birdanddizzy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 The last CD pressing was in 1990... (now, we could add this one to the "ebay crazyness items"...) The "New Wave" (NY, may 1962) was reissued many months ago, so when will they reissue "Dizzy on the french riviera" ??? Is it because that's a french recording ? Quote
jazzbo Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 I have a feeling that Japan will get to it soon. It's just a hunch. Quote

It is scheduled to be included in an upcoming Mosaic set. Actually, only part of it was recorded in France. Several of the tracks were cut in New York at the same sessions which produced "New Wave."

Christiern Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Shouldn't that be "Dizzy on the Liberty Riviera"? Quote
king ubu Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 The freedom Riviera? The freed Riviera? The fried Riviera? The freedomized Riviera? The sodomized Riviera? All that is to add: Dizzy for President! Quote

JSngry Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 Personally, I'd have liked to have heard Dizzy on a Buick Riviera. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 Personally, I'd have liked to have heard Dizzy on a Buick Riviera. Buicks have horrible acoustics. Quote
Bill Nelson Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 'Dizzy On the French Riviera' was recommended to me in '69 by the cat holding the Friday nite jazz show on WRIU-FM (Univ. of Rhode Island). 'Boston' Al Samiljan -- wherever you are -- thanks for hipping me: "Kid, this is the best all-round jazz album, in my opinion." (I was 16, a high school volunteer.) After 'Boston Al' the reigning Friday jazz DJ was John Zoglio, who began each show with Bunky Green's version of 'Hoe Down'. In '71 I finally got the coveted slot and gave 'Riviera' many an on-air spin. Who knows, we might've moved a couple units in sales at Beacon Records or Carl's Diggins House of Jazz, both in Providence and one block apart. Yes, the CD came and went real fast in '88 or '89, a Polydor West German (Hanover) pressing, I think. Quote
