mikeweil Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 "My little Cello" has been omitted due to time reservations and has been put on that Philips-LP, which was a tribute to the late Pettiford. It is probably wishful thinking to expect they include it on the MPS CD reissue? Quote
king ubu Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Hi Christian! Nice to see you joining in here, too! And thanks for clearing up things re. those Koller/Pettiford dates! I've read that Behrendt passage somewhere, too - that was the reason I bought the LP of "Vienna Blues" several years ago. Mike, a little bit further up in this thread you see that the MPS reissue will not include that track! A pity, indeed! But let us be glad they do finally produce reissues again (and such nice ones, too ) ubu Quote
mikeweil Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 It's a shame - they do not spend any money on serious reissues - just straight from the "original master tape". No looking into discographies or databases, it seems. I don't mind if they are digipacks, jewel cases or mini-LP cover, I'd even take naked CDs with downloadable artwork - just as long as they take care and include those bonus tracks released on obscure albums. What else was on that Pettiford tribute, BTW? Quote
mikeweil Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Bought the Koller "Exclusiv" CD today - sound is very good, a little bit on the bright side as is the case with most recent reissues: when will those remastering engineers understand they boosted up the treble because the LP mastering and reproduction and playback equipment had its limits in those days, so you have to reduce them a little when remastering to CD? It's a pity there are only four tracks of the quartet with Pettiford and Zoller on this CD ... the ryhthm section on the nonet tracks is a little stiff compared to the Zoller/Pettiford/Pratt team.

Claude Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Thanks Christian for the update. Not much for me in that batch. But I still have to get the rest of the Koller albums. Quote
sidewinder Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Anyone have any thoughts as to hos the MPS Jankowskis sound? I keep associating him with 'A Walk in the Black Forest' but maybe there's more to his work than that, perhaps? Quote
Clunky Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 are these to be distributed outside of Germany ( i.e. to the UK) or must I bluff my way through amazon germany for the Kollers Quote
mikeweil Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 However, still not certain those tracks are not identical. Forgot to mention: they are not identical. Four more Pettiford tracks in my collection! Quote
chris olivarez Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 Does MPS have a web site and other than Dusty Groove are these reissues available in the US? Quote
Claude Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 www.mps-label.de is the homepage, a redirector to the german Universal Music jazz site www.jazzecho.de Quote

Claude Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 I ordered "Phoenix" just a few days ago from amazon.de, now I have all of the Koller MPS albums released so far. Consistingly brilliant stuff. Quote
Jug21 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 More unreleased Koller-, Pauer- & Ross-material from this archive (which include also sessions by Mangelsdorff, Zoller, Manfred Schoof) you'll get here: http://www.wewerka-online.de (go to "catalogue & artists" and then click "Jazz Collection") Christian Quote
soulpope Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 was just listening to the weverka archive - forum west 1962 - 1968 again and i`m very enthusiastic about the music (and the fat sound - super transfer quality). as the remaining unissued material from the featured artist seemingly is not available anymore via download (from weverka), it is said that more of it will be reissued soon on cd due to the great success of the forum west comp. christian, others, any news about this ? cheers, emil Quote
Clunky Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 was just listening to the weverka archive - forum west 1962 - 1968 again and i`m very enthusiastic about the music (and the fat sound - super transfer quality). tis excellent stuff. sound of the LPs is top notch. Gary did you get this? Quote
couw Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 I just received two of the regular Wewerka disks: Unforgettable Ronnie Ross and Night Bounce, although there is some uneveness in the sound quality between the different sessions, even on the same disk (levels, stereo stage, instrument placement) these have very nice sound indeed and offer superb music Quote
