Dave James Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Just got an e-mail from Mosaic indicating that the Lunceford, Rivers and Tolliver sets are now shipping. I haven't ordered any of these yet, but I'm sure many of you have. Well, start counting the days 'cause they're on their way. Edited July 13, 2011 by Dave James Quote
jostber Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 I ordered the Rivers some weeks ago. Looking forward to receiving that! Quote
J.A.W. Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Why another separate thread for these 3 sets? There are already 2 other threads about them... It might be a good idea to merge them to keep all info and opinions in one place. Quote
Dave James Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Posted July 14, 2011 I considered the existence of the other thread and even checked to see if anyone had posted about the release. I found nothing and since that thread was more focused on a discussion of the music, who did the mastering, that sort of pre-release chatter, I thought that rather than bury what some would consider important news, I would put up a brand new thread. Right? Wrong? Who's to say? If you want to merge them I have no problem with that. Quote
Bright Moments Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 i called mosaic today and they told me they were shipping mine right out!!! Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 Just got my shipping notice last night. The Lunceford and Tolliver sets should be in my hands Tuesday!!! Quote
tranemonk Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 Already got my Sam Rivers... If I can squeeze it out next week I might get the Lunceford. Quote
Sundog Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 I considered the existence of the other thread and even checked to see if anyone had posted about the release. You clearly didn't look very close. Either that, or I'm on your ignore list. P.S. Still waiting for my Tolliver. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 If I can squeeze it out next week I might get the Lunceford. Sorry about that. Quote

You clearly didn't look very close. Either that, or I'm on your ignore list. P.S. Still waiting for my Tolliver. Your post was on the sound samples thread. I didn't check that one. Besides, you only referenced the Tolliver release, not the Lunceford or the Rivers. So, it was 2/3'rds deficient. As a result, I only feel 1/3 as bad. Edited July 16, 2011 by Dave James Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Just received the Tolliver and Lunceford sets this evening! Tough decision about which to play first, chose the Lunceford. So far so GOOD! Sound quality top notch! I was concerned because I think the sound on the Artie Shaw and Armstrong (to an extent) is a little thin and harsh. The first disk sounds very good, especially considering it includes music recorded in 1934. First impression is that this will be a set that I will REALLY enjoy. I'll try to piece together a review when I finish with the set. If you like pre-war big band BUY THIS NOW. No regrets! Quote
ghost of miles Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Write-up on the Lunceford (including some remarks from Gerald Wilson) by Jazzwax's Marc Myers in the WSJ: Swing's Forgotten King Quote
B. Goren. Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Write-up on the Lunceford (including some remarks from Gerald Wilson) by Jazzwax's Marc Myers in the WSJ: Swing's Forgotten King Very interesting article. Thanks David. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) #908 has arrived. That's the highest number I've ever gotten in a pre-order. Edited July 21, 2011 by jazzbo Quote
gmonahan Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Number 487 of the Lunceford sets arrived yesterday. Disc One is very nice. Great sound, fun music. gregmo Quote
mellowT Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 From what I've read, now that Mosaic has switched to booklets with the number pre-stamped on the back cover, as opposed to a handwritten number on the inside front cover at the time of shipment, the warehouse pulls a booklet off the shelf without regard to order, similar to how they used to ship Mosaic Selects when the Selects were numbered.

That's not a new procedure, it's been like that for quite a while now. Quote
tranemonk Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Very interesting... I ordered and received the Lunceford set today.. And YES before someone asks for the 1000th time.. Mosaic box sets (not Selects) are sent out in sequential order... I got # 1013... This from a set that just barely started shipping!!! By contrast I ordered the MJQ set a few weeks after it was announced and received #349... Seems like the Lunceford is very hot!! Quote

I pre-ordered mine quite a while ago and received #238, and definitely agree about how they are sent out in sequential order. I have asked Mosaic about that, and that's what they say. Good news for Mosaic!!! The more they sell, the more that they will release. Edited July 27, 2011 by Jazz Nut Quote
