mgraham333 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) It's a little unusual not to know at least something about the upcoming reissues in the RVG or Connoisseur series. Does anyone have any information they can share? From Kevin later in the thread: March 11 RVGs Jimmy Smith – Live At The Baby Grand V. 1 Jimmy Smith – Live At The Baby Grand V. 2 Ike Quebec – Blue And Sentimental Jutta Hipp With Zoot Sims Here Comes Louis Smith Stanley Turrentine – Look Out! Freddie Redd – Shades Of Redd Horace Silver – Further Explorations Lou Donaldson – Here ‘Tis Wayne Shorter – The Soothsayer May 13 Connoisseurs Stanley Turrentine – Return Of The Prodigal Son (the June 23 & July 28, 1967 sessions) Louis Smith – Smithville (first time in stereo with two bonus tracks) Bobby Hutcherson – Head On (includes three previously unissued tracks) Art Farmer – Brass Shout (includes Aztec Suite) Dizzy Gillespie & James Moody with Gil Fuller & The Monterey Jazz Festival Orchestra (includes Moody's Night Flight album) Edited December 13, 2007 by mgraham333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Can we start a wish list for the 2008 conniosseur series? Sam Rivers: A New Conception Larry Young: Contrasts and/or Of Heaven and Earth Tyrone Washington: Natural Essence Jackie McLean: Hipnosis (and maybe include a session supposedly cut in '68, but rejected because McLean didn't like Norman Connor's drumming???)

Chuck Nessa Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think they might start over with 78s. First issue will be BN 1, Meade Lux Lewis playing Melancholy (side a) and Solitude (side b). Since I already have this 78, I will pass.

Face of the Bass Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Wasn't there some talk that the reissue program was reaching its end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 No news is not good news in this regard... others here might have more solid knowledge to back their speculation, but I'll be happily surprised to hear of anything in the pipeline.

ghost of miles Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 And now for something completely different... Buddy Bolden film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) As far as wish-lists go, I absolutely agree with Contrasts and Natural Essence (especially with all or most of "The Trainwreck" as bonus material). ...and also that unreleased McLean session (which also has Tyrone Washington on it, and Woody Shaw too!! - if I remember right). I don't care how bad that drummer was (or how bad Jackie thought he was), I would really like to have some reevaluation of the value of that session (Note to Chuck: I didn't say we have the "right" to hear it -- but rather, I think it deserves to be reevaluated for possible release). It can't be any 'worse' than that one Andrew Hill session with Woody and Sam Rivers (Hill Select, disc #1, the first session on that disc) -- which is sloppy during most of the heads, but absolutely kicks ass in terms of the energy and fire in the solos. That crazy Hill/Shaw/Rivers session is probably one of my all-time "top-20" Blue Note dates, seriously!!

BruceH Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 No news is not good news in this regard... others here might have more solid knowledge to back their speculation, but I'll be happily surprised to hear of anything in the pipeline. Me too. But I have the feeling that now that they've released Davis Cup and Flight To Jordan as RVG's the end times are upon us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John L Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Can we start a wish list for the 2008 conniosseur series? Sam Rivers: A New Conception Larry Young: Contrasts and/or Of Heaven and Earth Tyrone Washington: Natural Essence Jackie McLean: Hipnosis (and maybe include a session supposedly cut in '68, but rejected because McLean didn't like Norman Connor's drumming???) Good list, although Hipnosis will probably not be considered due to its inclusion on the Grachan Moncur Select. How about a few of the best Three Sounds discs? Cuscuna's complete boycott of the Three Sounds in US reissues is rather ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerein Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 There will be a Mosaic set or select with 3 Sounds material at some stage so not issuing single cd's makes sense money wise for Mosaic!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeegor Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 This is/was a fantastic re-issue series, but I thought something was going on with the last batch. Not only were they titles people have been waiting forever for, but we had 17 of them released within a month. I really hope we haven't heard the last of them though.

Kyo Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm still hoping to see Louis Smith - Smithville with those two additional tunes from the sessions. That and the remaining Magnificent That Jones disc (Vol. 3? Can't remember) would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 In the liner notes to the recent Stanley Turrentine CD A Blueish Bag Cuscuna says the remaining two sessions with Pearson arrangements would be adressed at a later date.

Swinging Swede Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think I saw somewhere that Horace Silver at Newport 1958 will come out in early 2008. Louis Smith is on trumpet, and any new Louis Smith from that era is great news IMO. OK, not technically a reissue, but still something to look forward too.

Dan Gould Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 There will be a Mosaic set or select with 3 Sounds material at some stage so not issuing single cd's makes sense money wise for Mosaic!!!! Reinier, You seem to be one of the guys with an "in" with Michael - has he confirmed this to you recently? Because others like Brad who have emailed don't get nearly as definitive an answer, so if you have new info, that's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Good list, although Hipnosis will probably not be considered due to its inclusion on the Grachan Moncur Select. That's too bad, if that turns out to be the case. I already own Evolution, Some Other Stuff and probably most if not all of his sideman dates that have been issued. I'd really like to see an official release (hoping that there would be a nice Patrick Roques cover to go with it) with decent sound and maybe as a bonus, that unreleased '68 McLean date. Well, one can always wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Wood Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 The real question is, will Blue Note be around next year? Lots of cut backs in the music biz it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerein Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Stefan is spot on but that's a different matter. Dan: all I know is the business has to better than it is right now. The 3 Sounds set is something MC is trying to get out for a long time already but the music industy isn't helping. As soon as it's possible (money wise) to do it it will be done.

I have to say, he's worked miracles over the past 5 or so years with what he has managed to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceM Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I know its in the Mosaic box but I can't believe Sam Rivers "A New Conception" has never had a CD release of its own. This would be my number one request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinging Swede Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Here are my Connoisseur 2008 suggestions: Louis Smith - Smithville (in stereo for the first time and with the two extra tracks) Kenny Burrell - Freedom Stanley Turrentine - (the follow-up to ’A Bluish Bag’) Larry Young - Contrasts Dexter Gordon - Landslide Sam Rivers - A New Conception Jack Wilson - Song For My Daughter (+ unissued 1969 tracks) OK, that was seven titles; one has to go, but I can't decide which one right now....

Swinging Swede Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 May I suggest a Rare Groove batch too? If not, I’ll take these from Water or some other label! Lou Donaldson - Cosmos Reuben Wilson - On Broadway Jack McDuff - To Seek A New Home Jimmy McGriff - Something To Listen To Gene Harris And The Three Sounds Are the tapes missing to Grant Green’s 'Green Acid'? Otherwise I’d add that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
