Alfred Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Scott Wenzel will also be there. This came with a MOSAIC eMail today: 34th ANNUAL JAZZ RECORD BASH Attention Record Collector's: This event will take place Friday June 24th and Saturday June 25th 2005. Record sales & schmoozing both days and our own Scott Wenzel will be manning a table at the fair. This will take place at the Holiday Inn, 4701 Stelton Road, South Plainfield, NJ 07080. For directions call 908-753-5500 or Email: hispnj1@aol.com Quote
Stereojack Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Anyone else planning on being there? ← I've attended this bash every year since 1978 - through four different promoters, three different locations. I wouldn't miss it, and I'll be there again this year. Quote
jazztrain Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Anyone else planning on being there? ← Me too. Been going for about 20 years. Looking forward to seeing old friends. Quote
Stereojack Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 when is it? ← June 24-25 Holiday Inn 4701 Stelton Road South Plainfield, NJ Quote
Christiern Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 I haven't been to one of those in many years. Collectors are great, they help to preserve the music I love, but get a large group of them together and you might think you're in a nut house! That said, I'm sure record collectors are no different from other's who suffer from the must-have itch. I was kinda sorta like that almost 60 years ago when I first started scouring Copenhagen second-hand shops for tantalizing 78s. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 I hope to be there Friday morning. I'll be driving a 5 litre Mustang pimpmobile so I have the wheels to get to the location.. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) Quick post-return update. I made the 'bash' on the Friday morning. Scott of Mosaic was there with a nice stall selling 'promo' Mosaics at 20% discount and some regular sets (including Selects) at 10% discount. There was also a nice selection of partial OOP sets at $5 per CD. Most of the stalls were dealers of 78s and it looked to be 'de rigeur' to bring along your portable turntable to check out the shellac before purchase. Some amazing stuff by the look of it but not really my particular scene. Joe from Euclid was also there with several boxes of modern jazz goodies from his store. Chatting with Scott he confirmed that Mosaic are looking to bring out a 1-LP 'set' of this new Coltrane/Monk material, to coincide with a forthcoming CD ( ). By all accounts it would also seem that the late 'run' of sales on the Byrd /Adams set also took everyone by suprise up in Stamford. As for the journey, the drive in the pimpmobile was quite 'exciting'. Edited June 27, 2005 by sidewinder Quote
Stereojack Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 Attendance of dealers and customers was off somewhat this year. Two longtime regulars, Red Carraro and Lloyd Rausch were missing, both due to illness I was told. Still, I managed to pick up three Mosaic sets at a discount, a few LP's and about a dozen 78's. Mainly I go for the hang at this point. It's a lot of the same people every year, and I like to hobnob with the fellow record mutants. Quote
Dmitry Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Posted February 20, 2017 Just want to remind ya'll that a dozen years have zipped by now since I started this thread. Yet the JAZZ RECORD BASH is still ongoing. http://jazzbash.net/ Some old souls are no longer with us, but the music lives on. Will try to attend this summer. It's been a long while... Quote
sidewinder Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Wow -was it really 2005 that I was last there? Time flies.. In the interim, that Monk/Coltrane LP that Scott told me about has been and gone. Edited February 20, 2017 by sidewinder Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Somebody please check up on what happened to the green vinyl rvg stamped copy of Jimmy Smith- Midnight Special from the 2nd or 3rd annual show Quote
Dmitry Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Posted February 23, 2017 OK, I'll bite. What happened? Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 well i just wanna know the whereabouts, what happened to it. it ended up on ebay at one pt i think. its the real deal and very strange Quote
Brad Posted June 24, 2017 Report Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) It's this weekend, but now in Edison. Edited June 24, 2017 by Brad Quote
Brad Posted June 24, 2017 Report Posted June 24, 2017 I went today for the first time. Obviously, a lot of vinyl but some CDs. Scott was there from Mosaic. He had some OOP Mosaics but also a lot of partials, many of which came with a book and box, at great prices. Picked up a partial Oscar Peterson. Only missing two discs. Quote
Stereojack Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 I attended again this year. There are always plenty of records, and this year Dave Weiner, who programs the jazz films on Friday night, outdid himself. Didn't stay for Ron Hutchinson's Vitaphone presentation on Saturday, but Ron always comes up with a few goodies. Quote
jazztrain Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 The new location was nicer than the most recent previous one. The film program on Friday was excellent! As always, it was good to see old friends. Quote
Brad Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 The Jazz Bash this year is June 21-22 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Edison, NJ. See https://jazzbash.net/ Quote

Maybe a show that Friday or Saturday night in one of NY's clubs? Edited May 13, 2019 by Dmitry Quote
jazztrain Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Headed down later this morning. See some of you there perhaps. Quote
Brad Posted June 17, 2023 Report Posted June 17, 2023 The Jazz Bash is back! Next Thursday through Saturday at the Hilton Garden Inn in Raritan, NJ Scott from Mosaic will be there. http://jazzbash.net Quote
Dmitry Posted June 17, 2023 Author Report Posted June 17, 2023 Wish I knew sooner...they haven't updated their FB page since 2019. I follow it, but it's been bupkis. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100079442233596 Quote
Dmitry Posted June 24, 2023 Author Report Posted June 24, 2023 Brad, and others, if you are going, can you take photos? When I went there almost 20 years ago, the event was very well attended. And yes, the Mosaic folks were there, selling partial sets and other things. Would really like to go there next year! Quote
