Well the plot continues to thicken. As I mentioned, I had originally checked my order status at CDUniverse to find that the Jazztet item was listed as "no longer available" and so figured my order was cancelled. Then a couple days back I get an e-mail saying it shipped and that it was a single CD. It arrives today and...it's the FULL SET! Most bizarre, but a fortunate turn of events! Thanks Clunky for putting me on to this opportunity.

Score! That's awesome, Dr. J. Give your thoughts on the set as a whole once you've listened to it. It's on my Mosaics to get eventually list.

WOW...CD Universe lied to me.

What a great outfit they are. With your post in mind, I just went and had a look at my order history to double-check on the 'Jazztet' order/cancellation 'dance' that I went through with their customer servive reps 2 months ago....and the only previous orders that are listed are ones from a few years ago, including one for 10 items that was apparently shipped. Problem is, it wasn't an order I ever placed. No way there would have been a bunch of Jimmy Smith cds in one of my orders... no way! :tdown

I wonder what ever happened to the Willie "the Lion" Smith that was mentioned a couple of years ago on the old Verve board. I remember there was a lot of complaints about Verve's refusal to lease material to Mosaic at that time. Seemed like every one of the suggestions was met with a "we have plans for a box of our own" type of response from chief cook and bottle washer Mark@verve. Didn't he mention that Verve had agreed to lease some Willie "the Lion" Smith material to Mosaic - or am I hallucinating again? :wacko:

Thankfully, Verve (or UMG) has re-thought that stance and we've been seeing some great sets recently. :tup

I just love a shallenge

Sounds like P.D.'s already enjoying Happy Hour. :rolleyes:

Nope... single finger typing and worn out letters on the keys

I shall not correct the above.........

That's what I figured. It's just that when I first read it, I was hearing the word "shallenge" pronounced in my head the way it was spelled. :D

Gerry Mulligan - Songbooks - 4 CDs (Mosaic Select) — remastered from rediscovered stereo tapes

— includes unissued "Stringtime" tracks

A Select with 4 CDs? Can this be right?

The exception proves the rule...

I still have to see it to believe it. I seem to recall they marketed this series as only going to be 3 discs.

PS-Not that I'm complaining. ;)

They could fit as many as six CDs in the same size package.  ^_^

Then what would be the distinction between a 6-, or even 4-, CD Select and a regular Mosaic box? The purported "completeness" of the contents? Or just the size of the box? And does SIZE really matter??? :blink:
