Christiern Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 This will be the Golden Gate Bridge of reissues--when they reach the final volume (or, perhaps, before), it will be time to start a reissue of this reissue in the reproductive audio format of the day. Quote
brownie Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Posted October 2, 2007 3CD set of Albert Camus reading 'The Stranger' I'd be all over that, but it's probably in French Not sure I'ld buy a Camus set in english but sure would like to give it a listen Quote
EKE BBB Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Volume 4 is out! It goes up to the May 1928 Savoy Ballroom Five session. Just got volume 4 this morning, for less than 20 euros. Hopefully, someday I will be able to tell my grandchildren "Hell, I finally got the last volume of the Integrale Louis Armstrong!". Quote
brownie Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Posted December 5, 2007 Hopefully, someday I will be able to tell my grandchildren "Hell, I finally got the last volume of the Integrale Louis Armstrong!". I would say the final set will be something like vol. 120. If everything goes fine, and the current flow of 4 sets a year continues, that final set of theIntégrale should be available around 2040 Provided CD sets will still be an acceptable form of music by then! I'll keep my fingers crossed until then! Quote

A huge birthday party is expected, brownie (with Louis Armstrong music from the Intégrale series on the air) Hope to be round there to celebrate! Quote
Swinging Swede Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 And if a new aircheck is discovered that should have been included on a previous volume, they will have to restart it all! Quote
brownie Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Posted December 6, 2007 No, they won't Like on volume 3 of the Intégrale, there was one track omitted from the set. This was 'Sunshine Baby', the Hociel Thomas tune from the session with Armstrong and Johnny Dodds. It is now the final track on disc 1 of volume 4! Frémeaux is doing OK Quote
king ubu Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Just ordered Vol. 1 from Caiman via Amazon.fr - they're offering all of them for around 15 euro! Quote
king ubu Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 While I haven't started deeply exploring Volume 1, it looks great (and contains likely just about as much King Oliver as I'll need...). Now I have the Hot Fives/Sevens (Columbia/Sony 4CD set) and just indulged in the 1929-1946 Classics a week ago... I wonder though, with the other Fremeaux Volumes out so far (2, 3, and 4), has anyone done comparison to the Hot Fives box? The first few Hot Fives sides turn up on Fremeaux Vol. 3, but most of the Fives and Sevens seem to be on Volume 4 of the Fremeaux series - thing is, the tracklist is different from the Columbia (which is not entirely chronological, while I assume the Fremeaux is), so it's a bit of a drag to really check out if Fremeaux Vol. 4 contains anything that's NOT part of the Columbia set. Has anyone done that comparison before? And what if there's material on the Fremeaux Vol. 4 that's not on the Columbia, is that material good enough so I'll still need the Fremeaux? Anyone? Quote
king ubu Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 How cool is that - only now I realize you can check out the booklets (though not for Volume 1 and not [yet?] for Volume 4) as PDFs! Complete Louis Armstrong Vol. 2 Complete Louis Armstrong Vol. 3 Quote

king ubu Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 Hey, don't you like my quick-typed free association posts? oops, that was in reply to a post already deleted by it's author... (I wondered why the quote-function wouldn't work, now I know...) Anyway, in short my question: 1) does Volume 4 of the Fremeaux "Complete Louis Armstrong" series contain any non Hot Five/Seven sides? 2) how many are those, and are they reason enough to buy that set in addition to the 4CD Sony/Columbia set that I already own? (and of less interest to myself: 3) has anyone compared the sound? I know many have issues with the Sony version and prefer the JSP, which I haven't heard myself) Quote
paul secor Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 Hey, don't you like my quick-typed free association posts? It was my post - which was: ????????????????????? Then I saw that Flurin had shortened things and my post wasn't appropriate, so I deleted it. Just not soon enough. Quote

brownie Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Posted July 2, 2008 Volume 5 of the 'Intégrale Louis Armstrong' is out now. Details are to be found on the Fremeaux website: http://www.fremeaux.com/index.php?page=sho...rt&Itemid=0 Quote
Christiern Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Thank you, Brownie, good to see you here again--hope you don't disappear again, but understand if you do. Quote
medjuck Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 And if a new aircheck is discovered that should have been included on a previous volume, they will have to restart it all! The Masters of Jazz Charlie Christian series added a Volume 9 made up only of new discoveries. Quote

Details are to be found on the Fremeaux website: http://www.fremeaux.com/index.php?page=sho...rt&Itemid=0 Has anybody done an A/B comparison with the JSPs? I'd be curious to know how these new releases compare with those. I have the JSPs and continue to be wowed by the sound quality on those! Greg Mo Quote
AllenLowe Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 best sound is still from various older Columbia LPs - there's one particular old gatefold LP that is astounding - Quote
bichos Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 volume 6 is out now! http://www.fremeaux.com/components/com_vir...duct/FA1356.jpg keep boppin´ marcel Quote

AllenLowe Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 the Genius of Louis Armstrong, Vol 1 1923-1933, Columbia LP CG30416 - amazing sound - in the next few weeks I'm going to be doing some LP transfers to show some of the stuff that may have been lost in the Universal fire, as well as some of the best of LP sound on records that appear to have been made from original masters - keep posted, and I'll send anyone who's interested a CDR copy - Quote
brownie Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 Volume 6 is out this month. It covers all of Satchmo's recorded material from March 1933 thru November 1933.

Next volume will include the start of the Decca material! I'll stick with Frémeaux and will skip Mosaic's announced box! Sound on the Intégrale is more than satisfying to my ears. Quote
brownie Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Posted April 27, 2009 Volume 7 of the Intégrale Louis Armstrong from Frémeaux & Associés is coming out... It goes from 1934 to 1937. Tracks listing. Quote
king ubu Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 Gee, they're too fast for me! Also I have a long run of Classics covering roughly 1930-46 or so... the Mosaic would be a duplication (though certainly in better sound and with great documentation), and now this series is also entering those years... What are you doing, brownie? Sticking to those Fremeaux sets? I have Vols. 1-4 so far. Quote
