Anyone pick up any of the early U2?
I saw them remastered on LP, Deluxe CD and regular remastered CD
I'm waiting for a price break on the Deluxe sets of the first three, but got the Deluxe set on 'The Joshua Tree' a while ago, and the sound was terrific, a great improvement. I would have liked to have gotten the super-deluxe version with the DVD, but it is way too pricey. I consider 'War' to be their best studio album ('Under A Blood Red Sky' their best overall), and "I Will Follow" from 'Boy' and "Gloria" from 'October' their best songs, so I am really looking to getting the three early titles in these reissues.

Here in the US, Morrisey was best known as the leader of If, which many felt was the best jazz-rock band of the late 60s-early 70s.
Their albums were pretty spectacular, well worth the import prices you'll pay for them in the USA. Would have loved to see them live.
-
I'll put in another vote for "That's Where It's At". Didn't expect to be blown away by that one (I'm not big on McCann from that period, though I really like the "Swiss Movement"/"Invitation To Openness"/"Live At Montreux" recordings later on), but I was/am.

what is up with this whole sound quality bag, who would give up an oppourtunity to hear live brownie becasue of sound quality-- if every jazz recording i have was DTS dolby 5.1 i think i'd have to kill myself
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I'm not a sound quaility geek by any means, and I love Clifford Brown, but the original Bee Hive release was basically unlistenable to me. Even advance warning didn't prepare me for how bad the sound was, sort of like some of the Bird stuff floating around and the Miles Davis/Jimmy Forrest recordings. Stuff you wouldn't believe any one would consider releasable. I haven't heard the "More ..." release.
-
mikeweil,i agree with you completely. how they can release three complete albums by bobbi humphrey,and do a butcher job on jeremy steig,is beyond me.
And the Humphrey reissues are the three Larry Mizell schlock jobs rather than the other three, fairly interesting earlier releases she had on Blue Note.
-
Listening to Tyrone Washington's 1967 Blue Note set, 'Natural Essence' on headphones. Joe Chambers is mind-blowing on this! I always knew he was really good, but seems to be on a whole other level on this one. Maybe it's just my Friday afternoon mood, but he, Barron, and Workman are one amazing rhythm section with Washington and Woody Shaw here.
-
This is one of the most disappointing resissues from Blue Note in some time!
:tdown Hope it's not a sign of things to come. Is "Horace Silver Plays For Lovers" around the corner?
-
Thanks for that Jack, more than slightly off-putting.
Yep, the Zoot overdubbed session I have gives me the creeps when I hear it, as do those overdubbed Signal "music minus one" sessions reissued on Savoy, despite the stellar personnel. Maybe it's just my knowing they're overdubbed, and ignorance would be bliss, but all of the above sound stiff to me.

3 CD/1 DVD career retrospective box set by Weather Report, "Forecast Tomorrow", available in trade for something equally interesting. Box set on CBS/Legacy has three remastered CD's spanning their 15 years of recordings (including a couple of rarities, but mainly the basics), and the DVD is a two hour concert from the late 70's. Nice book with the set, which comes in a 6"x12" long box. Played once, excellent condition. PM me if interested. Probably only makes sense in USA because the set is heavy and would cost a lot to mail overseas, but I'm open to that if someone overseas really wants it.
What are the rarities?
10:44 minute extended remix of "Eurydice", studio version of "Directions" from 1971, 13:05 minute live 1974 version of "Nubian Sundance", DJ Logic Remix of "125th Street Congress".
-
Universal could couple this with the Mercury album and sell 1500 copies.
Guess that means it will be up to Lonehill/Gambit/Jazz Factory/Definitive to put it out.
-
any dates for these? Time for me to take another Philly trip -
You might even be able to drag me along to a couple of these.
I'd be up for the Sanders/Drake and the Zankel depending on date and work schedule.

why are the Giants of Jazz billed as Blakey & ... ?
So that they can include cuts from it on the future releases "Art Blakey Plays for Lovers", "Art Blakey Concord Profiles", "Best of Art Blakey", "Art Blakey Bluesing", "Art Blakey Jazz Showcase" and "Brushed Art", Silly!

All but one shipments have gone out. Thanks again. Don Grolnick and a couple of Rene Urtreger CDs added above.
I'll probably keep this going until Chicago Jazz Fest and then pull the plug. Everything left will go to Reckless, Jazz Record Mart, Dusty Groove or the charity shops.
I can't clean out my inbox right now, so if a PM bounces, just post below. Thanks. I'll deal with the inbox in a couple more hours.
PM sent on the following:
Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath
John Surman - Tales of the Algonquin (Vocalion)
Charles Lloyd/Billy Higgins - Which Way is East (2 CD set) - a few very light marks not affecting play

by the way, I'm not exaggerating -
No wonder it's rare - you own the entire supply in your basement! BTW, very nice CD, well worth the money if you like Cohn/Sims (I got it from Allen a while ago).

Ruth Naomi Floyd (my wife's old roomate) will be live in concert in Philadelphia on November 15. Her group that night will include the great flute player James Newton, well-known saxophonist Gary Thomas, Bryan Carrott ( the best vibes player out there to my ears - has never been properly caught on record), pianist James Weidman (her musical director), bassist Matthew Parrish, and drummer Mark Prince. The concert is at 7:30, details can be found here:
http://www.ruthnaomifloyd.com/images/concert.pdf
Earlier that same day will be a symposium on The Historical Roots of Jazz and It's Relation to the Christian Faith. Symposium speakers include Newton (who is also a visiting professor of ethnomusicology at University of Los Angeles), Weidman (also an adjunct professor at William Patterson University), Dr. Larry Ridley (the wonderful 60's-70's bassist who is currently Executive Director of the African-American Jazz Caucus and is Professor Emeritus from Rutgers University), and six other experts in the field. The Symposium is from 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM on the same date, and details can be found here:
http://www.ruthnaomifloyd.com/images/symposium.pdf
Tickets to the symposium are $15 in advance, to the Symposium, $20 in advance to the concert, both bargains. Felser and Mrs. Felser wouldn't miss this day! Any one else interested, drop me a line and we can meet up.
Lee Morgan Live at the Lighthouse
in Album Of The Week
Posted
First jazz album I ever bought, and it was good enough to inspire me to 36 more years worth (and counting). "Absolutions" especially was amazing to my 17 year old ears. Also one of the great CD reissue jobs by Blue Note, getting all that other material released in the package. I got to meet Mickey Roker several years ago at a Shirley Scott piano concert at the Ethical Society in Philly, and he is a very kind and dignified man. Bennie Maupin and Harold Mabern are also really strong on this album. I also liked the next Lee Morgan album, 'Lee Morgan', with Billy Harper and Moncur on board. That's the one with the amazing version of "Capra Black".
