Thanks for the heads up! I pre=ordered this with the new Cassandra Wilson.

FreshSounds has access to the United Artists albums and reissues a sadly neglected catalogue.

It's all very legal under EU juridiction.

Don't think Randy Weston could do much to prevent the release of this reissue.

Mosaic didn't issue Destry Rides Again after Randy Weston asked that it not be reissued. Sad and disgusting that an outfit like FreshSounds would issue it against his wishes. (I'm assuming here that he didn't change his mind in the interim.)

I assume they just did not bother to ask Weston if it was OK with him!

Right, it's a legal reiusse in the EU, but not an "approved" one.

Michael Cuscuna is a rare record company man. . . actually concerned with things like the original artist's and producer's opinion and intention! Who else does that? Has to be very few in the industry.
