tranemonk Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 Interesting... ! So I just recieved Roy Haynes new Cd, Whereas and there's a very interesting card inside the CD... to summarize... "Coming this winter, the Roy Haynes Boxed Set".. A multi-cd collection spanning Roy;s 60+ years of recording and performing. The card says if you return the card, before the holidays they will "send you full details on the set along with a deep discount offer." His Cd is on Dreyfus, so I looked up which records he's released on that label and here's the info... 1994 Te Vou! Dreyfus 1998 Praise Dreyfus 2001 Birds of a Feather: A Tribute to Charlie Parker Dreyfus 2004 Fountain of Youth Dreyfus 2006 Whereas Dreyfus Jazz So I'm wondering if a) this will simply be a reissue of the above (- the new CD) OR b) previously unreleased live stuff?? If it's B - I am SO There!!!! Any thoughts... Haven't listened to the new record yet but it's a live date with his new band... Love Roy and I'm sure it's awesome... Time to fill in that card and wait... Quote
tranemonk Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Posted August 25, 2006 Wassup with the lack of love for Roy????? Quote
CJ Shearn Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 this would be very interesting if this was unreleased live stuff. I'd be there too! Quote

tranemonk Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Posted August 25, 2006 No because his Dreyfus stuff only goes back 15 years and most of it is still in print... Interesting... !

robviti Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 from the dreyfus website: This winter, Dreyfus Records is planning to release its first box set of Roy Haynes. This career retrospective will offer a unique perspective on the history of jazz - from the chair of one the music’s most recorded drummers. It will highlight Roy’s work as a leader, and as a sideman on several of the genre’s most pivotal recordings. still seems a bit confusing/mysterious, i have to admit. Quote

Sounds like "Roy Haynes' Greatest Hits." I predict selections (unavoidably contestable) from various points of his career plus a lot from his Dreyfus releases. BWTFDIK? Quote
Big Al Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Here's a Roy Haynes box set that looks VERY interesting, perhaps this is the one that Dreyfus was talking about: CD Universe link (could someone who knows how to do these things fix this with the Organissimo link?) Here's a link to a better description on the Amazon website. Quote
marcello Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) I received this a couple of weeks ago at Roy's gig at JazzImpov. It includes a wide rage of tracks throught his career from Pres to the Dreyfus years, and includes a DVD. I haven't listened to it yet, but there's a lot of music and a nice booklet.

I believe the DVD contains video of Roy at one of Jack Kleinsinger's Highlights in Jazz concerts - tribute to Bird perhaps? Marla Quote

Bluerein Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Again a useless compilation unless you don't have anything he plays on. But then the casual jazz listener isn't going to buy this either.......And the record comanies blame us for not buying cd's......MNaybe they should try to find out what we want on cd and that'a not this kind of cd sets (IMO).

Tom Storer Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Again a useless compilation unless you don't have anything he plays on. Unless you don't have anything he plays on? I beg to differ. You could have several of these selections already and it would still be a valuable summation of Haynes' career. It's a Roy Haynes anthology. I think it's perfectly appropriate for jazz fans who are not serious collectors--me, for example. Quote
marcello Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 I agree with Tom. The set also includes music from his Hip Ensemble bands from the 70's, as example. Most people don't have those records ( I have one). Like Tom said it's a anthology. It's really looks like a well put togethers set. This is one of the problems with buying from the internet. In a store you could hold this thing in your hands and to get a real appreciation for the thing. Quote
Free For All Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 I saw it at Borders some time ago- it's a nice box even if you do have some of the material. It really shows the amazing scope of Haynes' versatility, and also how his playing has remained fresh and relevant to this day. The man is still at the peak of his powers IMHO. A truly amazing musician, what a life he's had! Quote
Free For All Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 I didn't because I already had most of what's on it, which I realize was your point. I still think it's a good purchase for some who doesn't have all those sides, or someone who wants to hear all those Haynes performances organized in sequence (which of course is something one could do themselves). Probably not going to sell a ton of copies, but a nice compilation nonetheless. Quote
Big Al Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 OK but do you buy it?? I probably will. Quote
