Rooster_Ties Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) Vote early, but not often -- and vote for as many titles as you like. I'll tally the results, and even without Kevin - we'll get the results to Cuscuna. Anything goes, including ideas for sessions that haven't ever been released yet -- either to be released on their own, or as bonus tracks on the back of some other rare title. Anybody still have the results of the last time we did this?? Edited January 9, 2004 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Bluerein Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 OK here we go: 1) Kenny Cox (2-fer if possible or doubletime if not) 2) Frank Foster 3) Horace Silver & Wood , & Brass (2-fer if possible or doubletime if not) 4) Stanley Turrentine - Always Something there & Look of Love (2-fer if possible or doubletime if not) 5) Three Sounds and the Oliver Nelson Big Band (forgot the title) 6) Bobby Hutcherson - Head on etc....... Cheers, Reinier Quote

jlhoots Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Here's my usual batch: Don Cherry: Where Is Brooklyn Andrew Hill: Andrew!!! Andrew Hill: Compulsion Andrew Hill: Dance With Death Quote
Peter Johnson Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Tomcat (Lee Morgan) and Soothsayer (Wayne Shorter) remasetered to sonic beauty!!! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 I'd love to see some Conns of BN's early sessions. I loved the 10" series they released a few years ago. It would be great to get more 40's and 50's sessions out domestically. I also want Hill's Dance With Death, and any other unreleased sessions. How about a twofer of that? Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted October 20, 2003 Author Report Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) Tomcat (Lee Morgan) and Soothsayer (Wayne Shorter) remasetered to sonic beauty!!! Both of these would be MUCH more likely to come out as RVG's, since they've already been released on CD in the U.S. before. Conns (without exception, I think) are only dates that have never had a CD release in the U.S. (That said - Soothsayer and Tomcat would both make good RVG's.)

Swinging Swede Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Since there are only six titles in a Connoisseur batch, I’ll limit myself to that number. It would be easy otherwise to mention more or less every title I don’t have! Louis Smith – Smithville In stereo for the first time, and with the two additional tracks from the same session that only were on the Japanese ”The other side of the Blue Note 1500 series” compilation. Conte Candoli/Herb Geller a.o. – Best From The West, Volume 1 & 2 Two 10-inchers that actually were on Blue Note originally. Ike Quebec - From Hackensack To Englewood Cliffs It came out in the Japanese Lost Sessions series, but was not among the US Lost Sessions Connoisseurs. Why not release it now? The remaster is already done. Jimmy Smith – Minor Fare Unissued 1961 session – his only that year. Jackie McLean – Consequence Larry Young – Of Love And Peace I would have liked to include George Lewis’s Concert! in the list, but since a traditional jazz album isn’t likely to be a Connoisseur anyway, I chose six other titles instead. But it really is something I would like to see on CD. I only have an old very scratchy LP copy of this spirited album. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Great choices, Swede! I'd also like to add Dizzy Reece's Star Bright. I have a cdr copy of that cd and I love it. :rsmile: Quote
JSngry Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) Hey "Blue Note" - Get off the stick and get this Pacific Jazz gem out somewhere besides Japan for the FIRST time before putting out relatively average unreissued stuff or stuff that's already been out 2 or 3 times. AKA We now return you to your regular programming. Edited October 20, 2003 by JSngry Quote
Peter Johnson Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Ike Quebec - From Hackensack To Englewood Cliffs It came out in the Japanese Lost Sessions series Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone have a list of the issues from this series? Quote
Swinging Swede Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) Well, ”series” was maybe not the correct word, but there were a few titles that appeared in Japan, that didn’t appear in the US, because ’unissued’ was interpreted differently. In the US Cuscuna wanted to release only titles that never had been released in any form before, while they in Japan also included titles that only had been released as part of Mosaic sets, and never as inidividual albums. Two of them were Tina Brooks’s The Waiting Game and Freddie Redd’s Redd’s Blues. Those two titles did however come out in a later Connoisseur batch. The Quebec title didn’t. But it’s not too late. It even included a couple of originally rejected tracks that weren’t in the Mosaic box. Edited October 20, 2003 by Swinging Swede Quote
Peter Johnson Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Well, DAMMMMMN! Add my vote to "From Hackensack"...and KEEP THAT COVER! Quote
jlhoots Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 One more: Pepper Adams: Critics Choice Was on World Pacific or Pacific Jazz. Adams, Lee Katzman (trpt.), Rowles, Doug Watkins, Mel Lewis ( I think that's all correct). Quote
mikeweil Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) Jim Sangrey has it right: The CHICO HAMILTON TRIOS!!!!! (thanks for the cover!) Conns: The Johnny Rae United Artists with Herbie Mann, Philly Joe Jones et al The Urbie Green 10" The Tommy Flanagan Trio (United Artists?) released only on a Japanese Blue Note LP The McCoy Tyner Cosmos twofer tracks with trio and strings not on the Asante CD The Andrew Hill One For One sessions any other Andrew Hill not yet on domestic US CD The Tyrone Washington "trainwreck"session !!! The unreleased McCoy Tyner with Shorter and Vitous Jack Wilson with Roy Ayers on United Artists The Horace Silver and ... would rather make a nice Mosaic Select.

catesta Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 I don't know if it's possible, but I would like to think it is. Quote

Shrdlu Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Michael Cuscuna is not keen on those two Turrentine sessions, Reinier, so I doubt that he would put these out. I have them (in the form of horrible "Liberty Applause" CDs and an LP of one of them) and although I like them, they are not like the earlier, hard-bop albums by Stanley. They are more pop-orientated, and there are many albums in that vein that I prefer to these; for example, the Sergio Mendes albums. I don't reach for these Turrentines very often. Quote

mikeweil Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 conns: booker ervin.............unissued session Who's on that unissued Booker Ervin session??? Quote
davef Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 Andrew Hill - Andrew! Larry Young - Contrasts Bobby Hutcherson - Knucklebean (Not sure if that's really in a Conn Vibe, but let's roll with it for now) Erroll Garner - Some 10" LP's to make a Conn Lou Donaldson - Midnight Sun (OK, that just came out on Mosaic..hey in that case the master is fresh, right?) Sam Rivers - Contours Quote
Jazzmoose Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 I'd love to see some Conns of BN's early sessions. I loved the 10" series they released a few years ago. It would be great to get more 40's and 50's sessions out domestically. I'll just toss in another vote for this idea. Although certainly more stuff from Pacific Jazz wouldn't hurt... Quote
