Maynard Ferguson Roulette-CDs available?

[jazzkrow]

For those of you fortunate enough to own the Mosaic box set, are any of the sessions on the Mosaic set available on individual CDs? I own the Hollywood Jam Sessions CD that Fresh Sound put out.

This is one Mosaic that only goes up in value.

Any of the Roulettes issued individually on CD...?

Thanks!

Actually quite a bit of it is available on individual CD's.

I'll list some amazon links

That's not quite all of it, but the prime stuff anyway.

But why go through the hassle.

For $1,100 you can get a new set or for $700 a used set.

THANKS, GUYS....

[GA Russell]

John, I had no idea that there were that many! Thanks!

The earlier Emarcy sessions, 1953_1955 have great West coast sidemen.Bud Shank. Bob Cooper, Russ Freeman, etc

If you really like the Roulette band's evolution (and I do!), you might consider following it through to conclusion via the Cameo/Mainstream albums.

I might even rate the Mainstream album as the best album that period of the Maynard band ever made...

I loved "Dues," but I always liked "The Blues Roar" even better:

Never knew what to make of The Blues Roar...seems like it was more "Maynard with expanded studio band" than "Maynard's band" Either way, it came between Color Him Wild & The Maynard Ferguson Sextet album on Mainstream, which announced that the big band had been disbanded in November of 1964, so...who knows? There were several "in-between" records by Maynard with studio bands until he landed in London and got a for-real band going again.

From post #3 above:

I'll list some amazon links

5 out of 6 of the titles linked are unauthorized European Public Domain releases. Buyer beware.

Yeah, that's right. Don't buy them.

Do this instead.

I know some people here have much high moral standards than I, but I say that when the legitimate owners let them go out of print and have no interest in reissuing them, then get them however you can.

this is a slippery slope. I owned a number of masters and didn't have the funds to reissue them on cd (largely because I paid all involved). Lucky for me, my father died and I got some money.

Be careful of your moral standards.
