Parkertown Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 The JRVG of the Quebec session is one of the warmest, most beautiful-sounding cds I have. Quote
mjzee Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 The Quebec is a great session. I love Kenny Burrell's playing on that. I'll probably get the Duke Jordan. I've always been intrigued by the cover - Reid Miles almost never used serif type - the cover almost looks like a Riverside rather than a BN. I have the others - the Morgans on the Mosaic box. I don't particularly care for the Chambers - too much solo bass; it's just not that interesting a lead instrument. Quote

Bluerein Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 "The JRVG of the Quebec session is one of the warmest, most beautiful-sounding cds I have" Let's hope Rudy didn't "correct" this nice sounding Japanese RvG transfer for the new US edition............. Quote
king ubu Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I wont buy any of these - have them as TOCJ (Chambers - good one, in my opinion!), Conn (Quebec & Davis), part of a Mosaic (Morgan) and the Jordan I have from an Italian Blue Note Magazine issue. That Jordan is a hell of a fine album, by the way! Dizzy Reece is great on it, as is Stanley Turrentine! Still a rather underwhelming bunch, to me... Quote

The only ones I have from this bunch are Bass on Top and Morgan Vol. 3. This is the most exciting RVG batch since I started buying them about three years ago. Quote

I also have the Chambers TOCJ and agreed that the sound is terrific on that one, so I probably will not upgrade it. If anyone missed out on the early conn's and cc's though, there are a lot of those in this and the upcoming batch. I'm planning on grabbing the Davis since I passed on this one when it was reissued 12 years ago. Quote
poetrylover3 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 So how much is the S&H on the pre-orders and how do you place an order? Jeff T Quote
jazzbo Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Open up one of the links. Click on the Preorder Now button. Shipping within the US will be 2.99 for the first disc, 1.00 additional for the next. Quote

CJ Shearn Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) sold my Chambers Mosaic Select so I'll just buy what I think are the best 2 albums from that set: Whims of Chambers and Bass on Top, pass on the Morgan's cuz I have the Mosaic, and probably will check the others. Edited July 29, 2007 by CJ Shearn Quote
Tillugg Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Thanks for the recommendations on the Quebec. It's the only one I didn't have before, so I guess it's time to pick it up. Or preorder, even! Quote
sidewinder Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 [Has it really been 12 years since Davis Cup came out as a Connoisseur? Jeez... Those were the days. When every new batch of Conns seemed like Manna from Heaven ! Quote

The only ones I have from this bunch are Bass on Top and Morgan Vol. 3. This is the most exciting RVG batch since I started buying them about three years ago. Ok, that's a point of course! Anyway, I'm young too and started buying jazz around the time when the first batches of Conns were already impossible to find, still in the meantime I was able to get what I wanted in most cases, as far as BN is concerned, and while the Conns still hold some surprises, the RVGs as a series of reissues of stuff already on CD has turned more and moring to me... there were some cases, like that Lee Morgan disc with Frank Mitchell on tenor, The Sixth Sense, where the old CD edition had been out for just two years or so (and can still be found today), but already it was RVGed... it's just that I don't get the reissuing again and again of the same stuff... they could instead just keep some of it a bit longer in print and reissue other things instead that have become rarer to find (where's Reuben Wilson's "Blue Mode"? I didn't try really hard, but I never found that, for instance...) Quote
Kyo Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Those are nice albums, but... Paul Chambers – Bass On Top Got the Mosaic Select... Walter Davis, Jr. – Davis Cup Got the Connoisseur Edition... Duke Jordan – Flight To Jordan Got the Connoisseur Edition... Lee Morgan – Vol. 2 Got the Japanese edition... (could've been the old Mosaic set just as well) Lee Morgan – Vol. 3 Got the Japanese edition... (could've been the old Mosaic set just as well) Ike Quebec – Bossa Nova/Soul Samba Got the Japanese edition... (could've been the Conn just as well) Quote
jazzbo Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Just a little correction: Flight to Jordan was out twice (once as an early cd, one as a "Collectors Classic" reissue) in the US, but never as a Connoisseur. I have all this material. . . but I really like the RVG series, I think the sound, the covers and the layout are better than earlier issues, and I've bought every item in the series so far so I'll be getting these. I wait and get them as cheaply as possible for the most part. Quote
Kyo Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Just a little correction: Flight to Jordan was out twice (once as an early cd, one as a "Collectors Classic" reissue) in the US, but never as a Connoisseur. You're right, my mistake. I thought it was one of those early Conns without the typical transparent spine. Quote
BruceH Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Just a little correction: Flight to Jordan was out twice (once as an early cd, one as a "Collectors Classic" reissue) in the US, but never as a Connoisseur. You're right, my mistake. I thought it was one of those early Conns without the typical transparent spine. As a matter of fact, my copy has the white spine typical of the first few Connoisseur issues. Go figure. Quote

You're right, my mistake. I thought it was one of those early Conns without the typical transparent spine. As a matter of fact, my copy has the white spine typical of the first few Connoisseur issues. Go figure. Mine does, as well. Very nice record, sort of similar to "True Blue" in the sense that it's nothing revolutionary, just really well-played hard bop. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Then you have Collectors Classics copies like I do, they had the white center card. They're not Connoisseurs. Pretty damned good session, nice to have as an upcoming RVG! Quote
Big Al Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Those are nice albums, but... I agree; however in most cases, I have neither the Mosaics or the old Conns. So this batch is like manna from heaven for me! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 FWIW, I think the JRVG of Lee Morgan Vol. 2 is one of Rudy's best "remasterings". It jumps out of my speakers. Quote
BruceH Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Just a little correction: Flight to Jordan was out twice (once as an early cd, one as a "Collectors Classic" reissue) in the US, but never as a Connoisseur. You're right, my mistake. I thought it was one of those early Conns without the typical transparent spine.

Very nice record, sort of similar to "True Blue" in the sense that it's nothing revolutionary, just really well-played hard bop. There's something so "in the groove" about this session; I love it. In the sense you mention of being really well-played, melodic, hard bop, True Blue, Flight To Jordan, and Davis Cup are among my favorite Blue Notes. Quote
