Mosaic are selling numerous new, sealed sets on eBay under their Bluenotesound store. It took several days to get admin approval of my account here, and many items have been sold in that time. The sets I’ve looked at are numbered 0005 to 0035 (“private reserve” no doubt), and are being sold at a market premium, vice original price So far I have purchased the Herbie Nichols and Teddy Wilson sets. The UPS shipments come from Mosaic Records in Stamford -- immediately. (Maybe not from the contract shipper’s warehouse?) COMPLETE BUCK CLAYTON JAM SESSIONS-MOSAIC 6-CD SET MINT I still can't believe that this set is now only going for $99 on eBay. I remember when it consistently got >$300. I almost sold mine back then... I wish I had! I could re-buy now for only $99. BTW, that Clayton set is one of my favorite Mosaic sets. Great jams with incredible musicians going on extended solos. The Hawk 's solos are pretty damn good. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 I'd love to get that J.J. Johnson set. Quote
JSngry Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Posted July 27, 2017 It's a good'un. Some early Elvin in spectacular vintage Columbia sound remastered to close enough to perfection such as to make no difference. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 The $300 price tag is a little too rich for my blood. Quote

Great jams with incredible musicians going on extended solos. The Hawk 's solos are pretty damn good. Just picked up one of those nice mint Buck Clayton sets from Mr Cuscuna. I have an LP version but this set is just so great that a digital version for frequent play is justified. Fantastic 30th St Studio sound ! Edited August 1, 2017 by sidewinder Quote
Scott Dolan Posted August 2, 2017 Report Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) I do believe the fire sale has officially started with the Dean Benedetti set "now running low!" Edited August 2, 2017 by Scott Dolan Quote
ghost of miles Posted August 2, 2017 Report Posted August 2, 2017 I hope that at least the Teddy Wilson set emerges from the flames. Last time I asked Scott about it (several weeks ago), he sounded optimistic that it would come out. Quote

Hope, hope! gregmo At the end of Scott's note about the Chick Webb video he says: "Stay tuned for more Teddy Wilson on Mosaic!!" Since it's kind of buried, hard to know if that statement still holds true. Quote
sidewinder Posted August 2, 2017 Report Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Hard to know what to make of all this. On the one hand the Benedetti set is being phased out and 'bluenotesound' is putting all those sets on ebay. On the other hand there is the encouraging statement on the Teddy Wilson and those backorder sets being repressed. Very mixed messages. Edited August 2, 2017 by sidewinder Quote

Ha - blame my keyboard for that ! In any event - just put in an order for the James P. and also the Mulligan Emarcy LPs before they become MIA. Edited August 2, 2017 by sidewinder Quote
