Interesting Info by west coast researche Mr. Jim Harrod in another forum: It is good to know that the Pacific Jazz archive is still being mined for reissues although I’m not among the market for these high end analog vinyl gems in Blue Note’s “Tone Poet” series. LP’s to be reissued in 2024 include: Gil Evans - Great jazz Standards, Chet Baker Sings & Plays (PJ-1202), Lee Konitz Plays with Gerry Mulligan, Gerald Wilson - Moment of Truth, The Remarkable Carmell Jones, Joe Pass for Django, Chet Baker / Art Pepper - Picture of Heath, and Curtis Amy / Dupree Bolton - Katanga. Here is the announcement from Jazziz: Blue Note Announces 2024 Tone Poet Reissues: Blue Note Records has announced the 2024 lineup for the Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series. The series is produced by “Tone Poet” Joe Harley and features definitive all-analog vinyl reissues of acknowledged treasures of the Blue Note catalog, as well as underrated classics, modern-era standouts and albums from other labels under the Blue Note umbrella, including Pacific Jazz, Transition and United Artists. Newly announced titles begin January 5, at the start of Blue Note’s 85th anniversary year, with the release of Elvin Jones’ Poly-Currents (1969) and Lou Donaldson’s Midnight Creeper (1968).

😁 👍 Yes the 1972 concert in Stuttgart. Have about on 4 open reels different portions from the radio recorded at that time when it was broadcasted by Zimmerle I guess. Didnt expect it would appear on CD. Same as the Rosengarten concert from Mannheim.

This is my X-mas present from me to me (sorry ---> no vinyl! Should appear in the other thread) Some groups are found too on Contemporary vinyls Yep! Here too in the stock. Vinyls are the best.

Excellent! 😁 👍 Love that piano style 😁

A good series ' The Charlie Parker Story' on Verve - have vol. 1 to 3 Another series is: 'The genius of Charlie Parker' have Vol. 4 to 6 + Vol. 8

Transition LP 1

There isnt much "Traditional Jazz" found here at Organissimo. But here is an interesting crossection from a festival in Stuttgart 1984 representing some leading groups from Germany in that style. Indeed 4 top albums! All here on vinyl. The "Trombones" appeared also with this cover and different title:

Koala Records P 11 [Hör Zu edition] - Wolfgang Schlüter " Swing Revival" rec. 1965 Hamburg

👍 😁

A Stan Kenton arranger with his own orchestra and vinyl

😁 👍

Yep! One of several concerts in Germany. Have it taped from the radio Others are Live at Ernst Merck Halle, Hamburg 1956/04 Sound of Yesteryear Kenton in Stockholm 1956 Swedish Radio Years More interesting are the recordings from his first European Tour 1953 including Concert in Wiesbaden 1953 Astral Jazz Artistry in Paris 1953 Jasmine (2) live in Munich 1953-Deutsches Museum 1953 Sounds of Yesteryear and on tape / cassette: Kenton,Stan RB Rias 1953/08/27 CD-R Berlin,Sportpal USA Holman/Schildkraut/Childers Kenton,Stan RB Rias 1953/08/28 7"(2) Berlin USA Christy,June

I do support that. I came to Kenton via his great 1950s orchestra and the Capitol issues. He himself was also a good arranger: - Portrais & Sketches of Standards - Kenton presents (with Art Pepper) - New Concepts of Artistry in Rhythm - Contemporary Concepts and the great - Showcase (with Holman & Russo arranging) This period ended with "Back To Balboa" IMO & I lost him when the 'Neophonic Era' began with the Mellophoniums and that bombastic Wagner Interpretation. Yes he was a restless searcher as DB printed it. The recent discovered 1952 Stereo tracks from The Blue Note Club are again a highlight for me. What a Band with all the later West Coast stars. Among my more than 100 Kenton Items the 1950s are the best sounding Items for me. Here is something extra

😁 Have it. Seldom seen in forums

IMO its not a 'ghost' band but an orchestra on its own based on a majority of members of the former TH-ML Orchestra. The sound is very alike but missing are Thad's arrangements and Thas & Mel naturally. OTOH they had invited some famous guests. In connection with Sal Mosca (one of the leading members) and another person connected to the former TH-ML Orchestra we collected various concerts and produced for a little cicle of interested fans the following concerts from that band on private CD-Rs: All I can say great big band music missing so much in Organissimo

I am one of the people liking Pete Christliebs's tenorsax and ofcourse the rest of that CD

😁 👍 Both excellent and here in the stock 👍 😁

Also very interesting. Have never seen this one.

Signature SM 6011 [FSR reissue 1987] - Jimmy Rowles - rec. 1960
