Dan Gould Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 I wonder if the Cannonball is this one: Japan TV, 1963 – 56 minutes Cannonball, Nat, Yusef Lateef (tenor, oboe) Joe Zawinul, Sam Jones, Louis Hayes, unidentified vocalist * 1) Jessica’s Birthday 2) Brother John 3) I Can’t Get Started 4) You and the Night and the Music * 5) One Note Samba 6) Work Song 7) Scotch and Water 8) Tango Tango 9) Trouble in Mind 10) Jive Samba Quote
Ken Dryden Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 Jazz Icons has set the standard for DVD issues with its detailed liner notes and packaging, to complement the well remastered performances. Quote
Mark Stryker Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Gang: The news here is the Sonny Rollins 1965 trio concert from Copenhagen with NHOP and Alan Dawson. Short snippets from "Oleo" and "St. Thomas" have floated around on youtube and elsewhere and I recently posted this link to "Oleo" in another thread. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=59...h&plindex=1 (haven't been able to locate St. Thomas for a couple months now -- anybody out there have a link?) I'm told the whole concert is 55 minutes long. The clips I've seen contain some of the greatest playing I have ever heard from Sonny -- at his peak in the late RCA/Alfie period and on this night, to borrow an old Ross Russell line about Bird, "in a mad blowing mood." I hope the rest of the concert is as hot as what I've seen so far. Can barely wait. Edited April 8, 2008 by Mark Stryker Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 We might expect Sonny to stop this release after "second thoughts". Quote
funkogre Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) We might expect Sonny to stop this release after "second thoughts". Here's a Christian McBride post about the good and bad of the Carnegie Hall concert. I think I remember reading an interview in which Sonny said he hated technology. Here it is. I'd imagine his opinion hasn't changed... I've heard the complete audio for the NHOP, Dawson concert and it's great. I hope it's the one they're putting out. I'm also excited about the Hampton. Maybe not quite as excited as though. Edited March 30, 2008 by funkogre Quote
kh1958 Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Posted March 30, 2008 So far Reelin' In the Years has only released films from European television, so perhaps not. I wonder if the Cannonball is this one: Japan TV, 1963 – 56 minutes Cannonball, Nat, Yusef Lateef (tenor, oboe) Joe Zawinul, Sam Jones, Louis Hayes, unidentified vocalist * 1) Jessica’s Birthday 2) Brother John 3) I Can’t Get Started 4) You and the Night and the Music * 5) One Note Samba 6) Work Song 7) Scotch and Water 8) Tango Tango 9) Trouble in Mind 10) Jive Samba Quote

It's 24 minutes long. The complete TV show could have been longer. I would be happy to have it complete and in the usual Jazz Icons quality. Quote
MartyJazz Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 We might expect Sonny to stop this release after "second thoughts". Gee, I hope not. His mid-60s period is the apex AFAIAC. I have the September 68 Copenhagen TV set (at least it's the one I think that Jazz Icons will be releasing) on a bootleg DVD and while it is very good (quartet date with Kenny Drew, NHOP and Tootie Heath), I think the '65 set promises to be excellent. If it too was done in Copenhagen in the fall of '65, then other pieces performed besides "Oleo" and "St. Thomas" should include "There Will Never be Another You", "Sonnymoon for Two", "Darn That Dream" and "Three Little Words", at least those are the tunes that are played on an audio CD-R I have.

I can't access that link but I assume you're talking of the "Jazz gehört & gesehen" show hosted by J.E. Berendt? I would rather think that Jazz Icons would not use that show. That was a long-standing series of jazz on TV (also including the Dolphy show and I think a 1963 Coltrane show, both well-known on boot releases or in trading circles). As far as I know, there's no more music from those "Jazz gehört & gesehen" shows - some of them have been aired on radio in one-hour shows which were filled up with other stuff after the 24 or 25 minutes were done (at least just this Adderley was on radio last year or the year before that). So let's rather hope they found yet another great unknown recording! Quote
Claude Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 The title "Live In '63" could cover 2 or more shows. What about the Lugano 1963 concert? Could it have been recorded by Swiss TV as well? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lugano-1963-Cannon...y/dp/B000024IY6 Quote
Claude Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) I just found this page on the Cannonball Adderley website: http://www.cannonball-adderley.com/movies.htm If it is complete, it should narrow down the possibilities. There are 4 sessions from 1963, 3 recorded in Europe (more likely to be included on the DVD, given the history of the series). 1) C.Adderley Sextet / Gothenburg - Sweden 3/20 1963 Personnel: Nat & Julian Adderley ,Joe Zawinul ,Yusef Lateef ,Sam Jones , Louis Hayes Tunes : Dizzy's Business , Primitivo , Falling in Love with love ,Angel Eyes and Jive Samba ( 30 'min) 2) Live in Baden-Baden- Germany 3/21/1963 Personnel: Nat & Julian Adderley ,Joe Zawinul ,Yusef Lateef ,Sam Jones , Louis Hayes Tunes : Jessica's Birthday , Brother John and Jive Samba( 30 mm) 3) C.Adderley Sextet / Lugano - Switzerland 03/24/1963 Personnel: Nat & Julian Adderley ,Joe Zawinul ,Yusef Lateef ,Sam Jones , Louis Hayes Tunes : Jessica's Birthday and Angel Eyes ( 30'min) 4) Cannonball Adderley in TOKYO '63 Toshiba/EMI #L080-1099 Japanese LaserDisc, NTSC, CLV Recorded live at Studio G by TBS TV on July 7, 1963 The program ; Jessica's Birthday , Brother John , I Can't Get Started , Work Song , Scotch & Water , Tengo Tango , Trouble in Mind , Jive Samba. Vocalist Toni Harper does two tunes with the rhythm section : You and the Night & One Note Samba . (53'mm) Edited March 31, 2008 by Claude Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Unless the producer's have declared that they are only dealing with European sources, I see no reason to dismiss out of hand the possibility of any and all Japanese TV recordings. Quote
king ubu Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Hm, but the Lugano set is out on TCB and is longer there (I don't have the disc, but I think it's an hour or so). No idea how the legal situation is... TCB has that one in their "Swiss Radio Days" series, which is one the best legally cleared series out ther of non-public domain radio recordings. I assume the series is so small as it's so difficult to release these recordings... Whatever it will contain, it will be great! That band with Lateef and Zawinul is my favourite Adderley band ever!

I've only had three of the first series from the library, don't own any, but doesn't it say somewhere in the booklets that the series IS specifically done to unearth treasures from the European broadcasting companies?
