Tom in RI Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I have the Omega tape Art Pepper sides on Onyx (1st vinyl issue?) and then on the Blue Note twofer from the 70's. While I like Art Pepper alot, both of these issues have some very unpleasantly harsh moments. Were the original tape issues better? Were they considered audiophile in their day?

Leeway Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I hope you dudes check out my AOTW thread for December 11, where we will (I hope!) be talking about Art Pepper "Straight Life" and any other "Pepper-ana" that you would like to discuss I need some Art fans (critics too, as I know there are) to make a lively discussions.

JohnJ Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Will definitely plan to order the Art Pepper and Andrew Hill Selects, especially if the dollar/yen exchange rate continues to move in my favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can't be true! Scott Wenzel or Michael Cuscuna are lurking somewhere on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Based on past evidence, I believe this to be true. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montg Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Scott Wenzel or Michael Cuscuna are lurking somewhere on this board. When placing an order fairly recently, I asked Scott about an upcoming set that hadn't yet been announced. He told me about it and asked me how I knew it was forthcoming...I mentioned this board and he replied with a knowing 'ahhh yesss...' So, although I don't know how frequently they lurk here, my impression is that they are familiar, at least, with the board. So, MC or SW, if you're listening..'thank you thank you thank you thank you for the Columbia Small group set!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Nelson Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I may have gotten the tip on a forthcoming set when I called Scott the other day. He said,"You ring me again and the next Select will be Cutty Cutshall." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, MC or SW, if you're listening..'thank you thank you thank you thank you for the Columbia Small group set!!! I usually place orders through Fred Pustay, and I know that he's certainly aware of the board--probably in part because of the Mosaic forum here, and partly because the board seems to have developed a strong underground reputation. Lots of great news about the forthcoming titles, that's for sure. Any word on the Johnny Richards Select? Later next year, I'm assuming? I'm really excited about the Andrew Hill, as I had the impression that we wouldn't see that till next autumn or winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I may have gotten the tip on a forthcoming set when I called Scott the other day. He said,"You ring me again and the next Select will be Cutty Cutshall." I guess I'm thick but can someone explain this to me because wasn't he a fairly obscure trombonist (I have to admit that I never heard of him until I saw his name here). Here's his AMG bio: The nickname of this trombonist, spun off of his surname, makes him sound like someone about to run amuck with a pair of scissors. Cutty Cutshall was armed with a trombone, however, and the main cutting he did was either besting other bonemen in jam sessions or simply making records. He evolved into one of the grand old men of the swing revival of the '60s and is on the list of journeymen musicians who passed away alone in their hotel rooms while on tour. Cutshall came out of the Pittsburgh music scene and was pulled away from that town in 1934 to tour with Charley Dornberger. The trombonist worked for two years with Jan Savitt beginning in 1938, then was in and out of the Benny Goodman band through the first half of the '40s, at one point pressed into service by the American military. In the late '40s he was a regular collaborator with Billy Butterfield but also skimmed the New York City freelance cream, filling up several pitchers with discographical entries. By 1949 he had begun a long term relationship with Eddie Condon, whose work in the name of swing included not only bandleading but running a club in which he ruled the bandstand. Cutshall toured England with Condon in 1957; he was also with Condon in the thick of a stint at Toronto's Colonial Tavern at the time of his death. The trombonist also performed and recorded with clarinetist Peanuts Hucko, singers Bob Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald and the great Louis Armstrong during a contract with the Decca label.

Ron S Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) I may have gotten the tip on a forthcoming set when I called Scott the other day. He said,"You ring me again and the next Select will be Cutty Cutshall." Maybe if we ALL start calling him, the next Select will be Kenny G (alternate takes only, of course), or, better yet, they'll do an entire full-blown 8-CD box devoted to Lawrence Welk.

DrJ Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 GREAT news about Addey doing the Pepper and Hill sets...I have always loved the Aladdin Pepper material, sonic imperfections aside, easily my favorite of his stuff even given the excellence of the Contemporary and Galaxy material. CAN'T WAIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryan Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Man, all of these upcoming sets (Selects and regular) look great. Seems like everything Mosaic releases these days is something that I add to the ever-growing "list". I think I need to start buying lottery tickets.

Craig23 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 No kidding, my list keeps getting bigger and bigger also. Maybe its time we try to get Mosaic to release bad sets so people can catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
