ejp626 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I was never able to get the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Mosiac, and while I do keep my eyes open on ebay, I haven't been fortunate enough to score yet. How much of this is in print or relatively easy to find OOP CDs? In other words, would it be easier to try to reconstruct the box by buying the individual sessions or is Mosaic definitely the way to get this material? Thanks.

Big Wheel Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Only two of the sessions are currently in print: Central Park North and Consummation. However, I would guess that another title is due to be released this year, as Blue Note has been putting out about one each year for the last couple of years. If you have a turntable, it may be easier to fill out the rest on LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 The Solid State LPs are relatively easy to find at second-hand vinyl stores. The only possible issue with them though is the presence of 'reverb', thanks to the original Sonny Lester production. Mosaic sorted that out.

DMP Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 A couple of the earlier ones were out on "budget" CDs - they could still be around somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid that budget LRC CD under all circumstances - there is nothing on it that isn't on the two Blue reissue CDs, which sound a lot better - part of the LRC was dubbed from a scratchy LP!

Brad Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 On a related note, this is what they appear to be doing with the Basie Mosaic Roulette Studio material. A bit of that has come out in the past few years and I would expect to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 The live Village Vanguard album was out on a budget disk. I picked it up by "accident" a few months ago - thinking it was something I didn't already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one of the Village Vanguard LPs ( forget which) on SS not very long ago, I have to say that the sound is very good and I can't hear any added reverb.
