tranemonk Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 just got off the phone with Mosaic... and because I was curious... I asked... About a year from now... the Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions may/will go into the running low category... the reason I bring it up now... $192.... (I've heard a little bit of it... and I'm saving my pennies....) and once its gone.. this puppy's not coming back.... Quote
sidewinder Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 Only a year? That's an eternity in Mosaic shopping terms ! Quote
RDK Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 Being a broad label-comp, the music is a mixed bag and some of it may not appeal to all tastes, but i feel that this might be one of the most important and scholarly sets that Mosaic has ever done. There's some shockingly good and rather obscure stuff here that you'll probably never see together in one place again. Quote
king ubu Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 Don't miss! The music may not be as uniformly good as on the similar H.R.S. set, but it's the same kind of unique compilation that will most probably never be available again after this one's gone! Quote
Quincy Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 It might be good to keep a scrap of paper near the discs as a reminder to what you've listened to lately along with what you like & don't like. It's such a sprawling set you might accidentally ignore a few discs without it. (I've just now decided to do this myself. ) Quote
Brad Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 Well, I've got a year so not to worry. But it is one that I do want to pick up. Quote
DrJ Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 There's a whole history of jazz in this one set. Definitely I'd suggest saving up and getting it. I can't think of a better Mosaic. Quote
tranemonk Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Posted June 10, 2006 i'm leaning heavily towards it..... What about you Ron S? There's a whole history of jazz in this one set. Definitely I'd suggest saving up and getting it. I can't think of a better Mosaic. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 I bought this set shortly after its release. This is one of my favorite Mosaics. This and the Parker I consider among the most "important." Quote
Ron S Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 i'm leaning heavily towards it..... What about you Ron S? I'm leaning heavily, too--but only 'cause I need to drop a few pounds. Quote
