Latest Japanese Re-issues from Hiroshi

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

True. I think that next time around, Bentsy might want to include the prices that Hiroshi has listed.

How's that Handy 'No Coast Jazz'? Can't find that Stitt title......was it released under another name?

[Head Man]

How's that Handy 'No Coast Jazz'?

It's the second of three albums he did for Roulette in the late 50's/early 60's and is very good. I love his sound and it's already distinctive, even at this early stage of his career(1960). He's playing with an excellent quartet consisting of Don Friedman (piano), Bill Lee (bass) and Lex Humphries (drums).

I seem to recall a discussion here some time ago about the possibility of Mosaic issuing a Select set of his Roulette recordings. Was that just wishful thinking?

[J.A.W.]

True. I think that next time around, Bentsy might want to include the prices that Hiroshi has listed.

Agreed.

Can't find that Stitt title......was it released under another name?

The Saxophones of Sonny Stitt is included in the Stitt Mosaic set. It was originally released under the same title, on Roost LP 2230. The album was recorded in NYC on April 2, 1958, with Jimmy Jones (piano) and Charli[e] Persip (drums); the bassist is unknown.

[J.A.W.]

This is actually a Jim Hall date:

TOCJ 50139 Modest Jazz Trio - Good Friday Blues

It was recorded by Pacific Jazz on April 2, 1960, with Hall, Red Mitchell and Red Kelly. I have the 1992 Japanese CD release (TOCJ-5424), which I bought from a forum member. Recommended to those who like Hall's Pacific Jazz date Jazz Guitar.

Oh good! Guess I already have the material then!

True. I think that next time around, Bentsy might want to include the prices that Hiroshi has listed.

OK, next time I'll post it with the prices.

[B. Goren.]

Prices are in Japanese yen.

Yes, looks good. I'm assuming that none of this Baker/Mulligan/JJ material has appeared before in any of the Proper sets ...... or various Mosaic big box/selects? Just checking.

I think these were issued by Muziek Centrum Nederland in 2007-2009.

http://www.muziekcentrumnederland.nl/nl/muziek-informatie-centrum/nieuws/artikel/artikel/931/

http://www.muziekcentrumnederland.nl/muziek-informatie-centrum/nieuws/artikel/artikel/3014/

However, they are 18 Euro each if you order from the source, so it may actually be cheaper to get them from Hiroshi.

Thanks Daniel!

I did not realize the Mulligan Amsterdam date was the Concertgebouw one.

But I did not know about the JJ Johnson Councertgebouw album.

More money to spend

[Daniel A]

Yes, indeed! All recordings I've heard with J.J. and Jaspar together are so fine, so I'll have to get this one as well...

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

Yes, thanks for the info Daniel! Just realized that Vaughan is w/trio, so will probably get that one as well.

[king ubu]

So these are Dutch releases but the cheapest way is to buy from Japan?

That's truly feghed up... but it's the same with Swiss labels... I buy there releases anywhere but locally.

All four of them look tasty!

I've never yet ordered from Hiroshi... what's the deal there? Just dropping him an email?

How about shipping? Will that be added to these prices here, or is it included already?

And where do you get these listings from? Will I get them once I'm on his mailing list?

[J.A.W.]

Yes, just drop him a line and no, the prices do not include shipping - that wouldn't be practical, since shipping charges are different to different parts of the world and subject to change. Hiroshi sends out these listings to everyone on his mailing list.

[Daniel A]

As well every other post I've seen here on the subject, I've got nothing but praise for Hiroshi. Shipping rates are very reasonable. I ordered 7 CDs in December; the charges were 1580 Yen, 13-14 EUR.

There's some interesting stuff in the "999 Yen batch" (posted by Bentsy here). For those who missed the Clare Fischer Mosaic Select (myself included) here's a chance to get his two first Pacific Jazz albums:

TOCJ 50134 Fischer,Clare(p)/First Time Out

TOCJ 50135 Fischer,Clare(p)/Surging Ahead

'Barefoot Adventure' is a nice one with Bud Shank, Bob Cooper and Carmell Jones:

TOCJ 50141 Shank,Bud(as)/Barefoot Adventure

This is lightweight, but has splendid woodwind arrangements by Clare Fischer:

TOCJ 50111 Shearing,George(p)/Bossa Nova

[David Ayers]

Barefoot Adventure is on the Mosaic. It's an OK listen I suppose and I guess I've played it a few times, but if I lost it I might not rush out to buy another....

I hadn't realised the Clare Fischer Select had gone, it's one of my favourites. Still, I'm surprised that it has sold out when some of the other (more popular?) sets are still around. Was it a 5000 copy set?

There never was a Clare Fischer Select. You are both probably referring to The Pacific Jazz Piano Trios Select with sessions under the leadership of Russ Freeman, Richard Twardzik, Jimmy Rowles and (indeed) Clare Fischer. Most of Fischer's recordings for PJ were originally released on 2 albums, 3 songs remained unissued; his complete PJ output can be found on the Select.

[jlhoots]

I'm still waiting for someone to "reissue" the Sandy Mosse & Cy Touff Argo albums.

Maybe soneday.

The Argo album Relaxin' with Sandy Mosse was reissued on CD in Japan in 1999. It's long OOP.

Yep - I tried with Hiroshi a while back but was unsuccessful.

That's why I used quotation marks around reissue.

I was a bit careless; it was indeed the "Piano Trios" Select I was referring to. To clarify, perhaps we should say that it's Clare Fischer's trio albums on Pacific Jazz that are on the Mosaic Select. There are also the albums "Extension" and "Manteca" for larger band.

I think that set was one of a few which were prematurely discontinued due to some error at the pressing plant; they mistakenly distroyed the masters, or something to that effect.

Yes, I did indeed mean his PJ trio albums, but didn't specify because I was referring to the PJ Piano Trios Select

Yep, it was one of the victims.
