sidewinder Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Good deal on the Turrentine - nothing to tempt me here unfortunately. Quote
king ubu Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 The Parker finally... the Turrentine, the Hampton and throwing in a Select (Bechet or Hutcherson) I'd be under 300$ and the $ is worth sh*t... got to think it over. Quote
Ian Bradley Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 I sprang for the Hampton - mainly because of the Ellingtonians featured direct from the original metal parts! Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 I sprang for the Hampton - mainly because of the Ellingtonians featured direct from the original metal parts! The Hampton is very enjoyable if you like pre-WWII jazz. Lots of Ellingtonians; Hodges, Cootie Williams, Webster and Harry Carney. There's also a session with a young Dizzy with Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Chu Berry and Benny Carter. The sound quality is TOP NOTCH (I don't think I've heard a better Mosaic set of this period. Also, later in the set there is a session with Marshal Royal, Ray Perry, etc. that is swingin' Lots of good stuff, and as I said, if you like 30s-40s small group jazz with vocals, you'll love this set. It's a steal at this price.I'll probably be getting the Jazz Crusaders box, I've got the Hampton and Turrentine boxes which are GREAT! Of course, I don't have the Charlie Parker boxed set yet, and maybe I'll finally get around to ordering that too. NOTHING LIKE A MOSAIC SALE!!! Quote
Dave James Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 For all intents and purposes, free shipping. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Quote
BFrank Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) How about Jazz Crusaders? BTW, should someone tell them how to spell "Regularly"? [update: looks like someone did] Edited August 18, 2011 by BFrank Quote
crisp Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the heads up. I went for the Jazz Crusaders and, since it was covered by the shipping, threw in the Bobby Hutcherson Select for good measure. Quote
B. Goren. Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 The only set I dont have in my collection is Charlie Parker and I'm still sitting on the fence and hesitating whether to order it or not. It is really beyond me how come that Stanley Turrentine's set is still available. Quote
J.A.W. Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 It is really beyond me how come that Stanley Turrentine's set is still available. The continuous availability of the Hank Mobley set (not part of this sale, by the way) is even more remarkable. Quote

Yes, I wish I understood exactly what kind of license they have (no time limit, only quantity?) and why they can't produce more of the LP version. Quote

They're pretty good about responding to emails. gregmo Quote
RiRiIII Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Just ordered the Hampton and Lunceford sets! Quote
tjluke68 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 I have the HAMPTON & JAZZ CRUSADERS in my shopping basket and I don't see any Free Shipping... Quote
Lush Life Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 I have the HAMPTON & JAZZ CRUSADERS in my shopping basket and I don't see any Free Shipping... The person who suggested that did not literally mean this sale included free shipping. What he meant was that the size of the discount was equivalent to getting free shipping. Quote
tjluke68 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks. Figured that out after reviewing the purchase for a few minutes. Hope the sets come soon. Quote
RiRiIII Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 Just ordered the Hampton and Lunceford sets! ...which arrived today... #127 for the Luncerford and #4816 (!) for the Hampton set! Quote

Those are two GREAT sets! #4816, that means the Hampton might be moving to the "Running Low" category soon....Get it while you can everybody! I was ASTOUNDED with the sound quality on this set, and the music is very enjoyable. Some of the best uptempo Hodges playing I've heard. Also, you can't beat a horn section of Benny Carter, Chu Berry, Coleman Hawkins and Dizzy!!! Quote

Fabulous! Edited September 27, 2011 by Alexandros Quote
