I recognize these Blue Note albums but what are JRVGS?

[Ed S]

Blue Note albums remastered by Rudy van Gelder for release in Japan.

[STAX]

That was fast. Much appreciated. Are they for sale here too ? They are probably expensive.

redtrumpet.com and dustygroove.com are two good places to purchase imports.

If the JRVGs have additional track, I think that could indicate they are destined for US release as RVGs.

Yes. No. Maybe. Remember. . . Twardzik/Freeman, no release yet (and I asked Michael about that and he said "get the Japanese cd.) The Quebec "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs." . . . .

Admittedly these were not JRVGs, but. . . .

Yes. No. Maybe! is how I see it.

I suspect the Three Sounds might be getting a push from Blue Note- who knows, maybe leading up to a Mosaic set. I can see them getting the RVG "treatment" for US release. They have been "underserved." Byrd has been a BN favorite as far as RVGs go, so another (J) RVG for him seem in order. The Jimmy Smith seems somewhat less likely. Of course, this is all speculation. I am also of the "yes, no, maybe" mindset

Brad can give you details but I can tell you that Michael has strongly implied that domestic Sounds are unlikely in the foreseeable future. He's also minimized the likelihood of a full-size Mosaic but he did tell Brad that he "thought he had a solution" to the problem of so many Sounds albums, and he said this shortly before the announcement of the Mosaic Select series. So my guess is that a Mosaic Select is likely, perhaps in two volumes.

Seems that there is at least SOME demand for Three Sounds sessions- a TOCJ of "Feelin Good" just went for $49 on ebay...

Almost all of The Three Sounds albums have been issued in Japan as TOCJ and JRVG releases. Even their Verve and Mercury sessions are available as Japanese releases.
