Have about 100, 70% of which are Duke, Artie Shaw, Louis and Fletcher Henderson discs. Gonna add a half dozen more when the more recent Bechet discs arrive.

It should be about 14+ Euros (can't get the US$ pricing). Great deal on the Habanero set since I got that elsewhere for about 40% more.

Got this set at a Tower.com discount 6 months back and still haven't opened it. Guess it's time to do so to make sure there are no defective discs. Here's an AMG review of the set. Another one right here at another jazz site. Btw, this set can be obtained from the Amazon marketplace for under $100.

Fresh Sound is having a 20% sale right now on all their Afro-Cuban titles (Tumbao). Single discs are 7.84 Euros or US$9.32. Box sets are a little cheaper in aggregate. Gonna grab myself some Arsenio Rodriguez and Orquesta Casino de la Playa discs. B-)

Yep. All I need now is to get the 2 cd set which contains the albums "Over and Over Again" and "Live at the Roosevelt Grill" to have a complete or at least a comprehensive set of masters/recordings made by Wilbur on Atlantic.

If cash is not an issue, then would recommend this set. Great booklet and sound quality, issues the complete Savoy and Dial studio sessions...essential music. Then this one... And the Verve box... B-)

Just received ...to fulfill yet more cravings for N.O jazz.

Yes. Another big thumbs up for the set. Like the Eddie Lockjaw session a fair bit too.

EKE, you may want to check out this online store. May not be the cheapest though. Watch out for their selective daily SOS sale, which has not hit too many titles of late. You may just get a title or two you want even cheaper than the average $16.15 pricing.

Have stacks of discs from this label and never even bothered to look at the label spelling. Here's another site with a list of Classics releases by CD number (also a list of Neatworks with track listings). Seems fairly updated.

Why not the man in your avatar??

Several smallish red ants (by accident) - much more pungent than any wasabi or hot mustard I've ever eaten. Boiled chicken feet & pig intestines.

Probably in the region of 1600-1700. Would have surpassed 2000 if not for a depreciated currency vis the $US. About 10% of these are still in their plastic wrap. I probably have too many but the want, no, need list keeps growing. :rsly:

Just sorted out a big stack of discs over the weekend to make way for yet more new ones and found 5-6 duplicates.

At a Tower Records relocation sale Kenny Dorham - Una Mas Cannonball Adderley - Sophisticated Swing Duke - Live at the Blue Note Hawk - Wrapped Tight, Today and Now

Hot and hazy (pollution!) - not good conditions for outdoor activity.

This makes for a total of EIGHT unopened Mosaics from three months ago? Yes and make that 11 or 12, all from this year - which is why I've stopped ordering, at least until a good part of next year (I hope), when I should have had the chance to listen to the music and read the booklets.

Agreed Wesbed, except for the postage costs. My situation is even worse though. The last 2 Mosaic orders 3 months back contained 4 box sets each and I've not even opened a single one of them. This never happened when I ordered only 1 or 2 sets at a time.

Jackie McLean - Action (RVG) ~ another copy-controlled disc, but since it's one of the cheapest jazz CDs I've come across in the past 5 years and great album to boot...

Great news! but this is the scary part...

One of the greatest tenor sax players to ever walk the earth. My spirits are always uplifted when hearing Pres' music. What better way to spend the coming weekend than listening to the music from his Basie days right up to his Verve recordings.

Many happy returns!! Sounds cliched - but a Wayne Shorter album or two or three in the disc player this evening would be in order.

The Organissimo BB was mentioned in various threads at the AAJ BB, so out of curiosity I dropped by, found it very interesting and informative and decided to sign up and post once in a while.

Just realised I haven't touched any Mosaic's for about 5+ weeks now. Too much of a good thing?
