brownie Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 The looks are good but I have no idea how they sound. I have stayed away from their releases so far. The Gambit albums I have seen are an odd mix from various sessions and from various labels (Verve, BN, Pacific Jazz, UA, Decca, etc...). I'm usually pretty open about these Spanish-Andorran releases but these Gambits are quite an odd mix and do not feel right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fer Urbina Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) GAMBIT 69206 Complete Recordings With Kenny Burrell & Barry Galbraith Hank Jones Quartet Featuring: Hank Jones (p), Barry Galbraith (g), Kenny Burrell (g), Milt Hinton (b), Elvin Jones (dr) € 12.45 (USD 14.80) That must be the one including Jones's "Gigi" and "Here's Love". Watch out for the follow-up (just out): "Hank Jones Quartet With Kenny Burrell And Barry Galbraith - Complete Recordings, vol. 2". It includes the albums "The Talented Touch" and "Porgy And Bess" Yep, exactly like last year's Mighty Quinn's Okra-Tone reissue (approved by EMI, current owner of the masters).

mikeweil Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I listened to the Jim Hall on headphones in a shop and it did not sound like it was dubbed from LP - in fact I was surprised at the good sound quality! This includes the rare Modest Trio LP with Red Kelly (which I didn't find so thrilling, I must admit) and the three tracks with Hall from the Chico Hamilton Trio LP - both from Pacific Jazz.

F ← Just wanted to chime in on this... definitely buy this Okratone release! It's great, with Wolff photos, very nice presentation! Some info can be found on the board - I think in the HJ b-day thread. The one that I had in my hands twice already, but haven't heard any of it, is the Stitt goes Green disc.

Funnily enough (well, not really), Gambit releases carry a sticker boasting that they're "for the discerning collector". F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if there is a legit release of the contents of the Gambit Complete Recordings v. 1 (Gigi and Here's Love). Setting aside the morality for the moment, is the Gigi and Here's Love music worth tracking down? It looks like Gambit is the only game in town for this, unless Okra-Tone gets around to it. Also, Lonehill has Hank Jones/Tyree Glenn's Quintet/Sextet Complete Recordings. Three Complete Albums Tyree Glenn's "at the Embers", "at the Roundtable" and "at the London House". Is it available legitimately (on CD) and is it worth tracking down? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 With all the Gambit releases appearing on eMusic, I'm tempted to revive this thread, if only to trace where the various releases stem from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 For example, this: John Coltrane - The Complete Copenhagen Concert 1963 Has this been issued before, whether legit or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Neither this nor the Paris set seems to match the timings for the Pablo Live Trane set. Wonder if DG lurks here anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allblues Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 eMusic added some new Gambit titles this week, including several by Bill Evans. I don't know for certain, but Monk's Complete Live at the Five Spot 1958 appears to be Blue Note's Live at the Five Spot with Nutty and Ruby My Dear added from TM with John Coltrane.

Swinging Swede Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 For example, this: John Coltrane - The Complete Copenhagen Concert 1963 Has this been issued before, whether legit or not? Yes, it has been out on CD before on the Magnetic label. I think I used to see Magnetic CDs in circa the early 90s, but they are in any case long OOP. It was a bootleg label, but at least those were original boots. I'm sure the Gambit CDs are just rips of the Magnetic CDs. The Paris set that randyhersom mentions was also on Magnetic, by the way. The Pablo Live Trane set is a discographical mess, and even includes tracks that are actually from Birdland. The tracks that are claimed to be from this Paris concert are in fact not, so there is no overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) I didn't know Emusic had a specific european service (it was launched last year). I get redirected to the european site automatically. Are the Gambit releases available on the US site as well?

Roland Kirk's Third Dimension and Beyond isn't available, for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyo Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I wouldn't normally go for the Gambit stuff but I'll get two tracks from them from eMusic this month. Them being two tracks from the Curtis Counce OJC Landslide that SHOULD be available from Concord - but haven't been for over a year (they just show up as missing tracks in the album's tracklist). I have contacted eMusic about such tracks on another OJC (some Shelly Manne album) last year and they still haven't bothered to re-upload those tracks. What's so difficult about that?

brownie Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 This was mentioned in another post: Donald Byrd Sextet - Complete Recordings Does anyone know where this was originally issued? This comes from two sessions recorded for the Transition label. The first seven tracks were on the 'Byrd Jazz' LP, The two bonus tracks were on the 'Byrd's Eyes View' LP. Both sessions were recorded in 1955 and have been reissued on CD elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
