Harold_Z Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Another vote for the Columbia Hot Fives. The JSP is VERY good, and was the best issue UNTIL the Columbia came out. I have both- the sets aren't complete duplicates of one another repetoire-wise. Quote
Saint Vitus Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Chris They just released the first 3 Vol.s of the Hot Five and Seven as single CD's. I can't imagine what more they can do with that material considering they already put it out as a box a couple years ago outside of maybe SACD. That might be it, mnytime--I'll ask them. Chris, your name is credited for photography in this round of reissues ... according to AMG. Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 3 Quote
Claude Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Concering Louis Armstrong Hot Fives/Hot Sevens: I'm wondering if major labels have any interest in reissuing music that has no copyright protection anymore (70 years in the US, 50 years in Europe). They would have to compete against other legally issued box sets by small labels such as JSP or Definitive. Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I'd like them to reissue Stephane Grappelli's "Uptown Dance". Horacee Arnold's "Tale of the Exonerated Flea" and the Jeremy Steig album the name of which I can't remember but it had a belly dancer on the cover. Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Doesn't Sony control all the CTI material too? Quote
alankin Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 Strange that Columbia has done such a bad job with their Errol Garner material. He was one of the label's major seller and now stands very neglected. I've heard that the Garner estate has been very hard to deal with... Through the Summer and Fall, Columbia/Legacy is doing reissues of Monk, Ellington, Santana, Getz, Count Basie and ... Miles Davis. (See my site for more details. Quote

Some friendly soul on this Board mentioned a note on the Jazzmatazz Upcoming Jazz Releases that read: Erroll Garner - Columbia Sessions (Mosaic) 2003? McCoy Tyner - Blue Note Sessions (Mosaic) 2003? Is this for real? or just wishful thinking? Since I mentioned Jazzmatazz, may I extend many, many thanks for that site. Always very informative. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 i would love to see the tubby hayes material get reissued. that is some wonderful music that should be heard by more people (and in better sound). I thought I read somewhere that one of the reasons that Tubby Hayes "New York Sessions" got deleted was that Columbia didn't really own the rights to that material any more. Something about Fontana licensing the stuff to Epic (now part of Columbia)? I could've sworn I read that. Later, Kevin Quote
DrJ Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 I am really looking forward to those Santana reissues coming up - especially CARAVANSERAI! Quote
Jim R Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 I've forgotten whether or not Columbia still owns the rights to it, but the Brown/Roach LIVE AT THE BEEHIVE recordings from 1955 would be nice to see on CD. It may not be for everybody, but I'm of the opinion that Kenny Burrell's vocal album (he plays some nice guitar on it as well) WEAVER OF DREAMS is worthy and overdue. I've been hoping for (and suggesting) an Errol Garner Mosaic set for years... Quote

AMG seems to rate the recording quality very poorly, perhaps what why it's not been out yet on CD Quote
JSngry Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 Max owns BEEHIVE. He leased it to Columbia because of his relationship w/Bruce Lundvall. Same thing w/the Electra Musician PURE GENIUS. And if you're thinking what I'm thinking... As for the recording quality, it is indeed amature, but that never stopped me from listening to it or enjoying it immensely. You go with what you got, ya'know? I've heard, and enjoyed, far worse, that's for sure! Quote

McCoy Tyner - Blue Note Sessions (Mosaic) 2003? Is this for real? or just wishful thinking? More than wishful thinking, but I don't know if they're still on tap. I suppose I could try an email to Mosaic and see if I get a response. Since I mentioned Jazzmatazz, may I extend many, many thanks for that site. Always very informative. Thanks! I've recently reorganized some of the links/pages to make it a little better structured (maybe) ==> jazzmatazz.home.att.net Edited July 11, 2003 by alankin Quote

chris olivarez Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 The # @ % * have a session by Joyce that was arranged by Claus Ogerman and never released. Quote
Brad Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 Regarding the Garner Mosaic, I'd read somewhere on this Board a while ago, that they had to drop the Garner project because they couldn't get the legal clearances. Quote

Any info as to what kind of sonic upgrade there will be and is there any bonus material? Nope, haven't seen anything about this yet. Just visited the Columbia/Legacy site but nothing there - I got the news from Jazzmatazz site. Knowing Columbia, the release date of August 12 for CARAVANSERAI, MOONFLOWER, WELCOME, and LOVE/DEVOTION/SURRENDER are somewhat approximate and will probably change. Hoping there's some good extras - under the list of these titles on Jazzmatazz it just says "expanded editions." Tease, tease, tease! Quote
Shrdlu Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 I'm looking forward to Getz's "Captain Marvel", a classic from the days when Chick Corea was becoming really big on the scene. Columbia needs to put out some more of Brubeck's classics, such as "In Europe", "Southern Scene", "Brubeck Plays Bernstein Plays Brubeck" and "Time In Outer Space". The old CDs of "Dave Digs Disney" and "Gone With The Wind" need to be upgraded, too. Quote
Jim R Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 The # @ % * have a session by Joyce that was arranged by Claus Ogerman and never released. Wow- that sounds good. Where did you hear about it, Chris? Any idea what year it's from, or what songs were on it? Quote

Where did you hear about it, Chris? Any idea what year it's from, or what songs were on it? Jim it was on the Claus Ogerman box set "The Man Behind The Music". It was recorded in 1977 and featured players that made a lot of Ogerman sessions Michael Brecker,Joe Farrell,Nana,Joao Palma etc. Ogerman was quoted as saying that the track came from an album session that unfortunately and for various reasons was never released. Ogerman went on to say that he played it for Jobim who loved it and wrote the most enthusiastic liner notes for it. Ogerman said that Joyce can only be described as a genius. The support that Joyce had from Ogerman and Jobim speaks volumes does'nt it. The song that made the Ogerman box is called "Timelessly" and I can't get it out of my head. Quote
Jim R Posted July 12, 2003 Report Posted July 12, 2003 Chris, thanks for that info. It's a shame that recording never saw daylight. I just recently began to discover how talented Joyce is. I knew she was successful as a vocalist, but I didn't realize her other talents, nor how long she had been around. I'm going to have to keep on the lookout for that Ogerman set. Quote
Roger Hiles Posted July 12, 2003 Report Posted July 12, 2003 According to Jazzmatazz (another big thanks for that!), Columbia is coming out with a Brubeck box set in September: Dave Brubeck - For All Time - 5 CDs (Columbia/Legacy) Sept 23 — boxed set of "Time Out," "Time Further Out," "Time Changes," "Time In," and "Countdown: Time in Outer Space" — all feature bonus tracks except for "Time Out" Quote
Shrdlu Posted July 12, 2003 Report Posted July 12, 2003 Thanks, Roger, but I knew about the planned Brubeck "Time" box set. But that set does not help a lot, because most Brubeck fans will already have most of its contents. A single CD of "Countdown" would be the best solution. I have the LP, but I'd like to see a CD of it available to everyone. They may do what they did with the Miles/Trane box and issue separate CDs a few months later. Perhaps the box set will be chronological, which might be a good idea as most of the tracks on "Time Further Out" and "Countdown" come from the same sessions. (I only discovered this recently, as Columbia rarely gave recording dates on their LPs.) Quote
DrJ Posted July 27, 2003 Report Posted July 27, 2003 (edited) That's interesting, didn't know about that one GoM. Maybe KOCH or somebody would eventually get that out. There are some real gems lurking in Columbia's 70's jazz catalog - still some Blythe that hasn't seen CD, and Joann Brackeen's great albums for Tappan Zee, and Bill Watrous' two stellar big band dates (MANHATTAN WILDLIFE REFUGE and TIGER OF SAN PEDRO) just to name a few.
