I wonder if the numbering of the Select's is a subtle psychological play on our collector mentality (some of us anyway) - i.e. resulting in our 'need/desire' to acquire ALL sets just so there are no gaps in our collection, even though we may not particularly enjoy an artist's music.

I'm going to have to leave the Selects till much later - already having a tough time keeping up with the regular Mosaic sets.

I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying the clips from the Liebman/Beirach set. I usually can't stand soprano sax, but Liebman is very listenable and this is really excellent music. I might just have to pick this one up.

Me too! This one's a buy.

Well, I've got all the Reese on TOCJs so that's a pass and I don't know that much about the Liebman set but if it's a lot of soprano sax I'm inclined to take a pasadena.

"Drum ode" is an excellent 70's Liebman recording, with Beirach, Abercrombie and many percussionists. My favourite Liebman ECM session is "Lookout farm", but it has not been reissued on CD.

I'm still hesitating to get the Liebman Mosaic, because I just bought the hatOLOGY double CD "Bookends", a duo session with pianist Marc Copland and Dave Liebman. That would be too much Liebman/piano duos at once.

Thanks, Claude.

I recall hearing a track off Lookout Farm back in early 1978 but have never tracked down the album.

I very much like Beirach's recent violin/bass/piano recordings based round Bartok and Monteverdi; and some late 90s Liebman discs.

My god, the memories - I haven't listened to "Lookout Farm" in years! I'll have to dig that LP out of the stacks. Still can't believe neither that nor Beirach's "Elm" are out on CD...

Brad,

Check out the samples on the Mosaic site. I'm not a Soprano fan either, but this is some good stuff.

Ray: ELM is on CD although only on Japan of course (where else) the catalog number is: UCCE-3009. The EON album is also excellent (POCJ-2795).

And......Lookout Farm was also released on Cd in Japan POCJ-2232 but this is long OOP of course.

Cheers,

Reinier

Got the new Mosaic catalog in the mail today. The upcoming Selects are on the cover. Interesting note on the inside - they won't be distributing the Select series at retail for a while. Something about "market conditions" not being right at this time.

I don't have the new Mosaic catalog yet, but interesting.

Haven't the first Selects been available for about a year now? I wonder what the 'market conditions' are? Slow jazz sales? Slow CD sales in general? The retailers don't want to use their shelf space to display jazz titles?
