brownie Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Coming up very soon this 3CD set from Rare Live Recordings: Question now is: will Sue take revenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Looks like this will be rip/needle drop from another pirate? 4LP set (BAT 5/8) called "The Complete Birdland Sessions" plus extra titles hopefully - it was supposed to have been released as a 200 ltd edn set (Lord Discography) Edited October 26, 2010 by romualdo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 it's supposed to have Knepper, Roland Kirk, Booker Ervin, I think. How was the sound on those originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) The sound on the tapes that I have is fair-good. It is good enough to hear clearly what is happening. Jazz View released some of this material on CD before in its "historical masters" series: Edited October 26, 2010 by John L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The material I've heard has been in good-enough sound. It also documents Toshiko's passing through the Mingus orb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The Charlies Mingus Birdland Broadcasts were detailed on this site! Presume the 3CD set will have all that has been available on the various bootlegs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have a 3 CD bootleg CD Rom of this material that I found used a few years ago. I would suspect this is a copy of that "release." The sound was okay for the most part but sounds like it might be a few generations of copies down the line from the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have some of that with McPherson, but would love to hear the Booker Ervin stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 A cleaned up official release of this material would be terrific! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I agree, but if I were the one putting this out I'd be sure to hire security that was Sue Mingus-proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 On the other hand, she's not been doing much to spread Mingus' own music in the past years... a release in 1997, the Cornell set, the UCLA... , still not easy to find the Monterey 1965, still no sign of "My Favorite Quintet" or any more official 1964 sets. I guess she wasn't involved in the two 2CD sets released/reissued by Universal France (the 1970 band with Bobby Jones and the 1964 Great Paris Concert). Of course what she does with the Mingus Big Band is great, but I'd really wish she'd have made use of the CD boom from the mid 90s to the mid 00s and put out some Mingus releases. Nowadays, I guess it's too late anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I was joking. . . she's done practically nothing. But she's probably doing what she can and wants to, which is her elder stateswoman right. It would be great if she would delegate and oversee work on getting more Mingus out there officially, but she may not want to waste waning energy on something the pirates aren't going to stop doing anyway.

king ubu Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 That's why I wrote "would be" since this is NOT it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 An official release of his Newport appearances would be nice as well. And some live concerts from the Changes band. Plus the Ronnie Scotts recordings by Columbia that were never released at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yes indeed! At least the Newport and Ronnie Scott's stuff is around in very good quality! And of course there are good quality Adams/Pullen boots around... not my favorite era of Mingus though. I guess many of you witnessed that band live, but I'm too young for that. Might have another stance if this were different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppy T. Frog Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 How about somebody volunteer to buy this from the Andorran pirates and then send rips around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILLYQ Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 I'd love to see the release of the entire concert of 'at Carnegie Hall'. I was at the gig and Mingus did a set with his band before the jams that was smokin' hot. I can only hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom in RI Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I remember Columbia released some Boris Rose Charlie Parker material way back when (One Night at Birdland). Has any other Rose material seen major label release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
