jazzkrow Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Got laid off at end of last month, so with household expenses, etc. I thought it might be time to sell a Mosaic or two.. Therefore: I have a new sealed copy of the European issue of the Oscar Peterson 7 CD Clef/Mercury set. The box is completely sealed. I think there was mention that the booklet was not numbered, but as we know it is identical booklet and sealed CDs to the American issue. I think $70 plus shipping is reasonable. (SOLD) ADDED 3/19: John Coltrane- Side Steps Sealed 5 CD box set- $40 plus shipping Miles Davis-Complete Jack Johnson- 5 CD mint set- $45 plus shipping I have a mint Mingus 4 LP 1959 CBS set and a HRS CD set that I am considering selling as well. Please PM me if interested to discuss. Funny, just before getting the ax, I was on the hunt for a Shorty Rogers CD Mosaic set, but never found one at a affordable price. Bummer, being out of work, but if I can hold on through the Summer, I'll be old enough to tap into a retirement IRA account with no tax penalty. It's strange, you always hope you'll be able to avoid a job loss in this bad economy-but then it catches up to you. Since I have been out of work, I've already heard about several friends/acquaintances who have been let go as well. It sucks. Also very odd to wake up daily with no job to go to. And thank goodness for Unemployment which will help somewhat in getting by. And glad my wife has me on HER health insurance-especially after a 7 bypass surgery in 2005... Thanks for letting me moan here... -Jeff Edited March 19, 2012 by jazzkrow Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) I wish you well on your job search. It's so hard being between jobs and I hope you can keep your spirits up. I've been noticing that there seem to be more jobs out there. Edited March 17, 2012 by AfricaBrass Quote
jazzbo Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Jeff, here's hoping you find something soon. Chin up and best of luck. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Jeff, here's hoping unemployment is only a brief inconvienence for you. Good luck with the sale. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Sorry to hear this - good luck with your search. From what I hear it looks as if things are starting to pick up in the US so hopefully some of that will rub off. Quote
brownie Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Jeff, hope things will turn around very soon and you'll be able to acquire fresh Mosaics! Quote
.:.impossible Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Really sorry to hear this Jeff. Let's hope you find something soon and are kicking yourself for not enjoying your time off more! Quote
JSngry Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Hoping that you land on your feet, and stay there. Do you have a Maynard CD set you'd want to part with, by any chance? Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Sorry to hear about your situation. Quote
jazzkrow Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Posted March 18, 2012 "Do you have a Maynard CD set you'd want to part with, by any chance?" Jim: If I had a Maynard Ferguson set, I'd be able to cover my expenses for a month... I'm holding onto my Hodges LP set and Thad/Mel CD set until the bill collectors break in the house. However, if someone here with big pockets has to have the Parlan Mosaic in LP form... Quote
jazzkrow Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Posted March 18, 2012 Dropped price on the Oscar Peterson Mosaic (new and sealed) to $70 to facilitate a sale. Quote
Eric Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Dropped price on the Oscar Peterson Mosaic (new and sealed) to $70 to facilitate a sale. PM sent Quote
Pete C Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 I feel your pain. I was unemployed three times between 2002-2007. It was only a career change (back to an earlier career) and a considerable drop in compensation (due to the differing pay scales for the two careers) that got me back to work, hopefully for the last job of my life.

jazzkrow Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Posted March 18, 2012 Eric: PM sent back to you... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Good luck! I'm a little tight these days myself, else I'd jump on the HRS. Quote
alankin Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Good luck to you Eric. (I got a layoff notice about a year ago, but was luckily able to find a job.) Quote
lipi Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Best of luck! I have both the Peterson and the HRS. I recommend both highly. The latter is one of my favourites. Quote
jazzkrow Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 The Peterson Mosaic has been SOLD to Eric. Thanks! I've got an extra box set (sealed) of Coltrane's 5 CD "Side Steps" for $40 or Miles' Jack Johnson box set-mint- $45- if anyone needs either of these (plus shipping at cost) Send me a PM if interested.

jazzkrow Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 Added a Coltrane box set-sealed and Miles' Jack Johnson 5 CD set.... Will add a late period Bill Evans set in the next few days. Quote
ElginThompson Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Jeff - hang in there and keep listening to music to soothe the soul. Quote
