mikeweil Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) The Pearson and Amy Selects arrived today - glad I got them, very good music. Enjoy ! Certainly glad I got the Pearson, that one holds together as a coherent set very well. As usual, I started to pull the duplicates from my shelves - I always sell them as space is limited - and almost fainted when I found out that I had sold the Pearson vinyl years ago! The one Rare Groove CD was all that's still there ... Imagine that set had sold out as well before I got it! I'm really glad some good spirit made me keep the two Johnny Richards Roulette LPs ...

mikeweil Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 Speaking of customs: This time I had to pick them up at the customs office at the other end of town, and bring an invoice (they accepted Mosaic's e-mail). I paid € 11,85 import tax for a value of $ 100 (€ 62,36) for the two sets. No customs fee - they didn't claim those € 2,18 as they were below their limit. Quote
Dave James Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 The Mosaic website has been updated to provide projected arrival dates for the boxes that have been on back order. The Johnny Smith, Jazz Crusaders and Lester Young sets are now expected back in stock by mid to late October. The Benedetti Parker not until 2010. Everything else in November. Unless you've had your eye on just the Parker set, this is good news. Up over and out. Quote
ASNL77 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks for the update. Next on the radar for me: Woody Herman, Chu Berry and the Lionel Hampton sets. Quote

tranemonk Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) The Lionel Hampton is a must have!... I'd move that one up on the list.... :excited: Thanks for the update.

Guest Bixieland Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Not good news for me either Quote
Matthew Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Mosaic owns outright the Benedetti Parker Tapes, so I think you can safely assume there will be another run. Quote
bertrand Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I don't see the same info. I want to get the Hutcherson, and they are saying not until 2010. This is looking very bad for them - they are losing tons of business. Bertrand. Quote
mikeweil Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 If the H.R.S. box is still available in two weeks, I will order a copy ... Quote

I do not know a thing about running a record company, and maybe Chuck would know the answer to this, but would not Mosaic have insurance to cover all the lost tapes and the lost business? Quote
Guest Bixieland Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 If the H.R.S. box is still available in two weeks, I will order a copy ... I think that would be wise. This is looking very bad for them - they are losing tons of business. I don't know, Bertrand. As long as they recoup any loss -- the time/effort/materials put in, etc. By itself, moving inventory, isn't a bad thong. I would think. Quote
BruceH Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Poor Duke Pearson, he doesn't get any respect. . . . (I really like his Select). I, for one, love Duke Pearson. Quote
Bright Moments Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 per lloyd (at mosaic) today - the braxton and the django are in stock. i added these as i snagged the new artie shaw! Quote
mikeweil Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Now that I have the Gerald Wilson, Carmell Jones, and Curtis Amy Mosaics and the Lou Blackburn Imperial on a Blue Note CD reissue all together, I realize what a great job Cuscuna did in documenting this too little known side of California hard bop - the Onzy Matthews Select and the recent Lou Rawls twofer CD on capitol with Mathews arrangements also belong here - I will get me the latter two before it's too late. Sad thing is, once these are all sold out, this music may be unavailable for a long time, as most of the other music he reissued ... God bless Mosaic and Cuscuna.

sidewinder Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Totally agree - Medal required for 'services rendered' in the cause of West Coast hard bop. The Onzy Matthews is definitely on my (perpetually expanding) list. Quote
Clunky Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Poor Duke Pearson, he doesn't get any respect. . . . (I really like his Select). I, for one, love Duke Pearson. I so nearly didn't get the Pearson but finally relented, it's really excellent material , actually quite varied in style. The Phantom is killer BN classic IMO. It really is a most unexpected pleasure and has been played through several times since it arrived a week ago. Poor Duke Pearson, he doesn't get any respect. . . . (I really like his Select).

mikeweil Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 The Phantom is as great as any Rare Groove album - wonder why it never made it to that series. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Water put it out in a really great reissue. Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Posted October 3, 2009 The Phantom is as great as any Rare Groove album - wonder why it never made it to that series. Water put it out in a really great reissue. It was also released in Japan in 1992 (TOCJ-5738). Quote

There was also the wonderful West Coast Classics series that he did through Blue Note in the late 1990s. I think it ended after only a dozen titles (didn't do very well sales-wise, as I recall), but it was a fantastic set of reissues. Quote

Maybe you can do a show about it Quote
spinlps Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 Yep, that was an excellent series. Maybe you can do a show about it I'll testify. I picked up four over the last week or so and just need a couple more to complete the series. Baby steps, baby steps... Quote
