sidewinder Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 Just received an email from Mosaic to say that the Turrentine set is back in stock and to confirm forthcoming releases for the Wilson and Savory sets. Quote

Just look at the players! Some of my favorite dates in the box were in the vaults for many years, and first appeared on this twofer: Quote
JSngry Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Posted March 7, 2018 yeah, if you don't already have t, now's the time. It's good stuff. Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 54 minutes ago, mr jazz said: Opinions on the Turrentine set?? Go for it! I don't think you'll experience regrets... also heartened to see that email (which indicates the Wilson is now expected to ship in mid-March, so hopefully not too much more of a wait on that one). I'd also encourage anybody who's been on the fence about the 1932-40 Ellington to jump on that one as well. I just finished listening to that set all the way through again; an amazing stretch of music. Quote
king ubu Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 Got a reply now And another couple o' for Mr T! Quote
Brad Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 Haven’t listened to the Turrentine set for awhile but as others have said, it’s worth it to pick it up. Quote

sidewinder Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 The Turrentine set is excellent - really nice selection of ‘sessions worthy of a higher profile’. Quote
mikeweil Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 As soon as Jazz Messengers get it back in stock I will order one. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 We should get jobs as Mosaic sales assistants.. Quote

JSngry Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 You know, I'm looking at the Turrentine, and it's only 80 bucks. Didn't realize there were previously unissued materials involved, not many, but a few. That might be a deal maker for me. Besides, this will put us all one step closer to that Bill Barron set that Cuscuna's surely gonna come out of semi-retirement to drive home to the finish line, one last triumph for unambiguously post-swing Mosaic sets, you go Michael Cuscuna, you GO!

For your sake (and for the sake of a good friend who's a Barron fan and who played with him once), I hope that the Barron set does happen. Quote
JSngry Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 Well, so far it's only happening here on the O-Board, but you know, tell a lie long enough and it becomes the truth... And really, that's a set that should happen. Seriously. Quote

David Ayers Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Can’t wait for the Barron. Will it include the unissued date with Don Cherry? Quote
Clunky Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 I'd love a Barron set despite having plenty of the likely contents on vinyl Quote
Ken Dryden Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 I was notified that a Mosaic order shipped yesterday. If you can't attend the open house that is coming soon, ask about getting a partial list of what they have available. Michael Cuscuna read my post here and emailed me a list, which I greatly appreciate. I guess that the Teddy Wilson is en route. Quote

felser Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 You think that Mobley set took a long time to sell out? Consider how long a Bill Barron issued in this post-CD era would take to sell 5,000 copies (though I'd pre-order it). Quote
Ken Dryden Posted March 16, 2018 Report Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I received my order from the upcoming open house sale. The Woody Shaw CBS set, which I had neglected to buy. Hope to listen to it this weekend after I finish transcribing and editing my interview with Jim McNeely. Edited March 17, 2018 by Ken Dryden Quote

If you don't/can't get a copy of the Woody Shaw CBS set, I've got one I'd be glad to send you (in excellent shape). I don't have a specific price in mind, but I would donate EVERY penny directly to Jim for running this board (you can pay him (the board) directly). So while I might haggle to at least get something reasonable for it -- it wouldn't be for my own benefit -- only the benefit of the Big O Board (and I'll even throw in the cost of shipping myself).
