JSngry Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 I'm getting the Chu no matter what. That's the kind of stuff you just don't dick around with. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 Just a quick checkup at Mosaic: The Hutcherson (if it will be released) has all the straight ahead Jazz sessions from the 70's. The Gibbs was a slip of the tongue by Scott and won't happen. I contacted Mosaic a couple years ago suggesting a cross-label Hutcherson/Land set, with the Hutcherson Blue Notes and the Land Cadet and Mainstream albums. They told me at the time they were actually working on the licensing for just such a set, but I've never heard any more on it. Since then the major labels have become much more proprietry. From now on you can only look for packages from one source. If this wasn't true, the Oliver Nelson UA material would be on the Nelson set. Onward to another Mosaic possibility: Now that Sony and BMG are "connected" MC should have little problem doing a Braxton/Arista set if he really wants to do it. I'd have that Braxton in a shot. I remember asking about whether I should buy the vinyl here. The answer was yes, since there was no telling when this would be on CD...on my return to the store, of course, it was all gone Quote
brownie Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 One Select I'ld love to see come alive would be the Monday Night at Birdland sessions that was released by Roulette. The Monday Night with Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Hank Mobley, Billy Root, Ray Bryant, etc... This produced two albums. Pretty sure there is additional material available from that Monday Night. In the words of whoever ('Symphony Sid' Torin?) wrote at the end of the liner notes for the second volume: 'This is the second in a series - it calls for still ''another Monday night at Birdland''...' Still true! Quote
tranemonk Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Posted January 6, 2006 was this the stuff that came out on Fresh Sound years back?

brownie Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 was this the stuff that came out on Fresh Sound years back? Yes, it was. But the sound was not good. Pretty dull as was the case on many of those FreshSound vinyl reissues at the time! Quote
Bol Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 MC told me in October that there will be a Select of Al Cohn-Joe Wilder-Freddie Green RCA sessions in 2006. That should be very good. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Bol, that is great music, will make a nice set! Guy, wow, good suggestion; I would buy that Select if they add unissued material. Quote
tranemonk Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Posted January 9, 2006 so each will have 1 disc... or did they record together??? MC told me in October that there will be a Select of Al Cohn-Joe Wilder-Freddie Green RCA sessions in 2006. That should be very good. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 so each will have 1 disc... or did they record together??? I guess this would be a part of it ? Four brass, one tenor: Al Cohn: Joe Newman, Thad Jones, Joe Wilder (tp) Nick Travis (tp,v-tb) Al Cohn (ts) Dick Katz (p) Freddie Green (g) Buddy Jones (b) Osie Johnson (d) New York, May 1955 F2JB3730 Every time RCA Victor LPM1161, RCA (F)PM45164 F2JB3731 Just plain Sam - - F2JB3732 Rosetta - - F2JB3733 Alone together - - Quote
montg Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 Wow, that Freddie Green set sounds outstanding. I think there were a couple of lps with Al Cohn from the mid 50s recorded for RCA. Joe Newman and Jo Jones were among the sidemen. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 How about a Gil Evans Pacific Select? Is there any other unreleased PJ material of his that could be added to 'Great Jazz Standards' (with Johnny Coles, isn't it?) and 'New Bottle, Old Wine'? Quote
tranemonk Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Posted January 15, 2006 don't know but if there is ... that would be a heckuva set.... How about a Gil Evans Pacific Select? Is there any other unreleased PJ material of his that could be added to 'Great Jazz Standards' (with Johnny Coles, isn't it?) and 'New Bottle, Old Wine'? Quote
Brad Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 I've got the Freddie Green Mr. Rhythm and I can't say it really did that much for me. Like Basie without the pizazz. Quote
Fer Urbina Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 MC told me in October that there will be a Select of Al Cohn-Joe Wilder-Freddie Green RCA sessions in 2006. That should be very good. Maybe, but if I'm not mistaken much of this (if not all, apart from unissued tracks) is already available on CDs from BMG-Spain. F Quote
garthsj Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 There are two labels (among many) that could still be mined for very interesting, and necessary selects. Those are ABC ... with Brookmeyer, Raney, Farmer, Sunkel, etc. and Metrojazz with Gigi Gryce, and others. These selects might be more along the lines of the recent piano one with Fischer, Rowles, Twardzik et.al. I would also be obvious in ponting out that there are many Buddy DeFranco albums on MGM, Verve and Polygram that I, for one, would love to see on CD. Also, isn't it about time that the Emarcy Mulligan sextet material (including all of the takes, each of which had their own charm), and once available on three Japanese LPs were reissued, probably on a double-CD album.

Chuck Nessa Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 I suggest the recent Select price increases and "expense reductions" suggest more "common" titles in the future. Sales do keep these guys alive, not "plaudits". The Mulligan Mercurys might fly. Quote
tranemonk Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Posted January 17, 2006 have we finally determined... on that upcoming dizzy set... What is currently in print??? I know that "An Electrifying Evening with Dizzy Gillespie" is still in print??? Others?? Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 I suggest the recent Select price increases and "expense reductions" suggest more "common" titles in the future. Sales do keep these guys alive, not "plaudits". The Mulligan Mercurys might fly. I think Chuck's right. I'm going to bite on the new Mulligan Select, because there are a few things on it that I don't already have... but much of that material has been available within the past 5-10 years. No complaining here, but I'd imagine that Mosaic has to watch their bottom line more than ever these days--esp. with all of the bootleg/ripoff outfits in the marketplace. Quote
David Ayers Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 I suppose that I'm less keen on Selects for these sort of reasons - the high proportion of content already on CD and often recently or still available. So first-timers are suited, and completists/collectors will go for the few (if any) extra tracks they don't have, but a musical pragmatist like me (with a lot of interests to fund!) finds it hard to pay so much for a few extra tracks. I'm glad this series is a success for the company though, and I can quite see that the big box set market is a tough one - except for the keenest purchasers I wonder how many big boxes most folks actually buy? If you also like classical, the economy classical boxes are bit of a lure these days and also tend to take your mind off the premium product. I think I bought 6 jazz box sets in 2005 and I still haven't got through them all. Most years I don't think I buy so many. Quote
mike casinghino Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 though a bobby hutcherson select could be the mother lode of unissued material.if they choose from the following, none of these has made an appearance on cd. head on cirrus knucklebeans inner glow waiting a view from the inside Quote
jazzbo Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 I'd buy that one, those are good albums! Quote
Alfred Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 A complete Pacific / Mastersounds would be great. Quote
tranemonk Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Posted January 28, 2006 Just got the Email... the Mulligan and Bechet are scheduled to go out within 24 hours.. which means I'll get it today or Monday... Quote
