BFrank Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Posted January 18, 2004 Don't do that, Uncle Skid! I hate running with the herd! Me, too. Maybe I won't order one now, just to be different. .... then again ... B) Quote
BruceH Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 This is a case where I'm proud to run with the herd. Sign me up to that list Uncle Skid! I've had the Blue Mitchell set for ages and enjoy it from start to finish. Nothing wrong with the last disc as far as I can see. Essential jazz. Quote
chris Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 Don't do that, Uncle Skid! I hate running with the herd! what are you, Brer Moose? Quote
Uncle Skid Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 OK. I ordered it, dammit! CONFORMIST!!! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 Don't do that, Uncle Skid! I hate running with the herd! what are you, Brer Moose? There's just something about running at top speed knowing that somebody's antlers are about that far from your ass that makes ya nervous, ya know? Quote

BruceH Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 OK. I ordered it, dammit! You won't be sorry! Quote
Big Wheel Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 BTW, my Mitchell set was #3546. Quote
Alec Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 just got mine, #3594 ......and the music is fine! B) Quote
Gary Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 strange, I just talked to mosaic this morning and they said that there are 272 of the blue mitchell set left and 212 of the atlantic new orleans set. Does this mean that Mosaic do not send the boxes out in number order ? As it looks as if we are getting them around about the 3500 region so there should be 1500 left ?? Quote
kulu se mama Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 i believe they send them out in close to numerical order. not all sets reach their full limit. the blue mitchell might have timed out. mosaic leases most of the music that they reissue for a set time and/or number of sets. Quote
Gary Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 Thanks - I assumed because that it was Blue Note the 'timed out' issue wouldnt apply. Just shows i shouldn't assume about things i know nothing about! Now i think of it didnt the Larry Young time out as well? Quote
Out2Lunch Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 (edited) are getting them around about the 3500 region so there should be 1500 left ?? Its been my experience that they do not ship in strict numerical order. Anyway,someone reported that on January 9th, they contacted Mosaic and there were 200 sets left. They were selling at the rate of 30 sets per day. Doesn't leave much time left so............................... Edited January 22, 2004 by Out2Lunch Quote
BFrank Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Posted January 23, 2004 I don't think it means that there are physically 1500 left. I don't think they print all 5,000 (or whatever) at once. They go through various printings depending on the demand and only have so many in stock at any one time. Quote
BFrank Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Posted January 23, 2004 Just received #3599 today. GREAT! Now I've got something to do this weekend. B) Quote
mikeweil Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 I hope mine will make it safely over the drink - got the confirmation letter two days ago. They HAVE to keep one to replace it in case the plane gets dumped! Quote
BFrank Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Posted January 27, 2004 So far, I'm finding disk 2 & 4 to be the most exciting. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 Set # 3561 arrived today. It's much better than I expected, I had only the first three sessions on individual CDs, and the larger ensembles are the real winner for me; great arrangements, good groove! They should have called it "The complete Blue Note Blue Mitchell - Junior Cook sessions", as it was their co-lead band, and cook plays great throughout, I've never heard him better. Quote
street singer Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 Agree with your comment on Junior Cook, Mike. This set was my introduction to him and I'm now ready to hear some more. Suggestions, anyone? Quote
Big Wheel Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 Any word on how many New Orleans sets are left? Quote
Big Wheel Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 Agree with your comment on Junior Cook, Mike. This set was my introduction to him and I'm now ready to hear some more. Suggestions, anyone? Horace Silver's BLOWIN' THE BLUES AWAY is one good starting place. Quote
street singer Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 (edited) Horace Silver's BLOWIN' THE BLUES AWAY is one good starting place. How could I forget about that one...?! Yeah, I've got 'Blowin the Blues Away' and probably a few others where Junior appears as a sideman. What about sessions where he was leader? Suggestions?
