brownie Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Michael Cuscuna who is currently in Paris for the release of the superb book of Francis Wolff photos by Flammarion/Yellow Korner mentioned at a news conference that Mosaic was planning to put out a Beehive box in 2015. All Beehive sessions would be in included except for the Johnny Hartman disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Man Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm not familiar with what was released on Beehive ..... but I guess that's the attraction for Mosaic. Highlights anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Now this is some great news. I have Starfingers on LP, but otherwise don't have or have even listened to the rest of the catalog. Some great looking sessions. I haven't been doing a lot of pre-ordering from Mosaic lately, but this might be an exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 This is a case where not having the original cover art won't be a problem,. Seriously this is an intriguing collection, labels anthologies always fascinate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been doing a lot of pre-ordering from Mosaic lately, but this might be an exception. Yes, it is good news. A real bonanza for bop fans. I don't know what the unidentified sessions are but I have 5 or 6 of theses sessions on LP. On the other hand, I didn't know there were so many releases. This looks like a 9 or 10 CD set. Wow!

JohnT Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Michael Cuscuna told me it would be 2 6-cd box sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I only have the Junior Mance/David Newman on LP, and it's quite good. I'm definitely interested in this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I was going to list highlights. . . but every one that I have heard (most of them) is very good. These are going to be great Mosaic sets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 It'll be my first Mosaic purchase in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've never been wowed by any of what I heard on this label, even though the personnel stood out. I'm on the fence, probably leaning toward passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the fence, probably leaning toward passing. I'm pretty much with Felser on this. For me, the Hartman was one of the highlights of their catalog, and that's not included.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Finally!! I've been trying to get Michael to do this for years and years. I've even asked Mark Sheldon to work on getting owner Jim Neumann to do this with Mosaic. I am very happy that this is coming to fruition. There's some great stuff in that catalog.

Clunky Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've a modest number of these on LP and I've not heard a dud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Not a dud that I've heard, at least not yet. I've picked them up whenever they've shown up. And the Dizzy Reece w/Clifford Jordan & Charles Davis is serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I only have the Junior Mance/David Newman on LP, and it's quite good. I'm definitely interested in this set. That's the only one I have, too. I was quite excited when I saw the thread title, but looking at the list that Soulpope put on earlier, I see the only other one I'm interested in is the Arnett Cobb. Oh well. Better start looking on e-bay. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 This is just the kind of set for Mosaic. Often Mosaic sets include things that have already been reissued on CD. But the Bee Hive material has not, to my knowledge, shown up on CD anywhere. Another similar concept would be for Mosaic to put together a set of the many Xanadu sessions that have not made it to CD. Some Xanadu things were reissued on CD, but a large number have not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parroja Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Michael Cuscuna told me it would be 2 6-cd box sets. So it will be 2 separate mosaic sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume because it was issued over the two "Bridges of Madison County" soundtrack cds from that movie? gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
