Yes! Only found out about this a few weeks ago and had to buy it right away. Excellent!

bump - no one?

Just popped in the VME reissue of "Sonny Rollins and the Big Brass" after many years (the weird channel separation mix is crap, but the music is great): And now I wonder that Loren Schoenberg was thinking (or smoking or whatever his preferred way of consumption is) when he wrote about the brass session that Dick Katz' rhythm section mates are Jimmy Bond and Frankie Dunlop? Whatever info I find gives Henry Grimes and Roy Haynes, and of course there's also René Thomas (though insofar as he's not doing constant strumming he may correctly be considered no part of the rhythm section). Anyone has any knowledge or knows of any indications that the personnel usually given may be incorrect? (It's not Dunlop I'd say, but I've just stopped listening to catch a live-stream that cannot be revisited later on ...)

Very, very sad

Very nice indeed, Pim!

Here's the Pantounnnnnne colour of the year for ya: https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2021

Hoping for a CD version ... as for info/tracklists, I'd assume this is about as good as it gets at this time (1970-07-10/11/12): https://www.press.umich.edu/pdf/9780472115020-Discography.pdf

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply to all of our comments, rants etc. @david weiss - most interesting! Oh, btw. Sun Ra Arkestra, "Swirling" on Strut: three different versions in three formats, it seems (I've got CD and DL, 10 and 13 tracks, respectively, the LP has 11, including one of the three tracks omitted on the CD - making only the DL complete ... and oddly, the LP switches sequence of the tracks, within a side but also across sides). Also, Firehouse12 has done similar releases (by Taylor Ho Bynum and Tyshawn Sorey: complementing partial LP and CD releases with, I think, no overlap, each coming with complete DLs).

Well yeah, not composed by Miles Davis, but copyrighted, no? Merikin law and all that

Uhm, nothing really - I was expressing the fact that when I heard about the upcoming release many moons ago (expectation management is something Resonance really does work hard on ... and apologies, but there as well I do not always think their choices are swell), I was *hoping* this might now be a radio archival version to replace the bootleg with. As for the speed fixes, I'm only the messenger there, but feel free to behead me, no problem Interesting, many thanks! This Rollins set, though, is not one that ought to be marketed for casual listeners - it doesn't have good enough sound for that (with the exception of the studio session kicking things off!), and it may be too challenging musically for many, as well ... but hey, from the business side it's sales (but there's an underlying business rationale there, too, isn't there? Will people continue buying Resonance product if they feel this is "bad" because the sound quality keeps them from enjoying it?) The "industry wide mandate" is bogus b-s in my opinion - and it may be related to the industry being in deep sh*t: they're unwilling/unable to cope with different formats, see the ups and downs for each etc. And since it seems you did suggest the edits (after all, considering circumstances, they had to be done and thus had to be done by someone!): chapeau! Pretending for a sec that I agree they're a necessity: they're well-done - that's for sure. And I'm serious now!

Was about 20/21 when I started following the BNBB ... about to turn 24 when this site started. By the "turning numbers" game I'd be 14, but that's an age I definitely don't feel a need to revisit

Me too! But doing the comparing last Sunday was really quite a bit of a disillusionary thing (and hey, I didn't post here immediately ... by then I'd stopped alternatively fuming/cursing and crying )

Oh wow, gotta get this for the bonus tracks then!

It's a 2 CD set. They should've made it 3 CDs though and included all of it, unedited (what's there should have fit onto two discs, unedited - but they also omitted three incomplete tracks, which has been mentioned somewhere in this thread). And I'm bi-fold there, Resonance has done lots of good stuff (Wes Montgomery, Jones/Lewis, Larry Young, Getz and Getz/Gilbert, the Bill Evans trio with DeJohnette etc.) so I'll keep being interested. I was a bit ... irritated by the Dolphy (but then that one's great, as the Douglas material has not been on any decent CD version so far) ... and now the Rollins definitely is a partial hack-job, alas Oh, and the Nat King Cole box is great - for those few left that care for that wonderful musician!

Well no, he *applied* them (or had someone do it)! I have a hunch that "our" bootleg source (yes, it is available ...) was the source, the quick fade at the end of "Dolphin Street/..." is exactly the same, and from the Loosdrecht material it's pretty obviously Resonance would not have gotten the speed right for the Arnhem portions. Here's the full list of work done to the Arnhem set (first part by yours truly, second part by a musician friend who's known over on dime for his great work fixing speed and other other stuff on a variety of ROIOs, which I still prefer to "bootleg" as none of us is making any money with this): Edits: - delete silence/noise before CD1#1 - moved mark CD1#1/2: +6sec - copied right channel into left on CD1#2 (0:09-3:07) applied 3dB cut on left channel (copied part got much louder than the right channel originally was/is) - deleted 0.4sec dropout @ 23:09 in CD1#1 (skip remains audible) - deleted tiny dropout @ 24:02 in CD1#1 (skip remains audible) - moved mark CD1#2/3: -1.5sec, deleted 0.1sec dropout - copied right channel into left on CD1#3 (5:20-6:09, 7:08-8:53, 11:22-11:25) applied 3dB cut on left channel (copied part got much louder than the right channel originally was/is) - separated CD1#4 from CD1#3 - spliced intro of CD2#1 (a bit too loud) from duplicated partial version of same tune that followed CD1#3 (after the 13:12 cut), deleted duplicated track (7:34, faded at end) - copied right channel into left on CD2#1 (6:15-8:21) applied 3dB cut on left channel (copied part got much louder than the right channel originally was/is) - moved mark CD2#1/2: -1.6sec, delected 0.1sec dropout - deleted tiny dropout CD2#2 12:17 - copied right channel into left on CD2#2 (17:43-18:14, 18:41-19:21) applied 3dB cut on left channel (copied part got much louder than the right channel originally was/is) - deleted last 19sec of CD2#2 (duplication of beginning of CD2#3) - deleted first 5.4sec of CD2#3 (duplication of applause of CD2#2) - copied right channel into left on CD2#3 (0:00-0:06) applied 3dB cut on left channel (copied part got much louder than the right channel originally was/is) - moved mark CD2#3/4: +38sec, deleted 0.1sec dropout around old mark, deleted noisy applause and silence (18.6sec), added fade-out - deleted last 7.5sec of CD2#4 (duplication) - moved mark CD2#4/5: +9sec, deleted 0.1sec dropout around old mark - deleted silence at end of CD2#5 (4sec) Notes: - CD1#2 came as "Four - Don't Stop the Carnival", but it's mainly "Four" with Sonny quoting various other tunes in a free-flowing improvisation - CD1#3 was followed by an incomplete version of CD2#1, the intro was longer on CD1#3, I spliced that onto CD2#1 and deleted the rest - CD2#3 came as just "Three Little Words" - I am not sure if there are two or just one other tunes following or what they are. Pitch of all tracks was approx. 55 cents sharp. CD2 t03 was approx. an additional 49 cents from approx. 21:33:07 til the end; (these times taken after initial correction.) CD1 - Track 1 - Fixed glitch at 2:09:70-2:09:72; 3:47:73; 03:33:57; gap at 21:53:71-21:54:02 removed; deleted beginning to 00:00:32 - it was only noise. Retracked at 21:53:22 (cut til end, paste to 2, fade 1) CD1 - Track 2 - Fixed glitches at 3:27:06 in the left channel; 00:19:70 CD1 - Track 3 - Fixed glitch at 5:40:46. Deleted 13:37:72 til the end - it was only noise. CD2 - Track 1 - Fixed small click at 00:15:05. Reduced volume from beginning til 00:15:05 by 4.5 dB. CD2 - Track 2 - Fixed 3 clicks at 13:14:31, 13:18:56, 13:55:49, 14:19:05; cut last 00:08:28 after fade til end to paste to next track CD2 - Track 3 - Fixed click at 00:05:44-47, pasted 00:08:28 to beginning. CD2 - Track 4 - Reduced glitch at 50:30:55-61 All tracks have been phase corrected and amplified +3dB. Some fades added to smooth transitions. So yeah, plenty of painstaking work ... my hope when I saw the announcement from Resonance was obviously that they found a better source, possibly even a radio source and not the AUD (I guess) that has been in circulation ... but alas not. -- And thanks @Mark Stryker - following your work, though I've not made my way all through the Detroit book just yet. -- Would certainly love to hear that!!!

Well drop notes for grifting whatever ... whomever ... whenever.

This!

Doesn't work for the DETS series, alas

a sammich?

I recently bought all of the Dexter Gordon w/Tete Montoliu series on Steeplechase, first two were CD-Rs, rest CDs ... got another couple of CD-Rs by Gordon. Add Storyville to the list, at least as far as earlier Volumes of the DETS series go (Duke Ellington Treasury Series) - I've got about half a dozen which I'd love to replace by the real thing, eventually. At least they (both Steeplechase and Storyville) do offer properly photocopied booklets (on somewhat thin paper, but back in the day of the RVG series, Blue Note CDs used to come with booklets printed on really thin paper, often with traces (folds) from manufaturing/slipping booklet into case over here). What really puts me off is the fact that most of these labels don't bother to declare what's CD and what's CD-R - so you can't even blame the vendor (how is he to know what a sealed jewel case contains if the label doesn't tell him?) It's a dilemma really: those of us who still buy physical product don't want CD-Rs, the labels need to keep in print a reasonably attractive catalogue so we don't fully forget about them, they can't afford to keep CDs in print, they end up pissing off the few customers left ...

Over here, fine (3-4€ shipping, free shipping if I combine a few items), only a.de has it with a price tat, and that one's bit on the high side (25€, though that will certainly change as the release date comes closer) - but I don't like to make that fegher even more dirty rich. Ordered plenty of stuff from musicians and labels and (particularly Bandcamp Fridays) during this year, and plan to stick to that as much as possible (though I still occasionally do need my A account, alas). For a.com orders, shipping is in that same range, i.e. 12-14 $ for a CD, I think - it's been a while that I had to go that route.

int'l shipping is 13 something US $ ... if the Bayete was in stock right now, I might try for two, but I guess I'll wait for it to reach the shores of Catalonia I sure hope they did! They seem to have done fine on the Art Pepper reissues, or else we'd all know, right?

stfo now, willya!

Thanks, that's great to know! The bootleg came with very little usable information, not even the date was quite clear ... Oh, and how I'd love to have this memory!!!
