Alfred Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 (edited) Mosaic has added Illinois Jacquet and Chico Hamilton to the Last Chance category! Both sets are great, imo. Buy them now - it's Promotion time! Edited July 21, 2003 by Alfred Quote
Ed S Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 BTW - Anyone have an official count for the Hamilton? Quote
shrugs Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 when was the last time there was a countdown thread? seems like a long time ago.... the good ole days? Quote
vibes Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 I decided to go for the Jacquet. The sound clips are pretty decent, but this will be a stretch for me. I never listen to music from this era, so it should be fun. Quote
Out2Lunch Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 You really can't go wrong with either set and its a sweet time for that promotion! Quote
Big Wheel Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 Damn it, damn it, damn it...I'm thinking of taking advantage of this promotion by getting a 6-CD set and the Art Ensemble box but I'm leaning much more strongly toward the Mobley and Tristano/Konitz/Marsh than I am toward the Hamilton (I don't have any Hamilton, though I have heard Forestorn, one of his recent records). Am I being a fool to let the Hamilton set go? Is there any chance in hell that BN will reissue some of the sides someday? Quote
jacknife Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 (edited) Am I being a fool to let the Hamilton set go? Rule #1: Don't ever let a set go....you'll only regret it later! I have the Hamilton set and it's very laid back but I do enjoy it a lot, especially on a Sunday morning when I'm feeling very laid back. Edited July 22, 2003 by jacknife Quote
mgraham333 Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 when was the last time there was a countdown thread? seems like a long time ago.... the good ole days? good idea shrugs... I've done the leg work (or in this case, finger work) of compiling a list of all of the currently available Mosaic sets --- someone could be responsible for the list and keeping the set counts up-to-date based on information posted by fellow board members. We could keep the list in a separate, clean thread, and members could post what they thought was the highest set count in a separate thread that the list maintainer would check and use to update the master list. So for example - thread 1 would have the list: Artist, Title, Available Sets, **highest know set number provided by board members** and thread 2, would be for members saying they just bought the Horace Parlan set numbered 2017 when someone else bought the Parlan set, they could QUOTE the previous post of 2017 and say their set was numbered 2024 We would need a couple of things to make this work: 1) someone willing to scan the thread 2 posts and update the master list in thread 1 2) some assistance from the BM to allow HTML formatting so that the list in thread 1 was legible (I tried to post the list in simple text format with poor results) I'd be willing to take on #1.... What does everyone think? Is this worthwhile, or does anyone care that much? Should we be less ambitious and simply keep track of the sets on the endagered species list? Quote
king ubu Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 Nice idea, Matt. (But otherwise: we around here are alerted in time anyway when some Mosaic runs out.) Big Wheel: the Hamilton is very nice. His first quintet with Buddy Collette and Jim Hall was very very good, and quite a lot of the set is material with that line up, included some (partially unreleased) very good live sessions. The Katz/Pisano group got a little more mellow, but I like some of their stuff, too. And the originally release Ellington album (as opposed to the recently unearthed "Original Ellington Suite" feat. Eric Dolphy) has both Katz and Collette, and is good, too, in my opinion. vibes: great for you! That's the sort of set Mosaic does the best. And the music is very good, indeed! Was one of my first purchases of music of that era, and it's a good starting point to get you interested! ubu Quote
mikeweil Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 Phew! Just ordered my Chico Hamilton set .... Quote
Brad Posted July 23, 2003 Report Posted July 23, 2003 I called Mosaic just now and they're down to 143 so I guess I'll put my order in today to be on the safe side. I just received a True Blue catalog yesterday (what a coincidence ) so I guess I'll use the promotion. Quote

kulu se mama Posted July 23, 2003 Report Posted July 23, 2003 what is the current promotion? also, does anyone know what the last catalog was? the last one i received was number 49, and i had to ask for that one. i've bought every set (more or less) since the don cherry set, and for some reason i have only received 1 of the last 8 catlogs without asking for it. i've asked over and over why this keeps happening, and all they can do is tell me i am in the computer, and i should be receiving a catlog.

mgraham333 Posted July 23, 2003 Report Posted July 23, 2003 I don't know if thread #2 is relevant because Mosaic doesn't send them out in order. I knew that was the case for the Mosaic selects, but didn't realize it was that way for the full sets. If that is the case, then there wouldn't be an easy way to keep track of where each set was in terms of numbers. Nevermind. Quote

You have a jazz lovin' postal worker on your route. Quote
vibes Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 I just got my Jacquet set in the mail yesterday, and it's #4219 out of 7500. It looks like this one is going to go away long before it ever hits the limit, which is a shame. Quote
mikeweil Posted July 28, 2003 Report Posted July 28, 2003 Phew! Just ordered my Chico Hamilton set .... ..... it will be delivered to my doorstep tomorrow. I ordered on July 22, surface mail to Germany, and it's already here. Incredibly fast service. Now I know what' gonna sweeten my deskwork ..... Quote

Alfred Posted September 26, 2003 Author Report Posted September 26, 2003 ss1, I don't think that you'll have any problems to get the Hamilton set for a fair price on eBay. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 26, 2003 Report Posted September 26, 2003 i was able to score a set, minus disc 2, with the box and booklet. ss1 Quote
