Our goal is to reissue recordings by quality artists that have not yet been released on CD, or have sadly fallen out of print. We want to make sure that worthy albums in all genres of music aren’t lost or forgotten. We also plan to produce compelling new artists who we believe should be heard. Mighty Quinn is committed to providing the best possible sound for the sake of both the listener and the artist, and we will include intelligent and insightful liner notes to complete a package of overall excellence. Look forward to future releases by the following artists: Pepper Adams, Lou Rawls, Harold Land, Don Ellis, Edmund Hall, Eddie Condon, Ray Nance, Roy Ayers, Herb Geller, Bobby Watson, Woody Herman, Eddie Costa, Harmonica Smith, The Shirts, Fingerprintz, George Jones, Fela Kuti and others. The labels we will be reissuing from include (but are not limited to) World Pacific, Pacific Jazz, Roulette, Blue Note, Capitol, United Artists, Solid State, and Colpix. Mighty Quinn is currently negotiating with several distributors and will update the website upon receipt of any information. Peace, Jerry Roche So who IS this cat? More power to him!

Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Yeah, but they on the Critic's Choice album, they changed the cover and replaced Pepper Adams with a photo of some little kid. Will Pepper NEVER get ANY respect!?!?! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluerein Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Mike, I hope you're joking, right?? Of course they'll use the original cover. I think this is just a temporary picture because they don't have it yet. Don't know for sure but it looks like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Yes, it's a joke. See this thread for context: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=19982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerein Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Do I have news for you!! The owner and sole person of Mighty Quinn Records is Mosaic's Jerry Roche. The name comes from his daughter. And rest assured he will use the original cover for the Adams CD. The first two reissues (Rawls and Ellis) will be from flat 16 bit transfers but from then on he will use 24 bit transfers. Hope it works out and I believe we all should support him so he can continue to do this and release the things we otherwise won't be getting from the majors (or Mosaic for that matter). I know I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Who will do the remastering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmirBagachelles Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Tell Roche my offer to MC from 4-5 yrs ago still stands. If need be, he/they are welcome to borrow my mint (you can eat off it) clean Japanese copy of Essence. It is from the mid 60s, sounds mighty fine. (I had heard that some of the Pacific vault had gone missing or damaged.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluerein Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Remastering done by someone I don't know (not McMaster nor Addey). Let's hope he has good ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Maybe they'll use the same engineer as Water uses, Gary Hobish of San Francisco. Gary does excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerein Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 both...don't remember and didn't know his name. Not Gary from Water for sure. And THEY as in Jerry???? It's a single man's operation out of his house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Okay, but maybe "THEY" might include others. . . I can't tell from here. Here's hoping Jerry chose a good remastering engineer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I'm confused: 1) Wasn't Take Aim recorded for Blue Note, albeit recorded in LA under the supervision of Leonard Feather? Here, it says World Pacific. 2) What's the 20 minute bonus track ('Straight, No Chaser)? Is it from the same studio session, or a live tune from around that time? Bertrand.

Bluerein Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 That's from the Jazz for a Sunday afternoon live date some years later with a West Coast all star band. The first 2 and a half minutes are by Land so that's why Jerry thought it was a good idea to add it. I'm sure the remastering will be done propperly. Jerry has the Mosaic mentality so rest assure he won't settle for a bad end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
