Next batch of Conns (Fall 2004) - ???????

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??

5) Three Sounds and the Oliver Nelson Big Band (forgot the title)

6) Bobby Hutcherson - Head on

etc.......

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Steigs would rather make a Mosaic select.

The Fats Sadi was a licensed Vogue session, so ask French BMG for it!

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

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. :tup

Although certainly more stuff from Pacific Jazz wouldn't hurt...
