Max Roach quintet on side A and Sonny Rollins trio on side B. 

This was in Graz in the 60´s.

Since there have been releases from ORF tapes for both Jimmy Guiffree trio in Graz 1961 and John Coltrane also in Graz 1961 on HatHut, maybe in future we could get this one on CD. Like the Coltrane material , it was former released on diverse bootleg labels.....

Would love to hear this finally speed corrected .... btw one of Jymie Merritt`s finest hours ....

I have that LP, and I don't recall it containing the now-legendary Freddie Hubbard "meltdown". Was it edited out, or what?

[JSngry]

Have any of the Hugh Masakela MGM/Uni LPs made it to CD?

Intrigued by this. I’d heard there are a couple. S there a YouTube clip for this particular one?

Thanks! Not suitable for family listening I guess.

Since the Impulse masters apparently are now lost, I suppose we might never see proper reissues of remaining titles from that label. I have not heard most of these, which I don't believe have been on CD:

Chico Hamilton 'Passin' Thru' (1963) (correction: on CD as part of a twofer) 

 

Chico Hamilton 'Chic Chic Chico' (1965)

 

Chico Hamilton 'El Chico' (1965) (correction: on CD as part of a twofer) 

 

Shirley Scott 'For Members Only' (1964) (correction: on CD as part of a twofer) 

 

Shirley Scott 'Great Scott' (1964) (correction: on CD as part of a twofer) 

 

Yusef Lateef 'Jazz' Round the World' (1964)

 

 

 

The Russian Jazz Quartet (1965)

 

Dannie Richmond '"In" Jazz for the Culture Set' (1965) 

 

Chico O'Farrill 'Nine Flags' (1966)

 

(Edit: Thanks, Niko! I forgot about that twofer reissue series...)

Two of those Chico Hamilton LPs have been reissued in that Impulse 2 on 1 series, one of the last great CD reissue series... But otherwise you're of course right... edit: and the Shirley Scott albums, too

This one is nice and has a welcome sideman appearance from Joe Farrell:

[mikeweil]

This Impulse LP maybe another victim of the tape loss of the label. Melvin REhyne is on half ogf the tracks.

[Deadman]

A very moody, serene and underrated ECM guitar lp "Wintereisse" by Hajo Weber & Ulrich Ingenbold never made it to cd. 

[hopkins]

A very nice album never issued on CD.

Speaking of Jerome Richardson (in another thread), this pairing of him and Frank Wess is very enjoyable. It has the classic rhythm section of several other Savoy sessions. Should definitely be in the flute recommendations thread as well. 

[mikeweil]

Strange that this never was on CD. Even the SJL series did not include this. It was included on two cheapo multi-album boxes on AVID and Enlightenment that focus either on Wess or Richardson.

Different cover:

It looks like an interesting one, although I've never been all that into Frank Wess' playing.

Here's one track from the album, not necessarily the best but pleasant enough :

 

 

(BTW, the album's in mono )
