bebopbob Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Just picked up the following CDs from the Warner Bros. Jazz Masters series Ornette Coleman - Ornette! Bill Evans - You Must Believe In Spring Erroll Garner - The Greatest Garner. Well mastered, nicely packaged discs with additional tracks. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a new reissue program from Atlantic-Warner Would love to see the following released on this series: Shorty Rogers and His Giants - The Swingin' Mr. Rogers The Modern Jazz Quartet - Plays George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess The Modern Jazz Quartet - Live at the Lighthouse Charles Bell and the Contemporary Jazz Quartet David Fathead Newman - Ray Charles Presents Milt Jackson - Ballads and Blues (available on Collectables with one tune omitted) Shorty Rogers - Way Up There (also available on Collectables with one tune omitted) While Ornette! was previously issued on a 2LP/1CD Collectable, its reissue in this series may bring to light other complete Atlantic LPs that had only been available in abridged form on Collectables with one or more pieces omitted from the orginal LP as a result of time limitations on the CD.

BruceH Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Good news this. I like your suggestions for further installments in the series, particularly the Shorty Rogers. I was just listening to some Rogers yesterday...would love to get some more! Quote
Muskrat Ramble Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 I'd certainly like to see the rest of the classic Ornette material released. Ornette on Tenor, for instance, is only available as an import atm, afaik. Quote
brownie Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Muskrat, the full Ornette Coleman Atlantic recordings output is available on the 'Beauty Is a Rare Thing' 6CD box from Rhino/Atlantic. Quote
J.A.W. Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 AllDirect.com CDUniverse As far as I know it's no longer available from Deep Discount. Quote
Eric Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 There is also a Warne Marsh CD in this series that is excellent. Eric Quote
undergroundagent Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 I recently bought the Fathead Newman disc, and it's terrific. As Harold_Z observed, this session is a classic!!! Quote
J.A.W. Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) There is also a Warne Marsh CD in this series that is excellent. Eric Which Warne Marsh are you referring to, the one with Lee Konitz or his Atlantic date without Konitz? I haven't seen either in this series. Edited February 5, 2004 by J.A.W. Quote
couw Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Christlieb/Marsh Quintet - Apogee I'm listening to it at this very moment Quote
bebopbob Posted February 5, 2004 Author Report Posted February 5, 2004 Is the Fathead Newman CD availlable in the US? Quote
Muskrat Ramble Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) Muskrat, the full Ornette Coleman Atlantic recordings output is available on the 'Beauty Is a Rare Thing' 6CD box from Rhino/Atlantic. I know, but I've been buying the discs individually. I normally avoid jazz box sets unless there's a big monetary savings or lots of significant tracks unavailable elsewhere. Just as importantly, I like discs with the original cover art and liners, original track order, etc., and it's fun to discover an artist's work over time instead of getting a big pile o' music all at once, imo. Since Rhino will apparently be reissuing Twins in March (at least in Europe), that means almost all the material will now be available on single discs. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up.

jazzbo Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 I think the Genius Presenting the Fathead was available in the two cd/four lp set that 32jazz had out of four Newman Atlantics. Quote
couw Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 are some of these Europe only then??? why? Quote
Muskrat Ramble Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) I don't know, but Twins currently appears to be available in the UK and should be soon in Germany. Seems to be listed as import-only in the US atm. It's not even listed on Rhino's site, afaik. Edited February 5, 2004 by Muskrat Ramble Quote
JSngry Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 (edited) Christlieb/Marsh Quintet - Apogee I'm listening to it at this very moment I'm bringing it in from the mailbox at this very moment. Preordered it from CDU thru Mr. Lankin's site for $8.39. 3 bonus cuts! Edited February 6, 2004 by JSngry Quote

mikeweil Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 I suggest those among us who want to get them from Zweitausendeins better rush out - I was in the Frankfurt shop today, they had only half of them, the others were sold out already with no plans to get them again ... I ordered the rest from the website, where they are still listed. Quote
Saint Vitus Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 Are these the imports of European digipaks or did Rhino do the repackaging and put them in jewel cases? [i'm talking about the recent batch of remasters released on the 3rd: Apogee, You Must Believe in Spring, The Greatest Garner, Ornette! etc.] Not that I care ... I just put my order in at CDUniverse and will be happy to have them in any shape. However, this reissue business is killing me, I must say. This time around 4 of the 7 CDs (the Bill Evans and the 3 Ellington Columbias) I ordered were for the bonus tracks only. Not even 10 years into the life as a serious jazz listener/collector, already this is happening all too often. I can only imagine how it is like for those of you who have been at this for far longer than I have. -_- Quote
mikeweil Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 The ones I saw are all digipaks made in the EU. You're right about the reissue business: seems it is alway new guys running this business who have no idea what generations of reissue producers before them have been doing. Same goes for classical reissues. It's a mess! My suggestion is to part with older issues, unless they sound better. Quote
couw Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 The ones I saw are all digipaks made in the EU. 2001 sent me regular jewel cases Quote
tjobbe Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 The ones I saw are all digipaks made in the EU. 2001 sent me regular jewel cases m too... cheers, Tjobbe Quote
king ubu Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 I see them in stores in jewel cases, too. ubu Quote

The problem with parting with older issues is oftentimes you cannot determine clearly which sounds better. They just sound different with each having its idiosyncratic merits and faults. Of course, in the end, you don't want to keep duplicates and end up selling (or giving away) one ... but funny how you keep missing certain nuances from the one you got rid of after that. Quote
mikeweil Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 The ones I saw are all digipaks made in the EU. I have to correct myself here: The Zweitausendeins shop only had CDs from earlier reissue series in stcok, which were digipacks, but the new ones they sent by mail were all jewel cases, made in Germany. Remastering sounds very good and natural, very close to the Lps I have. I'll get me more of these. Quote
