dsgtrane Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 (edited) I got the new disc 7 today AND new front tray liner for discs 3 & 4 that includes discography info for session F. I received both today as well. Hadn't realized there was a problem as I haven't gotten to the set yet. Received the replacements and quickly checked this thread to determine why.

ghost of miles Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 This is such a wonderful set!! Went right to near the top of my favorites list after the first listen. What really moved me was those Golson quartet sessions. Some absolutely heart-wrenching playing on these sides. Its really something how once you think you know about an artist, you'll discover something new that shows you never really knew thier work. Beautiful stuff. Yes, I have the old Chess CD copy of FREE, but I'd never heard TURNING POINT before, and it's gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'll be ordering this set in the UK when a release date is announced, but I am uneasy about the faulty disk and replacement insert issues - I hope the export copies were corrected before they were despatched.

Ed S Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) Interesting..... When I saw on this thread that CD Universe had this set listed for $91, I put in an order just to see what would happen. I received a couple of order updates telling me that the set was backordered and fully expected that the order would get cancelled some time in the future in accordance with their policy. Yesterday, I received an update that says the set will be available for shipping on October 18. When I use the link to the set, they do have it as available on the 18th, but with a price of $130. It also notes that the set is from Germany. Does anyone know if this set is set for European release on the 18th? I'm guessing that is,as it appears that my order will be filled. As far as pricing, my open order still has the $91 price so I wonder if they will honor that. I think I will email them to find out.

David Ayers Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 amazon.de states 12 october release date, amazon.co.uk hasn't listed it yet (I asked them and they don't have info on it yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally went that route too.....but after a series of unenthusiastic e-mails from them, I cancelled and picked up the Miles box instead. I wonder if those CDUNI sets will have the 'bum' disc in 'em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I wonder if those CDUNI sets will have the 'bum' disc in 'em? Indeed. And who will provide the customer support for these Euro-Mosaics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 (edited) From Mosaic today, in answer to my questions about the bad disc and replacement thereof: We advised Verve of the issue and as far as we know, there should be no problem.

montg Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I picked this up a few weeks ago and I'm totally amazed at how wonderful this set is. Art Farmer cooks throughout--based on my limited knowledge, I always assumed he was pretty mellow (maybe it was the flugelhorn and its connotations)...anyway, he's a true hard bopper--a lot of heat. Golson's arrangements And...top notch sound from Malcolm Addey (Addey's remastering of 'Here and Now', for instance, easily bests the Verve Elite edition from a few years ago). I'm only through the first three discs, so plenty more to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjazz Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 I ordered this set from Mosaic in late October and it seems to have all the replacements. (since we're keeping an eye on production controll ) Numbered in the 700's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryan Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Anyone else care to comment on the musical content of this set? Out of the 90 or so responses to this thread, about 5% have to do with the actual music. Who really cares what number set you got? Most people, I'd like to think, buy the sets for the music itself. Not having heard any of this material, myself, I'd like to hear some further opinions regarding the tunes, arrangements, solos, etc. Thanks in advance.

Ed S Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 The music is Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous. No doubt about it - this is a must have set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Wow - if you've *never* heard any of this music, you are in for a real treat. The Jazztet had a beautiful blend of wonderful composition and arranging from Golson (and John Lewis for one album), and a real group concept, not at all just a string of solos by interchangeable players. Not to say that there weren't strong soloists - Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, McCoy Tyner, Cedar Walton, Grachan Moncur, Harold Mabern - man, everyone who went through the band. This is a set that many of us lobbied for and patiently (or not so patiently) awaited. Now that it's here (and with the fixed disc), and includes not only the Jazztet albums, but ALSO the Golson and Farmer solo records (each of which has its own special personality), it is not to be missed. You get the esoteric (some of those John Lewis things are out!) and the funky - I mean, Killer Joe, the *original* Killer Joe - with those memorable solos; the great version of I Remember Clifford; so many of the other beautiful Golson pieces (Out Of The Past, Park Avenue Petite, Blues March, Five Spot After Dark, Whisper Not, Along Came Betty, etc.) plus standards, compositions by other band members, a great mix. Look, do you like hard bop? If so, do not hesitate on this. This band is right at the top of the heap. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertblues Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 What Mike said! This is an essential purchase if you dig hard bop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I had heard none of this material prior to getting the set and it truly was a treat. Made me wonder how I could have gone so long without hearing it. A real ear opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 (edited) I completely agree with the others. The Jazztet sessions (first 4 discs) reveal a certain refinement and inventiveness that is probably somewhat unique among Hard Bop groups. Also a nice surprise for me were the 2 discs devoted to the quartet sessions led separately by Farmer and Golson (1 CD/2 LP's each)--it's great music and compliments the Jazztet stuff very well. The first half of the 7th disc is Golson's LP "Take a Number from 1 to 10," an interesting concept with each track adding an additional instrument to the mix (starting with a solo track by Golson and ending with a 10-member group that includes Farmer), which I think also fits in well in this set. My only disappointment is the second half of Disc 7, which is an album of Art Farmer backed by an orchestra--nice playing by Farmer, but a bit incongruous with the small-group feel and inventiveness of the rest of the set. Still, on the whole it's a great set. Edited December 13, 2004 by Ron S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonm Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Wow - if you've *never* heard any of this music, you are in for a real treat. I agree, this set is fantastic! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJ Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I had heard much of the music in this set before it was issued as such, but a lot via CD-Rs with only so-so sound...it's a fabulous collection, already has become one of my favorite Mosaics. I personally love everything in it...including the Art Farmer date where he's backed by an orchestra (some tasty Oliver Nelson charts...well done). ART and PERCEPTION by Farmer and Golson's FREE and PICK A NUMBER... I would say these really are classics in their own right. The Jazztet stuff is of course staple material, any hard bop collection would be incomplete without it. This is a real winner, the type of set that, even though it's large and may seem pricey, is a real bargain considering the notes, and the sound, and the fact that there's nothing less than great here, AND it's historically important. Get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I have four of the Jazztet albums that are on this set, and each one is a classic, IMHO. The Jazztet didn't get their due as one of the great small bands of their era. In some ways better than Brown & Roach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
