Mosaic set question


Recommended Posts

How hard is it to obtain contents of the following Mosaic sets as individual CDs (not Mosaic partials)? I think most of the Jazz Messengers and Lee Morgan sets can be had as individual CDs, but I am not sure. Are the discographies of each set still availble online?

120 The Complete Recordings of the Paul Desmond Quartet with Jim Hall

121 The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions of Ike Quebec

131 The Complete Recordings of the Stan Getz Quintet with Jimmy Raney

137 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Larry Young

141 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Art Blakey’s 1960 Jazz Messengers

145 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Don Cherry

147 The Complete Serge Chaloff Sessions

151 The Complete Solid State Recordings of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra

154 The Complete February 1957 Jimmy Smith Blue Note Sessions

159 The Phil Woods Quartet/Quintet 20th Anniversary Set

161 The Complete Blue Note Andrew Hill Sessions (1963-66)

162 The Complete Blue Note Lee Morgan Fifties Sessions

For the Larry Young, Art Blakey and Lee Morgan sets, I think they were OOP before the Mosaic web site ever existed, so no 'Mosaic style' discography there.

I can give you the names of the corresponding albums/CDs with their availability status. If you want the contents, you can find a very rough draft (typos and all) at jazzdisco.org which has the entire BN discography. But this site is full of errors.

Note that the entire Blakey set is currently available on CD now that Like Someone In Love is out as an RVG; this is the first time this has ever happened (except for the Mosaic).

Art Blakey

The Big Beat (RVG)

A Night In Tunisia (RVG)

Like Someone In Love (RVG)

Roots And Herbs (regular reissue)

The Witch Doctor (regular reissue)

The Freedom Rider (regular reissue)

Meet Me At The Jazz Corner Of The World (2-CD RVG)

The 5 tracks that were part of the Japanese-only LP Pisces are split among the Roots And Herbs and Freedom Rider CDs

Lee Morgan

Indeed!

Volume Two

Volume Three (OOP)

City Lights

The Cooker

Candy (regular reissue)

Four of these have never been on CD in the U.S. (amazing!). They all have been out on CD in Japan (without the bonus track for Volume Three and The Cooker) as TOCJs and JRVGs. Volume Three was out in the U.S. with the bonus track, but now long OOP (it never made the Collectors' Choice series).

So, to put together this set, you'll need to spring for Japanese pressings (except for Candy), and you'll be missing two alternates.

Larry Young

Talkin' About (Grant Green) (regular reissue)

Street Of Dreams (Grant Green) (regular reissue)

I Want To Hold Your Hand (Grant Green) (regular reissue)

Into Somethin' (Connoisseur)

Unity (RVG)

Of Love And Peace (Connoisseur)

Contrasts

Heaven On Earth

Mother Ship (Connoisseur)

Contrasts and Heaven On Earth have never been out on CD anywhere, so you can't make a complete box. Also, it is rumored that there are four usable alternates to Unity that have yet to be issued. They are not listed in the BN discography.

STAN GETZ: The still in print 3CD set Stan Getz - the complete ROOST recordings" covers most of the material.

DON CHERRY: Complete communion is the only album which is available at the moment. Symphony for improvisors was released as a Connoisseur but it is OOP. A RVG release is planned for summer 2005 (that is what Blue Note means with "limited edition" -_- ). Where is Brooklyn? will be released as a Conn in October.

IKE QUEBEC: The complete 45 sessions will be released as a 2CD set later this year. :excited:
