colinmce Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Any Mary Lou set would be very valuable. Still waiting. Seems a natural fit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here but I'm still hanging out for the Giuffre and/or Konitz Verve sets that were mentioned by Michael years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I wish Mosaic would do a John Carter box. I can foresee difficulties in obtaining the various rights, but such a box set would have a lot of artistic value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bivins Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Enthusiastic agreement on Carter! I've just been writing about Roots and Folklore for a book I'm completing and I can't believe how criminally overlooked Carter remains.

Jason Bivins Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yes, and thanks for the interest. As more than a few people on the board know, my day job is professor of religious studies. There's never been a decent book written on jazz in American religions, so I've written one. Oxford will be publishing it in 2015, likely in the spring. I'll start some kind of self-promotional thread when the time comes, I suppose, but Carter appears in a chapter focused on musicians who engage African-American religious history as such (so, Carter, Ellington, Marsalis, and in a different inflection, Mingus, Roach, Shepp, and Fred Ho).

Chuck Nessa Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'd wondered how that was coming. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I knew Betty and if she was alive, you'd get a "FULL SET". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 My personal dream set from Mosaic would have everything by the Muscle Shoals/Memphis hybrid band Atlantic assembled for a few choice sessions in '66-68. Most famously for aretha's first few for the label but also for an album and a half for Wilson Pickett, King Curtis Plays Great Memphis Hits, and one from Solomon Burke. (I don't have the albums or a discography in front of me but the defining aspect would be the exquisite and unusual combination of drummer Roger Hawkins from Muscle Shoals and bassist/guitarist tommy Cogbill from the dusty in Memphis band.) Make a nice Mosaic select. Still my wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Luis Russell, Bob Crosby -- perhaps they could be combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Ok, fantasy wish - Mosaic gets, culls, and releases Paul Bley's private tapes, everybody makes money, and there comes world peace. In that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 In that vein - even though it will probably never happen - I'd like to see Mosaic work with Ornette to release some of the unreleased material that he's stored away over the years. Something like the Bird Benedetti box, but perhaps less inclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Still waiting on the Bobby Hutcherson/Harold Land set. When I suggested it to them several years ago, they said they were actually already trying to do it, but it never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybert Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm sure all this stuff is findable but my lazy/cheap self would love a set of Ornette's stuff from say Soapsuds, Soapsuds through to Virgin Beauty. pretty much his late seventies and eighties stuff excluding obvious stuff like Song X. Wouldn't mind getting Body Meta and Dancing in Your Head in better sound so you could throw those in too to flesh it out. Would be great to have In All Languages in better sound but apart from that i haven't heard most of the stuff from that period. Where are all the billionaire jazz fans? If i was one i would commission Mosaic to make stuff happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Complete Arthur Blythe on Columbia. Some of the better albums are not available on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Complete Alberta Hunter on Columbia. Perhaps better suited for a Select. Still, Sony put out a video of Live At The Smithsonian; perhaps that could be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
