JSngry Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Has any of this been booted? Pre-ordered anyway, just wondering. I hope Prez talks a lot. Quote
John L Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Wow! What a surprise. I have never heard this. Quote
king ubu Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Great news! And no, to my knowledge, no Boston material was part of the "usual" boots! Quote
John L Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Great news! And no, to my knowledge, no Boston material was part of the "usual" boots! The recent Storyville "100 Years-Forever Young" included tracks from a December, 1953 Boston date, but that is with Gildo Mahones on piano, not Horace Silver. Quote
AllenLowe Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 from what I have heard, 1950 was a good year for Prez, based on some other live shots; I just hope Uptown has gotten their sound issues corrected. Quote

Dan Gould Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Bob @ Uptown mentioned this to me as one that was in the hopper, I will definitely be picking it up. Wish I could say the other two that were also in the production process but I guess y'all will just have to wait. Quote

Tom 1960 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Someone mentioned to me recently about a big upcoming Uptown release, but declined to offer up any info. I guess the cat is out of the bag now! Let me add since July 16 is my birthday, this would make a great birthday present! Edited May 14, 2013 by Tom 1960 Quote
AllenLowe Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 well, the one he NEEDS to put out is the Jaki Byard. Quote
