ghost of miles Posted April 19, 2003 Report Posted April 19, 2003 Does anybody have inside info on Mosaic's current and seemingly-improving relations with Universal? There are now two sets of Universal-licensed material in the pipeline: the Mulligan Concert Band set and the Roy Eldridge. Might there be reason to re-awaken my dormant hopes for the Complete Keynote collection? If Universal is indeed re-admitting Mosaic to their vaults (even if only on a sporadic basis), there goes the family farm--Ma & Pa can damn well move into subsidized housing! Quote
Out2Lunch Posted April 19, 2003 Report Posted April 19, 2003 I don't have any inside info, but that Keynote set has been a dream of mine as well. Maybe if someone at Mosaic is snooping over here.................................................. Quote
ghost of miles Posted April 19, 2003 Author Report Posted April 19, 2003 I reckon Mr. Bresnehan's our best source on this matter... Just glad that the logjam seems to have finally broken. Quote
Matthew Posted April 19, 2003 Report Posted April 19, 2003 (edited) I would be all over a Mosaic Keynote like stink on ..... stuff. It's a 21 lp set, which would come down to about 15 cds. Down side: cost at $17.00 per = $255.00. Still, it would be worth the money -- I hope. PS: The set is on ebay CLICK HERE Edited April 19, 2003 by Matthew Quote

Keynote label was originally promoted by Eric Bernay in 1940. Then in 1943, a legendary producer Harry Lim started Jazz recordings. Since then, for a short period until 1947, Harry recorded too many historical, legendary, and awesome Jazz recordings. Such legendary recordings were made by Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Red Norvo, Teddy Wilson, all of whom were too popular and established at that time. However on the other hand, Harry Lim gave many chances for leader sessions, to fine underappreciated musicians and to so-called "studio musicians" - Joe Thomas, Milt Hinton, Jonah Jones, Charlie Shavers, Corky Corcoran, Willie Smith, Red Rodney, Babe Russin, Lennie Tristano, et al. - And all of the recordings are nothing but great.

jazzbo Posted April 20, 2003 Report Posted April 20, 2003 I think there is even more stuff potentially on Keynote than was released on the lp set. . . . IT would make a great Mosaic, here's hoping. I'd like to see them do a Lee Konitz Verve box. . . there are many unreleased sessions that look as if they would be great listening! Quote
Parkertown Posted April 20, 2003 Report Posted April 20, 2003 Hey Lon! Your avatar looks just like the Keynote LP Box! Was that intentional? Or based on something else? Quote
Roger Hiles Posted April 20, 2003 Report Posted April 20, 2003 In case someone at Mosaic is counting... One more customer for a Keynote set! Quote
jazzbo Posted April 20, 2003 Report Posted April 20, 2003 It's just a coincidence PT. I searched for an image to use for "Jazzbo" and was hoping I would find a nice little image of the old cast iron banjo-playin' figure, but found this instead and kindof felt it was a good one to use for a while. . . .
