Indestructible! Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Hi All, I just noticed a posting at AAJ that was provided by Kevin Bresnahan concerning upcoming RVG's. Since I don't think he'll be posting here at Organissimo any time soon, I thought I'd pass along the link: http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread....p?threadid=1899 Looks like some good stuff in there! Cheers, Shane Quote
Indestructible! Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Posted October 3, 2003 Hi All, I'm especially looking forward to the following RVG's: February 2004 Sweet Honey Bee / Duke Pearson Goin' West / Grant Green March 2004 Newk's Time / Sonny Rollins Prayer Meeting / Jimmy Smith Between May and August of 2004 Breaking Point / Freddie Hubbard Home Cookin' / Jimmy Smith Inner Urge / Joe Henderson Buhaina's Delight / Art Blakey Free For All / Art Blakey Blue Spirits / Freddie Hubbard Action / Jackie McLean In 'N Out / Joe Henderson Tender Moments / McCoy Tyner Looks like Dexter Gordon and Joe Henderson are finally getting their due in this series!!! Although why Blue Note is reissuing "Destination Out" again is beyond me. It's a great album (one of my favorites, actually), but you can still find it as a Connoisseur, and it's part of Moncur's Mosaic Select. Still, my wallet is gonna take a big hit in the next few months!!! Cheers, Shane Quote
Free For All Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Free For All RVG! YES! That one could use some sonic upgrading. Quote
Indestructible! Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Posted October 3, 2003 Hi All, OK, someone please tell me..... Where are "Back at the Chicken Shack" and "Midnight Special"?????? These are CLASSIC Blue Notes, and should've been included in the first releases of the RVG series. Oh yeah, and sorry Soulstation... I don't see "The Gigolo" in there anywhere. Why is "The Sixth Sense" in that list? It went OOP very quickly after it was initially released. Still... I like this list of releases! Although isn't Ornette Coleman's "Love Call" now OOP? I was hoping it was rendered OOP so it could then be released in the RVG series, but so far I don't see it. Maybe next Fall? Cheers, Shane Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Andrew Hill / Black Fire Excellent!!!!! Quote
Gary Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Im sure we could all pick titles that we would like to see included that are not there (personally my collection is begging for more Larry Young)- but I'm really looking forward to getting these titles, I havent got any of these & for those of us (relative) newbies on this is board this series is a cracking way of building a Blue Note collection. Quote
Indestructible! Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Posted October 3, 2003 Hi Gary, I agree with you, this is a nice way to dive in to the Blue Note collection! And, it would be nice to see more Larry Young in the RVG! And let's face it... I'm pretty sure just about every Blue Note title from the 1500 and 4000 series will EVENTUALLY be released in the RVG series. Hell, he's already done most of them for Toshiba! It's just a matter of time... B) I'm really looking forward to "Goin' West" and "Free For All"!!! Cheers, Shane Quote
Shrdlu Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 The way it's going, they'll soon have an RVG of everything from 1501 through about 4300! Quote
mikeweil Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 As far as I can see that Jimmy Smith Rockin' the Boat is the only not yet on US CD. What disc is this, can it be recommended? Quote
mikeweil Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 AMG says it was Blue Note LP 84141 with Donald Bailey, Lou Donaldson and Quentin Warren, from 1963, his next to last LP before he signed with Verve. Sounds interesting enough. Don't know if I will buy any of the others, I'm not an upgrade fanatic. Quote
Indestructible! Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Posted October 3, 2003 Hi Mike, I've got "Rockin' the Boat" as a TOCJ, and it's a good one. It's not earth shattering in any way, just some standard good groove from Jimmy. I believe he cut this as one of his last titles before he left Blue Note... and some of those titles have the feeling of "let's record a bunch, then get outta here". I think Alfred just wanted as much Jimmy Smith in the can as he could get, and that's what this session represents. So, it's a good session, but certainly not up there with "Prayer Meetin'" or "Chicken Shack"... but I guess even average Jimmy Smith is still damn good in comparison to most others!! Cheers, Shane Quote

Cheers, Shane Hi Shane , the titles that stand out for me are the Lee Morgan , Jackie McLean & Horace Silver (just the names alone are enough of a recomendation) . But equally im looking forward to a couple of the titles from artist that i dont have anything by as a leader - Duke Pearson , Cecil Taylor & Blue Mitchell. Quote
Indestructible! Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Posted October 3, 2003 Hi Gary, You're going to LOVE that Cecil Taylor session! It's one of my favorites! The McLean albums are also amazing. Cheers, Shane Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Green's GOIN' WEST & Smith's HOME COOKIN' for me, as I have neither one. I'll wait to see if some of the others turn up in BMG. Quote
Gary Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Hi Gary, You're going to LOVE that Cecil Taylor session! It's one of my favorites! The McLean albums are also amazing. Cheers, Shane i must admit Cecil Taylor is an artist I've been meaning to check out for the last couple of years - so maybe this will be the best place to start. Quote
mikeweil Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 The Grant Green Goin' West also seems to be new to US CD. With Herbie Hancock, Reggie Workman and Billy Higgins this looks nice to me. Have Silver's Soul Sister only on LP, this may come on my list too. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted October 4, 2003 Report Posted October 4, 2003 I'm looking forward to Jackie McLean's Action! Whoo hoo! :rsmile: Quote
DrJ Posted October 4, 2003 Report Posted October 4, 2003 KILLER listing. VERY exciting news, thanks for sharing this guys. Quote
Jazzdog Posted October 4, 2003 Report Posted October 4, 2003 Anyone else notice that there is not a single Hank Mobley title amongst all of these. And what of the titles Kevin cannot mention yet. Do you think he is just yanking our chains here? ...and what about the Gigolo? Should I spring for the TOCJ? Quote
pryan Posted October 4, 2003 Report Posted October 4, 2003 Some very nice titles on the lists; my wallet is going to take a beating next year. At least three possible Dexter sessions, finally BN is getting their act together. From what I've heard from folks about GOIN' WEST, that'll be my first purchase of these new ones. THE SIXTH SENSE kicks ass too (upgrade time)! Quote

THE SIXTH SENSE kicks ass too (upgrade time)! Sixth Sense? Guess I am happy with the "old" version. Will the new version have the extra tracks? I did notice that Home Cookin was also recently remastered with extra tracks. Quote
Late Posted October 4, 2003 Report Posted October 4, 2003 I'm actually glad to see this series taking a pause on Mobley. While I would like to see an RVG of Hi Voltage, I appreciate that this series is branching out some. The big screw up (*), of course, is RVG-ing The Night of the Cookers instead of Here to Stay, which may very well be Freddie's finest moment on Blue Note. * I wonder if Sam Rivers will ever get the RVG treatment? Now that Andrew Hill will have a title in this series other than Point of Departure, we can all start crossing our fingers for Contours. Can't we? Quote
Leeway Posted October 4, 2003 Report Posted October 4, 2003 The way it's going, they'll soon have an RVG of everything from 1501 through about 4300! That's what I was thinking. At this rate, there will soon be nothing left in the vaults to re/release. THEN WHAT? Oh yeah, then SACD B) Quote
