J.A.W. Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) I just got this message from Mosaic: A WAREHOUSE FIND A few weeks ago our manufacturing plant notified us that they had a few sets on hand for three out-of-print sets. We had extra booklets and boxes and their find is now some jazz fans good fortune as we always aim to put these sets into as many jazz fans as possible. Also please be assured that these are part of the limited edition, as we did not sell out the full edition before the lease for our pressing of the recordings expired. #196 The Complete Capitol Recordings of Woody Herman (6 CDs) - $96 These Capitol recordings feature not only outstanding arrangers such as Neal Hefti, Manny Albam, Bill Holman, Billy May and Ralph Burns but masterful musicians such as Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, Stan Getz, Serge Chaloff, Conte Candoli, Bill Harris and Cy Touff. #197 The Complete Blue Note Horace Parlan Sessions (5 CDs) - $80 "I didn't know much about Parlan except what I had heard and liked on recordings with the Charles Mingus Band. Anyway, I took a chance and discovered that this is a beautiful set all the way through. The rapport of these bands is a delight and I've repeatedly enjoyed all the discs. This is what Mosaic is all about. Thanks." - Customer Review #170 Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions (12 CDs) - $192 "While the horn players like Teagarden, Cootie and Rex, Wardell Gray and Hasselgard are well served in perhaps their best ever surroundings, and Norvo and Kessell are given good platforms, it is the long and dazzling line of pianists that I find most impressive." - Steve Voce, Jazz Journal International Edited July 20, 2009 by J.A.W.

king ubu Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Gee, the Herman once again! Last time this happened, I snatched it up... got all three, all fine ones! Quote
mellowT Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 I remember this is the second go-around for the Herman and Classic Capitol Jazz sets, the second time they've been brought back from the brink of OOPness. The first time I ordered the Herman and it didn't last but 2 hours. Get 'em while they're hot! Quote
B. Goren. Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Gee, the Herman once again! OK Flurin, I ordered the Woody Herman... Quote
tranemonk Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 trying to grab the Herman also... Fingers crossed :unsure: Quote
paul secor Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Just ordered the Capitol. Many thanks to Hans! Quote
J.A.W. Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Posted July 20, 2009 The Herman and Capitol sets are gone. The Parlan's still there. Quote
tranemonk Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Damn that was fast!!! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get a shipping notice soon.... :unsure: I would mildly recommend the Parlan set for those of you interested... The Herman and Capitol sets are gone. The Parlan's still there. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 I wish they would "find" some Stuff Smith sets ! I would mildly recommend the Parlan set for those of you interested... I'll go one further and strongly recommend it. Quote
J.A.W. Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Posted July 20, 2009 I wish they would "find" some Stuff Smith sets ! They wouldn't be allowed to sell them; they had to withdraw the set because there was a problem with the rights. I wish I had known you were looking for this set when a friend of mine was selling it cheaply in his record/CD shop a few months ago. I would mildly recommend the Parlan set for those of you interested... I'll go one further and strongly recommend it. I second that! Quote
sidewinder Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 I wish I had known you were looking for this set when a friend of mine was selling it cheaply in his record/CD shop a few months ago. Damn ! Ah well.... Will pick it up eventually. Thanks for the thought anyway. Quote
Ron S Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 I would mildly recommend the Parlan set for those of you interested... I'll go one further and strongly recommend it. I second that! I third it! Quote
Ed S Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Didn't want to make the same mistake twice - ordered the Parlan. Quote
mellowT Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 I would mildly recommend the Parlan set for those of you interested... I'll go one further and strongly recommend it. I second that! I third it! I'll throw in my highest recommendation for the Parlan set as well. Here's wishing they'd find some extra Elvin Jones sets. That's one I'm kicking myself over when I had the chance, but my jazz tastes were still formulating. Quote
vajerzy Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 I bought the Herman another time they found extras- I like this set- although the CD case came cracked in the package- haven't opened it yet. Quote

BruceH Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 I've already got all three sets. Too bad they didn't find any that I missed. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Crap I want the Parlan set but I am broke as a joke IMO Quote
save0904 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 I just ordered the Paralan, what a nice gift :-) Quote
televiper Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 The Parlan set is fantastic -- I highly recommend it. Quote
J.A.W. Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 To my amazement the Parlan set is still there. Grab it while you can Quote
