The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 I just posted this on the what are you listening to thread All morning, so far, and I haven't finished yet, I've been playing a Mosaic that I can guarantee will NEVER be issued: THE COMPLETE LOU DONALDSON BLUE NOTE RECORDINGS 1967-1974 Lush life Alligator bogaloo Mr Shing-a-ling Midnight creeper Say it loud Hot dog Everything I play is funky Pretty things The scorpion Cosmos Sophisticated Lou Sassy soul strut Sweet Lou (Now on Cosmos) Oh WOW! MG And I thought it would be fun to make up some Mosaic sets that WON'T be issued. Of course, the Lou Donaldson Mosaic would have to have the four complete unissued sessions and numerous unissued tracks from the issued sessions added. Any other, preferably irreverent, suggestions?

Big Al Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 This would be a Mosaic Select: The Complete "Train Wreck" Sessions of Tyrone Washington Quote
Hot Ptah Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Anything by Sun Ra. The Mosaic people told me so, in response to my email suggestion that they release some Sun Ra. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) This would be a Mosaic Select: The Complete "Train Wreck" Sessions of Tyrone Washington Actually, the complete BN sessions by and with Tyrone Washington would make a NICE Select. 5 sessions -- perfect for 3 CD's. From the BN discograhy, 2001 edition, Tyrone Washington appeared on the following BN sessions... 1) Horace Silver - "The Jody Grind" Nov. 2nd & Nov. 23rd, 1966 w/ Woody Shaw (tp), Larry Ridley (ba), Roger Humphries (dm), and Nov. 23rd only: James Spaulding (as, fl). 2) Larry Young - "Contrasts" Sep. 18th, 1967 w/ Hank White (flh), Herbert Morgan (ts), Eddie Wright (g), Eddie Gladden (dm), Stacey Edwards (cga), and for one tune only: Althea Young (vo). 3) Tyrone Washington - "Natural Essence" Dec. 29th, 1967 w/ Woody Shaw (tp), James Spaulding (as, fl), Kenny Barron (p), Reggie Workman (ba), Joe Chambers (dm). 4) Jackie McLean - unreleased/rejected session (5 tunes recorded) Jul. 5th, 1968 w/ Woody Shaw (tp), Bobby Hutcherson (vb), Scotty Holt (ba), Norman Connors (dm). 5) Tyrone Washington - unreleased/rejected session (5 tunes recorded) -- the infamous "Trainwreck" Aug. 16th, 1968 w/ Herbie Hancock (p), Herbie Lewis (ba), Jack DeJohnette (dm).

Tony Pusey Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 So Hot Ptah, I suppose that means that the complete El Saturn sessions is unlikely? Quote
Hot Ptah Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 So Hot Ptah, I suppose that means that the complete El Saturn sessions is unlikely? I suggested that to Mosaic. They were not interested. They said that the albums were too inconsistent in quality. Quote

They said that the albums were too inconsistent in quality. Hm, that would be a project for Revenant... or make that "The Complete Sun Ra Sessions - Every Note, Every Fart" or something like that... instead of a box, it could come in a pre-furnitured house so that all the CDs would fit in Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Anybody think there's any real chance of this proposed Tyrone Select becoming a reality someday?? Here's the current status of the 5 sessions, and their most recent CD reissue (if any)... 1) Horace Silver - "The Jody Grind" -- McMaster CD reissued in 1991, and not (yet) re-reissued in the RVG series. I understand the McMaster comes from an LP source (if I remember correctly), so the tapes may be damaged or missing. 2) Larry Young - "Contrasts" -- never (yet) released as a single CD anywhere in the world (not even in Japan), and last reissued on the Larry Young Mosaic, which has been out of print for going on 6 or 8 (or 10?) years now. 3) Tyrone Washington - "Natural Essence" -- only ever released on CD in Japan (a TOCJ, pre-dating the JRVG series)), which has been out of print for several years now. My on-line checking (Amazon and Allmusic) says it was issued on CD in Japan in 2004, but I think this is wrong. I think the TOCJ goes back a number of years earlier than that. (I'm away from my copy, I'll have to check later and see -- my memory is that it was issued in Japan maybe around 1997.) 4) Jackie McLean - unreleased/rejected session (5 tunes recorded) -- never before released in any format. 5) Tyrone Washington - unreleased/rejected session (5 tunes recorded) -- the infamous "Trainwreck" -- never before released in any format. So, I think there is some argument to made for such a Select becoming a reality. Is this worth proposing to MC?? Edited June 24, 2008 by Rooster_Ties Quote

Certainly couldn't hurt to ask, although those in the know say that Cuscuna will NEVER change his mind about the so-called train wreck session. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 The "Complete UK Tempo Label Modern Jazz Sessions" would be awesome but I give it 0% probability. Quote
Bluerein Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Natural Essence: TOCJ-4274 issued in 1997...yeah those were the days you could find a TOCJ with the LP number after it. Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 The "Complete UK Tempo Label Modern Jazz Sessions" would be awesome but I give it 0% probability. I agree, but if it ever should materialize then count me in as a taker. Quote
