blajay Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 When I dumped the Pacific Jazz Trios from my cart, I was specifically thinking that when Chuck announces the availability of "All the Numbers," I'll have a nice order for him instead. I'd much rather that, so I'd say it isn't my loss after all, Clever Hans . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I read this thread just before leaving work, so I stopped on my way home at a great local CD store that carries many of the Selects. I bought Bob Brookmeyer (it's on now) and Bennie Green for myself. I also picked up copies of the two no-longer-available sets the store had: Dexter Gordon and Art Pepper. I have offered them privately (at my cost) to John Tapscott and Werf, respectively, since they they were the earliest to post lamenting them. If they don't want them, I'll sell them (again, at cost) to the first board member who wants them. The store had one more copy of the Dexter Gordon, and one copy each of the Pacific Jazz Piano Trios, Duke Pearson, and John Patton. If anyone wants these, I'll go by tomorrow and pick them up if they're still there, which of course I can't guarantee. I'm glad I recently picked up Curtis Amy and the PJ Piano Trios. Jeff, I'm interested in the PJ Piano Trios if no one else stakes a claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tapscott Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I ordered the Gordon, received a confirmation notice. If it is gone, I am surprised that they haven't emailed me to say that. I know it takes about 24 hours from when you place your order to when you receive the shipping notice. If they CAN'T fulfill the order will I get an email in about the same time frame? In any case, I will call or email Mosaic tomorrow. I have the set Jeff offered me on hold for 24 hrs. Thank you Jeff.

Guy Berger Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Well, after this string of bad news I pulled the trigger on the Braxton and Turrentine Mosaics as well as the Blakey Hard Bop single. And if the Hill group sessions ever return I'll get those immediately. I'm also eyeing the Zeitlin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indestructible! Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) I was planning on swinging by Amoeba later today and could take a stab at doing the same. Meaning if anyone wants to commit to one, I'll pick it up for you and ship it, etc at cost. Amoeba tended to sell these for either $45 or $50, plus tax. UNless they already jacked them today, but I would think they'd be too busy with the Beatles release. or maybe I should just buy them for eBay. I saw Os Mutantes at Amoeba yesterday, by the way. Delightful set. They actually have a new album out, released yesterday. There's one to go for! Adam, I was also planning on heading out to Amoeba tonight, but cannot due to a work commitment. I'm looking for the Freddie Slack select and the Johnny Richards select. If you see either/both of these and can pick them up, I'd gladly pay you for them (plus a little extra for the effort, of course). PM also being sent...

jeffcrom Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 A couple of folks have asked me about the PJ Piano Trios set. I regret to say that it has been sold by the store - and not to me. It was there about 4:00 PM EDT, but when I called a couple of hours later to hold it, it was already gone. Sorry - I wanted to help out as many people as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAL Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi folks You may be able to find a few of the Selects at www.cdconnection.com - some may be at a significantly higher price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 There are quite a few Selects up for auction on eBay right now, many right around or slightly less than retail. Get 'em while they last. I'm guessing sellers are going to be asking for a lot more when the next batch of offerings goes up for bid. One other thought. If Mosaic doesn't survive, can you imagine the prices big boxes will be demanding in five years? Yow. Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 This is bad news, but I can console myself that I long ago got the ones I really wanted from that list. The rest I can pretty much live without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I felt that I should order something - just popped for Curtis Amy. I have Katanga and I'm sure the rest is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Ouch!! I've been concentrating on getting the big boxes, figuring I'd have plenty of time for the selects I wanted I just ordered the Slack and the Richards Selects from J&R Music for $52.99 each. I hope they ship! I'm not sure about the Pullen, from what I've heard it's not at the top of my list. I have the Art Pepper on the individual releases--Is the sound that much better on the select? I'd much rather be giving my money to Mosaic. In my world, they are the company too big to fail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Bummer. I had the PJ Trios and the Gordon high up on my "to get eventually" list. I might have to go for the Braxton soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I know this is not the same but the local Fye had one of the original Dexter Cds, which you used to go for a lot before the Select. If anybody wants me to get it, I'll go back this weekend to see if it's still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'm not sure about the Pullen, from what I've heard it's not at the top of my list. You must be listening to the wrong people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 From way, way back in the Night Lights archives--if you want to hear more of the Pullen-Adams Select, you might want to check out this show: Songs Everlasting: the Don Pullen-George Adams Quartet on Blue Note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsrus Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Sorry to hear Mosaic is the victim of some ham-handed move here. A small silver lining for them may be that this unfortunate event seems to have sparked quite a buying frenzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Well, I just pulled a very late trigger on the Pearson, Shank/Cooper and Pacific Jazz Piano Selects. Wish I could have added a Donaldson.. If I had known, I would have bought one for you, Bob. I managed to grab the Washington and the Donaldson before they disappeared... I guess you have most of the music on LPs though. Thanks - not to worry. I can live without the Donaldson as I have all of the music on vinyl (and mainly on originals), which is the reason I didn't pick one up already. After all, we have had quite a few years to think about it ! It would have been nice to have that box for the purposes of convenience though. I think I can live without the Dinah Washington. Most of the Selects that I've wanted I've managed to order too - I think I can live without Freddie Slack. Don Pullen would have been nice but like Hans I've got at least 2 of the sessions on the original CDs. Life goes on !

king ubu Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Gee, I hate all this news - I immediately sent them a mail asking them to hold back some of those for me, but got no reply so far (probably they were flooded with orders)... I guess that's rather a bad sign, but I'd hate missing the Pacific Trio and the Shank/Coop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been better if we'd been able to do something about it but totally beyond control. Very sorry for the hassle all of this mess has created for Mosaic. Hope things stabilise soon.
