couw Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 Does anyone have any idea how the Koch reissues of the Shorter Vee Jays compare to the Mosaic set? not from own experience but from reading all the raving on various boards, I'd say the Koch disks get SMOKED beyond recognition... Quote

Well, it's not THAT bad, but the Mosaics are WAAAAAYYYYY ahead! B) Quote
sthomas Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Then I guess that I have no choice ... Quote
BruceH Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 There looks to be very some cool stuff in the Vee Jay Mosaics: I've seriously thought about getting the Koch reissue of Introduceing Wayne Shorter just for that damnfine cover. Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 (edited) I've seriously thought about getting the Koch reissue of Introduceing Wayne Shorter just for that damnfine cover. You can always bid on my Japanese mini-LP copy here Edited April 25, 2004 by J.A.W. Quote
wesbed Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 It's interesting... how much these two covers look alike. The same look of the woman, the same kind of pose. Quote

bertrand Posted April 26, 2004 Report Posted April 26, 2004 The woman on Sorcerer is actress (and future Miles wife) Cicely Tyson. I'm not sure who the woman on Second Genesis is. Bertrand. Quote
wesbed Posted April 26, 2004 Report Posted April 26, 2004 The woman on Sorcerer is actress (and future Miles wife) Cicely Tyson. I'd not have thought of Cicely Tyson till I read it in this thread. But, duh... I should have known. Quote
BruceH Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 It's interesting... how much these two covers look alike. The same look of the woman, the same kind of pose. Another difference is not the covers, but how much better Second Genesis is as an album. Quote
DrJ Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Posted April 29, 2004 Whoah...I guess this is a great example of "to each their own." SECOND GENESIS is fine album pushing gently at the boundaries of hard bop convention, but it's no SORCERER - the sound of music changing worlds! Quote
BruceH Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Well, to each their own, I guess. I also think Soul Station is better than any Coltrane album. Quote
DrJ Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Posted April 29, 2004 That's it...we're no longer on speaking terms! Quote
JSngry Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Imyrtrdting to hear that the reissues sound so good, since most of the VeeJay LPs I've heard don't sound so hot. Wonder what the culprit was back then? Quote
JSngry Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) Some nice covers there. But the one above is the cover of the Charly reissue from the 90s. This is the original: "Original" is a bit misleading, since this album was not released contemporaneously. Sat in the vaults for a decade or two! BTW, here's ANOTHER cover, this one from the delightfully named Portugese label "Yes To Jazz". It says it's leased from Charly and shows a copyright date of 1984.

BruceH Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 That's it...we're no longer on speaking terms! Was it something I said? Sorry, just like to get a rise out of the board sometimes. Quote

cayetano Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 The two Vee-Jay Mosaic boxes are today in the RUNNING LOW. Quote
wesbed Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 The two Vee-Jay Mosaic boxes are today in the RUNNING LOW. Mosaic said these sets would be added next month. It appears 'next month' is May. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 from Mosaic:the running low category now represents our estimate that the sets will be sold out in the next three to twelve months i believe that since the license runs it's course in seven months that this might be the reason to post it up now?

wesbed Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 This is not supposed to be a political thread. I don't want to mention any specifics about politics here. But, after spending the last couple of days with my mind stuck in the political happenings of the day, I've returned, tonight, to my copy of the Morgan/Shorter Vee Jay Mosaic. I'm listening to the 'Here's Lee Morgan' release as I type these words. Man, it's nice to be reminded of the excellence of the Mosaic Vee Jay sets. I've had no alcohol this evening. Not a drop. Yet, my mind has been drugged, all the same, by this beautiful music (and the excellent remastering effort of Malcolm Addey). The Vee Jay sets are, as I've written before, an example of the best of Mosaic and not to be missed. Excellent sound and excellent playing by all involved. Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, and Clifford Jordan on the tune I'm listening to now. Combined with Addey's remastering and Cuscuna's packaging. It doesn't get any better. This music reminds me of the pleasure & privilege of being alive. B) Quote
