David Ayers Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I'm not disputing the quality, just wondering out loud about the comparatively static business model in times when consumer expectations change quickly. I can see where they are heading: Mosaic full box sets --> Mosaic Selects --> Mosaic Singles --> Mosaic iTunes Speaking of cheapness, the Jack Johnson set is currently going for £18 on amazon.co.uk...

Brad Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Ordered four of these, skipping the trad jazz one and have the Perkins Cohn Kamuca cd. Was going to pass on the Lloyd but liked the sound bites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi all! I would have to agree with the comments on shipping charges to Europe. I ordered and got the Oliver Nelson Set (amazing by the way). Shipping was $30 and the actual postage amount for the box was just above $15. I think that $15 for "handling" is way too much. Also in this last instance the green vcustoms declaration note was missing and I ended up paying some extra VAT and customs fees. /Shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Any word on the actual ship date for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think mid April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'm going to call Mosaic tomorrow & see if they have a semi-specific shipping date estimate... website now says mid to late April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Lloyd at Mosaic says four of the Singles will ship in the next 1-2 days... and the Blakey and Charles Lloyd ones will go out at the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I ordered the Lloyd (among others)- I wonder if they'll wait 'til the end of the month and ship everything together or make two separate shipments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Does anyone know what the story is with Robbie Robertson playing on "Sun Dance", an added track on Charles Lloyd's Of Course, Of Course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 My Ellington shipped this week. . . wish I were home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Does anyone know what the story is with Robbie Robertson playing on "Sun Dance", an added track on Charles Lloyd's Of Course, Of Course? Wish I'd noticed that before. I saw Lloyd last week. He was signing his new cd at my (and his) local Borders. It would have given me something to ask him.

montg Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Does anyone know if these are limited to a specific number of copies like the sets? Or is the productin run more open ended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyStitt Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Does anyone know what the story is with Robbie Robertson playing on "Sun Dance", an added track on Charles Lloyd's Of Course, Of Course? I wondered about this too. I figured it was just another instance of Lloyd's involvement with non jazz musicians, like when he started his career with B.B. King & Bobby Bland or having the Beach Boys involved with a 70's LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Does anyone know if these are limited to a specific number of copies like the sets? Or is the productin run more open ended? Per Mosaic, they are not limited (at least by number). See this post.

The extra cuts from early 1965, including "Sun Dance", were produced by John Simon, who later produced the first two Band LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 The Ellington is quite nicely done. Looks like a Mosaic. . . labeled a Mosaic. . . Sound is what you would expect from a Columbia cd remastered by Mark Wilder. Original liner notes, and new notes by Scott Wenzel. It's a great swinging little session.

Uncle Skid Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I just received the Ellington single this morning. Very nice session. Lon, does your CD have the copyright printing extending into the clear area of the CD? Looks like the printing on mine was off somehow. A very minor issue -- just curious.

jazzbo Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Mark, yeah I think so. I was home just about 20 hours over Friday night and Saturday afternoon; now I'm back in Houston for the week with my wife's treatment. I listened to the cd a few times in my stereo system (how I miss it) and then loaded it into iTunes on my iBook. It did have printing on the cd that I remember running right towards the center.

Dan Gould Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I can't remember if I posted this earlier in the thread, but I got the J.J. album last year from the Andorran pirates and highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluerein Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Dan: are you sure about the Andora pirates statement? I have a legitimate RCA Spain release of the JJ. It's also produced by Jordi Pujol (of Fresh Sound "fame") but these issues have nothing to do with the Pirates you're thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just repeating the preferred name that one of our European friends gave them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
