Rooster_Ties Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Saw this over on the Hoffman board, and was surprised it hadn't shown up here yet (at least not that I'd seen)... January 18, 2011 | 5:10 pm Like finding a few extra cookies at the bottom of the jar, Impulse Recordings has announced its upcoming four-CD set "First Impulse: The Creed Taylor Collection" will include three previously unreleased demos by John Coltrane.

golfcrazy1984 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for the heads up! I am so out of the loop with the new release and re-release market these days... I will be getting this Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I have some connections to get anyone on this board "scrapings from the bottom of the barrel" for a few bucks. Quote

Depends on which barrel you are talking about Creed Taylor gets a bad rap, but he put some great musicians in good settings. I'm thinking in particular of the Johnny Hodges with Billy Strayhorn and THE orchestra. Beautiful music. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 No complaints from me about Creed. Quote
bertrand Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 the songs were recorded and conducted by trumpeter and Coltrane friend Cal Massey. This actually piques my interest quite a bit. Bertrand. Quote
John L Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Sounds like the familiar John Coltrane on Impulse! marketing strategy. If you want three new demos, you have to purchase or repurchase 4 discs of other music. I will wait and download from .... somewhere. Edited January 21, 2011 by John L Quote

Annoying strategy indeed - I already bought that other Trane 4CD set to get the whole Village Gate 1965 set...But great news of course... though the turning up of the 1961 Newport set is even greater (will surely soon be bootlegged, but possibly in a wrong-speed version... because them bootleggers don't bother to check back in...)

EKE BBB Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I don't need more Coltrane.... really. Quote
John L Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I don't need more Coltrane.... really. But just wait until you hear these three new 15-minute live versions of My Favorite Things that were just turned up. Edited January 21, 2011 by John L Quote

But just wait until you hear these three new 15-minute live versions of My Favorite Things that were just turned up. Paraphrasing Martin Williams.... where's the melody? We should get back to the 78 rpm discs: three and a half minutes per song is enough. Solos of more than three choruses should be forbidden! Quote
Ken Dryden Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Coming soon: the unissued recordings of John Coltrane Singing in the Shower. Quote

Free For All Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Coming soon: the unissued recordings of John Coltrane Singing in the Shower. Giant Soaps? My Shining Shower? After the Drain? A Loofa Surpreme? Edited January 21, 2011 by Free For All Quote
king ubu Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Miles once did a Davidoff commercial... "Kind of ... Cool Water". (And Mingus did one for fish fingus.) There's also Lennie Tristano's "Descent into the Bathtub", a classic of that genre. Quote
Christiern Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I believe the Coltrane shower tapes were copped by Phil Schaap, who no-soaped a request for their release. He does, however, claim to have seven or eight 5-8-second snippets of Bird blowing Red Rodney's nose. Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) A Loofa Surpreme? Ok, I laughed. Edited January 21, 2011 by Aggie87 Quote
felser Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Creed Taylor gets a bad rap, but he put some great musicians in good settings. I'm thinking in particular of the Johnny Hodges with Billy Strayhorn and THE orchestra. Beautiful music. Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth, Freddie Hubbard - The Body and the Soul.

Christiern Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 The Young and the Restless The Bold and the Beautiful The scraps from the end of the reel The bottom line Quote
CJ Shearn Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I have some connections to get anyone on this board "scrapings from the bottom of the barrel" for a few bucks. For the whole set? Quote
bertrand Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 I certainly will not by the box, but hope the tracks are made available on iTunes or Amazon downloads. Bertrand. Quote

A Loofa Surpreme? As Gregory Peck replied to Norman Fell's joke during the filming of "Pork Chop Hill": "Whimsical, very whimsical."These "complete" sets can get ridiculous, like the World Broadcasting series of Transcriptions of Duke Ellington that not only featured every incomplete track, but even 3 and 4 second breakdowns.
