sjarrell Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 My wish list (from the "Catching up with Tom Evered" thread at All About Jazz): Connoisseur: Ike Quebec/Singles Sessions 2CD RVG: Hank Mobley: Workout/Another Workout/Dippin'/A Caddy for Daddy Freddie Hubbard: Here to Stay Lee Morgan: Cornbread/The Gigolo Thad Jones: Detroit-NY Junction/Magnificent/Vol. 3 Lou Donaldson: Alligator Bogaloo Jimmy Smith 2CD:A Date with JS/JS at the Organ (or maybe as a couple of Conns instead) Jimmy Smith and LD Stanley Turrentine: That's where it's at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 booker ervin-back from the gig jeremy steig-wayfaring stranger The Booker date is very likely going to be in the next batch of Conns, probably Oct. of 2005 (cuz it very nearly was in this last batch, but there weren't funds available for two new covers, and "Dance With Death" got the nod). Personally, I'll be shocked if "Back From The Gig" isn't in the next batch of Conns. The Jeremy Steig is either Rare Groove material (I'm just guessing, cuz I've never heard it - short of the samples the Beastie Boys have used), or more likely, something BN would only release though Water. Never gonna be an RVG, and probably not a Conn either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Everyone remember tom@bluenote from the old BNBB? As sjarrell mentioned, he is currently posting over on the All About Jazz BB. Here's his list of upcoming releases including March RVGs (this was posted on 8/31): +++ In January we will issues five DVDs of material previously available on VHS and/or Laserdisc: Lena Horne - An Evening With Lena Horne Bobby McFerrin - Spontaneous Inventions Power of Three - Michel Petrucciani, Jim Hall and Wayne Shorter John Scofield - Live Three Ways, w/ Dr. John, Don Pullen, Joe Lovano three different groups The Manhattan Project - Michel Petrucciani, Wayne Shorter, Stanley Clarke and Rachelle Ferrell. Also in January we will ship a hot new bebop/ Bird covers disc from the Italian saxophonist Stefano Battista, featuring Kenny Barron. Also...in March the next batch of RVGs Blakey - A Night In Tunisia Tina Brooks - True Blue Johnny Coles - Little Johnny C Pete LaRoca - Basra Hank Mobley - Hi Voltage Ike Quebec - Heavy Soul Art Blakey - Like Someone In Love Sonny Clark - Dial S For Sonny Grant Green - Feelin' The Spirit Herbie Hancock - Speak Like A Child Wayne Shorter - Night Dreamer Horace Silver - And The Jazz Messengers Also that month we will release a sampler of Rudy's favorite tunes from the RVG series, combined with a DVD featuring a wonderful interview with Rudy mentioned in a posting from a few months ago. We just got advance copies of Jason Moran and Bandwagon's new disc "Same Mother", featuring almost all blues tunes with guest guitarist Marvin Sewell. An amazing group and wonderful recording.

etherbored Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Anyway, I'll try and get your approval ahead of time before I make any future suggestions, hadn't known it was required. ...that's more like it. seriously though, my angle was more along the lines of lobbying for a previously- unissued-on-disc title. Also in January we will ship a hot new bebop/ Bird covers disc from the Italian saxophonist Stefano Battista, featuring Kenny Barron. an *excellent* session. picked it up in vienna last month + it smokes. -e- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherbored Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 ...and *yes*, i do realize this series in not specifically for previously unavailable titles (before another flame materializes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Is it just me, but does anybody else wonder why a Blakey title is a near certainty with almost any given batch of RVGs? Personally, I'd like to see a change-up every now and then from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 There have been several Blakeys and Horace Silvers in the RVG series. Several Hubbards, Joe Hendersons, and Wayne Shorters too. Yeah, how 'bout something different this time? Something like a Lou Donaldson, a Baby Face Wilette, an Art Hodes, a George Braith, or an Ike Quebec.

etherbored Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 my point *exactly*! same ol, same ol... the primary challenge is that EMI licenses the RVG series masters from toshiba and therefore our choices are limited to titles previously isssued in japan, which are the tried and true. :rsmile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'd like an RVG of this Harold Vick just because I believe the cover is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 (edited) If I recall right, Chuck said once that the Harold Vick was the only Conn he didn't own on CD. No reason (again, my vague memory), he just missed it at the time, and never went back for it. (Hell, he probably has the original vinyl. ) Edited December 2, 2004 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 There have been several Blakeys and Horace Silvers in the RVG series. Thing is though, Indestructible, Buhaina's Delight and Free For All are really really good. But I know what you mean. I passed on upgrading several Dexters and Hendersons that came out last summer to buy stuff I hadn't heard instead. But I'm pretty excited about the 1st round of RVGs in March, as Brooks, Quebec, Coles, and La Roca aren't the same old same old. I was "too young" to get True Blue the last time around, and though I have a burn of Basra, notes and the possibility of improved sound are welcome.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 my point *exactly*! same ol, same ol... the primary challenge is that EMI licenses the RVG series masters from toshiba and therefore our choices are limited to titles previously isssued in japan, which are the tried and true. :rsmile: Not true. In fact, the first 50 or so from the US RVG series were actually remastered by Rudy twice. Once for Japan and then again for the US. In fact, RVG may have had to remaster the first US batch twice. The first time, he folded the stereo down too much and Cuscuna had him widen it before release. It was only during the batch of US RVGs where they found some old metal masters i.e. Monk that they decided to merge the remastering efforts. I would say that now, the US decisions may actually be being picked up by Japan. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, how 'bout something different this time? Something like a Lou Donaldson, a Baby Face Wilette, an Art Hodes, a George Braith, or an Ike Quebec. There is an Ike Quebec. See above, a few posts before yours. Looks like a nice batch, BTW. I'm liking the inclusion of the Quebec (first RVG), Brooks (ditto), and the LaRoca date I've heard rave reviews about. Always nice to see a Mobley title in there as well, especially as it's one I don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'm in the camp that agrees that there are way too many Mobleys, Blakeys, Silvers, and Morgans being reissued. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but it would be nice to see something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 ...and don't forget Jimmy Smith. Okay, well how 'bout "Jubilee Shout" or "Z.T's Blues" then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Dye Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I believe the original purpose of the RVG series was to get the best selling catalog items remastered and out in the stores again. I doubt we'll see too many obscure titles like a Vick or a Braith. That's what the Connoisseur series is for. Blakeys and Silvers are their bread and buttah. I say, bring 'em on! Tokyo Blues, Baby!

Gotta disagree with ya there, my friend! As greeeeazy as it gets to these ears! Especially with the Holy Trinity of Greeeeaze: Green-Patton-Dixon! Yeah, we need MUCH more RVGs from these guys!!!

LarryCurleyMoe Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Heya Kevin- Please BEG Michael to reissue "CONSEQUENCE" by Jackie McLean - A BURNIN' SESSION WITH MOGIE! Why this is not out in some form boggles me brain! Another vote here for the J.R. Monterose - Japanese reissue due out this month, but probably without the bonus track...
