Pablo reissues

[jazztrain]

Previously discussed a bit here:

Many years ago, Concord had a promotion in which they asked about recommendations for reissues. I remember suggesting some of the Kamuca albums. Never happened.

I don't know who currently owns the masters, but I would like to see reissues of the three Richie Kamuca albums Concord released in the '70s: Richie, Drop Me Off In Harlem & Charlie.

I like the Sarah. . . and the Tarantino mastering sounds pretty darned good.

Wasn't the answer they were looking for, I guess. Maybe "Richie Kamuca Plays for Lovers" would have had a shot with their catalog department.

Thanks for this. It looks like they're all alternate takes. I'll have to think hard about this one.

Not really alternate takes, previously unreleased alternate versions. Different arranger, session, and personnel.

Were there pre OJC CD issues of some of the Montreux '77 titles, such as here? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Live-Montreux-77-Count-Basie-Big-Band-Pablo-/130972559558?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item1e7e92a8c6 I thought the OJC's were the first issued on CD.

Pre-ordered three of them a few days ago and just received mails telling me the estimated delivery date was postponed into early January ...

[king ubu]

Anyone has any idea what's going on with these? I've probably received ten re-scheduled delivery dates ... and funny enough I already DID get the Ellington disc (the prev. unissued track is rough around the edges but nice), that by now again is only to be released in late January:

I wish there would be a Zoot Sims Pablo box set -- like the Dexter Gordon set put out by Concord some years back. Some of the CDs sound a bit flat. Many of my favorite sax players sound a bit too sentimental in their later years. Zoot Sims seems to be an exception, and his Pablo recordings are some of his best.

[king ubu]

Oh, I'd love that idea! Even if it was just an italian "Complete Sims Pablo Albums" box - it's not PD yet, but I guess the existing remasterings would be fine, so not much work to be done (and they did Lee Konitz Milestone, too - not PD either).

Which Dexter Gordon set do you mean? I must have missed it.

Perhaps this:

Yes, that one.

Ah, thanks. That came up in a search I did but I thought it was from the pre-Concord OJC era. I'll add it to the list
