sidewinder Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Fantastic !  I’m in.. Especially good as I never bothered with those downloads. Good news about that Armstrong Columbia 50s set in the  works too. Edited December 15, 2017 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 A happy circumstance. Guess there's life in those old Mosaic bones yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles65 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Great news but I downloaded the first 3 volumes. A pitty the Ellington material is not included. But I’m not complaining about more Lester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Even I might be interested in that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially good as I never bothered with those downloads.  Same here. I'll spring for this for sure. Almost too good to be true. (I suppose it will be a long while, though, before we get to know if Jazzmessengers will carry this? ) The best news about this IMHO and TO ME, though, in the link above was that the Goodman material will remain "in limbo". I was half afraid anybody who'd release this in a "physical" format would jump for more of the most obvious "biggest" names. But honestly, there already are so many BG airshots and live recordings from that period out there that I guess most can do without more versions of '"Rachel's Dream" or whatever in that vein (UNLESS of course that there are substantially more recordings of the sextet featuring Charlie Christian and playing tunes that so far have NOT been preserved for posterity - but how likely is this, I wonder??).

jeffcrom Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Cool! I downloaded the first two volumes, but tend not to listen to downloads much - a function of my age and preferences, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Never bothered with the downloads either, so this is very cool. Thanks for posting the info, David. Edited December 15, 2017 by paul secor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Life Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 This is fantastic news. I was so disappointed when this was released as download-only. Merry Christmas to us, thank you Santa Mosaic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Available for pre-order NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 This is great news. I've loved listening to Volume one but DLs are my least favourite format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Sounds interesting.  Like Paul, I never downloaded the iTunes material so this appears a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Has anyone looked at the overlap between the downloads and the new set? Â Probably will buy this either way, just curious.

Lush Life Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Doug Pomeroy is listed as the engineer in charge of the sound/restoration for this new Mosaic box. A year ago, he posted this at the Steve Hoffman forum: Third, yes, there has been talk about a possible release of the music on CDs, but it would be irresponsible of me to say any more because it is not any of my business. I do know that Mosaic was contacted several years ago and, at that time, for reasons unknown to me, declined. http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/the-savory-collection-jazz-trove-to-be-released.598384/page-2#post-17736117 (Bold/Underlined emphasis added by me) This morning's email from Mosaic is headlined: Our Most Momentous Collection In Years - Upcoming Release. A Treasure Trove of Previously Unknown Music. I guess my question is this: what changed Mosaic's mind about cutting a deal to issue these recordings? They had to know what a big deal these were several years ago when they first had a chance to garner the rights. Did they simply not have the money to do a deal? Did they get outbid by iTunes on an 'exclusivity' deal? (It is interesting that one full year has passed since iTunes first issued these, which suggests some kind of exclusive agreement on the rights for a period of time.)

Â Probably will buy this either way, just curious. Â Exciting news for Mosaic, long may it run. Â I just did a comparison. The Mosaic set has the following tracks not on the 4 downloads: Mildred Bailey- Mosaic disc 3 tracks 10-13 Stuff Smith- Mosaic disc 3 tracks 14-15 Joe Sullivan- Mosaic disc 4 tracks 7-13 Count Basie- Mosaic disc 5Â tracks 3,4,6,8,11,12,15,16,17,18 Count Basie- Mosaic disc 6 tracks 3,4,7,8,15,16,17 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I am not positively sure about the Count Basie tracks as some of the times do not agree precisely. In any case the 2 Mosaic discs total 39 tracks and 17 are not on the downloads. In any case the Mosaic set does include all the 4 download tracks, plus the ones mentioned above.

ghost of miles Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Wow, yes, just looked over the discography, and that's pretty much another CD's worth of Basie broadcasts, in addition to what was released on the second iTunes volume.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Despite having volumes 1 through 4 from iTunes, I will be getting the Mosaic. This is great news indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get it together with the Teddy Wilson set. But there seems to be much Basie material there. Can anybody tell me if there is much overlap with the Basie-Lester Young set I got recently?

jazzbo Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 There's no overlap--both are completely different and separate material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
