Grant Green Mosaic


Recommended Posts

I'm kinda thinking some of the eBay/Mosaic high-priced sales are a thing of the past. People seem to know, these days, that a lot of Mosaic OOP sets can be regulary found on eBay. Why pay the higher price today when you can probably find the same set at a lower price next week? You know?

That would have bothered me back when I first started buying Mosaics, but now that I know they aren't going anywhere anyway, I don't mind. For a while there, the Lee Morgan was getting high enough that I was actually tempted to sell. Fortunately, I just couldn't pull the trigger...

Could somebody tell me which albums are on the Complete Green...Clark set? Are they all available? I have tried to buy this Mosaic set on ebay but it is one of those sets that always go for ridiculous prices. :ph34r: Thanks.

I missed out on the set... So help me out here - .when I bought the 2CD Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark... what am I missing from the Mosaic box is 2 cds' covering what???? (and have those been issued as single cd's?)

Because the 1961 session is split over the two discs on the Complete Quartets release, you only miss one disk, Born to be Blue, which features the tracks with Ike Quebec. The two tunes with Patato are limited to the Mosaic set only.

That is amazing then! $10 for the 2 CD The Complete .... + $18 for 'Born to be Blue'. I can't believe that some people are prepared to spend $350 for the Mosaic set on ebay then! (There is one on ebay on $317 with three days to go!) :blink: What is wrong with these people? There must be some Mosaic fetichists out there! Maybe some of the black boxes are made of leather!

I used to own the 2 CD "complete" Grant Green w/ Sonny Clark set which has most of the tracks on the Mosaic, but I got the Mosais off ebay anyway and sold the 2 CD set. The Mosaic does sound significantly better- less harsh, smoother, a much more pleasant listen. And yes I love the packaging. But I didn't pay $350 for it.
