What would like to see get re-issued?

My request is somewhat obscure, but a lot of Argo LPs have made their way to CD in Japan, but there is one I've searched high and low for, Richard Evans, Home Cookin'. Not that I expect Universal to put it out in America, but why hasn't it come out in Japan?

I'm very excited about what appears to be the impending release of the remaining Brubeck "Time" records...see previous and ongoing discussion.

These are great recordings with truly inventive uses of time and chord structures, beautifully recorded in their original states (unbelievably clear, and a great early utilization of stereophonic technology). I can't wait to hear them in remastered glory, particularly since my records are very worn out (from dad in college ( B) ) to me) and I can never find anything other than Time Out in the used (vinyl) bins.

Argo? Yeah! There is a number of Lou Donaldson sessions that I would like to see from this label. Some are just as good as his Blue Note stuff.

Talk about oscure? And this is not even a session, but would love to hear this:

Coleman Hawkins - A Documentary, a 1956 Riverside 2LP issue where the great man

reminiscises. A rare item which never made it to CD. Hawkins was a very articulate

person who had plenty to reminisce about.

The Richie Kamuca Concord sides.

Marion Brown, JUBA-LEE

The Martial Solal / Sidney Bechet sessions

Mingus' self-produced records (MY FAVORITE QUINTET, MONTEREY 1965)

Julius Hemphill, DOGON A.D.

Many others...

Having just plucked up the courage to get Paypal specifically to get Eddie Costa's " House of Blue Lights" , I cannot understand why this album isn't better known or more widely available. It's simply stunning.

This really should be made available everywhere B)

A strong second to this and also to Joe's mention of Richie Kamuca's Concord sides.

And to add some of my own:

Zoot Sims in Paris (UA)

Leroy Jenkins: Space Minds,New Worlds, Survival of America (Tomato)

Fraser MacPherson: Live at the Planetarium (West End, Concord)

New York Contemporary Five: Live at Jazzhus Montmartre (Sonet)

Roswell Rudd's Horo recording

The entire series of albums that Stanley Dance produced for the Felsted label

Cecil Taylor/Albert Mangelsdorff/John Surman/Barre Phillips/Friedrich Gulda & others: Nachricht Vom Lande (Brain)

The Joe Daly Trio at Newport '63 (RCA) - Listening to this now, it's obvious, as Chuck Nessa pointed out, that it was actually recorded in the studio with Father Norman O'Connor's intro and the audience sounds edited in.

Bill Lewis/Khan Jamal: The River (Philly Jazz)

And in rock:

Bunky & Jake's two Mercury LPs

Jake Jacob's two LPs with the Family Jewels (Polydor)

Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers: The "West Side" Sound Rolls Again (Teardrop, Amigo)

In Blues:

Guitar Slim's Atco sides

I guess I rambled on a bit, but there's an awful lot of great music that should be readily available to listen to, but isn't, for whatever reasons.

I'd go as far as to say the whole HORO 2lp catalogue.

Near the top of my list of reissues I'd like to see are the Mulligan Quartets on Verve get a cd reissue and the Phil Sunkel's Jazz Concerto Grosso on ABC Paramount.

The New York Contemporary 5 is out on Storyville minus one track so a complete reissue would be welcome especially if there's extra material.
