king ubu Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Yes, 'Here and Now' came out as a Verve Elite Edition (I have it in front of me). Don't recall ever seeing 'Another Git Together' as a CD other than on the Mosaic though. yup, that's why I bought a dreadfully expensive Japanese vinyl edition of that one - just as good an album as "Here and Now"! Of course that was two years or so before the Mosaic came out... and of course I also bought "Jazztet Plays John Lewis" on vinyl (though a cheap b/w Argo reissue of that one - it's likely my favourite album from the whole set!)

I think I've got all of the Jazztet Argos and Verves (excluding 'Another Git Together') on Japanese vinyl but I'm still crazy enough to pick up the Mosaic . Fabulous stuff. Quote

I also got a b/w Argo reissue of Golson's "Take a Number from 1 to 10" - just for the four pieces missing on the not-quite-CD-twofer... fabulous music, indeed! Quote
J.A.W. Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 Just a reminder that the sale ends in a few days Quote
sidewinder Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 The sale ends today Hans - stop it ! Quote
Quincy Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 The sale ends today Hans - stop it ! And for those of you who don't have the Gerald Wilson... Or for those of you who are getting the running low Gerald Wilson and need to add something on sale to the cart.... Quote
sidewinder Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Like King Ubu I've also decided to go for the Bix/Trumbauer/Tea set with the good shipping deal. Hopefully it doesn't go on that Mosaic banana boat via Sweden. Quote

Hopefully it doesn't go on that Mosaic banana boat via Sweden. Found any spiders between your sets lately? That Bix/Tram/Tea set is great, even though some of the vocals are less than er... let's say "convincing" Quote
sidewinder Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Well - Like Ubu I figured that this was probably the best deal that was likely to come along with this set, if bought from Europe. It's been on my list for a while and must surely be within range for 'running low' in the not too distant future, I would have thought. Twee vocals? - ah well, an unavoidable hazard with this vintage of music. Quote
Clunky Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I've just gone for the Turrentine.........fingers crossed about the sound quality Quote
sidewinder Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I've just gone for the Turrentine.........fingers crossed about the sound quality I've never had an issue with the sound quality of this set. It's a real good one ! Some obscure gems on there too - such as the very fine Liberty-era session with Thad Jones ('Another Story'). Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 looks like they pulled the plug on the website at quitting time .. just when i clicked thru to place an order they emptied my cart and now it is no go. all other linked sites work but not Mosaic. Quote

Why don't you call them now or send an e-mail explaining what happened, they might still give you a deal. Edited July 31, 2008 by J.A.W. Quote

Try it again. I just now placed my order and still got the 15% off. Maybe you just need to re-fill your cart. Hope it still works. I just snagged the Rich and the Turrentine with shipping for $181.00. Quote

Big Al Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I know, but I just visited the site and the 15% off sale was still on. Perhaps the site was programmed to reset any outstanding shopping cart at 5:00 pm EST. I don't know. I just figured if MWTGA tried to re-visit the site now instead of waiting until tomorrow, he might be able to get the deal now. Quote

Man with the Golden Arm Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 all set ... the server for Mosaic did not respond for an hour or so ... True Blue and Contemporary links worked fine but the link back to Mosaic proper stalled and errored .. all good now and my credit card company is happier as well. Now the race is on to beat the rest of the family to the UPS guy. Quote
BFrank Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Ordered the Teagarden. It's totally out of my element, but seemed like an interesting set and I could use a change of pace once in a while. Only 4 disks, so not that much of a committment, either. Quote
