king ubu Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks a lot! That's about an hour of new music... not sure if I really have to buy all of it again, but it DOES look tempting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks a lot! That's about an hour of new music... not sure if I really have to buy all of it again, but it DOES look tempting! I guess some of us can always stick the new CDs in the Mosaic black box.

king ubu Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 ah well... the "Stepping Stones" LP is a bit large to be squeezed (squozen?) in there... but then with the missing track being on the bonus disc, it's superfluous. I'd still love to see a 2CD edition for those who have the Mosaic and all the other material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Interested to know if there is any new mastering on the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'm pretty sure these are all being remastered by Wilder/Triani. Hence, different than the Mosaic, and definitely better than Wounded Bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Is the track 'Teotihuacan' which was an out-take from For Sure! that was in the Mosaic Box but not the Wounded Bird reissue included? Thanks, Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 fwiw, Head Man started this thread, & WIII stopped by to elucidate upon the OP's original curiosity, for which I myself am thankful, if for no other reason than I'd not have thought twice about even considering this set, having pretty much already having all the Woody Shaw that has been had to get. But I ain't got tired yet... OTOH, WIII, please understand that this \board is regularly hit upon by "strangers" who do nothing but show up and pimp, "street team" types and other odious vessels of vacuity. It's been a while, I think, since you've been here, so Ted can be forgiven for not realizing that you are family with a pride in the product for both personal reasons as well as business. As far as the Mosaic set goes, it was reasonably priced when it was still in print (and it stayed in print damn near forever, thank you MC!), but now it's not, and prices are no longer reasonable. I myself think it's both good business and a good deed to make a move to restore this material to general circulation and to bring some added value in the process. Of all the people in this music who should never be forgotten but well might be without an ongoing energetic effort to keep their work in the marketplace, Woody Shaw is definitely on the list, and pretty high up on it at that. Woody Shaw was a baaaaaaaddddd man, more than many realized then, damn sure more than most realize now, a giant in a time when there were still giants. Today, in a time when midgets seem normal-sized and normal-sized seem like giants, I for one want to have some people around to keep a realistic sense of scale in place. Woody Shaw is for sure one of those guys. Everybody cool with that? Can't agree more I'm down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'm pretty sure these are all being remastered by Wilder/Triani. Hence, different than the Mosaic, and definitely better than Wounded Bird. So say the notes! Is the track 'Teotihuacan' which was an out-take from For Sure! that was in the Mosaic Box but not the Wounded Bird reissue included? Thanks, Bertrand. Yes, it is included.

Kyo Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I will say that the booklet sets a new low for being incredibly hard to read - tiny font and often set against a background that essentially makes it disappear. I got my copy today and the booklet is not only perfectly legible, it never sets any text against any kind of background unless you want to count a bunch of photo captions (and while the font is even smaller there, I can read them just fine). After reading your comment I was expecting large amounts of tiny text set against visually problematic backgrounds (as was the case with some of the terrible Miles Davis box sets), but this is not the case with the Woody Shaw set at all.
