Hardbopjazz Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 What was your first Mosaic? For me it was the Larry Young set. How many set have you gotten rid of for one reason or another? I have all of mine. Quote
WD45 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 The Sam Reeeevers was my first set. It was a Xmas gift. I have parted ways with the Monk set on LP, the Kenton Capitol, and the Ellington Reprise [twice, actually.] I sold the Monk when putting together the money for a down payment on my house, along with a deep groove mono first-pressing of Dizzy Reece's Star Bright on BN. The Kenton and Ellingtons were traded / sold because the music didn't bowl me over for the most part. Quote
tranemonk Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Jackie McLean... and I would never get rid of Mosaics... Quote
Ron S Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 The Complete Buddy Bolden Cylinders. Actually, I got into Mosaic relatively recently, and dipped my toes in the shallow end with the Paul Chambers Select. From there it escalated to an order for Mulligan CJB and Byrd/Adams, the 2 cheapest boxes. And from there, well, now it's hopeless (so far 12 boxes and 6 Selects). Quote
ASNL77 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Tal Farlow. Good one to start with! Quote
Tom in RI Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 My first Mosaic was the Complete Blue Note Thelonious Monk. The issue had been advirtised in the jazz press and I had pre ordered. There was some kind of delay and Mosaic was compelled to offer refunds to everyone who had pre ordered. This lead to an exchange of correspondence with Michael Cuscuna which I keep in the box. Subsequently I've accumulated maybe 30 Mosaics, I have never gotten rid of any but its inevitable that I will decide to cull a few at some point. Quote
dsgtrane Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 My first was the Woody Shaw. Heard some of it on the radio in NYC while up there on business in the early 90s. Went into J&R and asked about it, at which time I found about Mosaic. Ordered it before I went home and have been buying them ever since. Still have them all. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Blue Note Monk and Mulligan with Baker. Still have them all. Quote
BFrank Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 What was your first Mosaic? For me it was the Larry Young set. How many set have you gotten rid of for one reason or another? I have all of mine. ← Larry for me, too. Still have all of them. The only one I've even thought of selling/trading is the Carmell Jones Select set. It's not bad, just not that exciting. Quote
B. Goren. Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Please take a look here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...set%20purchased Quote
Soul Stream Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Mine was Larry Young. I knew who he was but had never heard his music since none of his Blue Notes were available on CD until the Mosaic came out. I had just started playing B3 and this set really made the whole thing for me..... Quote
Tony Pusey Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Sam Rivers, and I have not culled my collection. Quote
jlhoots Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Tina Brooks vinyl. I don't have a turntable anymore, so I sold the few sets I had on vinyl (Brooks, Quebec, Ammons / Johnson, the first Hodges, maybe 1 or 2 others that I've blocked out). I have lots of great ones now on CD & wouldn't sell any of them. Quote
JohnJ Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Jimmy Smith. It has never crossed my mind to sell a Mosaic. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Lee Morgan. I've sold one, the Woody Shaw. Quote
SEK Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I think my first one was the Mingus. In a period of financial need, I sold my Larry Young I've since bought my favorites from that collection. Quote
LAL Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Sam Rivers I'll part with a set if offered a .999 fine 1 oz gold coin a disc. Quote
sidewinder Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) A Larry Young 'partial' CD set was my first. Closely followed by Woody Shaw and Andrew Hill. Been a big, big fan ever since. If anyone tried to cart away my Mosaics I'd do a Mingus elephant-gun tenement-eviction routine on them. Edited August 30, 2005 by sidewinder Quote
Alfred Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 My first one was the Woody Shaw. I have sold a lot Mosaics for different reasons (but never before copying the booklet ): a) the sound: Morgan b) the music: Jones/Lewis & Kenton c) found lovely LP's as a replacement: Cherry and some of the Pacific, BN and Atlantic boxes d) crazy eBay members from Japan : Basie & Cole Quote
tjobbe Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 started very late with my first one being the Tal Farlow......some two boxes following and 3 Selects either. Need to get more control on my spendings for Jazz .... Cheers, Tjobbe Quote
7/4 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Elvin Jones, a few months before he passed on. Quote
