sal Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Dexter Gordon and Don Pullen. Both look like winners to me! Mosaic is really something....just when they are already putting out the best product availiable for recorded music, they come back with these Mosaic Selects which in my opinion are just as good as their regular boxes, but in a different way.

jazzbo Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 They look good. . . . ! I have most of the material in both sets. Excellent music! Quote
Brad Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Just in time for the Dexter Select since I sold my individual cds to cover this. Excellent! What with the new Savoy set, the Prestige box and the Select, it's coming up Dexter-ilicous! Quote
pryan Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Very excited about the Dexter set. I haven't heard all that much from the Cables, Reid, Gladden group, other than the Carnegie Hall date, which is outstanding. Quote

Man with the Golden Arm Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 i see the Pullen set is mastered by Kurt Lundvall. any props? Quote
BeBop Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Tempting, tempting, tempting... Quote
Alfred Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Just in time for the Dexter Select since I sold my individual cds to cover this. Excellent! ... ditto! Pre-ordered both sets! Quote
Guest Chaney Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Sound restoration and transfer: Malcolm Addey OH BABY! Quote
dsgtrane Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Pre-ordered both sets! Ditto as well even though I already have all of the Pullen sessions. Can you say ebay? Between these, the Miles & Ayler boxes and the new Conns, my preorders the past few days now exceed $300! Quote
jazzbo Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Man I know what you mean. . .that's why I'm NOT preordering these! Quote
wesbed Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 I want the Dexter for sure. It's odd for me that, for the first time ever, with the Don Pullen Select, Mosaic is releasing material that even 'I' already have a copy of. The Don Pullen is 1980s material and I was purchasing jazz in the 80s. There was no way I could have purchased the 50s and 60s material when it was initially released. In the 1980s, however, I was there. Quote
dsgtrane Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) Man I know what you mean. . .that's why I'm NOT preordering these! Of course we both know they'll find their way into your collection sooner rather than later! Edited September 22, 2004 by dsgtrane Quote
Stefan Wood Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Pulled the trigger on these. Quote
mjzee Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 i see the Pullen set is mastered by Kurt Lundvall. any props? Hmmm...any relation to Bruce Lundvall, head of EMI America? Quote
RDK Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 I'm somewhat relieved that I can probably skip these two and get caught up on some other ones instead. I have most if not all of the Pullens, and - burn me as a heretic - but these Dexter live dates never really did much for me. Quote
Leeway Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 Note: All of this material was recorded off the sound system at the club at 7 ½ IPS rather than with professional remote recording equipment at 15 IPS. The quality of the music far outweighs the imperfections in the recording process. A cautionary note? Addey's involvement is heartening, but Kurt Ludvall's is not, base on his work with Lovano's recent live recording at the Vanguard. Quote
Bluerein Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 Kurt is his son (or brother I forgot what MC told me). Indeed his recordings are not so OK (to use an understatement). Let's hope his remasterings are a lot better. I think the majority of these Pullen recordings are digital in the first place so there's not a lot to gain anyway. Cheers, Reinier Quote
BFrank Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 I've got the Pullens except for the last solo set. I think I'm OK without getting that one. The Dexter sounds interesting. I always liked "Manhattan Symphonie" and thought that was a bit under-rated. I saw that quartet at the Keystone in '77 and although I don't remember the set specifically, I'm sure it was smokin'.

Shrdlu Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 I hear that they are planning an Andrew Hill Select, too. I wonder what will be on that. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 Kurt did an okay remastering job on those Elektras that Blue Note reissued (Evans, Getz/Dailey, Bird in D.C.). . . . Quote
