wesbed Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 I haven't purchased a new Mosaic set in several weeks. I believe I'm in the mood to get my copy of the Lou Donaldson box. Tee hee hee. Lou Donaldson Mosaic Complete Quote
Alfred Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 You already have this one? Pssst! Insider tip!!! Maybe the next set on the running low list. And it is soooooooooooooooo beautiful!!! Quote
wesbed Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Posted June 13, 2005 You already have this one? Pssst! Insider tip!!!← Yes. I've got that one. I'm eyeing the Lou Donaldson now. Quote
ajf67 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 I'm a big Lou fan. Good, fun, straight-ahead jazz. Nothing fancy. As Lou would say, "No fusion, no con-fusion." Quote
wesbed Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Posted June 14, 2005 C'mon! Tell me more of why I need to get this set or why I don't. Feck. Quote
LAL Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 I haven't purchased a new Mosaic set in several weeks. I believe I'm in the mood to get my copy of the Lou Donaldson box. Tee hee hee. Lou Donaldson Mosaic Complete ← Yes. This one is the first on my Mosaics to buy list. Your first line above makes it sound as if you buy a Mosaic every week. True or just me reading too much into it?

LAL Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 C'mon! Tell me more of why I need to get this set or why I don't. Feck. ← There's a big fan of Mosaic sets over at the other joint. Why don't you send him a request for a detailed cost-benefits analysis. It's FOC! Quote
tranemonk Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 the main reason I'm not getting it is that I have at least 2 or 3 of the sessions which were released on individual CD's....can't remember which ones but I can't buy a box of which I have at least half on CD already... C'mon! Tell me more of why I need to get this set or why I don't. Feck. ← Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 but I can't buy a box of which I have at least half on CD already... That's crazy talk....you'd better get with the program, Ace!! Quote
Ron S Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 but I can't buy a box of which I have at least half on CD already... That's crazy talk....you'd better get with the program, Ace!! ← No, that's rational talk--if he wants to get with the program, he needs to go crazy. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 I've held off buying the individual LPs and CDs of this one just so that I can get the Donaldson set.. Quote
andybleaden Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Worth it just to listen to Midnight Sun all over again in my view. I had most of the cds but flogged them for the box set as it was a real treat Do not hesitate BUY BUY er bye! Quote
king ubu Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 I've held off buying the individual LPs and CDs of this one just so that I can get the Donaldson set.. ← Same here! I even had the one single disc I bought, "On the Sunny Side", on my sale-pile (but put it back in the shelf again)... never came around picking this one up, but I know I will do so, latest once it runs low! Quote
tranemonk Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 I stand with my original opinion... buy the individual CDs... that are in print... To me... I'm much more interested in Mosaics where most/all of the stuff has never come out in CD and/or is not likely to come out on individual CDs..... (e.g., the Sonny Sitt set, Horace Parlan....etc.) I vote - say your $$$ for another set... the main reason I'm not getting it is that I have at least 2 or 3 of the sessions which were released on individual CD's....can't remember which ones but I can't buy a box of which I have at least half on CD already... C'mon! Tell me more of why I need to get this set or why I don't. Feck. ← ← Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Midnight Sun That didn't even come out in Nippon, did it? Quote
jazzbo Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 TraneMonk, the Parlan is a bad example, the Stitt a good one, for your purposes! Rolf, yes, never even a TOCJ! Quote
J.A.W. Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 TraneMonk, the Parlan is a bad example, the Stitt a good one, for your purposes! Rolf, yes, never even a TOCJ! ← Lon's right. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 I guess I'd better get this set sooner rather than later...not only for MS, but for Blues Walk -- one that never quite clicked (well, except for 'Callin' all Cats') so I ditched it about 5 years back. After reading some LD interview over at AAJ awhile back, I figured it might make sense to give it another listen. I remember that he was all fired up about 'Blues Walk'...said it's his only perfect recording and one that he listens to quite often in his car while cruising around. I thought that was a hoot....always wonder how many of these guys actually listen to their old stuff and get all giddy over it. That's nice. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 I'm not crazy about the sound on this set, but the music is great; I like the stuff with Foster, he and Lou were combined something really cool! Quote
J.A.W. Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) I'm not crazy about the sound on this set, but the music is great; I like the stuff with Foster, he and Lou were combined something really cool! ← I fully agree. To my ears this is one of Ron McMaster's worst remastering jobs, but the music's excellent. Edited June 15, 2005 by J.A.W. Quote
Brad Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 I think this is a case of where the sum is greater than the whole. I had some of the individual cds but sold them to make weigh for this Mosaic. You get the book, plus I kept the liner notes so what's not to like? Quote
J.A.W. Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 ...so what's not to like? ← In my case, the sound. Sorry to spoil the fun, but to my ears it sounds LOUD and compressed. Quote
wesbed Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Posted June 15, 2005 I vote - say your $$$ for another set... Thanks. Now, I gotta get this set. Quote
Ron S Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 I vote - say your $$$ for another set... Thanks. Now, I gotta get this set. ← The ol' reverse barometer. Quote
wesbed Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Posted June 29, 2005 I ordered my Donaldson box today. Quote
