king ubu Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Threadgill is cool! Will be looking for it! The Haden is weird... mostly sideman or collectively led stuff, no? A bit of a hodge-podge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 do you have a website or link? I tried and couldn't find anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 This is the website of CAM Jazz, the current owner of the Black Saint/Soul Note catalogues: http://www.camoriginalsoundtracks.com/site/index.php?site=&path=home There's nothing about the boxes there yet, though...

A Lark Ascending Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm really surprised at this. I can understand record companies still pitching 'boutique' sets of Miles Davis, given his cache beyond jazz. But this music is insider stuff. It's available as CD and as download. Surely it would make sense to just get some good quality discographical information/notes together and have it available for download? I'd have thought all this fancy packaging was a thing of the pre-download age. Good lord, even the reactionaries on the Gramophone hi-fi pages are backing away from their anti-download stance.

Maybe the idea is to stimulate demand by selling the box sets at budget prices? (The supposed reasoning being, sure, nobody's buying individual discs at $16.98 these days, but maybe you'll buy a 7-disc set for under $40, netting the label money they wouldn't have made otherwise.) One can only hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggery peccary Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Jazzloft is advertising these as available threadgill Any thoughts on these Threadgill titles? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Jazzloft advertised these today in their regular email blast. The 7-disc sets are $60, the 6-disc ones are $55, and the 5-disc ones are $50. Not quite the deal I was hoping for, but still significantly cheaper than the typical BS/SN prices of at least $15 a disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 On the Haden, I'd not put this up against the ECM Old and New Dreams, and I see that band as a more polite version of the Ornette Coleman quartet. The non-O&ND is Ok-ish. On the Threadgill, I do like Air but don't know how much you need and find these a little undercharged, while the Nuff-Nuff group is OK and the other stuff I find dry. The other sets I dunno. My 0.02 but much of the BS/SN material has gone cold on me after a period of eager accumulation. Not so great sonically unless they have gone in for remastering (um, and there's the usual Catch 22 right there...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprung for the Threadgill as I have only one title of the 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 The Threadgill stuff is more than fine, imo. And at < $9.00 per CD and remastered (hopefully well), it's a helluva deal. This and the upcoming Mosiac make it possible to, in two fell swoops, to learn and/or "catch up" with one of the major-yet-relatively-unheralded "jazz" figures of our time. Of course, that's just my opinion, and if anybody disagrees, well then, go right on ahead, you have the right. To be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 The box sets have just gone up for sale on the Black Saint site (www.camoriginalsoundtracks.com/site/index.php?site=&path=home) They are selling for 27.96 euros or 38.83US $'s (all sets the same price) - what a great deal!!

(just over $5.50 for each Threadgill disc) And they ship to the US, so at current exchange rates + ~$5 for shipping, that comes out to under $45 per set. Now that's more like it!

greggery peccary Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) I just nabbed the Threadgill and Rava sets from the CAM jazz website for $84 US dollars shipped. A much better deal than the jazzloft. We'll see how the whole shipping thing from Italy works out.

I'll disagree with David on Etudes - it's a great set with Haden, Geri Allen and Paul Motian. There's a superb version of "Lonely Woman" on it.

fent99 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Anybody getting the Pieranunzi??? How is his work? I like Pieranunzi but don't know this era other than on the Haden. I've seen him live a couple of times and greatly enjoyed. Like the recent sets on Cam Jazz (esp Live in Japan) anyone know any of these?

tranemonk Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 That's very good to know.. I just cancelled my jazzloft order and will order through CAM jazz... thanks for the info!
