Whole batch of Mosaic Selects and Singles running low

[crisp]

Yes, CD definitely. Lossless downloads would be fine if the price were right. Thing is, I don't think Warner has traditionally made much of its jazz holdings, so I'm not getting my hopes up. But you never know. The Roulette Basies are basically what I want.

I'm more optimistic about Universal, but cautiously: the Hip-o label hasn't released any jazz sets for years now.

[David Ayers]

Now Jack Teagarden is about to bite the dust....

[alankin]

Yes, Mosaic just sent out an email adding "The Complete Roulette Jack Teagarden Sessions" to the list of Roulette sets with only a few copies remaining. Grab it now if you want it.

[mjzee]

Are there any other Mosaic Roulettes? Might pay to buy them now, before the email comes.

[sidewinder]

I've enjoyed the Capitol Teagarden set so have gone for the Roulette whilst it's still here. This is turning out to be an expensive and nerve-racking week !

Looks like the Teagarden has just gone..

Had missed the Dinah W. too, alas ... but I'm good on the Tea and the Basies (bought the studio last year, cost some, but hey, you only live once!) - the Ferguson was too expensive for my high schooler's admission back when it went onto the "running low" list, alas, but I was able to hear it, as I was with the Dinah.

I picked up the Ferguson in LP form when it was on 'last chance'. I think it gave the postie a hernia

Ah yes, Maynard Fergson. That's another one I don't have. C'mon, Warner!

I picked up the Ferguson LP set when I did not even have a turntable. I wanted to get the CD set, but they were out. Mosaic offered me the LP set at the same price as the CD and I took it. If I recall correctly, it was a fairly substantial difference in price. Years later, I've got a turntable and am back in the vinyl groove, so to speak. Glad I grabbed the LP set when I was able.

I'm clueless as to who owns what label. So I'm also wondering if any of you think or know of any more currently available sets are going to go OOP over night.

[mjzee]

I just looked at the Mosaic website, and didn't see any other Roulette material.

[Justin V]

I just received an email from Mosaic that the solo Andrew Hill, Tony Williams and Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Mosaic Selects are running low, as well as the Bud Freeman and Jazz Piano Mosaic Singles. I've finally pulled the trigger on the Hill set.

[Rooster_Ties]

I put off getting the solo Hill for ages, but finally got one a couple years ago - and really love it.

And it gets better with repeated spins, as I start to anticipate the shifting themes better.

I'm hardly impartial, but I didn't think I would end up liking the solo Hill set as much as I have. Great listening while I'm at work, which is where I keep my copy. (Didn't spin it nearly as often at home.)

[mikeweil]

Can anyone here give advice on the Freeman?

[Clunky]

Chicago sound of Condon etc. Spirited as much of this music is often described. I'm not enough of an expert to know where it sits with Condonites but it's solid , swinging stuff

How is Pee Wee Russel on this album - I would buy it for him in the first place ...

[alankin]

How's the Tony Williams?

Prompted by your query I played the whole disc tonight, it sounded great, I wasn't especially listening out for Pee Wee but he gets decent amount of space.

The Freeeman is excellent. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a pleasant suprise.

Looks like I will need to pick up the Tony Williams and the Toshiko..

[mikeweil]

I have all of Tony's original CDs, but just ordered the Akiyoshi-Tabackin select.

[BFrank]

I have all of those Tony's on either CD or LP. They're all nicely engineered and IMO very good to excellent performances. Unfortunate that they couldn't fit the live album in there, but the music probably wouldn't fit the 3 CD format restriction for "Selects".

I'm thinking of getting it anyway, though, because my albums are packed up in the closet for lack of shelf space.

That's the spirit! You're getting it because you have already run out of space.

Yes! Good point! (it's complicated ... )

[miles65]

The Dizzy Gillespie small groups sessions set has gone.
