felser Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm in. Haven't bought a Mosaic in quite a while! You and me both......... Then I highly recommend the Charles Mingus and Clifford Jordan sets to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Good to hear about the Beehive set. Can't wait to get it. Thanks for the update Aaron. Maybe by the fall or late in the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think this will be a fine set. I have several Beehive recordings and enjoy them all. I think Curtis Fuller's "Fire and Filigree" is an under-rated gem. But a big hit, financially. I didn't realize it was going to be a 12 CD set; rather I thought it was going to be 2 6 CD sets.

Aaron Cohen Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I believe the Bee Hive box set will be at a "special price." What that price is, I just don't know. But the reason for a single 12-CD set, rather than two 6-CD sets, was that the producers felt that people would tend to purchase the volume with the titles that are considered widely popular (Johnny Hartman) and not pick up the volume that include lesser-known, yet still very worthy, artists (Dick Katz). When I said to Michael Cuscuna that I didn't know how I could carry a heavy 12-CD box set up a flight of stairs, he replied, "We'll release a special version on 78 RPM records, just for you."

Peter Friedman Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 What makes this set so appealing to me is that I have not seen any of the Bee Hive material previously available on CDs. With most other Mosaic sets I already had some or almost all the music on CD, but not this one. So I am definitely going to be getting this one!

sidewinder Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I like the sound of the 'special price'. Might well pre-order on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I've heard a fair amount of the Beehive releases in the past, always found the whole to be less than the sum of the parts to my ears. So I will pass. But YMMV, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgcim Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Both the Salvadors are fine straight ahead sessions. I had the Starfingers LP and remember being disappointed with Salvador's playing on it, but enjoying all the sidemen on the date. He sounded sloppy and got an annoying, overly treble sound, but the sidemen sounded fine. At least back in the 50s and 60s, he was an excellent technician, but lacked the swing , creativity and subtlety of Raney, Farlow, Bean, Garcia, Kessel, Ellis, Bauer, etc... On Starfingers, even the great technique was lacking. I was discouraged from getting "Juicy Lucy" because of Starfingers, and the horrible fusion LP he made "Crystal Image" (OSLT) made me give up on Sal altogether.

ghost of miles Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Any update on when this is going to be released? Also, the "delayed" listing at Dusty Groove says it's a 9-CD set, as opposed to the 12 CDs previously indicated. Dusty Groove listing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Cohen Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 There have been some technical delays holding up the release of the Bee Hive Mosaic box. But it should, indeed, be 12 CDs once it comes out. Hopefully, within the next few months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Considering the musicians involved, this is really tempting, even though these big boxes are hard on the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'll be preordering this; my first Mosaic preorder. Â I remember when these albums came out, and owned "Fire and Filigree." Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I'm just now listening to the sample tracks on Mosaic's site. One thing about the samples:  The Sal Salvador track is marked as a Ronnie Mathews track -- and vice-versa. ...No big deal. Just thought I'd mention it.I'm looking forward to this set!

ejp626 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Pretty definite that I will end up ordering this set. Pre-ordering? Not necessarily. It may make more sense to wait for a discount on shipping, since it can definitely add up. And maybe I can hold off until the exchange rate is a bit better. Right now it is brutal, but it may not get better for quite some time...

BeBop Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Brother, can you spare 1,690 dimes? I'm a little surprised that no one has "reviewed" it on Mosaic's website yet.  Edited July 29, 2015 by BeBop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Ordered it. My first Mosaic pre-order. I had to do it as this has some of my favorite music that hasn't made it to CD. It will be nice get official digital versions. Some of my needle-drops are only so-so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them are running low and I'll have to wait a bit before getting any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
