Tjazz Posted September 17, 2010 Report Posted September 17, 2010 Noticed some Jimmy Giuffre has been re-issued in Europe. A 4 album series (on 2 CDs). The Jimmy Giuffre set can be purchased for $10.

Kyo Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 There's an Avid set that combines three albums (plus some bonus tracks) on two CDs:Ad Lib7 PiecesThe Jimmy Giuffre Quartet in Person+ 3 tracks from The Four Brothers SoundI guess these are needle drops? I'm not aware of any official CD releases of this material (if there were any, please let me know). Quote
king ubu Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 There were Spanish editions of all three of these as well ... but yes, to my knowledge, Avid is at least straightforward and does its own needle drops, instead of stealing and filtering others' transfers (no idea what's better with regard to sound quality).I've have loved a Verve Giuffre set (just as much a Verve Konitz set), but I guess the Spaniards interfered to a point where it would no longer be profitable.

JohnS Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 I have the Avid set. I don't have the records to compare but the sound on the "Four Brothers" tracks is awful and a rather odd elsewhere. Treat with caution. Quote
xybert Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 The Four Brothers Sound was recently reissued as part of the 1000Y Warner EU/JP series. Quote
