ElginThompson Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 3 hours ago, Dmitry said: Well, I think because most of those who will purchase the Benedetti set now, will do so as an impulse buy. The real Bird lovers have bought theirs a long time ago. So by that logic, we should ignore the fact that I own every authorized/legitimate Charlie Parker recording made available, yet I am a fraud bc I waited until yesterday to acquire Benedetti? Um. Ok.

gmonahan Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm not ordinarily into "out" or avant garde things, but this drama did cause me to order the rapidly disappearing Threadgill Air set (shipped) and the Clifford Jordan set. Whether that one will ship or not, we'll just have to see. As another poster wrote, if I get it, great, if not.... But I'm an unqualified Mosaic fan. I *really* don't want to see the label go. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think I mentioned in the earlier thread (now deleted) that Threadgill is a must-have for anyone who's even remotely interested in his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Not everyone gets a thrill out of listening to stand alone solos without the entire song. I finally ordered the Parker set today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bol Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just heard from Scott Wenzel at Mosaic. Apparently, the Savoy set will be reprinted later this month. So if any of you are interested in this, you should put in an order with Mosaic rather than searching for it at other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the concerted effort over the last couple of days has thrown them a lifeline? *fingers crossed* I'd love to know what their sales numbers look like post-email/social media blitz.

erwbol Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Very glad I got the Woody Shaw Muse set from Jazz Messengers as soon as the news broke. Excellent set, at least the first five discs. The penultimate session recorded by Rudy Van Gelder sounds especially thin. But the pre-Columbia albums are all great music. No complaints. I have come to the conclusion that Ahmad Jamal is not my thing. And the Benedetti set, well, I don't think I listen to Bird often enough to justify spending €125 on it.

Rooster_Ties Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 So I see the MJQ box is backordered, but says it is expected to be available again in May (presumably 2017). Given the current situation, is it touch and go (at best, and probably extremely iffy), or is there any chance it could become available again? (In other words, am I just SOL on that one?)

JSngry Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Spend that money, and consider it spent until you know for sure that it;s not. And then, hey, found moeny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
