soulpope Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) To me it`s generally good news that Mosaic is again dealing with "more recent" (as far as late 70`s/early 80`s qualify reg that matter) recordings......for sure interesting, to which extent (if at all) unissued material will be available.....

Brad Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well, I may value the material more than you and think it's a good choice as far as material. . . . But beside that, these sessions have NOT been on cd before and that makes me thing this is a smart choice for Mosaic. I think this is a great choice, as noted. The sessions I've listened to are superb, IMHO of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Not really feeling the need for the Sal Salvador "fusion" dates, but other than that...not sure if I have the entire catalog on vainly, but do have most of, but it's used vinyl, in some cases well-used vinyl, so this will be an upgrade. And it's a fine, fine catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) 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. I believe you will see some action in the future from the Xanadu catalogue, but not from Mosaic. Oh.... do tell! Zev Feldman is going to be reissuing several Xanadu titles next year on the Elemental Music label, Edited December 3, 2014 by marcello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 A few months ago Jim Neumann contacted me for advice on an offer he had received from a label. I gave him Cuscuna's number and suggested he contact Michael. Seems to have born results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Wow - I have a couple of the LPs but would definitely think about buying a Mosaic of this, especially if it's done in a way that honors or exceeds Beehive's original intent.

AllenLowe Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 is Zev Feldman French? I know that Schlitten, who I like but who is a pain, has complained about prior French Xanadu reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak to the personal side of things, but he did the recent 1965 Jimmy Giuffre thing, which was very well done on all counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I have the Sal Salvador dates and they don't sound like fusion to me. I actually bought "Starfingers" twice. The first one I bought skipped a few seconds into the first track on side 1. The second one skipped in the exact same place (on two different turntables). I figured that it was a pressing defect so I looked at the second one under a microscope and found a piece of sludge molded into the groove. I picked that chunk of plastic out and now there's a pop but no skip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Cohen Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi Everyone, Thank you for your interest in the Complete Bee Hive on Mosaic. I had the great honor of writing the liner notes to the set, so I can shed a bit of light on this topic and clear up some of the misconceptions that have been posted on this thread. The 12-CD set will include everything that Bee Hive recorded, including the Johnny Hartman album. And since Mosaic is always exacting with its audio fidelity, the Hartman LP has been restored to its original great sound (On the "Bridges of Madison County" soundtrack some fool set those tracks at the wrong speed). Also, as you can expect, the set will include tracks that have been previously unreleased and very lively photos from the sessions (Bee Hive producers Jim Neumann and especially his wife Susan Neumann were great about saving slides from the dates). The liner notes also include new interviews with about half a dozen musicians who recorded for Bee Hive, including Curtis Fuller and Norman Simmons. No fusion dates were recorded for Bee Hive, and you'll be able to read about the Neumanns' advocacy for original music within the acoustic bebop tradition in the notes. Michael Cuscuna and the folks at the Mosaic office have a better sense of the release date. All I can say to that is, hopefully soon! Best, ---Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) This set sounds as though it will be an absolute 'blinder' - thanks for the update ! I suspect that this one will be in the grand Mosaic tradition of Commodore, Master Jazz Piano etc. Edited May 20, 2015 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
