Rooster_Ties Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 (edited) OK, maybe you've got it on CD, as part of a big box set, or now-long-out-of-print import, but what about your jazz buddies who don't have it, and can't get it without paying a mint for it on eBay??? OK, what albums do you really wish were not only on CD, but on CD in the U.S. (or in your part of the world), in a nice "reasonably" priced single-CD format (meaning not available only as part of some huge box set), so that you could easily tell other people "they gotta get this one!!!". One that comes to mind is Joe Henderson's "Power To The People", which is probably my favorite non-Blue Note release from Joe. Another one, that will be fixed soon (in October!!!) is Larry Young's "Mother Ship!!" What albums should be easily available to everyone, for a decent price??? - that currently aren't!!!

J Larsen Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 On album that has been strongly recommended to me repeatedly is Max Roach's We Insist. I'd love to see that one come out domestically. Quote
John B Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 I'll second Mother Ship and, off the top of my head, add: Warne Marsh - Ne Plus Ultra Quote
BFrank Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 Max Roach - "The Loadstar" with Billy Harper. Quote
undergroundagent Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 (edited) Tom, "Power to the People" has been out for a long time on cd. I've had mine for close to 2 years. I'll trade you mine if you really want it...I haven't been listening to it. My choice: Reuben Wilson "On Broadway" Other than that my 2 CTI issues that I prayed for are finally coming to disc in June...."Keep Your Soul Together" & "Polar AC" both by Freddie Hubbard. Edited May 12, 2003 by undergroundagent Quote
AfricaBrass Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 I wish much of the Strata East catalog was available. Also, some of the Muse albums that 32 jazz didn't reissue would be nice. And a couple thousand other things.... :rsmile: Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 12, 2003 Author Report Posted May 12, 2003 "Power to the People" has been out for a long time on cd. I've had mine for close to 2 years. I'll trade you mine if you really want it...I haven't been listening to it. Hadn't realized that this had come out by itself?? I thought "Power to the People" was only available as part of the big Joe Henderson "Milestone" box set, or as as some sort of import (I thought I read from Italy - ??). Anyway, I'm pretty sure it isn't available as a regular domestic release from OJC/Fantasy. (It wasn't in their on-line catalog anyway.) Appreciate the offer, undergroundagent. I already have the Joe "Milestone" box, but might take you up on it. Lemme think about it. (We can take it up through PM's or e-mail.) Quote
BFrank Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 I wish much of the Strata East catalog was available. :rsmile: Have you tried Dusty Groove? They have a fair amount of Strata East stuff - expecially Tolliver on both CD and LP. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 Thanks BFrank! I didn't know that. I have a couple Tolliver's already, but I'll check it out. I've avoided Dusty Groove because I know I'll get in trouble if I shop there. I hear that place is addictive. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 For the umpteenth time -- Harold Land "Take Aim". If BN can work the magic on Mobley's "Flip" LP --which is one of the 'tinniest' sounding recordings I've ever heard --and spit that out as a Connoisseur, 'Take Aim' should be mere child's play for them. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 Ornette Coleman trio WHO'S CRAZY? (both volumes on import lps---never seen 'em on CD) Now that we be talkin' Onet - the Croyden concert would be nice. Over the years I've ordered Japanese reissues 3 or 4 times, only to be bummed. Quote
davef Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 The Johnny Hodges and Wild Bill Davis albums with Grant Green on guitar, Joe's Blues and Wings and Things. also.. Andrew Hill - Andrew! This assuming that the Mosaic Select for John Patton comes out this year, for "That Certain Feeling". Quote
BruceH Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 (edited) Another vote for Take Aim by Harold Land. And the BN debut albums of Clifford Jordan and Johnny Griffin. While we're on the subject, how about a Clifford Jordan Select? (OK, that's kind of off-topic, but still...) Edited May 13, 2003 by BruceH Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 13, 2003 Author Report Posted May 13, 2003 Ornette Coleman trio WHO'S CRAZY? (both volumes on import lps---never seen 'em on CD) I've got the "Who's Crazy" set on CD, and there's a chance I might be willing to part with it. I haven't spun it in a long, long time. And if it's been that long, then I'm temped to consider whether I really need it or not. I make no promises, but I'll give it a spin a few times over the next couple days, and see if I feel the desparate urge to keep it or not. (David, you've got right of first refusal, if I decide to part with it - that is if you're interested.) Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Cecil Taylor Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Live in the Black Forrest Though I understand that these two Cecil Taylor's are under consideration to be released for the first time on CD by MPS but only in Europe I believe. Several by Peter Brotzmann, Alexander Schlippenbach, Joe McPhee, etc... From labels like FMP & Hathut to name a few. Thelonious Monk It's Monk's Time Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 13, 2003 Author Report Posted May 13, 2003 (edited) So, then, what's the scoop on Joe Henderson's "Power to the People"?? Is it only available as an import?? Is it available in a jewel-box?? - or (as I suspect), only in one of those god-awful "mini-LP" formats. Of all of Joe's Milestone material, "Power..." really needs to be available domestically as a single-CD release. (IMHO), it's by far Joe's best Milestone release (and I like most of them), and one could argue that it's his best album after leaving Blue Note (or at least certainly one of them). ===== Just answered my own question, at Dusty Groove... Milestone/Universe (Italy), 1969 Condition: New Copy One of the best, and certainly the rarest, of the Joe Henderson electric sides from the early 70s! The record features Joe hitting a wonderful warm spiritual vibe -- playing with an excellent group that features Herbie Hancock on electric piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums -- plus additional trumpet by Mike Lawrence on 2 tracks. Tracks are long and flowing -- with a mode that's a perfect bridge between Joe's Blue Note work, and the spiritual soul jazz sound of the 70s! Titles include "Black Narcissus", "Isotope", "Afro-Centric", and "Power to The People". (Issued in a cool 5" gatefold cover!) So, then, what's "Universe"?? And what else are they reissuing?? And why isn't Fantasy/OJC putting this out?? Edited May 13, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Big John Patton, "That Certain Feeling." One of his best. More Duke Pearson stuff, like perhaps "Profile," or "Tender feelins" Grant Green, "Visions" Quote
Ed S Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 After hearing Nat Adderley's Soul of the Bible I'd like to see Soul Zodiac be reissued on CD. Perhaps it would make a nice Rare Groove. Quote
Dan Gould Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Gloria Coleman, Soul Sisters on Impulse with Grant Green and Leo Wright Jon Hendricks, A Good Git Together on World Pacific with Nat and Cannonball among others. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 A Good Git Together .....and not to forget the Jazztet's "Another Git Together" (Mercury) Quote
marcoliv Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Hi! i would like to see on CD Hubert Laws - Family (a beautiful Ravel´s Bolero version there) and Chuck Mangione - Tarantella. peace Marcus Oliveira Quote
