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.
-
I wont buy any of these - have them as TOCJ (Chambers - good one, in my opinion!), Conn (Quebec & Davis), part of a Mosaic (Morgan) and the Jordan I have from an Italian Blue Note Magazine issue. That Jordan is a hell of a fine album, by the way! Dizzy Reece is great on it, as is Stanley Turrentine!
Still a rather underwhelming bunch, to me...
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.

The Heavyweight Champion. Love that set. The discs are nicely contained in sturdy digipaks, the booklet is easy to read and well constructed, plus there's the cool tape reel box for the bonus disc. It's nice to handle a set that doesn't seem fragile, one that's actually USABLE and a booklet you can read, unlike the Miles metal boxes.
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.

To me it's a very disappointing list. Although there are great titles, I have them all happily on JRVG's, for the first time, I have zero to purchase from these - and since I'm a loyal diehard, that must surely spell trouble for BN as there are likely lots of other regulars in the same boat.
Too bad, IMO it's a missed opportunity - there are still lots of great titles not yet given the RVG treatment in Japan either - Elvin Jones, Bobby Hutcherson, Ornette, later Turrentine, Tyner, Rivers and many others.
And since I won't be buying - and I'm sure others who already have RVG's of these - that doesn't help get to the numbers needed to continue the series.
Cuscuna has broken the cardinal rule of the RVG series in the last several years - always have some titles never before RVG'd.
Oh well - thankfully the Prestige RVG series is continuing with lots of great stuff given RVG's sound for the first time!
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.

PM returned, and thanks!

I posted about my most recent Mosaic listening experience on my blog:
-
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.

Jimmy Smith - At the Organ, Volume 3
Mosaic Free Shipping
in Mosaic and other box sets...

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.
