Big News - Wolfgang's Vaults Acquires Newport Jazz Audio Library

[medjuck]

Hey they've now added the Cannonball Adderly Quintet as well as The Jazztet from 1960!

[Dan Gould]

I'm almost certain the Jazztet show floats around in trader circles, and in very good sound, too. But then again, compressed radio might not sound as good as the soundboard.

I don't think I've seen the Cannonball show pop up, however. Might have to spring for that FLAC download.

This looks interesting...

Also Bill Evans at Great American Music Hall. However lots of complaints about sound on RRK at Fillmore.

Listening to the Max Roach set. I need some more Clifford Jordan in my life.

[Dan Gould]

Mark beat me to it - I suspect there will definitely be some interest in both of these sets.

There's an allegedly unknown tune in the Roach set which I believe is 'It's Time'. If someone can confirm, I will then shoot them an e-mail.

[Chuck Nessa]

You should listen and tell us.

[JSngry]

it takes literally about 3 seconds, and you'll know that it is.

[medjuck]

So I'm waiting for the Pee Wee Russell with Buck Clayton and Prez from the 1958 Festival. I check every week. (seriously).

[Swinging Swede]

They have not released anything from the 1958 festival so far. I wonder if they have it.

[medjuck]

Arghh!!!

[bertrand]

I must not have been clear.

I listened to it and I knew right away that it was 'It's Time'. I wanted independent confirmation that it was the composition in question so I don't look like an idiot when I e-mail them.

I didn't say 'I heard a rumor that it was 'It's Time', I said that I believe it is 'It's Time'. Wasn't it obvious that it meant I listened to it?

Jeez, get a grip.

Dude, just tell them the truth, that cut XYZ is "It's Time". Nobody looks like an idiot when they tell the truth.

Well, sometimes they do, but that's not their fault...world gone wrong, etc.

But ok, consider it independently confirmed.

YOIKS!!

[BFrank]

... and the 2 extended tunes are great. Cowell's "Effi" and Merritt's "Nommo" which is a highlight of Lee Morgan's "Lighthouse" tour de force.

[bertrand]

Thanks, Jim, I will send them an e-mail.

And I will buy the whole concert this w/e.

Bertrand.

PS

Tried to send you a PM, but your box is full. Just to make sure you know that it was not you I was annoyed at.

Edited July 9, 2011 by bertrand

[JSngry]

Hey, even if it was, I've been married for 28 years and have raised two now-adult kids. At this point, having people be annoyed at me is kinda like Brer' Rabbit & the briar patch, ya' know?

[Dan Gould]

Finally Wolfgang's has reached back into the vaults instead of all of these 70s performances in non-Newport settings. From 1965:

Johnny Coles and George Coleman with Toshiko, Joe Chambers and Gene Taylor!

Does this mean we'll get more from 1965 sometime soon? Some pretty interesting possibilities

here. How about the Bartz/Gilmore/Morgan edition of the Messengers?
