brownie Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 Saw a full batch of Sonet reissues during a quick visit to one of the record stores. These came from Universal but could not find any mention of them on Universal (or other) sites. Among the CD reissues I noticed were the following: Al Cohn/Zoot Sims 'Motoring Along', Art Farmer 'Sleeping Bee' Bob Brookmeyer 'Back Again' with Jimmy Rowles, Ruby Braff 'Them Their Eyes', Benny Carter All Stars, with Nat Adderley and Red Norvo Sonny Stitt 'In Walked Sonny' with Art Blakey Sonny Stitt 'Sonny Side Up'. All of them included additional sides and/or alternate tracks. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 Good news! Of those I only have "Motoring Along" but it's a great cd! Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 I have Motoring Along, too, picked it up for about $5, in excellent shape. I'd like to get that Benny Carter for sure ... Quote
brownie Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Posted July 20, 2004 All right, Lon and Dan but do you have those with the additional tracks? Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 Just the original album, Brownie. Had no idea there had ever been Sonet CDs, let alone a new reissue program. Quote
brownie Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Posted July 20, 2004 I'm pretty sure very few of those have made it to CDs yet. Hope to find a full list of the reissue program! Quote
jazzbo Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 Right, I haven't ever seen any of the other titles on cd, and haven't seen alternates. . . this is good news. Quote
Claude Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 There is a list of the Sonet reissues on the german Jazzecho (=Universal) website: Reissues des schwedischen Jazzlabels Sonet Records (18.06.2004) Click on the icon for details on every album. Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 Thanks for the link, Claude. Definitely want the Carter, the Bop Session, and probably the Stitt/Blakey. On the Carter, I notice that Nat Adderley takes a vocal-is it reasonable to assume he sings the Oscar Brown lyrics to Work Song, and if so, did he ever do that before or after? Quote

Indeed vocals on Work Song. Quote

ghost of miles Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 I picked up a 2-CD Don Cherry Sonet in Ann Arbor about five years ago. Quote

Cheers, Tjobbe Tjobbe, saw the bunch - though I don't think I saw the Chet Baker Candy - at Gibert Musique on the Boulevard Saint-Michel, one of the best place to buy records over here. They had a New Release special price of just over 10€ for these CDs. PM or e-mail me if you need other adresses. Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 So, anyone know of any English websites selling these? Quote

Dan Gould Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 Now I see, its in the upcoming releases section. Thanks. Quote
Alfred Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 Amazon.de offer the Sonets for €9.99 (regular price, no special offer)! Quote
king ubu Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 I picked up a 2-CD Don Cherry Sonet in Ann Arbor about five years ago. My only Sonet release, too, but a good one! Thanks for bringing these up, brownie! ubu Quote
king ubu Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 The Carter, Bebop and Al & Zoot one sure look good! As does the Brookmeyer! Hey, more Thad Jones in a small group! Anyone knows more about that Brookmeyer? ubu Quote

Anyone knows more about that Brookmeyer? ubu Big Brookmeyer fan here. 'Back Again' was the title of that Sonet album and it was a welcome title since this was Brookmeyer's return to the recording scene after a too long absence. I was not disappointed. It's a very good date with all the right associates (Thad Jones, Jimmy Rowles, etc.). Excellent engineering by Elvin Campbell who was responsible for the great sound of many Sonet albums. Quote
king ubu Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 Is this the complete listing? Ten releases? http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/search-ha...7375445-5705367 Note the PRIZE REDUCTION! Got so far the Carter, Farmer, Sims/Cohn, and Stitt/Blakey. Want at least the Brookmeyer, too, but again, I might up having all of them. Anyone can tell something on the Kessel/Mitchell, Baker, Braff, and Bop Session? ubu Quote
