jeffcrom Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Received the Capitol set today. Not often I get a second second chance. Thanks again, Hans. To me the Capitol set has always seemed like kind of a strange assortment - some absolutely essential sessions, but also some odd inclusions. I'll be interested to hear what your favorite tracks/session turn out to be, since our tastes line up so often. Quote

Van Basten II Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 I've enjoyed the Capitol Sessions for that reason, was a bit all over the place. Gotta say i'm not a bit musicologist, so i have a thing for listening miscelaneous music instead of going after one constant body of work. Quote
J.A.W. Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 According to someone on the Hoffman forum who called Mosaic today, they found 50 Woody Herman sets, 18 Classic Capitol Jazz sets, and about 100 Horace Parlan sets. The Parlan is the only set left. Quote
tranemonk Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Wow.. 50 Herman sets gone in a few hours! That's impressive... Glad I got mine.. I was told it was shipping on Friday... I don't know if I'll like it.. but I've let one too many go by that I waffled about... Very happy I got a second chance... :excited: According to someone on the Hoffman forum who called Mosaic today, they found 50 Woody Herman sets, 18 Classic Capitol Jazz sets, and about 100 Horace Parlan sets.

paul secor Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Perhaps this mini rush of sales will help Mosaic's financial position a bit and will help with future issues. Quote

B. Goren. Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 I'm still waiting for the shipping notification (Herman). Quote
Peter Johnson Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Me too... I'm still waiting for the shipping notification (Herman). Quote
tranemonk Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 When I called them - they said they were waiting to get the sets from their distributor... They thought the sets would go out Friday... :(hopefully)... Me too... I'm still waiting for the shipping notification (Herman). Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Was there any truth in this? old thread Quote

vajerzy Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Waffling on the Parlan.....I had it before- don't recall what I thought of it......aarrrgghhh.... Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Strange that Mosaic finds over $10K in inventory IMO Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Not unusual for pressing plants to have over runs, shelve them and (if they are nice) eventually offer them to the label. Otherwise they are scrapped. I'd guess this means Mosaic has some partial sets too. Quote
sal Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 I really like the Parlan set alot. Especially the sessions with Booker Ervin. Quote

paul secor Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Received the Capitol set today. Not often I get a second second chance. Thanks again, Hans. To me the Capitol set has always seemed like kind of a strange assortment - some absolutely essential sessions, but also some odd inclusions. I'll be interested to hear what your favorite tracks/session turn out to be, since our tastes line up so often. Decided to listen to various sessions, rather than listen to entire CDs. So far: Zutty Singleton, Bobby Hackett, Paul Whiteman sessions, & the frist 2 Eddie Millers. So far, my impression is that although not everything is timeless music (some is), everything I've heard is at least enjoyable/fun to listen to. I'm glad I finally made the decision to pick this set up. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 That Capitol set. . . I blew my entire IRS refund on it one year (don't get big refunds!) and I'm so glad I did. Great collection of music, really nice booklet (love the silver stripe!) Quote
B. Goren. Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Me too... I'm still waiting for the shipping notification (Herman). My set will go out within the next 24 hours. Quote
save0904 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 I'm also still waiting for the shipping notification. I ordered the Parlan box on 7/21/2009 at 12:32:35 AM EST. Should I get nervous ? Quote
tranemonk Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Just got my shipping notice on the Herman.... I'm also still waiting for the shipping notification. I ordered the Parlan box on 7/21/2009 at 12:32:35 AM EST. Should I get nervous ? Quote
Lush Life Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Not unusual for pressing plants to have over runs, shelve them and (if they are nice) eventually offer them to the label. Otherwise they are scrapped. I'd guess this means Mosaic has some partial sets too. Color me confused. I ordered the Parlan set, and it arrived last week. It's terrific. But how does Mosaic not know whether it is sold out of a set or not? Don't they have inventory control software to let them know what has sold and what has not, ESPECIALLY since every box has a specific number in the limited edition run? And here's what I find doubly interesting/concerning: my box that arrived last week is #3,465 of 5,000. I know they don't necessarily sell them in numerical order, but it raises a little doubt in my mind about the accuracy of their numbering system. How do they keep track of what number to assign a given box? Why didn't they know they'd never sold #3,465? I'm not accusing Mosaic of any shady practices, but it does look a little sloppy and loosey-goosey. Quote
