Chuck Nessa Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 If it's done right, I've been waiting for a set like this for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Thanks for the heads-up, Crisp. I think all I have of this material is PLAYS and a few stray tracks on a couple of anthologies... I'll definitely want to pick this one up when it comes out.

JSngry Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Mosaic may do an LP version. It would be really cool if somebody someday would do a 10" LP series - on 10" LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Since Verve sat on this material for much too long, the best way to listen to the music so far was this double CD from Spain's Definitive label that came out under Bob Brookmeyer's name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm with Chuck here... stood away from the Brookmeyer 2CD set for years, hoping someday the "real" thing would be available! Would be great to have a good reissue of these "Interpretations" albums, finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm away from my collection right now (arg!), so I can't check this quickly, but this doesn't repeat anything from the Mosaic Getz/Raney set does it? And how about the Verve-issued 3-disc Getz set "East of the Sun: The West Coast Sessions"? Seems to me that had some of the early quintet material, didn't it? gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelz777 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I think "East of the Sun: The West Coast Sessions" was made up of: -West Coast Jazz -The Steamer -Award Winner -and part of Stan Getz And The Cool Sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 It should include everyhing up to the East of the Sun set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 It should include everyhing up to the East of the Sun set. And it might Duplicate the material from "Stan Getz Plays", I assume? That's a Raney quintet date there (the CD bonus session with Jimmy Rowles is a quartet if memory serves me right). I've never heard the Interpretations material so far! The first of the West Coast albums/sessions was w/quintet, wasn't it? "Jazz West Coast", listed above by J.A.W. - so this might be duplicated, after all... but would it all fit onto just three discs? Or will they skip that as it's out as part of another fine set anyway? I'd hope they'll skip, but I'll want this new one anyway! Won't beat the Roost 3CD set, I guess, but I'm always in for a surprise of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't beat the Roost 3CD set, I guess, but I'm always in for a surprise of course! The new set will contain the 1952-1955 studio Clef/Norgran quintet sessions, so I guess the 12"/30cm LPs Stan Getz Plays (two 1952 quintet sessions), More West Coast Jazz (three 1953 quintet sessions) and Stan Getz '56 (more material from those three 1953 quintet sessions) and the three Interpretations albums with quintet dates from 1953 and 1954 will be included. I have no idea what the exact 1955 cut-off date will be; perhaps Chuck is right and they will stop where East of the Sun begins, leaving out West Coast Jazz, although Michel Ruppli's Clef/Norgran/Verve discography doesn't list any other 1955 Getz quintet dates, which could mean that West Coast Jazz *will* be included. I don't think Universal/Hip-O will leave out the 1952 Clef quintet session with Jimmy Raney because it was issued years ago on a long OOP and hard-to-get Mosaic.

mikeweil Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 So the material on this 3-CD set will not be included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 They can fill 3 cds before they reach those sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 So the material on this 3-CD set will not be included? As I said in my last post the 1955 West Coast Jazz date from that set might be included in the new set, as it's the only Getz quintet session from 1955 and the new set will cover 1952-1955.

king ubu Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I don't think Universal/Hip-O will leave out the 1952 Clef quintet session with Jimmy Raney because it was issued years ago on a long OOP and hard-to-get Mosaic. I didn't talk of that Mosaic but of the Verve CD which is still readily available... but in the end I won't be bothered too much by some duplications and will be happy to get an official release of the Interpretations albums!

To me, that "Plays" material never quite reaches the same heights as the Haig quartets and Raney sessions for Roost do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Getz made studio quintet recordings for Clef and Norgran between December 1952 and August 1955 and the title of the upcoming Universal/Hip-O set will be Quintets: The Clef and Norgran Studio Albums, so I think it's very likely that it will contain all those dates, including the ones that have already been issued on CD. The last studio quintet recording Getz made for Norgran is the West Coast Jazz session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Many thanks for the thoughtful responses to my query. Sounds like there may be some duplication at either end of the set for those of us with both the Mosaic and the East of the Sun sets. I'll probably wait to see the details before I spring for this one, though those 53-54 things are enticing. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 The set is no longer listed on Hip-O's home page, at least I can't find it on their site - or on any other internet store site, for that matter. (edit) I just heard that the set has been delayed until January 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January's not too long to wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
