Brad Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 We've barely gotten a chance to digest these new Selects but I was wondering what's up next on the calendar. I see that the Crusaders are on the to do list but what's next? Is the Patton next? Always trying to look forward here. Quote
jacknife Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 According to the March Mosaic Brochure..."This fall, we will release Selects on Paul Chambers and John Patton". Quote
Ed S Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 Dex's Nights at the Keystone is a possibility. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 My chrystal ball says "Wingy Manone Imperial Recordings" and "Tyree Glenn Roulette Recordings." Darn thing is never right though! Quote
Late Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 (edited) I think the rumor about the Mulligan Songbook Mosaic Select might be more than rumor. I received an e-mail a while ago from Michael Cuscuna (so I hope this OK to post), and he projected (but didn't promise) a 2004 time frame for this Select. The most exciting news about this particular package (because most of the music has already been available separately) is that: (1) A number of original stereo master reel tapes were recently found, therefore allowing new remasters. (The existing single discs all come from mono tapes.) And: (2) This Select will contain all of the Vinnie Burke sessions that Burke recorded while Mulligan was in the studio. I believe these recordings were entitled "Swingtime" or "Stringtime." For those who haven't heard any of the Burke sessions, here's a look at the line-up: Gerry Mulligan: baritone saxophone Paul Palmieri: guitar Dick Wetmore: violin Calo Scott: cello Vinnie Burke: bass Dave Bailey: drums On paper, it would appear that the session might be some kind of "third stream" attempt, but it's actually pretty swingin' jazz. The tunes selected (covers of Horace Silver's "The Preacher"; Milt Jackson's "Bags' Groove," etc.) also help with the groove. I'm not sure that Mulligan will actually be on all of the new unreleased tunes (maybe someone else does know?), but I'll be eager to hear how this set sounds. It's fun stuff. Having Reunion, with Chet Baker, in stereo for the first time will also be very nice! Edited May 26, 2003 by Late Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Are the Crusaders someone that should be getting a Mosaic of any kind? I don't know their work. The name also leaves a lot to be desired. I am sure anyone can guess the reason why. Quote

Eric Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 The Jazz Crusaders stuff on Pacific Jazz is good ole' harp bop - fun stuff. Eric Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I got a wafflingly positive email back from someone with the initials "MC" after requesting a possible Select consisting of the Pullen Trios and Pullen Adams Quartet sessions. Now there's some essential shit. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 That's good news. MC should get these back in print; he produced most if not all of them, right? Quote
Clunky Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 too right Lon, Mosaic ought to be bold enough to start championing unsung artists and sessions from the 70s and 80s. I'd go for these without hesitation. Quote
DrJ Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 First time poster, long time lurker... Got the following nice and speedy reply from Mosaic after sending a brief thank you for their recent Randy Weston Select and list of some wishes for future "regular" and Select boxes: "We are trying to get permission for (a) Tal Farlow (Complete Verve) set and are working on a Duke Pearson set with The Phantom, Merry Ole Soul, It Could Happen Only With You, How Insensitve and I Don't Care Who Knows It." Hot dog, glad they have not given up on the Farlow and that FINALLY we may get a Duke Pearson box! Quote
jazzbo Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Good news on both counts; thanks for sharing! And quit lurking, post man, post! Quote
BruceH Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I heard a rumor awhile back of a Dizzy Reece and a possible Clifford Jordan Select. But I haven't heard anything since then, so it may have been nothing more than a rumor. Quote
Daniel A Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 "We are trying to get permission for (a) Tal Farlow (Complete Verve) set and are working on a Duke Pearson set with The Phantom, Merry Ole Soul, It Could Happen Only With You, How Insensitve and I Don't Care Who Knows It." Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 i hope they put out a baby face willette mosaic select. maybe next year after the patton sells out. ss1 Quote
Soul Stream Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Cheers for the Pearson set. Nice candidate for a Select, and anything that gets me "The Phantom," I'm all for.... Quote
mikeweil Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 I'll definitely go for the Pearson set, if they do it in session order - the LPs were a scattered affair - it'll be a treat. When I heard the few tracks with Vinnie Burke as bonus tracks to the Mulligan Songbook CD issue, it made me wish there was more ..... I have all of the Bennie Green stuff on LP, this is great stuff, Green was one of the most entertaining serious jazz soloists ever. I'll get that one too ... pity my purse Quote
Brad Posted May 28, 2003 Author Report Posted May 28, 2003 Wow, there's some great stuff to look forward to. I had forgotten (nor bothered to read the latest brochure) about the Chambers. However, having that material already I'll pass that one up. I'm looking forward to the Patton and I don't believe there's enough Baby Face to warrant a Select although I enjoy his work. Plus, Mosaic won't do 2 organists so closely. I like the idea of a Mulligan songbook, Nights at the Keystone and am always hoping for a Three Sounds. Quote
Soul Stream Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 I haven't seen this much excitement about Mosaic in years. The selects are coming fast and furious and I'm loving it! Hope the Pearson comes out, but in the meantime, I'm still looking forward to getting the Carmell Jones and the Bennie Green. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 I just hope that they sort out the permission thing re: the potential Tal Farlow Complete Verve box. That set is going to please a lot of Tal and Mosaic afficionados ! Quote
mikeweil Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 Regarding Baby Face Willette, that's all I could find (except for a few single sessions before the Blue Note dates): Blue Note BN 4064 Grant Green - Grant's First Stand Blue Note BN 4066 Lou Donaldson - Here 'Tis Blue Note BN 4068 'Baby Face' Willette - Face To Face Blue Note BN 4084 'Baby Face' Willette - Stop And Listen Now if they would add the two Argo LPs: Argo LP 739 'Baby Face' Willette - Mo-Roc Argo LP 749 'Baby Face' Willette - Behind The 8-Ball plus an unissued session, if the tapes still exist ... Quote
Ed S Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 Someone mentioned a Dizzy Reece set in some other thread. That would be very nice indeed. Quote
mgraham333 Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 The Mosaic Selects are numbered as a series: 1) Moncur 2) Jones 3) Green 4) Weston Do you find that style of numbering compels you to buy them all? I have to admit that the "collector" instinct kicks in every once in a while. So far, I've been fond of most of the Mosaic Select offerings, although I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of the more avant-garde style of music as in the Moncur (which is the only Select I don't yet have - although I am warming up to the Moncur with repeated listenings to the sample tracks). So I'm wondering what will happen when the first Select comes along in which I have absolutely no interest. Could I really stand it to see all of my Selects lined up in a row: 1,2,3,4,5,6,_,8,9,10....... Quote
Out2Lunch Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 Someone mentioned a Dizzy Reece set in some other thread. That would be very nice indeed. Yes and the suggestion regarding a Dave Bailey Select is another great idea. Quote
