Late Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I don't mean Jazz Nerd Fantasies to the affect of having delivered to your door the latest batch of RVGs by a team of Baywatch babes (though I suppose that would be, at the very least, interesting), I mean: If you were the Emperor of Jazz Issues or Reissues, what would happen? One example: A mini-LP of Ornette Coleman's New York is Now, with all the original artwork intact, and remastered by Malcolm Addey. This world is too serious sometimes. Time to have some goofy fun! Don't deny you haven't had certain Jazz Nerd Fantasies! (Even you, Chuck.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I believe that some of Cal Tjader's Verve material has never been on CD. I would release it all and keep it all in print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I would have a carefully researched collection of the Boris Rose material brought back to life in as many sets as it would need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 A misterious finding at Stamford of unlimited spare copies of OOP Mosaics just for me, starting with the Stuff Smith set ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Of course, a lavish, but severely under-priced, box of the complete Freddie McCoy Prestige recordings (with alternative takes and unreleased tracks, if any). The unreleased Grant Green Blue Note sessions. The unreleased Tommy Dean Vee-Jay session from 1956, which was Grant Green's first recording. Actually, a complete Tommy Dean set would be more than nice. Complete Sonny Lester recordings of: Jimmy McGriff Groove Holmes Dakota Staton O'Donel Levy Joe Thomas And we're still waiting for a Les McCann Mosaic box! Complete Bembeya Jazz National Syliphone recordings Complete Bembeya Jazz National Esperance recordings Complete Balla et ses Balladins Syliphone recordings Complete Keletigui et ses Tambourins Syliphone recordings Complete Fallou Dieng et le DLC vols 1-11 plus Diapason Complete Youssou N'dour Saprom recordings George Braith - Musart George Braith - Double your pleasure That'll do for now. Next year.... MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I'd like to see a collection of the radio broadcasts and television appearances of the Clarke Boland Big Band (and smaller ensembles)! I hope to see the next twelve volumes of D. E. T. S.! I want that damned "A Drum is a Woman" expanded reissue we deserve! I'd like to see a jazz Grammy to Allen Lowe for his excellent box sets!

sidewinder Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Two more to dream for: Mosaic to do a 'Complete Michael Garrick Argo Sessions' and a 'Complete Joe Harriott Columbia Lansdowne' or even: 'The Complete Lansdowne Modern Jazz Sessions 1960-70' Edited March 18, 2007 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybleaden Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I always had hoped that they would do a Blue Note paper sleeve reissue programme in chronological order say 5 a month and if you bought the lot you would get the unreleased or recent finds ...Andrew Hill etc Nerdy? You bet Even made room as I type on my shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Max Roach Live in Tokyo Max Roach Horo or even Complete recordings of Max Roach with Billy Harper Sun Ra Horos Anthony Braxton Aristas - packaged so I can avoid Music for Umpteen Orchestras Jack Wilson on Discovery Ted Curson - The Trio from the pop side Garland Jeffreys - Ghost Writer Spirit - Spirit of '76 A good Nolan Porter anthology. I haven't heard but am tired of reading aboiut. and bring back that Jimmy Webb Rhino set sometime when I have a few spare bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 A discovery of all the unreleased stuff that was lost in the Atlantic warehouse fire -- Fruscella/Brew Moore, the second Hasaan/Max Roach album, et al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I think that a "Blue Note Club" (no, not the Street Team) like the one that actually exists in Japan might be a good idea for the American and/or European markets. Save your obis, and then redeem them for CDs that aren't put out on the regular market. (Um, this way obis might actually have a real-life purpose.) As a result, more obscure albums could find a way into fans' collections — where they should be, instead of languishing in tape vaults owned by mega-corporations who aren't even really aware of them . The Japanese market did this for Sam Rivers' Dimensions & Extensions, among others. ---------------- Another "jazz nerd" fantasy: Give couw unlimited power to reissue the Amiga label as he sees fit. I'd buy the series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) I second Lon's request for a Boland/Clarke box set. Mosaic, are you listening? Related thread Edited March 18, 2007 by Free For All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) I'd like to see a collection of the radio broadcasts and television appearances of the Clarke Boland Big Band (and smaller ensembles)!

All these and an expanded "Ellington Indigoes." I'd add the Mosaic Ellington big band set of the stuff owned by Sony but that seems to be on the horizon. (Though the horizon for cd releases often reflects the real horizon: you can never reach it. ) Edited March 18, 2007 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 The Jazz Nerd in me would be also very interested in listening to those tapes that Jerry Newman recorded at Minton's and other interesting clubs and have still been kept in out of reach places!

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 A complete Rhoda Scott Barclay would be nice - part of Verve now. A complete Lou Bennett would also go down well. That would have to be assembled from quite few sources. Hard, but worthwhile. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 A big fat scholarly box set of territory bands of the 30's. Great choice. Not gonna tell you mine since they might still be possible if I don't talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W.

J.A.W. Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 A Complete Count Basie Columbia Sessions set with his late 1930s/early 1940s recordings would also be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Complete Count Basie Columbia Sessions set with his late 1930s/early 1940s recordings would also be nice. Yes to all of these propositions! And one more: a nicely done set collecting all of the Tadd Dameron airchecks! (with Fats Navarro but also the ones by later bands with Allen Eager, Kai Winding & the "Big Ten") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
