Face of the Bass

So if you get a 7-disc set you might save a little less than 10 percent on your total order. What Mosaic needs to do is have a massive "Everything Must Go Sale" in which I can get 60 percent off everything in stock.

I just ordered the Dexter Gordon Select...which I am very much looking forward to hearing.

PM sent on the Teddy Edwards.

I've been systematically going through trying to pick up every Paul Chambers session I don't already have. I have all the Chambers Riversides now, and most of the Prestiges, but there are still a few I need to get.

The only ones I have from this bunch are Bass on Top and Morgan Vol. 3. This is the most exciting RVG batch since I started buying them about three years ago.

All cds are $6, shipping included. Please inquire about international rates. All payments by Paypal. PM if interested.

I know some people don't like them, but I love the packaging of the Columbia Miles Davis box sets. I find it easy to get to the disks and the booklet, and like that they always stay together. The kind I most dislike are the Mosaics that are unnecessarily large and bulky.

Speak for yourself. In the last few batches I've only found one or two that interested me, but almost all of these interest me because I've been waiting for them to be remastered domestically. The only one I have is Bass on Top. I'm very, very happy with this list.

On hold.

Excellent condition. $30 to buy or make an offer. PM if interested.

PM sent. PM returned, and thanks!

I have an excellent condition Hutcherson Mosaic Select available for sale or for trade. $30 postpaid to the U.S. or make me an offer. Will do a swap of Mosaic Selects if there's something you have available. Paypal only if you decide to buy.

I posted about my most recent Mosaic listening experience on my blog: foucaultslunchbox.blogspot.com

Up. This is still available if anyone is interested.

Just sent a response.

Up. I will take the best offer, and will also consider parting with it for cash.

All materials (discs, inserts, box, booklet, etc.) in like new condition. Looking for other Mosaic sets in return, or other stuff of interest. I will automatically do a trade with the first person who can offer me an excellent-condition copy of the Stanley Turrentine box AND a good copy and translation of Martin Heidegger's Being and Time.

Beiderbecke, Trumbauer, and Teagarden, Disc 1. The vocals are annoying.

Today I made a Mosaic purchase that I believe will forever change my life. I bought the Django Reinhardt set, and by early next week I will be sitting back, pretending I am listening to it in a smoky Paris cafe while reading Sartre.

I always liked The P.C. Blues.

I'm thinking about getting the Stanley Turrentine.

Exceeded expectations: Alice Coltrane - Journey in Sachidinanda Lee Morgan - Lee Way Jimmy Smith - Groovin' at Smalls Paradise Grant Green - Idle Moments (I heard it was special, but now I'd say it was one of the greatest jazz albums ever made) Ike Quebec - Blue and Sentimental Evan Parker - Topography of the Lungs Max Roach Mosaic

I have this set and would say it's definitely not essential music, and if someone isn't a real huge Coltrane fan they have no reason to need it. I would return it if I were in your position. As for me, I have my Coltrane phases. December tends to be my Coltrane month, when that's all I want to listen to (and I prefer the later Coltrane.) During the summer I never listen to Coltrane.

People in a position to know are confirming this. Chris Albertson says it is true over at All About Jazz, and Lois Gilbert says it is true over at JazzCorner. Haven't heard any details, though.
