Chuck Nessa Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 The two Dameronia lps will NOT fit on one cd. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 To belatedly answer Bertrand's question about the unissued Freddie Redd. It was recorded the day after Lonely City with Duvivier and Riley. Seven tunes were recorded. The info was in the Mosaic/Redd booklet and is listed in Bruyninckx. I have copies of the tapes, but no copies of the studio log to sort out takes, etc. Quote
BeBop Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Anyone heard an anticipated issue date for the upcoming Willie Anderson/"Detroit Jazz Before Motown, 1945-53"? Quote

Seven tunes were recorded. The info was in the Mosaic/Redd booklet and is listed in Bruyninckx. I have copies of the tapes, but no copies of the studio log to sort out takes, etc. Hi Chuck, If you are interested, I have Freddie Redd's current phone number. He's in Los Angeles, and not doing very well. He was borrowing money from a mutual friend recently. Adam Quote
JamesJazz Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 Chuck can maybe fine-tune this a bit, but the target for the Detroit compilation is Aug 1. Quote
Bright Moments Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 the uptown marmarosa is excellent and the liner notes are wonderful. seems like dodo (or "moose" as he preferred to be called) got a bum rap on the "mental illness/emotional illness" tag that allegedly ended his playing career. i would be interested to know more about this!

jazzbo Posted November 27, 2005 Report Posted November 27, 2005 Evan, that Uptown booklet is so thorough. . . I would be surprised if anyone here really could expand that significantly. From what I know about mental illness. . . a) that booklet rang true and b) knowing more may not be that great. Quote

BeBop Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 Anyone heard an anticipated issue date for the upcoming Willie Anderson/"Detroit Jazz Before Motown, 1945-53"? Chuck can maybe fine-tune this a bit, but the target for the Detroit compilation is Aug 1. Does anyone have any news on this eagerly awaited (by me) item? Quote
BeBop Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 No news from me. Thanks. I only wish that no news was good news in this case. Quote
king ubu Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Just in case someone is still searching, allen lowe, member of this forum, may have the Schildkraut for sale, still... I recently got it from him and it's indeed a fine disc! Quote

Big Beat Steve Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Yeah - having read the BEFORE MOTOWN book with great interest I'd like to get that one too! Quote
paul secor Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 What's that old saying? Good things are worth waiting for. Quote

Bright Moments Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 chuck - do you hcarry the Reservoir cd's? if not - do you know where the best place to get them from is? Quote
John Tapscott Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Chuck used to have the Uptown recordings, but my understanding is not any more. At least that's what he told me a few months ago when I asked about buying a couple from him along with a Nessa disc. So I doubt if he has any Reservoir CDs (correct me please if I'm wrong, Chuck) . Best place to get them is directly at their website http://www.reservoirmusic.com/ Quote
bichos Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 i think "uptown" does it again! "When Columbia Records released the Minneapolis' after hours recordings of Charlie Christian, the listener was warned, 'The technical quality of these selections is admittedly inferior to the commercial recordings.' Not anymore! New digital transfers from the original acetates restore the sound quality. Dating from 1939-40, Christian leaps into the room with his driving rhythm guitar and ultra-modern solos." no more informations. just ordered it! keep boppin´ marcel Quote
kh1958 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Worlds Records also shows this Uptown release: GIGI GRYCE DOIN' THE GIGI Description Alto saxophonist Gigi Gryce's last ensemble was an outstanding sextet called the "Orchtette" that featured trumpeter Richard Williams, vibraphonist Eddie Costa and pianist Richard Wyands. Active during 1960-61, the band has only been documented up to now on five tracks of of an LP for the Mercury label. This new Uptown CD provides further fascinating examples of the "Orch-tette" recorded in performance at Birdland and in two studio sessions from which nothing was ever released. Within a year, he had left the jazz world never to be seen again. These recordings not only provide high quality music in the hard-bop genre but also serve as important and revealing additions to Gryce's legacy. Quote
