以上是我目前的馬賽克boxsets及select系列收藏，儘管目前為止收集數量不多也沒有啥絕版天價名作，大多是從Mosaic Records網頁直接郵購漂洋過海而來，少部分經由台灣Universal系統引進。聆賞經驗都相當滿意，而且或多或少表現出自己現階段對於爵士樂的偏好及品味。瞧了瞧今後Mosaic的發行計劃可能更著重於新開發的產品線"Mosaic Singles"單片發行，自己則私心希望Mosaic能更朝pre-swing甚至Fusion前衛/自由爵士時期邁進。期待Cuscuna與工作人員們能繼續加油找尋更多值得樂迷聆聽的精采作品以饗同好。 Discussion Threads & Articles Worth Reading Mosaic Records Box Reviews from allaboutjazz Mosaic Records: A Label Profile & Interview from allaboutjazz Mosaic Records Essential Releases: Cost vs. Value from allaboutjazz Mosaic and other box sets... from organissimo Mosaic Sets (Select, Boxed, whatever) from Jazzcorner's Speakeasy Mosaic：各位的夢幻絕版盤？ from MusicPower

根據我的理解，這套應也有引進：

酒神想買的這套：
The Complete Verve Roy Eldridge Studio Sessions
個人十分之推薦。
最近也買了一些Mosaic的單張西低，尚未到貨，收到後有空再分享之。
感謝報馬，我好像太過後知後覺以致Jazztet及Oliver Nelson都在國外訂多花了些銀兩，似乎所有Universal系統的廠牌如Verve/Mercury等等的馬賽克台灣環球都會少量引進。還好音樂初步的印象很讚，期待小威對於Mosaic Singles的心得囉。我最近可能的下單計畫是:
回覆刪除Mosaic Boxsets: Jazz Crusaders / Gerald Wilson / Roy Eldridge (Eldridge會從台灣買)
Mosaic Select: Paul Chambers
Mosaic Select我在期待McCoy Tyner跟Tony Williams這兩套的問世; 已絕版的馬賽克我最感興趣的應該是Larry Young、Woody Shaw、Thad Jones / Mel Lewis、Lennie Tristano / Lee Konitz & Warne Marsh，那就一切隨緣囉!
幾天前咬緊牙關多訂了Jazz Crusaders與Roy Eldridge的馬賽克,看來得過一段時間口袋空空阮囊羞澀的日子了.

這次特價的品項大都為庫存品,較冷門(錄製年代久遠或知名度較低)或過於大部頭重量級盒裝,共同點是有Mosaic一貫的質感與保存價值,. 這十二套裡我已經訂了Lou Donaldson與Joe Pass(可惜在7/31下訂所以沒趕上特價orz). 要不是已經絲毫無預算了,Sonny Stitt與Horace Parlan那兩套會是我有興趣的盒裝.
到八月底為止,加減參考囉 :)
給在最近有下單Mosaic的朋友,
回覆刪除最近有向Mosaic下單而貨還沒寄到的朋友,如果訂單裡有以上特價品項的話,都可以寫封信要求適用這項優惠,我就省了將近二十塊美金.
我的這筆訂單也當是替Mosaic衝業績鼓勵他們的方式吧.
在organissimo的專門討論Mosaic與其他boxsets的討論群組裡有個新的討論串在統計那些樂迷擁有幾套Mosaic--
回覆刪除How many Mosaic big box sets do you own?
Mosaic對於爵士樂迷及收藏家的吸引力果然很強. 雖然仍對已經絕版的幾套有興趣但只停留在觀望階段,現階段的任務就是把其中一半沒聽的聽完. 至於那些out-of-print的就看緣分囉.
岡看到Mosaic的網頁,發現Elvin Jones的套裝CD被列入"Last Chance"(也就是要絕版)了. 個人認為它是我手裡十七套Mosaic中最喜歡的. 有興趣的朋友手腳千萬要快啊!!

真是套令人望穿秋水的好物啊,希望十月趕快來.
Anthony Braxton is the sort of artist who triggers those heated "Is it jazz?"debates; whatever his music is, it is brilliant. By the time he signed with Arista Records in 1974 at the age of 29, he had emerged as one of the major figures in Chicago\'s AACM, formed Circle with Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Barry Altchul and lived the expatriate life in Paris and moved freely in jazz and contemporary classical circles.
What made his output at Arista (1974-80) so unique was the range of projects he was able to realize thanks to the supportive budgets of a major label. This 8-CD set rescues his entire 13-LP Arista output from forgotten vaults. From live and studio recordings with his quartet (with Kenny Wheeler or George Lewis, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul) to solo alto excursions to a duet with Muhal Richard Abrams to Creative Orchestra Music to trios with Roscoe Mitchell/Joseph Jarman and Henry Threadgill/Douglas Ewart to his thoroughly composed pieces for two pianos and for four orchestras, Braxton explored every aspect of modern music through his own creative vision with astonishing results.The 13 LPs are:
Arista AL-4032 New York, Fall 1974 - 1 LP
Arista AL-4064 Five Pieces, 1975 - 1 LP
Arista AL-4080 Creative Orchestra Music 1976 - 1 LP
Arista AL-4101 Duets 1976 - 1 LP
Arista AB-4181 For Trio - 1 LP
Arista AL-5002 The Montreux/Berlin concerts - 2 LPs
Arista A2L-8602 Alto Saxophone Improvisation 1979 - 2 LPs
Arista A3L-8900 For Four Orchestras - 3 LPs
Arista AL-9559 For Two Pianos - 1 LP
