ASNL77 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I have just received the LP set I bought on Ebay. It is going to be a J.J weekend here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 It is really difficult avoiding the "turd in the punchbowl" role. I never "got" JJ. That attitude has saved me some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Actually, I can kind of dig where you're coming from, Chuck. What J.J.J. did was technically impressive, but kind of doesn't sound like a trombone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthsj Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) Hmmmmmmmmm ... I must admit I feel sorry for anyone not "moved" by the opening of "Hello, Young Lovers" from this set .... pure (bop) jazz trombone at its absolute best .... But, different strokes .... that's what makes art ... In this vein I must confess that I have never "gotten" the mystique surrounding Wayne Shorter as a player, who I find boring, although I do like his compositions; and I just do not "get" the enthusiasm for Lee Morgan's "lotsa notes without a coherent theme" playing (Art Farmer is my man!) ... so throw bricks ... I am ready ... Garth, Houston. Edited May 13, 2006 by garthsj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Boy that was quick at the end. Lucky I managed to get #4932 last week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I've got this set and I like it in parts but it's not like it's a must set for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John L Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 That is pretty much my feeling too. The music is consistently at a very high level. The arrangements are excellent, and every note and beat is in its proper place. This is bop at its most prim and proper. I enjoy it in small doses, but have trouble staying with it too long.

Matthew Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Well, each one has his/her own tastes, but I like the arranged quality of the music, sometime I just get tired of the unision head/solos/head format that a lot of hard bop falls into. It's very enjoyable to me to listen to JJ's arrangments and hear the different ways he presents the music. I'm very glad I got this before time ran out.

BFrank Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 So who on this board got the highest numbered set? The REAL question is: Who on this board got the LOWEST numbered set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garthsj Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I am never sure that all Mosaic sets are shipped in some sort of rational numerical order. For instance, I got this set as a preorder the first day it was available, and my number is 1204 ... I guess that there might have been 1200 others just pining away for this great material ...

medjuck Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Did you get it on cd or Lp? Maybe the first 1000 were for which version you didn't get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthsj Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Joe, I switched to Mosiac CDs about 1996 .... I still have the Buddy DeFranco and Shorty Rogers sets on LP ... but I no longer own a record changer ... anyone open for a swop for the CD sets?
