J.A.W. Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 In looking over the Mosaic webpages for these, I was a little disappointed to see several small errors - Alberquerque Social Swim (Twardzik) - unless there's a good reason for this: the city is spelled Albuquerque That session is listed as December 1954 but Dan Skea determined it was recorded on October 27, 1954 and it's even listed in the Lord CDROM 5.0 that way. Crepescule With Nellie (Monk/Coltrane) - this is a long-standing error. The correct spelling of the word is Crepuscule! Hoping that perhaps these won't be wrong in the actual issues. Mike ← I forwarded your post to Mosaic's Scott Wenzel. I hope they'll correct the errors before the set is released. Quote
brownie Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 Crepescule With Nellie (Monk/Coltrane) - this is a long-standing error. The correct spelling of the word is Crepuscule! 'Crepescule' originated on the Riverside 'Monk's Music' LP. The album was produced by Orin Keepnews who also wrote the liner notes without checking a dictionary. He did however note that the word meant 'Twilight'. French fans of Monk had fun with that word when the album was released! Quote
mgraham333 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Anyone have release date updates on the new Mosaic Selects? Quote
Brad Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 I just called and they're hoping by the end of this week. Quote
BFrank Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 Apparently, they're out now. Felser got a Tolliver set yesterday. They've updated the website, too. The only thing now listed in "Upcoming releases" is the Trane/Monk LP. Quote
Brad Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 The last I'd heard (Thursday) when I ordered the Tolliver was that it was going to be in on Friday but that the Jazz Piano wouldn't be until next week. Perhaps that's changed. Hope so. Quote

mgraham333 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 According to Mosaic, MS-019: Pacific Jazz Piano Trios should ship tommorrow (10/25/05) Quote
Alfred Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 I have RUSS FREEMAN TRIO, THE LAST SET, TRIO: RUSS FREEMAN/RICHARD TWARDZIK, FIRST TIME OUT and SURGING AHEAD on LP. Is the rest of the material (sessions D, F, G, H) worth the money? Quote
jazzbo Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Well, in my opinion the Twardzik material is the real gem of this collection, but the Rowles material is excellent as well. The Fisher is good. . . you may have that (?). . . . It's really hard to say what someone else would feel is "worth the money." If you're a big Rowles fan I'd say it may well be. Quote
tranemonk Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 did anyone (other than me) order both...??? And have you gotten it yet??? Quote
mgraham333 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 did anyone (other than me) order both...??? And have you gotten it yet??? ← Yes. The piano trios is what's holding things up. It wasn't in until yesterday and should be shipping today. I received my "shipping within 24 hours" email notice yesterday (monday 11/24). Quote
Alec Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 Good news--- The Piano Trios set arrived today Bad news--- Because of snow, power has been out for around 24hrs Good news--- We have a generator and the stereo is hooked to it (priorities ) so I'm listening to disc 1 right now. Quote
Ron S Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Posted October 26, 2005 Good news--- The Piano Trios set arrived today Bad news--- Because of snow, power has been out for around 24hrs Good news--- We have a generator and the stereo is hooked to it (priorities ) so I'm listening to disc 1 right now. That blow-by-blow description had me on the edge of my seat. Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 Bad news--- Because of snow, power has been out for around 24hrs ← Snow already?? We've been having rather high temps these last few weeks; forecast for tomorrow: 70F/21C Quote
Dennis_M Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 did anyone (other than me) order both...??? And have you gotten it yet??? ← Yes and No. Anxiously waiting.... Quote
tranemonk Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 yea.. it's kinda annoying ... did anyone (other than me) order both...??? And have you gotten it yet??? ← Yes and No. Anxiously waiting.... ← Quote
Stefan Wood Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Got both of them yesterday. Enjoying the first discs to both sets........ The Rowles is very nice! Quote
tranemonk Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 okay.. just got mine... Gotta get through the Lester Young Verve set that I'm just enjoying TOO much... before I give this a spin.... yea.. it's kinda annoying ... did anyone (other than me) order both...??? And have you gotten it yet??? ← Yes and No. Anxiously waiting.... ← ← Quote
mgraham333 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Just got both of mine. Tolliver 894/5000, Piano Trios 4809/5000 (what? did they pull this off the bottom of the stack ) Quote
Brad Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 I got both yesterday and have listened to the first disc of Jazz Piano. Really fine. Sounds good to me but for those who are finicky it is mastered by McMaster. Haven't listened to the Tolliver yet. Quote
rostasi Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 Just got both of mine. Tolliver 894/5000, Piano Trios 4809/5000 (what? did they pull this off the bottom of the stack ) ← Also, check the numbers on the side of the boxes. Mine has a 5-digit "B2" number on the #19 and the #20 just has MS-020. The 19 has a barcode with numbers and the #20 has no barcode anywhere ...so, I totally don't get it! Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 Sounds good to me but for those who are finicky it is mastered by McMaster.← I'll bite: what's so finicky about not liking McMaster's masterings?? I knew McMaster mastered this set and I generally don't like his mastering jobs (to put it mildly), yet I ordered it, that's how much I love the music. Quote
sthomas Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) Some possible bad news about the Tolliver. Mine wouldn't play on my Bose player. Mosaic sent me a second copy and that wouldn't play either. Edited November 9, 2005 by sthomas Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 Some possible bad news about the Tolliver. Mine wouldn't play on my Bose player ... perhaps due to its being copy protected? Mosaic sent me a second copy and that wouldn't play either. ← Are you sure it's copy-protected? Does it say so in the booklet, on the CD or the inserts? Did you try another CD player? Quote
