J.A.W. Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 I just heard from Mosaic's Scott that they have about 50 sets left. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 tina brooks and madonna both have albums called true blue Quote
couw Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 yes and we both post in this thread without really adding anything to it... carry on. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Man oh man. . . this is such a great set! It's a shame it can't stay in print until 2010 or so. . . . Quote
wesbed Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 I believe most of the Tristano/Konitz/Marsh discussion is in this thread. >link< Quote
Brad Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 The more I listen to this set, it just keeps getting better and better. The book is also quite incredible. It's a little above me musically but a fine piece of analysis. Quote

It's a little above me musically but a fine piece of analysis. Here's is where Larry Kart responded to my comments regarding the T/K/M booklet. Nothing against Larry Kart but, yeah, a little above me, musically speaking. >link< Quote
JSngry Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 All I can say about Mr. Kart's essay is that it is pretty dense (as in thick) verbally, but it bears repeated reading in conjunction with repeated listening to the music. Give it time and it'll all fall into place eventually. Quote

I just posted this separately to point out the "running very low status" of the set to those who still didn't pick it up... Edited April 22, 2004 by J.A.W. Quote

I just posted this separately to point out the "running very low status" of the set to those who still didn't pick it up... Man, I figured as much. I don't recall seeing a recent stand-alone thread for the T/K/M box. I thought, if anybody is looking for information about the T/K/M box, whether to buy it or not... they can check THIS thread and THE OTHER thread. I've enjoyed my Tristano/Konitz box very much. Get it while you can. Quote

Something like this: Quote
PHILLYQ Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 There's one less now- I just ordered one a few minutes ago. OH, MY WALLET!!! Quote
John Tapscott Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Excellent advice! The T/K/M and the J.J. Johnson sets are two of my favorite Mosaics. Great. These are the two I ordered a week ago and am eagely awaiting, hopefully today or tomorrow! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Damn, John; you've got some seriously fine music on the way! Quote
doubleM Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Well, after weighing the self-loathing incurred by charging it today vs. what I'd face if it sold out before I got one, I charged ahead. I'm damned sure that I won't regret this one! ! Quote
wesbed Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Well, after weighing the self-loathing incurred by charging it today vs. what I'd face if it sold out before I got one, I charged ahead. I'm damned sure that I won't regret this one! Congrats doubleM. You will enjoy the Tristano/Konitz/Marsh Mosaic. This was my first exposure to these three gentlemen. I've enjoyed every bit of it. Their playing styles are very infectious. You get caught in their groove and you want to hear more and more. After knowing nothing about Lee Konitz, till my purchase of the T/K/M box (approximately a month ago), I've been looking for Konitz titles in the CD bins. Soulstation1 was concerned the T/K/M might not last till the end of the month. The set is STILL holding at the Mosaic site. Maybe it will hold long enough for all who desire it? Quote
PHILLYQ Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 The end of the month is next week- it may not last that long, I believe that the T/K/M is below 50 sets. Considering the exposure on the jazz boards about the quality of the set and the few sets remaining, I doubt it lasts past this weekend. Quote
PHILLYQ Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) I do hope that it lasts long enough for SS1 to get a copy,but less than 50 and people raving about the set... I ordered mine yesterday, it arrived this morning-phenomenal service, as always. Edited April 23, 2004 by PHILLYQ Quote
Matthew Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 You're all insane!!! After reading so much about this set, I finally succumbed to mass hysteria and ordered this set. This, after not buying a Mosaic set in over two years -- thought I was over the Mosaic thing. Man, this is an expensive board to read. Just hope I'll like myself in the morning. Quote

Don't feel too darned bad about yourself. I've purchased 4 Mosaic sets in the last couple of months due to this board. Of course, all the sets are so good that I'd have been ticked if I'd missed any of them. Quote
relyles Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 I ordered the set over the weekend as well. Peer pressure is a mother. Quote
