miles65 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) The Mosaic mail says as subject: last chance. In the mail and on the Website mosiac says running low. Edited June 26, 2012 by Stompy Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 The Mosaic mail says as subject: last chance. In the mail and on the Website mosiac says running low. Actually, the e-mail is inconsistent, with a Subject "Sonny Stitt - Last Chance" and a caption that says "Limited Edition Collection - Running Low".

JSngry Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 "Sonny Stitt"..."Last Chance"...."Running Low"...I guess death is the opposite of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face of the Bass Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 This is IMO one of the best Mosaic sets. I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon of every set, but if I was only allowed to keep five of my Mosaics, this would probably be one of the ones I would hang onto.

tranemonk Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 It's been out there for a long time. Hopefully everyone who wanted it got it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfricaBrass Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I really like this set. It's hard to believe it was the last new Mosaic set I purchased, and I bought it when it was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJ Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Been salivating over this one for a long time - I ordered my copy today (like some earlier posters I hit the panic button immediately when I saw the "Last Chance" subject line in the e-mail from Mosaic!). Really looking forward to hearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) There were a bunch I had on my hunting list that were higher than this but one September they put 5 or 6 sets on a special discount. The high disc count had kept me away so along with the sale price I believe my excuses for buying it were "Well, you have 14 Mobley albums (and a few other tenor leader album counts were rattled off) and just one Stitt? That's not right" and I also noticed the remastered by Malcolm Addey part. I'm so glad I did. Just grab a disc, any disc, and put it in. If I remember right it's not one of those sets with loads of alternates (they have their place). Some of it has that "they're playing in the room" feel, if you ever imagine yourself so lucky to have a band scuff up your listening room furniture. There were other sets I bought that I was more enthused about that haven't been as played as much as this one.

Big Wheel Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Any opinions on favorite discs on the Stitt set? About to start hunting for some of these tracks to see if this set is my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 How's the session with Don Patterson? That's the one I'm the most curious about. Bad thing is, I simply do not have the funds right now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 You guys convinced me. To be honest I don't have any other Sonny Stitt. I just ordered it but I'm running out of shelf space.

paul secor Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Pass. I already have a fair number of S.S. recordings & can't see how this box will make any great difference in my life, so there'll be one more box for someone else to order and enjoy.

David Ayers Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 No sound clips up for this set. That's one way to market it, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
