medjuck Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I just heard from Ron Mann that his film Imagine the Sound is finally going to be released on DVD with stereo sound. For those who don't know the film it features interviews and performances from Cecil Taylor, Bill Dixon, Archie Shepp and Paul Bley. It's been available before on Laser Disc and VHS but only in mono. it's a great film. (I'm not entirely unbiased: Ron is an old friend and ex-student of mine and I wrote the liner notes for the Laser Disc release.) Ron it will be available in September, but these things are usually delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alppila Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Bumping this just to ask if there is any news. Seems exciting particularly in light of this quote... "The dream for me," says Mann, "is to put out Imagine the Sound with a new digital audio mix. It was recorded at a 24-track studio by Phil Sheridan, so I would be able to remix it digitally and in stereo and provide some of the additional performances that Archie Shepp and Cecil Taylor did that aren't in the movie." http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_07.25.02/film/mann.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 It's done. I think it will be released this fall (only a year late). It has no added performances, but it is in stereo and looks and sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has no added performances, but it is in stereo and looks and sounds great. I've never even heard of this! Sounds awesome. Please be sure to let us know when/where it's available.
