BeBop Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) I just got an e-mail from Cadence telling me that this has been reissued on CD. 1974: FROM IN TO OUT / DIZZY REECE QUINTET, Feat. John Gilmore, Tenor Sax, Art Taylor, Drums, Zigfield Kessler, piano, Patrice Caratini, contre bass. Rec. Live Concert in Paris, France. It was an old Futura LP that garnered top-dollar when it turned up. (Ghost of Miles was looking for it, once upon a time.) Reece speaks highly of the date in an AllAboutJazz interview. Has this been out on CD before? Am I justified in having a Chewy-level excitement over this?!?!?!? Edited October 1, 2008 by BeBop Quote
Joe Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 To the best of my knowledge, this is this session's first appearance on CD. Long been intrigued by this one, largely due to that frontline. BTW, the Futura website has the recording date listed as 1970 (1974 being date of original release, I suspect). http://futuramarge.free.fr/ (scroll down) Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Has anybody here heard it?? Is the glass half full, or half empty?? Quote
Stereojack Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Has anybody here heard it?? Is the glass half full, or half empty?? I have a CDR that somebody burned for me a few years ago. Haven't listened in a while, but my recollection is that the date is a little more "out" that what we can usually expect from Reece. This is one of the handful of sessions featuring Gilmore away from Sun Ra, which makes it worthwhile for that reason alone. Quote
brownie Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 This was reissued on CD by Marge a couple of years ago as a very limited release (a couple of hundred copies) which was mostly distributed in Japan only. Problem with the reissue was the use of the original cover photo. The photographer wanted a lot of money for the reuse of the image. Hope the conflict has been resolved by now. Have yet to see a copy of this new Marge issue. I am happy with the original vinyl! Quote
sidewinder Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 I think there's a track from this on that Dizzy Reece New York radio interview (and from my memory it sounded really good) - would like a copy of the Futura though. Nice to see you back for a visit Brownie - I was just admiring your photos of Albert Ayler in the 'Holy Ghost' book last night. Quote

Nice to see you back for a visit Brownie - I was just admiring your photos of Albert Ayler in the 'Holy Ghost' book last night. just wanted to post the link again have posted this elsewhere, but a sample track as part of a radio broadcast from the Reece Futura album is found here http://dizzyreece.blogspot.com/2005/02/jaz...ogram-wbgo.html i think it is track 14, as (if i remember this correctly) an annotated version of the same thing is found here (scroll down a bit) http://www.christopherporter.com/2005/02/d...deux-after.html edit to add: neither link works anymore, but the interview and track is still found here http://www.dizzyreece.com/ scroll down a bit to the february 13 2005 post... guess it's still track 14 Edited October 2, 2008 by Niko Quote
bertrand Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Is Zigfield Kessler related to Siegfried Kessler? Bertrand. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Glad to see this one is finally being properly reissued. I have an original vinyl and it's a fantastic session of weighty, vamp-based and searing modern jazz. Reece deserves a hell of a lot more recognition for his post-BN career. Quote
Peter A Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Too bad the original cover could not be duplicated. I like the old one much better than the new one: Quote

BruceH Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 If John Gilmore's on it, I'm interested. Quote
BeBop Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 If John Gilmore's on it, I'm interested. 'zactly. And I like Kessler too. And ya can't go wrong with Art Taylor. And Reece. Quote

Head Man Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) It's showing as 'temporarily out of stock' at Cadence & also 'being restocked' at the Marge/Futura site so I wouldn't hold your breath! I've been trying to get a copy of this for several years now and its release keeps getting put back. Apparently the owner of Marge/Futura Records was/is in dispute with the photographer who took the photographs for the original album cover and this has prevented it being released. I had it on vinyl many years ago and I remember it as being an excellent album. Fingers crossed that it comes out one day! Edited October 9, 2008 by Head Man Quote
Head Man Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 I take it all back! I just received a copy from Downtown Music Gallery this morning, so it is back in circulation again. It's an excellent session with Art Taylor, in particular, in blistering form. Well worth getting. Here's the link if anyone's interested: Visit My Website Quote
king ubu Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 I missed this thread - great to see this album reissued! Will look for it! How about "Nirvana", the album linked to on that Reece page (link goes to CDbaby which sells it)? Anyone heard it? Impressions? Quote

How about "Nirvana", the album linked to on that Reece page (link goes to CDbaby which sells it)? Anyone heard it? Impressions? can't check from work but aren't there longer sound samples somewhere... like on his myspace site... sounded a bit esoteric to me iirc (but this may be completely wrong) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 It's not at all like the BN or Tempo dates... maybe a little out of the "Achmet" bag, but extended into freer territory. Quote
BeBop Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Posted December 31, 2008 Downtown Music Gallery and Cadence haven't been able to fill my 'gift' order (supposed to be for Christmas). CD Baby doesn't list. Anyone had any luck lately? Quote

Anyone had any luck lately? I managed to score a copy at Dusty Groove. You might try them. They are out of stock now, but will get more, so you can sign up to be notified when it is in stock. It's good, though a little on the short side. Quote

Anyone had any luck lately? I thought you've been saying for years that you no longer buy recorded music? And here I always envied you for leading a clutter-free existence. What a let down. Quote
