ghost of miles Posted April 17 Report Posted April 17 It’s easy for me to stay in a Philips/RCA default for listening to Nina Simone. This new set is reminding me of how much I enjoy the Colpix sides too, previously heard via that 2-CD anthology that Rhino put out a long time ago: Quote

T.D. Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 (edited) Hadn't listened to Ra in a while, so 4 discs from Art Yard in a Box: Sleeping Beauty (this is one of my favorite Ra albums), Disco 3000, The Antique Blacks, On Jupiter Edited April 30 by T.D. Quote

But what's that with "So Much Doldinger" being claimed to be an "original" album?? Any way you look at it (and compare liner notes and discographical entries), "So Much Doldinger" (a release for the German Record Club DSC) ORIGINALLY was a compilation of "Jazz Made in Germany" (released as "Dig Doldinger" in the USA) and of "Live at Blue Note Berlin" and is made up of half of each of these LPs. So what they did here was to usurp the title of that compilation LP and package assorted individual tracks onto that extra CD. Certainly nice fillers but no "original" ALBUM, this ...?? I wonder what made them shy away from marketing this as "4 Original Albums plus Bonus tracks" or similar? Have EPs or individual tracks become unmarketable to today's sales whiz kids? If one of these P.D. labels had done that one of their sets they would have been torn to shreds for misrepresentation by the usual suspects ... 😁 Quote

Big Beat Steve Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 Yet it's amazing to see this sort of shortcuts or trickery happen with a label that does seem to be official (which UMI Jazz Germany is, I suppose?) ... Quote

BFrank Posted June 1 Report Posted June 1 I'm steaming this, but I believe it's a box set Questlove, David Murray & Ray Angry Quote

Jim Duckworth Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Really enjoyed the piano-less quartet(s) with Kenny Dorham. Quote
