Why don't you e-mail Mosaic and ask them to hold the set(s) for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have the Weston Select and am tempted also with the Carmell. I have pretty well most of it on vinyl though. If nothing else, it would be nice to put it on the I-Pod. Any comments on sound quality for the Carmell Jones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Any comments on sound quality for the Carmell Jones? Plain sounding, to my way of thinking. Didn't have any of this material though so was happy to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have 'em both, and love 'em both -- but I especially think the Carmell set is really fantastic. All of the sessions on Disc #2 were arranged by Gerald Wilson (two albums worth), mostly material for larger small groups (like 9 musicians). Don't miss out!!

colinmce Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Dammit, I can only buy one (even though I can technically afford neither). I think it will be the Weston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I really like the Weston. Nice Weston era, and great sidemen! (Hawk, Little Giant, Roy Haynes, Kenny Dorham, Cecil Payne...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 2 thumbs up for the Carmell Jones. At present I don't own any music of Randy Weston and the lineup on this set make it awfully tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I love the Weston. The Jones is also great. The good news is that these have been distributed to other stores than Mosaic, so they may well be out there a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I ordered the Jones because I had none of the music & wnted to hear it. I ordered the Weston because I had pretty much all the music but wanted to be nice to Mosaic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Just ordered the Carmell Jones set - have the Weston already, which is great. I wonder which will be the next to go - I once vowed to order one Select each month, but ... Edited June 24, 2009 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Why are some titles (such as the Hutcherson which I was going to order soon) listed as being on back order? Has this happened with Mosaic before? Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Why are some titles (such as the Hutcherson which I was going to order soon) listed as being on back order? Has this happened with Mosaic before? Bertrand. Yes, this has been the case with several boxes, sometimes for many months (the Crusaders comes to mind). The Weston is a terrific set! The Carmell Jones is fine, too, of course, but if I had to pick just one of these, the Weston would definitely be my choice... great playing by Johnny Griffin, Kenny Dorham, Coleman Hawkins, Cecil Payne, Roy Haynes and others, and on disc 3 you get two of the most fascinating big band projects/albums of that era, "African Highlife" and "Uhuru Africa", both full of great playing by a bunch of soloists, including Budd Johnson, Ray Copeland, Julius Watkins, Booker Ervin, Yusef Lateef, Freddie Hubbard, and many others.

Chuck Nessa Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 These are two (along with the first Hill) are my favorite Selects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being nice to yourself - you will like the unreleased quartet session with Cecil Payne! Oh yeah! One of the big attractions of the Select was to get the live set with Coleman Hawkins, but the session with Cecil Payne...phew! If I wasn't so enthralled when I play it I'd work at founding the Society For The Advancement & Popularization Of Baritone Saxophonists. What a terrific set!

colinmce Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'll be fascinated to see what kind of prices the Selects start to command on ebay. As much as the big boxes? Makes sense, yet seems somehow hard to imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, yet seems somehow hard to imagine. Yeah, we'll see. Well in part it depends how much of the material can be alternatively sourced. How much is the Moncur going for? It's been OOP a while. Only one session from that is otherwise unavailable. The Select series is designed to lure collectors with its prominent numbering system, so you can be sure a certain category of buyer will pay over the odds for missing sets early in the sequence. However, it may be that since many of these sets are of strictly minority interest musically speaking, and also lack the physical attractiveness of the big boxes, that we won't see much of that.

John Tapscott Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Ordered the Weston. Already have the Jones. For anyone on the fence, it's a fine set and well worth getting. Edited June 26, 2009 by John Tapscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
