hepcat1950 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Folks, there's a new label in Germany going to reissue albums from the MPS vaults which is now partly owned by the Universal Music Group. Bodo Jacoby founded Promising Music as a label to reissue MPS albums on CD. The website of Promising Music finally has gone live. http://www.promising-music.com/ The first batch has been announced and can be ordered online. The first batch includes: ASSOCIATON P.C. + JEREMY STEIG: Mama KukuCHARLIE MARIANO: Helen 12 TreesDON “SUGAR CANE“ HARRIS: Sugar Cane’s Got The BluesGEORGE DUKE: Faces In ReflectionTHE DAVE PIKE SET: Live At The PhilharmonieWOLFGANG DAUNER: Free Action I got Helen 12 Trees, and it looks and sounds great!

clifford_thornton Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I've always wanted that Dauner but somehow never owned it. Purportedly heavy. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I wonder if they'll reissue the four Milt Buckner albums MPS issued. MG Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 You can go to the site and add things to a "wish list." I just did. Quote
analogak Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 headman, in case you were not aware, there have also been some MPS albums reissued via japan recently. i am listening to mike nock's "between or beyond" as we speak. i had also ordered george duke's "feel". thank g_d someone else is taking charge because MPS certainly spit the bit. i hope we get some more dauner albums. get up and dauner!

blake Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 You can go to the site and add things to a "wish list." I just did. Me too. I'd like to see those Cecil Taylors. Quote

analogak Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 cecil taylors black forest album has been reissued on CD in japan also. Quote
hepcat1950 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for that link, dumpy mama. Though being located in Germany I never saw Et Cetera live, and I also missed the tv feature. Quote
analogak Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 yeah pretty awesome! i wish all the dauner MPS albums would be reissued. hopefully more will come out. some of them have marketable names like larry coryell on them. though ironically i do not like the oimels, which is actually pretty readily available. i find dave pike's MPS stuff a bit cutesy. Quote
analogak Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 oimels being cutesy like dave pike, imo. hope they reissue some more volker kriegel also. the one available album is not one of my favorites Quote
mikeweil Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) ..... the MPS vaults which is now partly owned by the Universal Music Group. Could you explain, please? Which part is owned by who else? Edited January 30, 2008 by mikeweil Quote
felser Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 That is THE Sugarcane Harris album. I am really glad to see it on CD. I'd like to see Hannibal Peterson's 1975 MPS album on CD also. Quote
paul secor Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I'd like to hear Cecil Taylor's Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! recording someday. I'm still listening to and digesting the Cecil I already have in my collection, so there's no hurry. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Maybe they could reissue the Gittin' to Know Y'all with a bunch of that bonus material! Quote
hepcat1950 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) ..... the MPS vaults which is now partly owned by the Universal Music Group. Could you explain, please? Which part is owned by who else? Sorry, I don't know the details of the MPS catalogue sale. The only thing I know from talking to Bodo Jacoby is that UMG bought a part of the catalogue only. No idea what share and which items of the total catalogue has been purchased by UMG. Btw, I'll be offline for a week or so. CU Edited January 30, 2008 by hepcat1950 Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 You know him personally? I just emailed him through the site and look forward to his response. Quote

We didn't meet in person, but he contacted me to get the permission to use one of my pictures of Charlie Mariano with Sangam for the booklet to Helen 12 Trees. We are in contact via email and phone. PS The wish list should give a pretty good overwiew of the (430 listed) items available in the UMG catalogue. If I remember it correctly (from the tv feature "MPS. Jazzin' the Black Forest" which is available on DVD) the complete MPS catalogue counts a bit more than 700 albums. Edited January 31, 2008 by hepcat1950 Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 FWIW, I'd like to see Fly, Fly, etc and Zo-Ko-Ma. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Zo-Ko-Ma. Indeed, that is a great one. Quote
