Rooster_Ties Posted November 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 The Mosaic site has a new "expected release date" of Dec 1st (was previously Nov 15, as recently as a day or two ago). Not terribly surprised, and I'll just be glad if I can get it by a few days Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Tristano release date now December 20th, per the Mosaic email that I'm sure many of you received as well. (The email says a discography for the set is now posted, but I'm still getting a "coming soon" message when I click on the link for it.)

gmonahan Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 It is just SO weird that we can't preorder this one. I think Lon must be right. It must have something to do with the partnership with DOT Time. After all, Mosaic has used preorders recently to decide how many sets to produce. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdtry Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Didn't Mosaic send out an e-mail a week or so ago saying it was the plastic trays that hold the CDs that was messing things up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that’s the holdup — and seems to be the only holdup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 If cards are not charged until items are actually shipped, why is that preventing pre-ordering? Just tell people what the deal is upfront and let them get a place in line if they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted November 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 For whatever reason(s), I seem to vaguely remember they didn’t do preorders for the last 2-3 or even 4 sets they released. I’m half sure that the Joe Henderson and Hank Mobley 60’s sets dropped as live orders, with no presale period. This is in contrast with whatever earlier sets in the recent (but not as recent) past, where they tried to get so many pre-orders as they could in order to bring the set to final fruition — I’m thinking the most recent Woody Herman set was maybe like that? I forget all the specifics, but all that’s what’s rattling around in my head, if anyone happened to also remember any of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful about the Mobley 60s...I more than vaguely (albeit with some uncertainty ) recall kicking myself for preordering that one via Paypal and thereby having my card charged long before shipping.

ghost of miles Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Anybody happen to have chatted with the Mosaic folks on the phone in the past week or so regarding this release? Just wondering if the Dec. 20 release date still holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) “Carol Tristano -- Co-Producer Note” (essay) from the liners is now posted in full on the Mosaic page for the new Tristano box — right under the 5 audio samples (when the discography isn’t displayed). Dec 20 is still the “expected” release date (or did it perhaps say “estimated” before?). In any case, the date — however it’s termed — is still Dec 20.

Rooster_Ties Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Not sure when it was added, but I just noticed the introductory explanation of the set on the Mosaic page is now 2-3 times longer. Wouldn't say it has lots of new info or details, but it's very nicely written and sure whet the appetite to hear all this new material. https://www.mosaicrecords.com/product/lennie-tristano/ One phrase in particular... "While to some ears Tristano sounds remote or mechanical in his long runs of even eighth notes, a more careful listening reveals the playfulness and passion in his approach on piano." ...instantly made me think of Gary Thomas (of all people) -- who plays hard, and ALSO strings together long, long runs of non-swinging, 'even' notes (eighth notes, sixteenth, or whatever they are). I'm not suggesting Tristano is necessarily a direct influence (though I'll have to ask Gary the next time I hear him around DC eventually), but I can say that this common metrical aspect of Lennie's and Gary's playing tickles the same part of my brain. (Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes! Right there. THAT's the spot. Ahhhhhh...) Trane's "sheets-of-sound" stuff during his Prestige years does the same thing to me too, though it's flying by so fast I'm not sure if I could say it's truly "even" or not -- but it sure doesn't "swing" (in terms of the conventional meaning of that word). Some of Dave Holland's 80's and 90's ECM output also does that to me a bit -- ALTHOUGH, I know that stuff swings like mad. But there's something about it that also seems to get me in that same particular spot. That one Steve Coleman/Dave Holland duo album especially -- Phase Space (1991, DIW) -- REALLY pushes those same buttons for me. (Are any of my oblique connections here making any sense?) I'm trying to think of "why?" Maybe is it a similar sense of what I might call "relentlessness forward momentum", particularly on faster tunes? Whatever it is, I love mainlining that stuff, and it can instantly take me into another world.

John L Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Mosaic seems to have changed their website. Instead of receiving a notification that my order has been placed, I got a message that my order "is being reviewed." What is that all about? Will they decide after review against letting me have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have kept that page open, and after refreshing every so often, I see that it has gone from "received and being reviewed" to simply "has been received". No idea what that means. I also had to create a new account with a new password with a 12 character minimum. A 12 character minimum? Seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
