Man with the Golden Arm Posted June 30, 2003 Report Posted June 30, 2003 I saw the "The Man with the Golden Arm" soundtrack CD recently in a used store so it is definitely out there. Also, king ubu, I agree, Sinatra was excellent in the movie, one of his best roles. See Dusty Groove for MWTGA Quote
Matthew Posted January 15, 2010 Report Posted January 15, 2010 With the Braxton box set out, and the Threadgill on the horizon, I would love to see John Carter get the Mosaic treatment. A box set would be great, but to have the Roots and Folklore series as a Select, would be the coolest thing in the world. Carter is vastly underrated in my book, and his cds are almost impossible to find. The Roots and Folklore would include these albums: Roots and Folklore: Episodes in the Development of American Folk Music The John Carter Octet: Dauwhe (1982)John Carter: Castles of Ghana (1991)John Carter: Dance of the Love Ghosts (1987)John Carter: Fields (1988)John Carter: Shadows On A Wall (1989) Quote

This is #1 on my list too even though I have the discs already and doubt we'll ever see a Gramavision/Black Saint project. The Roots and Folklore series is one of my very favorite things in my collection and it's criminal that it's so obscure to general listeners. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Posted January 22, 2010 Count Basie's RCA recordings This was posted long ago, but nevertheless - there was a Japanese 3 CD box with this, so I doubt  Mosaic will do this. Besides that much of the music is nice, but not as spectacular as the Clef or Columbia sides. Quote

Double amen. I've managed to run down just about all of the series via CDs or vinyl, but I'd buy a Mosaic Select the first week of release. Quote
king ubu Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 John Carter - wow, great idea! Do suggest that to Mosaic! No idea if these are accessible for them, but it might well worth be a try! (Are they all on RCA/Novus?) I'd definitely buy that, as all I managed to find is "Castles of Ghana", and that one's magnificient! Quote

I'd definitely buy that, as all I managed to find is "Castles of Ghana", and that one's magnificient! DAUWHE is on Black Saint and is technically in print. The remainder were issued by Gramavision, which was at one time owned / a division of / distributed by Rykodisc. I've no idea what the current state of the Gramavision masters is... but one could assemble a number of fine Mosaic selects around artists on their roster: Anthony Davis, Ray Anderson, John Scofield, Oliver Lake, Bobby Previte.

king ubu Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 Ah yes, Grammavision, sure! How could I forget?! I was posting from work and was busy there today, so didn't check... I can't see any BlackSaint/SoulNote ever being on Mosaic (even less so as the new owner, CAM Jazz has started repressing some CDs), to be honest. Quote
colinmce Posted January 30, 2010 Report Posted January 30, 2010 Speaking of which, Amazon is offering some Black Saint/Soul Note titles as on-demand CD-Rs for the very attractive price of $9.90 Quote
Bluerein Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 Some of the Gramavisions are still in print. The Scofield's and the Medeski's to name a few. The more obscure ones are deleted. Quote

jeffcrom Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 How about... THE COMPLETE BETHLEHEM, JAZZ MAN, ARGO AND UNITED ARTISTS RECORDINGS OF HOWARD MCGHEE What a great idea! Quote
DrJ Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 I will definitely second the earlier suggestion for the Lucky Thompson/Milt Jackson Savoy recordings! Two CDs worth of the originally issued stuff would be great, but wouldn't it be amazing if they found some unreleased stuff on the reels? They also need to follow up their recent Denny Zeitlin Columbia studio set with one covering some of his contemporary live recordings, including the material issued on "Live at the Trident" but hopefully a lot more. It's also about time someone did a Hal McKusick collection...I don't know for sure that it would fit on 3 CDs but I'd love to see his stuff collected. I'm pretty sure CROSS SECTION SAXES, JAZZ AT THE ACADEMY, QUINTET, THE JAZZ WORKSHOP, and IN A 20TH CENTURY DRAWING ROOM would all fit on 3 discs, and it would be great if his Bethlehem QUARTET date and Jubilee date with Betty St. Clair would also fit. Quote
colinmce Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 I would love to see such a McKusick set, but I think the availability of a Lone Hill compilation with some of those albums makes that project somewhat moot, irritating as that is. Quote
colinmce Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 Also, why not a George Russell Decca Select with New York, New York (1959), Jazz in the Space Age (1960), George Russell Sextet at the Five Spot (1960) and George Russell Sextet in KC (1961). While all have appeared on CD in some form or another, none are readily available in the US. Quote
tranemonk Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 I'm still waiting for my Betty Carter Select (esp. the live stuff from her label).... :angry: I'd also take some unreleased Michel Petrucciani Quote

I still think Al Haig's 70s things would make a nice set. gregmo Quote
