Drum suite is now last chance. When this one is gone Ruby Braff Hi Fi salute to Bunny is the last Single.

Correction

[miles65]

Hank Mobley and Charlie Parker are last chance. James P. Johnson is now running low.

 

[JSngry]

Yeah, Bennedetti was essentially promised for perpetuity, so, if you're ever gonna get right with god, now's the time (pun only slightly intended), looks like the end is near, or even closer.

[Misterioso]

The expected delivery date of the Turrentine set has been moved again (to March).

[mikeweil]

As long as they do get another batch, that's alright with me - the later in the year, the more likely my budget will allow me to order one.

[Misterioso]

Just got a shipping notification for the Turrentine set!

[Ed S]

Looks like they found some Stan Getz Norgran LP sets.  It's back on Last Chance

This is the one released on HipO on CD, right?
