tony williams select

[tranemonk]

Got a quesion...

On the future projects list over at the Mosaic site... in describing the upcoming Select... it says the studio sessions from 1986 to 1991 (plus Foreign Intrique)... but looking on AMG's site... there appears to be a 1992 double Live cd... Tokyo live.... which came out in 1992.

Is this currently out on CD? (I don't remember seeing it recently...) Is Blue Note going to remaster/re-release this separately (ala Jazz Crusaders...)? if so, when??

For those of you who have it... I assume it's a great record (given the lineup)???

either way I'm getting this Select... although that Tokyo session's got me very interested.....!

"tokyo live" is an excellent record.

unfortunately, it won't be included on the select.

it does go for big bucks on ebay (usually over $50).

maybe if the select sells well, blue note will reissue it.

The Tokyo Live MAY be the best of the Williams group Blue Notes (well, not counting Spring and Lifetime). It's quite good, quite out of print, I don't know of any plans to reissue it (but that just means I don't know of any).

Yes, BIG thumbs up on the live date.

I suspected as much... Hey... for those of you close to the source (aka Cuscuna)....

Is this 2cd going to come out soon? ....

And on a related Cuscuna note... (for those of you who have contact with him...) Can you ask him the ETA of the Jazz At Lincoln Center Higher Ground, Hurricane Relief CD/DVD set????

thanks!
