golfcrazy1984 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Here it is!!! http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=251-MD-CD I personally cannot wait, and there are sound clips available Mid-Late November ship date (hopefully). Edited October 26, 2011 by Jazz Nut Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I think this is great its coming out so soon but I have to wonder about a set where all of the recordings are PD in Europe. Just as the Uptown Mingus and others, you know someone will put out the music using these transfers for a tiny fraction of the price. How much will Mosaic be hurt by that? I'm sure Michael attempted to quantify it some way. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I bet this set does well. I think Hawkins is a big draw, this material in Mosaic sound and annotation is a very attractive set for collectors. I'll bet a number are sold by Xmas. Quote
AllenLowe Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Loren Schoenberg did the notes - so they'll be excellent. Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 There'll be a lot of duplication for me, but Mosaic sets are always worth having! Quote

I'm sure Michael attempted to quantify it some way. Mosaic have produced quite a number of sets whose contents are PD here in Europe. To my knowledge the only one that was allegedly duplicated was the Bunny Berigan. So there's hope Pre-ordered Hawk. Quote
colinmce Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 In the past, I maintained and anything and everything stance toward acquiring Mosaics. I've since changed my tune and have decided to stick only to sets that a) contain large amounts of material available nowhere else (Andrew Hill & Carter-Bradford Selects) or that would be almost impossible to assemble from original sources (Tal Farlow) or when this isn't necessarily the case b) artists whom are among my absolute favorite (Hank Mobley, Anthony Braxton, Gerry Mulligan). This is most certainly the latter and I will definitely be getting it. Quote
Quincy Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 What colinmce said works for me. Pre-odered because it's Coleman Hawkins. Quote
B. Goren. Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) I need to check how much overlap there is between this set and the Affinity set with all of his recordings between 1929-1941 (6 CDs), but anyway, I think this set is a must. Edited October 26, 2011 by B. Goren. Quote

I bet the Mosaic will thrash the Affinity as far as sound quality, packaging and booklet go. Quote

I believe on the other thread, someone found it was just under 50 tracks that overlapped with Affinity, which makes it even more of a no-brainer in my case. I just need to come up with the dosh now!

mikeweil Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Okay, I will sell my proper Box ...... or give to somebody else, that's better. Quote
mikeweil Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) The Mosaic contains all of the late 1940's RCA sessions in their entirety - something I always wanted. I will get this, early next year. Edited October 26, 2011 by mikeweil Quote
sidewinder Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) I will get this, early next year. It's on my list too - but 2013/14 as there's quite a few things ahead of it. Edited October 26, 2011 by sidewinder Quote

The sound samples on the Mosaic website are VERY nice, great sound quality. I'm sure the whole set won't be at this level, but I'm plesantly surprised so far. I can't wait to have this set in my hands Quote

David Ayers Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 I'll just wait for the torrent, since that's the protocol on this board these days. Isn't it? Quote
tranemonk Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 I completely don't get it.... I'll just wait for the torrent, since that's the protocol on this board these days. Isn't it? Quote

David Ayers Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 Ah Dan. So *that's* how you charm the ladies. Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 Had no idea you were a woman. But I do believe in equality and women can be jackasses too. Quote
