"Let 'em Roll" will not be included in the set, per the email I received from Mosaic (although, it wouldn't have bothered me - that's my favorite Patton session )

My tastes are relatively diverse. Here's a taste of what I've listened to in the last week: Gerald Wilson Lionel Hampton Dizzy Gillespie Archie Shepp Megadeth Metallica Beastie Boys Bee Gees KC and the Sunshine Band Minor Threat Slayer Morbid Angel Atheist Beck Dr. Dre Hank Mobley Herbie Hancock Miles Davis Lee Morgan June Christy Korn Fear Factory Soulfly Sinch Queensryche Grant Green ...and on and on and on. I love variety - I've got music for just about every possible mood, and can listen at almost any time. What more could a guy want?

Right now: MINOR THREAT - COMPLETE DISCOGRAPHY Anyone here like these guys? I was never much into punk, but this music has always entertained me quite a bit.

I just got "Attica Blues" and think it sounds incredible. Is there something different about the way this particular album was recorded, as compared to other jazz albums from the period? There is more depth and space to this recording than any music from any genre I've heard from the 60's/70's...

Listening to some stuff I just got: Steve Kuhn - October Suite Byrd-Gryce Jazz Lab/Cecil Taylor - Live at Newport Archie Shepp - Four for Trane Bill Perkins - On Stage with Octet Jimmy Smith - Crazy Baby Three Sounds - Live at the Lighthouse Gerry Mulligan-Paul Desmond Quartet

I just emailed Mosaic about this set. I'm very interested in this one as well. I remember reading a thread related to this in the old days, and I don't recall "Let 'em Roll" or "Steppin' Out" ever being mentioned as being in the set. I could be wrong, however. Either way, hopefully Mosaic will reply to my email and give me all the details. I'll post the reply here when I get it.

Up - any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a normal office job (8:30-5), and thus can sleep normal hours too. I go to bed between 10-11pm and wake up between 5-6am. I used to wake up between 3-4:30pm, but then I went on a diet and have been able to sleep normally ever since starting. It's strange, and definitely not something I was expecting, but I'll take it. Keeping this normal schedule does have its downside, however - I am completely incapable of sleeping in. I don't remember the last time I woke up later than 7:30am, no matter what time I went to bed or what day of the week it was. Those of you able to sleep until noon, I envy you. My hours don't affect my music listening, which is nice. My wife watches a ton of TV and I don't care for most of the programs she likes, so that's a nice excuse to go to my at-home office and turn the music up loud. I get to listen to music at work all day long, and then am usually able to get in a few hours of music + computer before I go to bed too. Not bad!

This morning: Stanley Turrentine - Mr. Natural Sonny Stitt - Mosaic (Disc 4) Sam Rivers - Dimensions and Extensions All from Mosaics!

I just finished "1984" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I just started reading "Siddhartha," by Herman Hesse. Should be a quick read (and hopefully more enjoyable than when I had to read it in high school. )

Kenny, how could you say that??? "This CD represents the entirety of (Stefon's) being expressed through the idiom of music."

However, if the Smarts in any way insinuated that it was because they prayed a lot that Elizabeth was found, and that other missing children who are not found are not found because of the lack of prayer, then yes, I would agree that is very insensitive. vibes, I don't think the Smarts are insinuating. You're right, ofcourse - they're so absorbed in religion, they're pretty much thinking of only themselves. My problem is, I don't see how else it can be interpreted. When they say their daughter was returned (by god) because of their faith and power of prayer, the obvious question is raised, Why didn't god save the kidnapped child who was murdered? Faith not strong enough. Prayer not good enough. They would, no doubt, say that god "had a plan". Ugh

vibes, I'm also an atheist but I want you to know that my intention was not to slam Mormans. I've probably interrpreted a lot of what I've been hearing incorrectly. I do, however, agree with those who object to the "power of prayer" mantra. If nothing else, I think they're being terribly insensitive to those who have been far less fortunate under similar circumstances. The Smarts and their daughter Elizabeth were very, very lucky, indeed.

I heard an excerpt from this album on a Verve Lionel Hampton/Oscar Peterson comp, and would love to hear the rest of the album. According to AMG, it's never been out on CD. Can anyone help me out with a burn of this? I don't have any LP's, but could return the favor with a burn of an OOP Mosaic or something. Send me a PM if you can help. Thanks!

This has always been my biggest problem with the Verve digipacks as well. I guess I don't mind the packaging as much because I make mp3's of everything I buy, and then just listen to those. However, I hate grabbing a CD and having the CD fall out when I open the digipack.

Being raised Mormon, I've been waiting for all the dogma to come in and it's been surprisingly light, believe it or not. Maybe I'm just getting my news from the wrong sources. Anyway, nothing I've heard in the news or read online has been anything other than what I would expect from any strong Christian family.

I listen about 12-15 hours a day. At work, at home, wherever. Jazz is the preferred music, but I find that I don't like listening to it in the car as much. For some reason, whenever jazz is on I think I hear police sirens. So, I usually listen to rock or metal of some kind in the car. Also keep some rap in there, like Dr. Dre. Right now I'm listening to the Metallica black album. After this, who knows? Probably jazz.

Is this real?? It's almost more comical than anything else. Reminds me of the character (played by Damon Wayans?) from "In Living Color" who was so "verboticular in his speechulary". It's real, alright. Strange that it would be mentioned here. I was listening to it yesterday morning.

Anyone been able to access the Mosaic website today? I haven't been able to access it at all...been trying since late afternoon. I wonder if this is somehow connected to the BNBB...unlikely, but I guess anything's possible these days.

There is an RCA set that has almost all the material in the Mosaic. I believe it contains one session not in the Mosaic. Seeing how expensive the Mosaic was, I went for the RCA set. The music really is beautiful. Paul Desmond and Jim Hall were a great match for each other. The "Glad to be Unhappy" session is by far my favorite. One of my favorite box sets.

I decided to put stuff I don't listen to very often on the playlist today: Jackie McLean - Bluesnik Hank Mobley - Peckin' Time Lou Donaldson - The Natural Soul John Patton - The Way I Feel Larry Young - Lawrence of Newark Lee Konitz - Motion Horace Silver - Finger Poppin' Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder Kenny Burrell - Introducing (Conn) Joe Henderson - Page One Jimmy Smith - Midnight Special Herbie Hancock - My Point of View Harold Land - West Coast Blues I got through all of that at the office today...I can't help but feel blessed that I have a job that allows me to listen to so much music every day.

Welcome, Chuck! Hope this board treats you a little better than AAJ.

I just bought "Terra Brasilis." It's taking a little getting used to, only for the vocals. The music is wonderful, as it has been with all the other Jobim albums I've heard. I don't know why, but Jobim's singing reminds me of Frank Sinatra. My favorite Jobim albums are "Wave" and "Stone Flower." "The Composer of..." and "Tide" are also great. I'm always open to new Jobim suggestions, and suggestions for any type of Brazilian music for that matter.

I'm impressed! What are you studying?
