mikeweil Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 So it was a wise decision to order the Akiyoshi/Tabackin as soon as it went running low. Didn't yet have the time to listen to it, but I'm surely glad my copy is safe at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesoul Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Some "Running Low" sets are on sale til 8/31, looks like 10% off. A few new additions to the RL list, as well, Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw, Quincy Jones. Two Weeks Only: Sale Ends August 31st With limited editions, saying farewell to sets is the nature of the beast. We have announced six sets from some of the greatest artists in jazz that are running low and slated for deletion. Leases from the record labels that own the masters are finite, but there are other factors involved. We also have to live by the old adage "out with the old and in with the new", as we have to make room for new sets both space-wise and and financially.

sidewinder Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Looks like I need to grab that Artie Shaw ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesoul Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Jazz Crusaders promoted from "Running Low" to "Last Chance" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Ordered the Shaw and added the Clooney to make sense shipping-wise (of course because I want it, not just to pay 5$ for shipping ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesnik Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Got the Lionel Hampton, of which I wasn't aware of. Good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I see both the Jazz Crusaders and the Akiyoshi/Tabackin are now on Last Chance - these happen to be the two I ordered months ago ... my instincts seemto be working properly. Got the Hutcherson Select, and now it's gone. But right now I don't have the money, although the Quincy, Hamp, and Woody are on my wish list ...

sidewinder Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I really like the Quincy. I find that - as with the Oliver Nelson - it is a set that tends to be opened up and spun quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ordered the Shaw and added the Clooney to make sense shipping-wise (of course because I want it, not just to pay 5$ for shipping ) I think you'll like the Clooney. I was surprised, frankly, at how much I enjoyed it! gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiRiIII Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 We are playing now the Andrew Hill solo Select; now only in the middle of the first track of Disc 1. What an amazing improviser. Debussy is all over his playing. If the remaining of the discs are so good, I am sure it will be one of the favorite Selects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I decided to go for the Quincy Jones - that's the one I want the most, and I can sell or give away the two Impulse and ABC discs I already have. Glad to see there are no overlaps with the 4 CD European Concerts box I have. Question Re: the Hampton: Is there any single disc with the complete all-star sax section session with Gillespie? - that's the one session I'd really love to have.

bresna Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I ordered the Akiyoshi/Tabackin set and the Jazz Crusaders set. I've been on the fence for both of them for a while and just figured it was now or never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I assume the reference was to Joe Sample's recent passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Great music. The sound is pretty good. I was surprised to find that I prefer the earlier Japanese cds I have of most of the releases more than the Mosaic, but if I hadn't had them I wouldn't have known that and would have been happy.
