BFS Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 TURANDOT The Bob Belden Ensemble is an inventive jazz treatment of the Puccini opera Turnandot. This ensemble includes Wallace Roney, Tim Hagans, Joe Lovano, Dave Liebman and Tony Williams among others. When the music publishers of the original opera found out, they withdrew permission to use Puccini’s music, just before the CD was issued. It was briefly released in Japan where copyright laws are different. But about 50 copies of the US/European version leaked out. This one is verrrry difficult to get your hands on. POPPIN' Hank Mobley Japan TOCJ. Features Pepper and is a great recording. This one can be found and is worth the effort! Quote

clifford_thornton Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 There was a Mosaic Select of the Elvin material, but it's OOP. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 There was a Mosaic Select of the Elvin material, but it's OOP. Huh? Oh. . . there was a full blown box set of the material, out of print for some time. But not a Select. Right? Quote

Bluerein Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Cheshire Cat by Ronnie Foster (TOCJ-6292). I'd order it when it was released together with the rest of the same series but it never came. Later I tried to get it through eBay but it was never offered. Finally some years ago I found a copy. This must have been pressed only a few hundred times. Quote
Claude Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Wayne Shorter - Moto Grosso Feio Wayne Shorter - Odyssey of Iska Not that rare. Moto Grosso Feio is available used for $10: http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Grosso-Feio-Way.../dp/B001E4VXJ8/ Odyssey Of Iska has been reissued in the Amazon CD-R series: http://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-Iska-Wayne-S.../dp/B000008C8J/ Quote
king ubu Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Gee, there's so much rare music, by comparison almost nothing on BN really rates as rare... take the 10 inch of West Coast reissues, they were all readily available for a while. As with books, after a few years CDs just go OOP, that's life. Now I'm sure there's some Blue Notes stuff that is very rare, though Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Assuming we're talking about the actual CD itself and not the music on it... James Newton - Romance And Revolution Leo Parker - Rolling With Leo (non-RVG) Jimmy Smith - Cool Blues (non-RVG) Hank Mobley - Straight No Filter (non-Connoisseur) Hank Mobley - Quartet (Complete) (non-RVG, Japanese-only issue) Andrew Hill - But Not Farewell Jerry Bergonzi - Standard Gonz Not "Blue Note", but titles issued in Japan on their Something Else sister label which usually showed up in the US on Blue Note. These never made it: Renee Rosnes - Face To Face Joe Lovano - Tenor Time I agree that Belden's "Turandot" is impossible to find. I got my copy from one of the musicians who played on it. Quote
BFS Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Posted February 9, 2009 Jimmy Smith Trio + LD Blue Note 1610, TOCJ of July 1957 date with Lou Donadlson. Hank Mobley, Curtin Call Blue Note 1611, TOCJ featuring Sonny Clark, August 1957. Quote
Dan Gould Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Not "Blue Note", but titles issued in Japan on their Something Else sister label which usually showed up in the US on Blue Note. These never made it: Renee Rosnes - Face To Face Joe Lovano - Tenor Time Wouldn't Benny Green's Blue Notes also qualify? I remember reading in DB that Green was going to record a set of Blue Note associated tunes and thinking that would be one to get, but only many years later did I stumble across a copy at a Borders in VA, the only copy I've ever seen. And I'm certain it never came out stateside on BN. Quote
BFS Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Posted February 9, 2009 Ike Quebec, "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs" TOCJ 66083 Two sessions from July 1959. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Ike Quebec, "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs" TOCJ 66083 Two sessions from July 1959. Oh yeah, this is definitely a rare one. So are the other two or three that came out at the same time. John Hardy's "Tired" and the one or two Ike Quebec titles. I've only been able to get an original of "Tired". I gave up on the others. Last one I saw on eBay went for over $50. Too rich for my pocket. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Two Ike Quebec titles. And several Bechet, Art Hodes, and a few compilations of hot jazz on Blue Note. Glad I paid about 20 a piece and got these when the getting was good. Great sound. Quote
Parkertown Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Wasn't one of the sessions on the Ike Quebec, "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs" (which I have) issued on some domestic cd? Hmmm...looking at the cds, I don't think so... Perhaps I'm thinking of "Congo Lament"... Quote
Trumpet Guy Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Besides Bob Belden's "Turandot" there is "Prince Jazz" by Bob Belden's Manhattan Rhythm Club; recorded just after "Turandot" in 1993. With many players, playing jazzy Prince songs, including Wallace Roney, Kenny Garrett, Mike Stern, Tim Hagans, Marc Copland, Joey Calderazzo, Kevin Hays, Larry Goldings, Jacky Terrason, Billy Kilson...TOCJ-5565--Good Record!!! Not to be confused w/ a Belden's " Prince" US release(much less jazzy)! Quote

jazzbo Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I vaguely remember what that's like! Quote
Shawn Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Wasn't one of the sessions on the Ike Quebec, "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs" (which I have) issued on some domestic cd? Hmmm...looking at the cds, I don't think so... Perhaps I'm thinking of "Congo Lament"... The first 8 tracks on the disc were released on the 45 Sessions Mosaic & Blue Note reissue. Leaving only Cry Me A River and Uptight as the orphaned tracks. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) How about Bobby Hutcherson 'Oblique' RVG in the sought-after 'Herbie Hand-cock' edition. Maybe only a few hundred of those before they were yanked off the shelf.. Edited February 9, 2009 by sidewinder Quote
AndrewHill Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Throw in Pete LaRoca's Basra while we're at it. Maybe we'll get this one when were through with this Iraq business. Quote
