Big Wheel Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) I think Judgment was one of the very early Connoisseur titles which were transferred by Larry Walsh, rather than Ron McMaster. Most have a low opinion of Walsh's transfers--in fact, Walsh probably has the worst reputation out of the BN engineers in the modern era (Addey, McMaster, Van Gelder). I only have one Walsh title--Basra--which supposedly pales in comparison to the JRVG. Edited June 16, 2005 by Big Wheel Quote
Clunky Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 if you have the cherry mosaic, is there any reason to get the RVG? ← Well, the Mosaic splits this session across two CD's -- so there one potential reason. ← almost as bad as having an LP........ Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 As per the Judgement post, my statement was that it had been OOP for some time. I can't even remember what the CD sounded like before - I'm on a Liberty LP and have been for many years. It's funny, they've been putting out a lot of weird Hill BNs on disc, but not so many of the earlier essentials. Quote

BeBop Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Can't seem to find either of the Smiths at CD Universe, other than as imports. Am I missing something? Quote
alankin Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 Can't seem to find either of the Smiths at CD Universe, other than as imports. Am I missing something? ← I think they'll be in the second Summer batch of RVGs and aren't yet up for preordering. Quote
alankin Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 There are actualy six RVG's out on 7/19. I missed these two: Art Blakey - The Big Beat (Blue Note RVG Edition) July 19 Grant Green - Sunday Morning (Blue Note RVG Edition) July 19 Quote

Brad Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Doesn't seem like that long ago that Sunday Morning was a Conn. Guess I don't see the need. There are others more worthy. Quote

There are others more worthy. ← Yes, this kind of thing puzzles me as well. Couldn't they have selected the first two or three series of Conns to remaster instead of "Sunday Mornin?'" Quote

clifford_thornton Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 They might as well re-RVG Idle Moments while they're at it. Quote

bertrand Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 Sunday Morning is a great album, IMHO. I think the Connoisseur sounds fine, but some of you young whippersnappers may have missed it the first time around. Putting out Goin' West as an RVG, now that was a stroke of genius. Sounds awesome, too. Herbie kicks some serious ass on this record, and Billy Higgins is in top form. Bertrand. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 I'm looking forward to the Cherry, but I'll pass on the others. I think I'm reaching the point where 'enough is enough' on Blue Note. Uh oh....are you allowed to say that here? Quote
Brad Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 You wouldn't say it if there was some real reissues to put out, not retreads. Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 Brad where do you think Blue Note is missing the boat on the reissues? Quote
Gary Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 The next batch of Rudy Van Gelder's is coming out next month: Art Blakey - The Big Beat (Blue Note RVG Edition) July 19 Donald Byrd - Fuego (Blue Note RVG Edition) July 19 Don Cherry - Symphony For Improvisers (Blue Note RVG Edition) July 19 Herbie Hancock - Inventions and Dimensions (Blue Note RVG Edition) July 19 These 4 arrived from Amazon this morning , I'll be having a first listen to each of these in the office today .

Free For All Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 The Big Beat is one of my favorite Blakey sides. The tunes are all great, and it swings like a mofo. Lee plays some of his greeeziest stuff on record on Dat Dere. Great version of Paper Moon, and Lester Left Town has become a jazz standard in many circles. Great stuff. It's a must-have IMHO. Quote
Guy Berger Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I'm looking forward to the Cherry, but I'll pass on the others. I think I'm reaching the point where 'enough is enough' on Blue Note. That's the only one I'm rushing out to buy, though I don't have the Hancock and will get it eventually. I've never bought into the RVG fetish. Guy Quote
Templejazz Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I'm actually saving money for NEXT month.. That's the motherload right there. In the meantime, those who have not heard Fuego.....RUN...don't walk...and pick it up....NOW. Donald Byrd had a sweet tone on the trp and this album does a great job of showcasing it. Plus how can you miss w/ Jackie McLean Duke Pearson or Lex Humphries? I'll pass on the Green...already have the Conn and LOVE IT! The Cherry is first on my priority list. Quote
Brad Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Brad where do you think Blue Note is missing the boat on the reissues? ← Just saw this. I think they're doing what is easy: put out the big names and the big reissues but I'd like to see the more rarer issues in the Blue Note stable. On a separate point, the Sunday Morning RVG has a new alternate take. Is this the same as on the Conn? Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 i'm saving my pennies for organissimo's new joint Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I upgraded the Blakey, the Grant Green, and bought for the first time the Hancock and Freddie Redd. A quick listen and I wasn't impressed with either the Freddie Redd nor the Herbie Hancock. Quote
