Whole batch of Mosaic Selects and Singles running low
king ubu replied to miles65's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Indeed! -
Making a re-appearance in January, it seems: some discussion of contents in a comment here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00303WQMO/ref=pe_228771_42020801_pe_epc__1p_2_ti hope they'll include that booklet again! but then at that price ... http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00303WQMO/

Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?
king ubu replied to Cliff Englewood's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
there you go: -
Thought so, but wasn't 100% sure - thanks for confirming! Dean was on the Bridgewater part of the "Bremen to Bridgewater", rec. 1975 ... he might be on other stuff circulating from 1975, and he seems to be on the Moers 1976 concert.

Who's the additional alto player on the photo on the back, there's Dudu facing the camera and an alto on each of his sides, both, uhm, palefaces (beardy times, huh?) ... Mike Osborne to the left, and to the right, Elton Dean? So this photo is from another concert?
-
At the risk of igniting another storm I don't want .... have you read the Baldwin piece linked above, freelancer? I think that could help ...
-
Okay, that's about what I'd have expected, the "öö" I mean, so the "i" is more a slight colouring than it's actually being pronounced.
-
AT rushes time pretty often ... play "Tenor Conclave", go back the beginning of a track once you've reached the end and you'll find the tempo much slower! Not saying AT wasn't a good drummer, of course, but his time wasn't that excellent, it seems. Not sure if it got better, I don't usually pay too much attention. But in the end he's not one of my favourite drummers of that era.
-
Then why don't they exchange the "o" and the "i"? As it reads, it would be "shiop fa", wouldn't it?
-
Not sure if I'm saying something wrong ... don't know how the Vogue kicks in (I think Vogue and Swing belong together, don't you have massive overlap there?) ... but the Jazz in Paris discs have no overlap with the Mosaic, if I remember right. And some of them are glorious! This here might help: http://www.gould68.freeserve.co.uk/django.htm

Not to be linky-dinked (though I wonder if that policy has been losened a bit?), but there's this one: from the allmusic review (by "arwulf arwulf"):

Anyone getting the Van Morrison "Moondance" Box set?
king ubu replied to jazzkrow's topic in New Releases
33 € at amazon.it gave in an ordered now ... -
Oh, I love those Dickie Wells sesssions! And I love Django ... saw that Vogue box, too, but since indeed I eventually had to go for the three Fremeaux "season" sets, I figured I'm all set regarding Django
-
It still is, just wish there were less
-
I got mine for a bit more than 40€ in summer (and I think I posted a link back then, too) ... had been eyeing it for months ... but I'm still not sure it's worth getting ... have probably played around 20 discs (and have heard some before, the very good Haydn symphonies by Tafelmusik for instance, there I got the recent cheapo seven disc set). Some of it, I found pretty plodding, prodding, heavy-handed ... guess I don't "get" van Immerseel, really ... but then some of it is very good (the Boccherini discs by Bylsma come to mind, also other stuff by Tafelmusik).

Guess I'm right on the way to there! Started with the solo materials (still haven't played the Liszt disc and that rarities disc and the DVD), but the Schubert (and also the Schumann, not much, alas) is great!
-
I've recently enjoyed a lot what Schubert there is in the big Decca box by Clifford Curzon though! That's some heavy stuff there ... but it comes from a rather different place than Kempff, I think (more like the Schnabel line, if I dare mention that name again).
-
Can't really imagine Kempff doing Schubert ... not able to say why, but I can't see his style being fitting too well (and that's not against Kempff at all, I've got a variety of recordings of his, solo, concertos, also some chamber, and love most of them).
-
Ha, one of the questions is: which train wreck do some nerds think could be kick started? Jim A. and Rolf (son-of-a-weizen) are the only ones who can get rid of spammers and Rolf hasn't been around for months now, while Jim is probably touring. The mods can only delete the messages and they are MIA. Has MG handed in his mod-rights? Guess the merikins are all busy binge-shopping over the whole weekend ... just in case, instead of turducken, next time they could try a stuffed camel:
-
okay, thanks!
-
Same here ... kept every fifth or tenth, plus some early ones I got from brownie. Guess I'll hang on the ones I've not trashed so far (but they're lost amongst other stuff). Got the new one today as well.
-
Oh, I'd love that idea! Even if it was just an italian "Complete Sims Pablo Albums" box - it's not PD yet, but I guess the existing remasterings would be fine, so not much work to be done (and they did Lee Konitz Milestone, too - not PD either).

Brits take a crack at US geography

Why does it have the colour of a pig? -
Guess I'll want this, too. Whom can I send the bill?
