Interesting that they're now up to 5,000 copies.  Perhaps they're regaining confidence in their business model.

My feeling is that because it’s JATP, they expect this one to do well.

Heck, I’m still working my way through the humongous Black and White set but I’ll be in for this one I think. Nice that there’s that tempting early bird discount too, which would go some way to offsetting shipping costs.

Wonder when JazzMessengers will get this one in stock?

[scooter_phx]

Ordered.  Been waiting for this one since it was announced.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

I haven't pre-ordered in a while but this one is too tempting. I'm in.

This is the first time I've ordered with their new web-based ordering system. I have yet to receive an order confirmation. Is this normal?

FWIW, I used PayPal and received my confirmation almost immediately.

My order is in. I can see it when I log into my account. But I never did receive an e-mail confirmation. Maybe because I used a credit card and they don't charge your card until it ships?

Ditto

First time I’ve preordered in many years. I feel this one may go quickly. 

[jazzbo]

I've pre-ordered, as I have ever set for about a dozen years. Kevin, I think it's because you paid by credit card, I've used PayPal for many years and get email confirmations right away.

[Stompin at the Savoy]

I preordered with credit card and received the confirmation immediately.  Check your spam folder if you don't see it.

First time a colour image on the cover, it isn't?

Whereas Jazz Messengers have previously been a good source for Mosaic boxes as they deduct VAT for UK customers, they are now less attractive because of the end of free shipping. Cost of delivery for this new box is likley to be around €14. Plus the last couple of times I ordered direct from Mosaic I wasn't cherged any import duties etc.

It is, and I like it!

I'm going to pre-order as well.

I noticed that too. Will wonders never cease? Pre-ordered.

I'm having second thoughts on purchasing this one.

Which typically leads me to click the "buy" button.

Am I the only person who prefers Granz-produced LP sessions to JATP "battles"? I mean, excluding my friend Mr. Felser, who couldn't be troubled to consider either side of Granz' musical productions? 😉

[JSngry]

Is Oscar Peterson the main pianist on this set? 

[tranemonk]

I'm a little confused about one line in the description..... What do they mean "passed over for a retrospective?" Does that mean some of it was released as a single CD? The discography doesn't make it clear if this stuff has ever been on CD before (and if so, which recordings). Anybody know or got any insight?

A First-Ever Collection
JATP 1950s Jam Sessions

JATP concerts from the 1940s were documented in 1998 on a 10-CD Verve boxed set. But until now, the 1950s concerts have been passed over for a retrospective.

[jazzbo]

I take it to mean that there have not been a re-presentation of the material of these 'fifties sessions, little of it presented again until now. How accurate that is. . . I'm not sure.

A look at the discography on the Mosaic set (easy to do right?) shows yes, though there are three sessions where Hank Jones is the pianist, and three where John Lewis is the pianist.

Yes, but with all the Lester Young, Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, Benny Carter, Illinois Jacquet, Coleman Hawkins, and Dizzy Gillespie on the set, you will live.

Same here. But so much Lester Young ......
