mgraham333 Posted December 24, 2003 Report Posted December 24, 2003 (edited) Bob Brookmeyer & Bud Shank/Bob Cooper Expected release: late January Edited December 24, 2003 by mgraham333 Quote
king ubu Posted December 24, 2003 Report Posted December 24, 2003 Thanks! Going from the discographies, I'll get them some day. From the Brookmeyer I've heard none except the "Traditionalism Revisited" album (which I like a lot) and from the Shank/Cooper nothing but the tracks on the "Blowing Country" CD... ubu Quote
GA Russell Posted December 24, 2003 Report Posted December 24, 2003 Thanks for the heads up! It's always great to see items coming from the Pacific Jazz vaults. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted December 24, 2003 Report Posted December 24, 2003 CAN YOU ORDER THESE FROM BORDERS??? Quote
Alfred Posted December 24, 2003 Report Posted December 24, 2003 CAN YOU ORDER THESE FROM BORDERS??? Yes! Late January 2005! Quote
desertblues Posted December 24, 2003 Report Posted December 24, 2003 Pac Jazz releases are always welcome in my collection! The Brookmeyer is a must-have, IMHO. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted December 24, 2003 Report Posted December 24, 2003 no seriously though- arent these "select" cds avail. in regular stores too? Quote
king ubu Posted December 24, 2003 Report Posted December 24, 2003 no seriously though- arent these "select" cds avail. in regular stores too? Yes, but only a year after Mosaic releases them. ubu Quote
Brad Posted December 25, 2003 Report Posted December 25, 2003 Well, I have little Brookmeyer so that looks good but not to sure about the Cooper. I have Blowin Country and it's a tad too tame for me. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted December 25, 2003 Report Posted December 25, 2003 thats weak. what the hell. i like just being able to go get cds. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted December 25, 2003 Report Posted December 25, 2003 if you really like to "go get cds".............................................. that's funny Quote
mgraham333 Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Posted January 7, 2004 Sound clips now available Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Just finished reading the Cuscuna intro to the new Mosaic catalogue. Sounds like the act of assembling these two sets was one massive exercise in hair pulling. Too bad though that we won't get to hear both the stereo & mono versions of 'Slow Freight' on the Brookmeyer set. Quote
brownie Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 Glad to see that Michael Cuscuna of Mosaic included 'Jada' from the Bob Brookmeyer Traditionalism Revisited session that was missing from the Michael Cuscuna-produced CD release of the album in the West Coast Classics reissue series. The classic tune was a very nice Brookmeyer-Jim Hall duo which was not included in the Pacific Jazz CD for unknown reason. Quote
Tjazz Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 thats weak. what the hell. i like just being able to go get cds. The current mail order price is $39/per Mosaic Select. The retail BORDERS price will be $49. Quote
Tjazz Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 no seriously though- arent these "select" cds avail. in regular stores too? Yes, but only a year after Mosaic releases them. ubu Hasn't it been a year since Mosaic Select #1 was released? Quote
Brad Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 According to Mosaic, they're receiving these today and will start shipping today also. Quote
mgraham333 Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Posted January 26, 2004 Just got a receipt/ship confirmation from Mosaic for Select 9 & 10. Merchant : Mosaic Records Date/Time : 26-Jan-2004 03:56:34 PM Quote
Out2Lunch Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 me too! Hope it arrives before all the snow does Quote
jazzkrow Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 I'd love to get some initial opinions on these 2 sets-as I'm trying to decide which one to buy-buying both is out of my budget . Each one of the sets includes a West Coast Classic issue that I already have-"Blowin Country" and "Traditionalism Revisited." I'm leaning right now toward the Shank.... Which contains harder to find material?? thnx Jeff Quote
fasstrack Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 (edited) I'd like to alert people to Brookmeyer's current activities: I watched him rehearse the Germany-based New Art Orchestra last Tuesday and heard them perform Sat. at the IAJE. They'll be hitting at the Vanguard in a few minutes. For me, as a composer, Brook's mastery of orchestral color, his surging swing figures, his pastel and slowly unfolding ballad writing, and so many more things (especially the low-key yet intensely focussed way he conducts and corrects) were a revelation and very inspiring. He tries and brings off so many things. And the guys are crackerjack, walking through demanding doubling as in a park. And Brook himself sounds like wine. His sound gets darker and deeper all the time and he still gets up for it. Naturally enough, he's one of the more compositional improvisors out there but also one of the best at wrapping his sound around a melody. If they should pass through your town, pounce. The guy's a visionary. At 72 (73?) he's one of the youngest people in music. Edited January 27, 2004 by fasstrack Quote
sal Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Like many of us on this board, I'm dying to hear opinions on these sets. Anyone get them yet? Quote
Brad Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Mine just arrived. Unfortunately, I'm travelling so I'll have to wait until Saturday to listen to it . Quote
mgraham333 Posted January 29, 2004 Author Report Posted January 29, 2004 Received both this morning been listening to them in the background all day long. I was trying to expand my tastes with this purchase as West Coast, or cool jazz isn't my usual thing. I had no prior experience with theses artists as leaders. I've been happily surprised by these two sets. First off, no quality control issues here. YEA!! Everything is top notch. Both sets really swing. The sound quality is very good, even on the live sessions. I can't wait to get them home and give them a proper audition. If you know these guys and love the west coast thing, you've gotta grab 'em. Or if you're like me and willing to venture beyond bop, this is good way to do it. Quote
