Has anyone actually heard the Tolliver? Has it appeared on cd before?

Is this just apathy, or a way to get the last word in?

Yes that's the one! I had it in my grubby little hands once at the Tower at Lincoln Center years ago, and regretably took a pass because I thought the price was too steep. Little did I know....................

They're also looking into a Keith Jarrett Select of the trio/quartet Atlantic/Vortex recordings. Let the flames begin!!! Including Restoration Ruin? Trpt2345 No. And this Select is by no means definite yet. MC just said in his email to me that it's something he'd LIKE to do.

What? No Miles?

.......and Willisau 1991, dagnabit!!!

To each his own I guess. Johnny Mac almost seems afraid to take any long gut-wrenching solos. As far as Kenny Garrett goes, I think we all know that he can play. It's what he currently chooses to play that we take exception to. However I don't think he's played as well as he did in the mid 90s when he made that album with Metheny. As a matter of fact, I saw them together with Nat Reeves and Brian Blade, and Kenny just blew the roof off the place. Sorry, but I don't hear that in this recording. FWIW, my favorite track on the Five Peace Band release is "In a Silent Way/It's About That Time" with Herbie guesting. It figures that Chick and John would find their "common ground" on a Miles track.

I believe the Art Farmer Mosaic Single "The Time and the Place" was recorded at MoMA, which still puts on jazz concerts to this day during the summer months. I saw Brandon Ross with Roy Haynes' son Graham on trumpet a couple of years ago. The Philadelphia Museum of Art still puts on jazz concerts YEAR-ROUND. I saw Eric Alexander with Harold Mabern there, and the Maria Schneider Orchestra, and some group called . . . ummmm, let's see . . . what was the name again . . . oh yeah, ORGANISSIMO! The MoMA concerts are outdoors. You're in the Northeast so you know what weather's like in NY in the Winter. The Art After 5 (as they're called) shows at the Philly Art Museum are every Friday evening in the museum's Great Stair Hall, so weather generally isn't an issue. If you're ever in Philly and get a chance to attend, it's well worth it: http://www.philamuseum.org/artafter5/ Thanks! I'll do that.

More hype than substance. Overall, it's ok, with disc 2 being much better than disc 1. The problem for me is that the music does not have any "sustained heat". That and the fact that I'm not crazy about McBride's electric bass playing. FWIW, I believe that the Return to Forever reunion is a much better listen. Oh well. Corea is still a standout musician, but, and I hate to say this, McLaughlin may be on a steep downward spiral, especially considering his last few solo releases.

It turns out that 10 are being released on 4/14. In addition to the 4 listed above, the remaining 6 are: Roy Ayers - He's Coming Gato Barbieri - Chapter Two: Hasta Siempre Stan Getz - At the Shrine Terry Gibbs - Swing is Here Johnny Hodges - Used to be Duke Keith Jarrett - Treasure Island

This is only 9. The five Coltranes from the 3rd Impulse box are coming out individually on 3/24. What is the 5th one that is coming out on 4/14?

AC????? Still cold here in NY!!! Count your blessings.

Yo jazzbo!!! What in heck are you doing online?

thanks for letting me know, Lon. Has anyone heard yet whether a replacement disc for One Step Beyond is available? I've been searching Blue Note's site and other various places on the internet every day for information on this. If anyone should hear about a replacement disc, please either post it here or on the breakout thread that I had created for this. Thanks! Word from Jerry Roche (head of Mighty Quinn) at Mosaic is that the One Step Beyond correction will take about another month.

thanks for letting me know, Lon. Has anyone heard yet whether a replacement disc for One Step Beyond is available? Too soon. I'd wait at least another month.

Speculation was that DG's partnership with Universal for their reissue label might have something to do with it. Thanks. I hadn't even thought of this, and what do you know? It makes sense!!!

Worlds Records usually gets these ahead of all else. Their prices are reasonable, and for orders over $25, shipping is free. I didn't know that Dusty had dropped out of the Andorran reissue game entirely. Is there a reason why?

If it did, Rudy did it by mistake

Well, you suck

Reread my first post on the subject. This disc now has the alternate as track 5. On the old disc it was track 2. The thing that they did the same was tack on the ending of the alternate of "Saturday and Sunday", to the beginning of track 2. This translates as follows: The old disc had the ending of the alternate of Saturday and Sunday tacked to the front of the alternate of Saturday and Sunday. The new RVG has the same ending of the alternate of Saturday and Sunday again tacked to the beginning of track 2, which NOW is Frankenstein. I don't know if this means that all they are doing is tweaking old copies, but there is definitely some sort of disconnect happening at Blue Note. I knew what you meant, though I don't believe I communicated it properly. It still bugs me that Blue Note let this come out like that. I bet Swinging Swede is right on the mark in his assessment. That's what I infer from the fact that the 2000 remastering in my Japanese RVG sounds better than the 2008 remastering in the new American RVG. However, it also occurs to me that the tapes are 8 years older. Could that account for much more deterioration in sound? Who knows?

i have the old tocj of this mclean album. it does not have any alternates. is this one ok? please say, yes! a simple yes is all i need now! Let's just say that I am of the opinion that the Japanese do a much better job with cd production (better stock, beveled edges, etc.). Therefore, having a TOCJ of this album, would definitely not be a bad thing, if you get my drift. My one regret when it comes to my love of jazz is having gotten caught up in the re-re-re-re-issue craze ad infinitum. I fear it might be too late for me. But feel free to save yourself. Run, run away

Against my better judgment, I'll comment on sound issues. The sonics on this RVG, IMHO, clearly place third behind the sonics on the Japanese RVG (done in 2000) and the McMastered Moncur Select (done in 2003). Read into this what you want and take it fwiw.
