GA Russell Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 Was Santa good to you this Christmas, musically speaking? I got three boxes: Soft Machine - Original Album Classics Johnny Cash - Complete Sun Masters Sonny Rollins - Complete Prestige Recordings (still in the mail) Quote
Dan Gould Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 I got the latest Houston Person release on HighNote and a Cobra Records two-disc set I've had my eye on for about three years. I've heard so many Cobra recordings by the well-known like Otis Rush but I am very curious to hear the more obscure artists. Quote
ejp626 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 Not too much. I did get the 2-disc reissue of CTI's The California Concert and listened to the first disc so far. Quote
Quincy Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 The JSP Blind Willie McTell box. Terrific stuff! All I had before was Atlanta Twelve String. Quote

Hot Ptah Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) My mother has purchased Mosaic boxes for me for Christmas since the first year that Mosaic was in business. This year she got me the new Ellington box. I also received the Willie Colon and Tito Rodriguez 2 CD compilations in the Fania "Man and His Music" reissue series.

save0904 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 My wife got me the Chet Baker - The Complete Barkley Sessions box set and one of the missing pieces of my Paul Bley collection Paul Bley - Live At Montmartre. Quote
sidewinder Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 I got books and gave music to my dad: Grachan Moncur III - Some Other Stuff - (BN RVG) Paul Bley - Footloose/Syndrome - (Savoy/Gambit) He's happy! Your dad digs GMIII and Paul Bley??? NICE! No kidding. He must be unique ! Quote
Pete B Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) My wife gave me the new Ellington Mosaic. Nothing else =that was enough! Edited December 27, 2010 by Pete B Quote
cliffpeterson Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 I received the mosaic select john carter/bobby bradford. great music!!! Quote
GregK Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 Braxton-Hemingway Old Dogs and the Neil Young Archives (although I think that is more "multimedia" than music, since it's a Bluray set) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 I got books and gave music to my dad: Grachan Moncur III - Some Other Stuff - (BN RVG) Paul Bley - Footloose/Syndrome - (Savoy/Gambit) He's happy! Your dad digs GMIII and Paul Bley??? NICE! Yeah, he does. I think Evolution is more his speed than Some Other Stuff, but he's a big fan of 50s/60s jazz. Quote
paul secor Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 I got books and gave music to my dad: Grachan Moncur III - Some Other Stuff - (BN RVG) Paul Bley - Footloose/Syndrome - (Savoy/Gambit) He's happy! Your dad digs GMIII and Paul Bley??? NICE! Yeah, he does. I think Evolution is more his speed than Some Other Stuff, but he's a big fan of 50s/60s jazz. That is incredibly cool - and probably incredibly unusual. I didn't get any music for Christmas - unless I count the two Okka titles I bought for myself from Chuck the week before. My wife did give me two books that have a connection with music - the W. Eugene Smith Jazz Loft Project book and a book on the art works of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Quote
AndrewHill Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 My wife rules. She just said call Paul's CD's and buy whatever you have on hold and I'll wrap them. So I did just that. I got: Kenny Dorham-Trompeta Tocata-BN RVG Lee Morgan-Vol III-BN RVG Booker Ervin-Tex Book Tenor-BN Conn Bobby Hutcherson-Now!-BN Conn Sun Ra-Disco 3000-Artyard Records Anthony Braxton-Compositon No. 173-Black Saint Art Blakey-Holiday for Skins-BN Conn Thad Jones-Detroit-New York Junction-BN RVG Arthur Doyle & Sunny Murray-Live at the Glenn Miller Cafe-Ayler Records Howard Roberts-Good Pickin's-Verve Originals Sunny Murray/Sabir Mateen-We are not at the Opera-Eremite Blue Mitchell-Down With it!-BN RVG And I have a $50 mazon gift card with Nessa Records written all over it, so yeah, its been a good Christmas! Used my Amazon gift card, and this is what I ordered: Roscoe Mitchell-Congliptious-Nessa Lester Bowie-All The Numbers-Nessa Sonny Rollins-Original Album Classics-RCA/Sony (The one that has all the RCA sides, sans the The Bridge, which I have as a Bluebird 1st edition) Quote
GA Russell Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 HG, the Rollins box does indeed have The Bridge. I got it last year for Christmas. Mine was cheap, and I wonder if a year later yours was even less expensive! I think mine cost $16.99 including shipping, but maybe it was $16.99 plus shipping. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Got an Amazon gift certificate from my mom (she's great) and I bought the out of print Mosaic HRS sessions and Mosaic Capitol Jazz Sessions!!! I got the Capitol set for $189 and the HRS for $150 (a little OOP premium...) I missed out on these when they were in print and have wanted them for a LONG time!!! Looking forward to listening to them when they come in. Quote
Face of the Bass Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 My parents got me the Lionel Hampton Mosaic set, my brother-in-law got me the John Carter/Bobby Bradford Select and the Art Blakey Hard Bop Mosaic single, my sister got me the Dylan Witmark Demos, and I am spending some Christmas money on the Charlie Parker Savoy & Dial Studio Sessions box. Quote
DukeCity Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 I got Vols. 1 & 2 of Ella Fitzgerald, 12 Nights in Hollywood. Really enjoying it, and getting ready to order vol 3 and 4! Quote
mikeweil Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) My wife grabbed Peggy Lee's Classics & Collectibles before I had a chance to open it, and a Scarlatti Oratorio. And she gave me a Christmas CD by a local jazz singer - she had reserved tickets for one of her Christmas concerts as well but due to difficult road conditions we couldn't make the trip ....Reading how many of you got Mosaic boxes set me to thinking .... Maybe I gotta show my wife how to use her credit card on the web, after all. Edited January 1, 2011 by mikeweil Quote
cih Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 The Revenant Albert Ayler box and, at the last minute, the fabulous Bear Family calypso box - West Indian Rhythm - which I've had my eye on for ages and was halved in price at Jumbo Records in Leeds! Thanks Jumbo. Quote
Quincy Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 I got books and gave music to my dad: Grachan Moncur III - Some Other Stuff - (BN RVG) Paul Bley - Footloose/Syndrome - (Savoy/Gambit) He's happy! Your dad digs GMIII and Paul Bley??? NICE! Yeah, he does. I think Evolution is more his speed than Some Other Stuff, but he's a big fan of 50s/60s jazz. That is incredibly cool - and probably incredibly unusual. Makes me wonder if there are any father-son combinations on this jazz board or others. It would be funny if there were and somehow the parties didn't know it. Quote
mellowT Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 This was a somewhat music-light Christmas season for me. I played Santa to myself with the Chick Corea and Sonny Rollins box sets advertised in the box bargains thread. My eldest daughter took credit for wrapping up and reimbursing me for the Corea set. Listening to it now. Quote
AndrewHill Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 HG, the Rollins box does indeed have The Bridge. I got it last year for Christmas. Mine was cheap, and I wonder if a year later yours was even less expensive! I think mine cost $16.99 including shipping, but maybe it was $16.99 plus shipping. Uh oh, I hope not. They had two Rollins boxes at Amazon, which had different pics on the box. They both had the same albums except one box had What's New and the other one had the Bridge. I paid $19.99 for it plus tax. The Revenant Albert Ayler box You're in for a treat! Quote
