Chuck Nessa Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Looks like a great chance for someone to get "The Art Ensemble 1967/68" at a nice price. Quote

Jazzmoose Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Thanks, Gary! I've been waiting all summer for this news!! Quote
king ubu Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Following is the text from the link above: *****Buy A Mosaic Set And Get A Discount On True Blue Music!***** Limited Time Offer! Offer Ends July 31st As a customer of Mosaic Records, you are eligible to enjoy a price reduction on our True Blue Music catalog. True Blue Music carries some of the finest jazz recordings from all of the major labels including Blue Note, Verve and Columbia as well as independents such as Delmark, Concord and Hindsight. Here's how the promotion works: Purchase a Mosaic Records set and you are entitled to purchase the same number of CDs or LPs at a $5.00 discount from True Blue Music. For example, buy a 5 CD or 5 LP set from Mosaic Records and buy up to 5 CDs or 5 LPs at a $5 discount on each CD from True Blue Music (a savings of $25. (You may mix CDs and LPs). A $12.98 item would cost $7.98 and a $15.98 item would cost $10.98. And a 3 CD set which would normally sell for $39.98 would be priced at $24.98. All of the Mosaic sets are eligible for this program and you may purchase as many sets as you wish (Buy a 10 CD set and be eligible for a $50 savings). The discount may only be applied to True Blue Music product and not Mosaic Records sets. The discounts must be used when you place the order. They cannot be carried forward for use at a later time. If you order on the website, the shopping cart prior to checkout, will automatically calculate the proper discount that you would pay for your order. The items from both websites (www.mosaicrecords.com and www.truebluemusic.com) are included in the same shopping cart. You can always delete items from the shopping cart before you finally complete your order. Hopefully with this program, we are able to provide you with more jazz recordings at basically wholesale prices and at the same time expose more of our sets to our customers. As a member of the Mosaic family we hope you enjoy this benefit and we thank you very much for your continued support. now the updated version has the offer ending august 31, 03: A Final Note Please take advantage of Mosaic without delay – this offer ends August 31, 2003. You probably know by now that jazz isn’t just a business for us; it’s a labor of love. And thanks for your loyalty to us and to this great art form. Sincerely, All of us at Mosaic Records now this has poor ubu a little bit confused... ubu Quote
Gary Posted July 18, 2003 Author Report Posted July 18, 2003 Typically I ordered the Chico Hamilton set on Monday . I could have taken advantage of the offer to get the AEC box . But then again that JJ Johnson box looks very enticing. Quote
king ubu Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Typically I ordered the Chico Hamilton set on Monday . I could have taken advantage of the offer to get the AEC box . But then again that JJ Johnson box looks very enticing. oh, sure! get them! two great box sets! and with the j.j., you can even get two more discs... and have fun with Hamilton! (I'll finally pick up the selects 1 & 2, together with some ESSENTIAL Basie & some Duke... what a feast! - only, I've got to wait till the next paycheck arrives... and don't tell my girlfriend ) ubu Quote
king ubu Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 The reply from Mosaic (following my email inquiry): It's the end of August. We are in the process of correcting this. Thanks, Mosaic Records ubu Quote
ajf67 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 I love this sale. Really used it last year and just did again and bought the Elvin Jones box. Put the discount toward the Art Ensemble box and can't wait to listen to it. Quote
clandy44 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 What kind of King lives week to week? Ubu, draw down on those Swiss accounts. Quote
king ubu Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 What kind of King lives week to week? Ubu, draw down on those Swiss accounts. despite my alias, I'm nothing than a blatant, grandiloquent student... and on switzerland: imagine "nice price" and "mid price" disc for 16$ , normally priced ones 25$. nice, eh? not even a swiss king might buy as much as he would like to!

marcoliv Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 well this time i can't complain!!! it´s the first time that i can have access to any Mosaic discount so i´m more than excited. already ordered the Hamilton set and used instantly my 30 bucks can't wait till August in order to place a huge one this time (JJ Johnson + Elvin Jones) peace Marcus Oliveira Quote
Parkertown Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 I'm hopping on this too. Getting the AEC box, $25 off. Super sweeet! Quote
Ed S Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Well, I pulled the trigger. Bagged the Johnny Smith Mosaic set along with the AEC and Big Band Jazz, The Jubilee Sessions sets from True Blue. Hope there's enough AEC Boxes to go around! Quote

pryan Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 I'm hopping on this too. Getting the AEC box, $25 off. Super sweeet! I agree; now to decide which Mosaic to get. I'm thinking either the Gerald Wilson or Tristano/Konitz/Marsh. Probably the latter cuz it will probably go OOP first. What do you guys think? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 I'd get the Wilson, but that's just me. If you think there's any chance you'll get both someday, then by all means get the one that's going out of print first now. Quote

robviti Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 has anyone ordered one of mosaic's select sets and received $5 off three true blue titles? i assume the select sets are part of the sale, since there's no mention of their being excluded. Quote
vibes Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 It should be OK to do the Selects. I tried putting them in my shopping cart and then adding True Blue titles, and it worked OK. I received the Illinois Jacquet set and 4 CD's today. Very quick shipping and great service! Quote
Ed S Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 (edited) Ah.......the Johnny Smith set. SO very nice. What a guitarist this guy was. My set arrived a couple days ago and has not left the CD changer. What a revelation. If you dig jazz guitar, you HAVE to get this set. My AEC set arrived as well. I'll be checking that out soon enough. Anyway, I pulled the trigger yet again. This time it was the Chico Hamilton set. I was forced to as it hit Last Chance and all. For the True Blue bonus I picked the Charlie Christian set as well as the 2 CD Billie Holiday Decca. Edited August 1, 2003 by Ed Swinnich Quote
DrJ Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 I'm envious, Ed. I have never been disappointed yet by a Mosaic box, so I pretty much want everything they put out (with the Four Freshmen a probable exception - fine music I'm sure but really not my thing) so generally go in chronological order by earliest release date (unless something is slated to go OOP out of sequence). Can't wait to get to the Johnny Smith! The GOOD news is that I ordered the Kenton Presents Cooper/Holman/Rosolino, and for the True Blue $5 off stuff ordered the Benny Goodman Trio/Quartet RCA 3CD box (been eyeing that one forever) and both the Elmo Hope Beacon and Celebrity LPs (OK, had to pay full price for one of those but what the heck!). I'm hoping this package will arrive today - it's due! I will be pulling the trigger again REAL soon, sometime in early August. Too good to pass up these rare deals. Quote
mikeweil Posted August 4, 2003 Report Posted August 4, 2003 Mosaic should accept subscription with 25 % off ..... Anyway, I got me the Chico Hamilton set at last, and the 2 CD sets of Lester Young and Wilbur Harden/John Coltrane on Savoy - these are impossible to get in Germany and priced astonomically high in Britain when I visited Tower in London - and the Groove Holmes/Gene Ammons and the Burrell CD Moten Swing, also unavailable here. Very nice deal, probably can't resist to score another one before the end of the month ... Quote
