Big Al Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Concord is onto a good thing by packaging the Miles Davis Quintet legendary session onto a remastered three-disc set. They should take this concept and run with it with other sessions or volumes like that. Here's some choices I would nominate: Shelly Manne and His Men at the Blackhawk, Vols. 1-5 Hampton Hawes' All Night Sessions Red Garland's Quintet Sessions with Byrd & Trane The Lennie Niehaus Contemporary Recordings Perhaps they could package them much like the Mosaic Selects or something.

DMP Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Looks like the Bill Evans "Vanguard" material is getting this treatment. Quote
robviti Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 i own this two-disc set. it's a digital 20bit k2 remaster from japan in a fold-out cardboard sleeve. it's great! Quote
Big Al Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Posted August 20, 2005 i own this two-disc set. it's a digital 20bit k2 remaster from japan in a fold-out cardboard sleeve. it's great! ← Cool! I wonder if the Japanese have given that same K2 treatment to other sessions like that? Quote
tjobbe Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Looks like the Bill Evans "Vanguard" material is getting this treatment. ← I have that 3CD as japanese K2 Re-Master since more than a year. It is distributed in Germany via ZYX. I can easily recommend that. Not sure if the now announced US release is any different in terms of mastering or packaging. Cheers, Tjobbe Quote
GA Russell Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Due out October 4: The Red Garland Quintet with John Coltrane is getting the Prestige Profile treatment. It will be a single CD plus a "unique bonus disc". I have no idea what the bonus disc might be. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 i own this two-disc set. it's a digital 20bit k2 remaster from japan in a fold-out cardboard sleeve. it's great! Cool! I wonder if the Japanese have given that same K2 treatment to other sessions like that? The Hawes gatefold is sweet. It would be nice to see them go the gatefold route and produce a couple of slick little sets as suggested earlier by Al. Manne & Niehaus cardboard sleeve sets would be my top picks. Quote
Christiern Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Let us just hope that they abandon for good their pyramid scheme--CD packaging simply does not get more awkward than this (received a couple of days ago)... Quote
brownie Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Wouldn't mind a set that would include the Complete Prestige New Jazz recordings of Booker Little and Eric Dolphy! Quote
mikeweil Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 The complete Ervin "Books" would be fine ... Don Patterson with Sonny Stitt Patterson Trios (just organ, guitar and drums) Complete Latin Jazz Quintet I'd buy the Hawes as a two-CD set any day! Any live or studio sets spread over several LPs would be welcome. Quote
JPF Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 How about the complete Curtis Counce group, in chronological order this time? Quote

Where did you hear about it? Quote

CJ Shearn Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 cool to know the Garland/Trane will be packaged like that, and ditto for the Evans b/c I don't have any of that material. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Big Al, I second your nominations! I don't know if there were too many albums to fit on three CDs, but how about Cal Tjader with Vince Guaraldi? Quote

Late Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) Good idea for a thread! I've been thinking about this a lot lately. The Bill Evans Vanguard set is so nice — I personally wish Concord would stall their RVG series in favor of focusing on this type of "complete" 2 or 3-disc set. I would imagine that these sets would do well: • Eric Dolphy & Booker Little: The Complete Five Spot Recordings (in program order) • Eric Dolphy: The 1961 "In Europe" Recordings • Charles Mingus: The Complete 1955 Cafe Bohemia Recordings And, while perhaps more for "collectors," how about these: • The Prestige All-Stars (perhaps the s/t album along with Teo and Earthy ... and?) • some kind of Teddy Charles collection, either as performer or producer • The "Mal" recordings of Mal Waldron Does anyone have Concord's contact e-mail for suggesting/asking about this kind of thing?

mgraham333 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Isn't there a Lester Young in D.C. 1956 Vols. 1-5? Might be nice. Then I could take those and the Shelly Manne Blackhawks of my wishlist at CDU. Quote
Shawn Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - Cookbook (1,2,3 & Smokin') Johnny Griffin/Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Quintet - Complete Live At Mintons (currently spread over 3 discs) Quote
webbcity Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 I could go for a Harold Land or Elmo Hope set myself. By the way, is it just me or is the Concord website a pain in the ass? I wish they had left the old OJC site active. It wasn't as slick or modern or whatever, but it was certainly easier to navigate and find the stuff you want. I have no interest in most of the stuff Concord offers apart from the OJC releases, but I guess that's just me... Quote
Ron S Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 By the way, is it just me or is the Concord website a pain in the ass? It SUCKS. The old Fantasy site had an elegant simplicity sorely lacking on the Concord site. Quote
