J.A.W. Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) A heads up: several Mosaic sets and a couple of Mosaic Singles are running low. One Mosaic Single is on the last chance list. Edited October 4, 2011 by J.A.W. Quote
B. Clugston Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Don't miss the Onzy Matthews Select. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Don't miss the Onzy Matthews Select. The Onzy Matthews Select is great! It took repeated listens to really enjoy it. Great composer/arranger and his bands were top notch. I see that the Jonah Jones is Last Chance, thoughts on it? Don't have it. Quote

Just listened to the sound samples liked them but not crazy about them. Might change my mind... Quote
Tom 1960 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 I've come across many positive responses to the Onzy set. Don't own it yet. Oh boy. What to do? Quote

It appears that the Jonah Jones is also available as an MP3 download at Amazon, and that's probably the route I will take (in the next couple of weeks perhaps). Quote
sidewinder Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) The Onzy Matthews Select is definitely worth getting. Anyone who enjoyed the Gerald Wilson big box will probably give it the thumbs up. I haven't got the Jonah Jones single either and will possibly pass - unless someone adds a post raving about it.

Clunky Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 It's the Tolliver set I'm wondering about Quote
sidewinder Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 It's the Tolliver set I'm wondering about No brainer. Unmissable ! (or you could take the Strata-East vinyl route) Quote
medjuck Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Gotta admit I want the Jonah Jones set for nostalgia. When I was a kid and before I was into Jazz I bought several of his Capital "Muted Jazz" records. When I started learning about jazz I was surprised by his history. Similarly, I first heard of Cozy Cole when he had a recording of Topsy on the hit parade in the '50s. (Actually I think the hit was "Topsy Pat 2" the flip side of a 2 part record that had his drum solo. Quote

mjazzg Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 It's the Tolliver set I'm wondering about No brainer. Unmissable ! (or you could take the Strata-East vinyl route) another vote for the Tolliver. marvellous stuff. If you're at all tempted, then jump Quote

colinmce Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 I have the Jones on LP and adore it. If you like swing, you will too. I have considered upgrading to the CD and likely will now. Quote
BFrank Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Another HUGE thumbs up [ :tup ] for the Tolliver set. This stuff is SO good! I was a little underwhelmed by Onzy, actually. I gave it a few listens expecting to have that Gerald Wilson-like energy, and it just didn't hold up for me throughout. There were some nice moments, but ultimately I ended up trading it. Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Posted October 6, 2011 There are about 270 copies left of the Onzy Matthews. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) The Jonah Jones is gone. I guess last chance, truly means last chance! Here today, gone tomorrow. I didn't bite the bullet, the music samples sounded nice, but I have a ton of music and this was lower on the priority list to purchase. I will certainly remember once something goes on last chance to buy! It's been a while for Mosaic to have so many sets running low. I certainly hope that means more new sets!

king ubu Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Sent in an order but haven't yet heard back... want the Onzy Matthews badly (and am positively surprised to see it selling so well!), have the Tolliver, want the Rich, maybe the Jones (if they had one on the side already... not sure about that, but no biggie if I miss it, have a pair of CDs and an old Capitol LP and I guess that's enough of that, really).

mikeweil Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Just ordered the Onzy Matthews - that's the only one on my wish list from those issues. Sure didn't want to miss it. Quote
