brownie Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 "Kopelowicz"? What is that, Canadian? The next thing you know we'll find out your first name is really "Cosmo"! A very French name by way of ... would be way too long to list all the countries involved in the ancestry! Thought the photo turned out pretty nice. A Mosaic first for me -_- If the published image was just a bit sharper, you'ld be able to recognize Phil Woods, Zoot Sims and Danny Bank in the sax section. Quote
Ron S Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 Thought the photo turned out pretty nice. Obviously! They're using it in the catalogue to sell the set! Quote
tranemonk Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Sound clips are up..... (Should be full-length though.... ) Quote
Ron S Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Posted February 23, 2006 Sound clips are up..... (Should be full-length though.... ) Dude, you're sounding like a preorder junkie. Quote
montg Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Has anyone heard the Pee Wee Russell set? That's one of the sessions I'm most intrigued by. Quote
Free For All Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I haven't heard it, but here's the cover. Quote
montg Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 That's a sweet cover--I think read somewhere that Pee Wee painted it. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Just checking the original LP and yes, it's cover art by Pee Wee Russell. Quote
Free For All Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 "Nice artwork, PeeWee- you OK to drive home, man?" Quote
brownie Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 The cover is marvellous! The album is not bad but I found it pretty frustrating. A combination of talents that did not jell! But Pee Wee could really play up to the end of his career! Tracks are too short, many under three minutes. The final track, a version of Nelson's 'Six and Four' is a highlight of the album. Quote
Guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Hello friends, I finally took the plunge on this set. What won me over was when I listened again to a great song called: 1. St. Louis Blues © 6:08 from the © LEONARD FEATHER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF JAZZ ALL STARS: Ernie Royal, Burt Collins, Joe Newman, Joe Wilder, Clark Terry, Snooky Young (tp, flg), J. J. Johnson, Jimmy Cleveland (tb), Bob Brookmeyer (v-tb), Tony Studd (b-tb), Phil Woods (as, cl), Jerry Dodgion (as. cl, fl), Zoot Sims (ts), Jerome Richardson (ts, ss, fl), Danny Bank (bari), Albert Dailey (p), Eric Gale (g), Ron Carter (b), Grady Tate (d), Phil Kraus (mallets, perc). It is such a great song. Moody and haunting at the same time. I have some other Oliver Blues and the abstract....etc. which I enjoy from time to time. /Shaft Quote
sidewinder Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) The final track, a version of Nelson's 'Six and Four' is a highlight of the album. Indeed - that's a good 'un. Nelson also re-used the arrangement of 'Ja-Da' on another LP ('Live In Los Angeles', I think). Edited February 28, 2006 by sidewinder Quote
Head Man Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Whoa..... good news - the Oliver Nelson boxset is shipping within the next 24 hours! It should be in my sweaty hands sometime next week! Quote
tranemonk Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 I'm actually looking forward to this set.. as Nelson was "underexplored" by Moi... Quote
sidewinder Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 I'm salivating also at the prospect of this one - but I'll wait until the chaps at 'Zwei' have it in stock. Quote
Ed S Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) Up for preorder at CD Universe - $83.99 Oliver Nelson at CD Universe (linked through the board!) Edited March 31, 2006 by Ed Swinnich Quote
HolyStitt Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Can anyone that has this set tell me if the music is comparable to Live from Los Angeles? Quote
JSngry Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Can anyone that has this set tell me if the music is comparable to Live from Los Angeles? In arranging style, yes. The live date is probably a bit more open for solos (it's really a blowing date with the arrangements as frams, that one is), but that'll vary from session to session. And some of the studio stuff is more "involved" writing-wise. Stuff gets pretty "dense" sometimes. But I think it's safe to say that however you feel about the L.A. thing that you'll feel likewise towards the Mosaic material. It's all Oliver, it's just a question of degree. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 Up agsin for me and the rest of the cheapskate Amazon UK crowd to peruse at leisure ! Quote
neveronfriday Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 Up agsin for me and the rest of the cheapskate Amazon UK crowd to peruse at leisure ! Got it. Had completely forgotten about this one. Thanks! Quote
king ubu Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 Yeah, but has anyone gotten their set from UK amazon yet? I've ordered when... seems like ages ago... October 23rd - the new arrival date period commences this Monday... I hope this will not end up another case of British Amazon Monkiana... Quote
sidewinder Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) Mine arrived this morning. Took a week to arrive after dispatch though. Worth the wait though. The music is great - and the booklet essay a very informative read. Edited November 10, 2007 by sidewinder Quote
