What would like to see get re-issued?

In no particular order ...

• Ornette Coleman: Crisis

• Ornette Coleman: At 12

• a single disc reissue of Sam Rivers' Contours

• Art Hode's Shine on domestic Blue Note (with original cover please)

Yes, the Impulse Ornette's would be excellent to finally have on CD, someday.

And it's a crime that "Contours" has never been issued as a Conn. Although I'm really glad to see "Fuschia Swing Song" finally get released domestically (this Fall), I was really disappointed that it isn't/wasn't going to be a RVG, and instead is being released as a Conn.

If it were me, I would have definitely released "Fuschia Swing Song" as a RVG, followed by "Contours" as a Conn about a year or three later. As it is now, I'm afraid it'll be 5 years before we get "Contours" released in the U.S. as a single CD.

I'm not at all familiar with Art Hodes. (eek!! :ph34r: ) What's the story with "Shine"?? The AMG doesn't have it listed at all, and for that matter, none of the Blue Note albums for Hodes have any BN covers shown, with the minimalistic reviews in the AMG. Somebody edumacate me!! What's the 'original cover' to "Shine"???

Pharoah Sanders - Live at the East (Impulse)

Pharoah Sanders - Elevation (Impulse)

John Coltrane - Infinity (Impulse)

Jimmy Lyons - Give it Up (not sure)

Mingus - Great Concert (Prestige)

Max Roach - We Insist (Candid)

I'm sure there are dozens more I could think of. I have the two Sanders albums and the Lyons on vinyl, and they are incredible. They definately deserve to be in print. The others I haven't heard but I can't imagine them being anything short of incredible.

Actually, I guess another one would be "Jimmy Woods - Conflict", but that's my own damn fault. It was in print recently, and I still haven't given up on finding it in the bins.

This just came out in on CD in the U.S. in late April of 2003 -- with 3 pretty significant bonus tracks (about 20 minutes of extra music), all of them "alternate takes", but one is especially important in my estimation). It should be easy to order from almost any store or on-line source.

Here's a whole thread about it...

Link: Jimmy Woods - CONFLICT, first U.S. CD release, w/ bonus tracks!!

One of the very best re-issues of the last year.

Albert King's "Born Under a Bad Sign" has been reissued. I think there is straight forward cd reissue, and an lp version (w/ bonus tracks?) from Sundazed Records. Check out:

I would like the individual cds of Buddy DeFranco/Sonny Clark to be reissued.

Jimmy Smith's "The Boss." I'd love to hear the whole night. Taped live in Atlanta, probably 3 sets worth of material that is all worth releasing I'm sure. Although since it's Verve, I won't hold my breath. Just think, I can use my copy of Jimmy Smith plays Peter and the Wolf (reissued) to hold up my couch in the meantime. :rolleyes:

Sign me up for Nat Adderley's The Soul Zodiac. I have been diggin the Soul of the Bible a whole lot since it came out a few months ago. Since it is the followup - and considered to be weaker - than The Soul Zodiac, I just have to hear this one. Hopefully someday........ :w

After "All Music" by Warne Marsh, I'd like to see Roscoe Mitchell's "Nonaah" and Charles Tyler's "Saga of the Outlaws". Maybe after that, Wadada Leo Smith's "Spirit Catcher" an some Bobby Bradford/John Stevens collaborations. Unusual disclaimer: All kinds of commercial considerations. :lol:

Or any of the Farmer/Golson Jazztet sessions currently out of print.

I love the two that I do have. Great collaboration.

Is the second track really called 'Domino', or is it the song 'Domingo' which Golson recorded elsewhere?

Bertrand.

Bertrand, it is indeed "domino", a french tune published in the U.S. in 1950 (Pickwick Music Corp. / ASCAP), written by Louis Ferrari, Don Raye and Jacques Plante. The Jazztet did it as a minor waltz.

'Domino' was a very popular French hit back in 1951. It was French crooner Andre Claveau's

top song.

Claveau died last week. You couldn't find a more saccarine voice. If you did find one,

you'ld have died of diabetes.

Took me a long time to get to like Roland Kirk's version. But I love it now.
