As of 30 seconds ago, only 4,999 copies remain

[Uncle Skid]

The first song of those samples (The Dance) is the *entire* song -- all 5:32 of it!!

It looks like that is the case for all three.

Those are some serious "audio clips"!!!! B-) B-)

[Eric]

Indeed ... this set sounds/looks like a real winner ... can't wait!!!

[Hardbopjazz]

This will be the next select I will buy, along with the Dexter Gordon.

[JSngry]

Ordered

Thanks for the tip.

[sal]

Just placed my pre-order. The sound clips sound really good!

[bertrand]

It looks like the set will sell out with Organissimo pre-orders alone!

I will use my usual approach. Wait until the release date, monitor Organissimo for a couple of weeks to see if there are any manufacturing snafus, and then order the thing. If it's already sold out, that will be a Mosaic record.

[jazzbo]

I preordered as well. Would have preordered the Pepper as well if Addey had done the transfers and mastering. I'll stick to my old copies. . . .

Why wait?? It's not like Mosaic wouldn't make good on any defects. They always have in the past.

[mike casinghino]

ordered my copy with a gift card. i get the select & a couple of $$$ left over! ha!ha!ha!ha!

[ralphie_boy]

Just pulled the trigger! They're going fast.

[Michael Fitzgerald]

What timing!

Look for a complete discography of Andrew Hill put together by Ronald Lyles and myself - should appear on my website by this Sunday. It will include the Mosaic Select details as well as everything else Hill-acious, going back to 1954.

HILL YEAH!!!!!

[mgraham333]

I grabbed both the new ones. Passing Ships and Black Fire made me a Hill convert. Can't wait for this new stuff.

[sidewinder]

I've pre-ordered along with grabbing a Herman set. Looks stonking !

[Late]

Pre-ordered too. Woo-hoo!

"The 2003 release of Andrew Hill's Passing Ships on Blue Note set off a torrent of requests for more unissued Hill material. After some discussions with the artist, we came up with a solution: clean out the closet in one fell swoop.

With the release of these sessions, recorded between 1967 and '70, every piece of music from Andrew Hill's Blue Note recordings has been issued."

Who would have thought. A great day indeed!

(Does the "torrent of requests" indicate at all that we might see some future Hill Connoisseurs ... for those who missed the Mosaic?)

[mgraham333]

Just got done listening to the second Hill clip, Monkash, for the 3rd time in a row. I like this one a lot. I have a feeling this Select may stay in the rotation for quite a while.

Pick up Dance With Death also. It's very good.

[Late]

Pick up Dance With Death also. It's very good.

Ditto that. When Hill's Connoisseurs become scarce, they'll likely go for steep prices on e-bay. Now's the time to scoop up those titles that interest you. (I think everyone here already knows that, though.)

I wouldn't want to be without Lift Every Voice, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not into vocals in a "jazz" setting. Still, it gets my .

Slightly off-topic, but the East-West Hill's from the mid-70's are also very nice. (I don't have Blue Black though ... d'oh!)

I love LEV too! I've never heard the East-West sessions. I think Nefertiti is still around - I haven't been able to locate Blue/Black though.

[Stefan Wood]

Preordered. That and the Art Pepper. I may be poor, but I will have these guys lifting my spirits......

Forgot to mention that one. Got it too.

Dusty Groove seems to get them in pretty regularly. I have them all and think they are all worth searching for.

[Guest Chaney]

Listening to the three supplied tunes right now.

The Dance sounds good (a barn-burner, I'd say) but still, pretty standard fare. MOMA I find the best on the three and a good example of the maxim: less is more. Hill sounds especially fine. Wish there had been a more interesting bassist and more creative drummer on hand, though. Monkash sounds... er... interesting. Not sure about those strings; their arrangement sounds rather amateurish. Maybe a failed experiment on the part of Hill?
