Dan Gould Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 the Joe Newman is pretty nice, Oliver Nelson is the other horn if memory serves. Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 The Basie Verve box is a Mosaic, correct? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Sittin' In is a masterpiece and Sweets (with Ben Webster) is not far behind. Beyond that I am looking forward to the Al Cohn side. Quote
RDK Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Posted March 22, 2005 The Basie Verve box is a Mosaic, correct? This was from the Verve website, so I suspect it's not a Mosaic. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 The Basie Verve box is a Mosaic, correct? This was from the Verve website, so I suspect it's not a Mosaic. The recent Mosaic/Universal deal had each outfit selling some sets. Quote
Christiern Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 The recent Mosaic/Universal deal had each outfit selling some sets. But puttiing out the exact same material, a month apart (Mosaic's box is due in April) does not make any sense (from a marketing point), does it? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 But puttiing out the exact same material, a month apart (Mosaic's box is due in April) does not make any sense (from a marketing point), does it? Not my problem. Quote
Christiern Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Nor mine, but I can't believe that Mosaic would license material that is about to be released by the licensee. Conversely, I find it difficult to believe that Verve would give Mosaic a license to issue something they are about to reissue themselves. Deduction: We must be talking about the Mosaic set. B-) Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Mosaic's deal with Uni is Mosaic produces the set and allows Uni "x number of sets" for sale through "regular" channels. That or nuthin'. Quote
Christiern Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 But that's not under the Verve label, is it? Quote
Alec Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 you didn't mention this one that I'm looking forward to: 6/28/05 Sammy Davis Jr. and Carmen McRae - Boy Meets Girl: The Complete Sammy Davis Jr. and Carmen McRae on Decca - Reissue - Verve Records Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 I think that's how they are marketed to the retail outlets. Quote
Brad Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Still nothing about Basie on the Mosaic site. It's not unusual for companies to share sales in different spheres (sometimes U.S. sales v. International, for example) so some sharing here wouldn't be that atypical. Quote
Ron S Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 That's exactly what happened with the Tal Farlow set, which is why you can get the identical set--except that the spine of the outer box doesn't say "Mosaic" and has a different number--in the US for less than half what Mosaic is charging.

Stefan Wood Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 The Pharoah Sanders and Michael White discs are very nice. But there are other more interesting things they should be reissuing, like Yusef Lateef. Quote
David Ayers Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 The Pharoah Sanders and Michael White discs are very nice. But there are other more interesting things they should be reissuing, like Yusef Lateef. But they ARE reissuing Yusef Lateef... Quote
jazzbo Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 But they need to reissue an INTERESTING one. . . Quote
couw Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 yeah! everyone knows that Psychisemotus sux! Quote
king ubu Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 yeah! everyone knows that Psychisemotus sux! I don't know it, but yeah, sucks big time! Quote
jazzbo Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 For me, it's not that it sucks. It's awful damned funny. But it is less "interesting" than the Impulses and (partly because) it has been out on cd a few times (or at least once, from Japan). Quote
king ubu Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Lookie here, everybody, just in my mailbox: UPCOMING RELEASE The Complete Clef/Verve Count Basie Fifties Studio Recordings When Basie reformed his big band in the 1950s, he managed to become entirely new by sticking with what had made him great from the start. And in the process, Basie achieved some of the most extraordinary success of his career. He employed the era's best composers and arrangers, and they left their mark not only on the orchestra but on musical history as well. A new breed of soloists became stand-outs in what was known as "The New Testament" band. Names such as Joe Newman, Paul Quinichette, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Joe Wilder, Frank Wess, Frank Foster, Thad Jones, and Sonny Payne became known during their tenure with Basie. Another name that became a household word thanks to his association with Count Basie is the inimitable Joe Williams. The original reel to reel tapes were the source for most of this release which contains 146 tracks on eight CDs, including seven previously-unreleased recordings and three alternates not in the vaults at Universal Music. This set is scheduled for release in mid-late April and is posted on the website and available for preorder. #229- 8 CDs - $136.00 WHOAAAA! Quote
king ubu Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 forgot to mention: sent by Mosaic Records... Quote
couw Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 For me, it's not that it sucks. It's awful damned funny. But it is less "interesting" than the Impulses and (partly because) it has been out on cd a few times (or at least once, from Japan). 1984 is available as download I believe. Anyhow, let's just hope the release of Psychisemotus is just the start and that they will eventually release them all. Quote
