felser Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Still can't understand why they haven't redone the Roland Kirk box. Even a recent Andorran set totally ignored the hard to find Emarcy albums. I'd probably be best off getting the vinyl at this point... That's the one I've also been waiting for. Andorran's can't do it because of the 1962 P.D.cutoff, I think. Quote
colinmce Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Good point. Didn't consider that. There's also that totally frustrating twofer that pairs the widely available, twice reissued Domino with the never-reissued Reeds & Deeds. Why in Gods name didn't they use Gifts & Messages instead?? But yeah, I should just get the vinyl. Quote
king ubu Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 No it was a stage work with kids. Supposedly his most famous thing. La Strada, maybe? Don't recall. Okay, I see ... not sure what's his most famous, but I'v heard some orchestral stuff that's not from film scores and found it pretty much okay, though on the more pleasant side. But the march he wrote for the closing scene of "Otto e mezzo" has him firmly established in my own private cabinet of gods, that's for sure! Quote
crisp Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Had my hopes up when I saw this thread revived. I keep checking Amazon.it for Kirk, Ella & Duke at the Cote D'Azure, Dinah Washington on Mercury and whatever others they may come up with, but nothing for a while now. The Hampton/Peterson would be a good one for the series too. Re the Evans, I have it on the way right now. It's €29.90 at Amazon.it. I'm sure it's the individual OJC releases boxed up, not the complete box, but I don't know if the former had the alternates as bonus tracks. Shouldn't be hard to check. I think the more recent OJC remasterings had even more alternates. Quote
ShowsOn Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Re the Evans, I have it on the way right now. It's €29.90 at Amazon.it.

I think the more recent OJC remasterings had even more alternates. I can't find a full track listing for the Evans set anywhere, so I can't figure out if it has alternate takes or if it is just the plain albums as originally issued. The OJC CDs do have some alternates and sometimes bonus tracks recorded at the same session(s) that couldn't fit on an LP. Quote
colinmce Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Let us know. My assumption, however, would be that they're just straight copies of the OJC CDs and thus would have the bonus tracks. Quote
David Ayers Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Here's your Evans track list. http://www.universalmusic.it/jazz/artista/discografia/?ccidp=30434360259 Oh. I see it doesn't display properly... Quote
crisp Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Let us know. My assumption, however, would be that they're just straight copies of the OJC CDs and thus would have the bonus tracks. I'm assuming the same because of the back covers of the "new" box posted on Amazon Italy: they depict the covers of the old OJC CDs. Quote
crisp Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 Bonus tracks on the Italian Bill Evans set as follows: New Jazz Conceptions No Cover No Minimum (Take 1) 8:09 Bill Evans and Don Elliott No bonus tracks Everybody Digs Some Other Time 6:09 On Green Dolphin Street No bonus tracks (although there is one alternate of Woody N You) Portrait in Jazz Autumn Leaves (Mono) 5:23 Blue in Green (Take 2) 4:29 Explorations Beautiful Love (Take 1) 5:05 The Boy Next Door 5:06 Sunday at the Village Vanguard Gloria's Step (Take 3) 6:48 Alice in Wonderland (Take 1) 6:57 All of You (Take 3) 8:00 Jade Visions (Take 1) 4:06 Waltz for Debby Waltz for Debby (Take 1) 6:46 Detour Ahead (Take 1) 7:12 My Romance (Take 2) 7:13 I Loves You Porgy 5:57 How My Heart Sings In Your Own Sweet Way (Take 2) 5:50 Moon Beams No bonus tracks Interplay I'll Never Smile Again (Take 6) 6:30 Loose Blues No bonus tracks (although there is an alternate of Loose Blues 5:53) Solo Sessions Vol 1 & 2 No bonus tracks At Shelley's Manne Hole All The Things You Are 8:44 So -- anything missing that's on the big box?

king ubu Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 So this is the old BN set with the two Elektras added - those two were part of the lone batch of Elektrreissues BN did, c. 2000. Quote
felser Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Still hoping for a Roland Kirk Mercury box from them. Quote
Ed S Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Is "Limbo" what I know as "the Power of Three"? Quote
Fer Urbina Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Posted February 3, 2015 Is "Limbo" what I know as "the Power of Three"? Yep. My mistake, thanks! Quote
king ubu Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Where does Owl belong these days? They were with Verve/PolyGram/Universal for a while ... asking because there'd been another Petrucciani album that belongs with his better ones (those include the Elektras and pretty few of the BNs, most of them are bad to okay-ish - I don't ever listen to the ones with synths and even the pairing with Abercrombie is of pretty small appeal, so there's the Ellington solo disc, "Power of Three" and the first one, "Pianism").

xybert Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Ha ha. At a glance it doesn't include all of his GRP albums (no Paint the World, for one... no live Akoustic band). Jesus guys this had the potential to be the next Beauty is a Rare Thing level event and they totally squandered the opportunity. When oh when will Corea's GRP material be given the proper care and reverence that it deserves!?! This stuff should be in the Smithsonian! /s Sigh, i actually love this period of Chick's career, more and more as each year goes by. Quote
felser Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I like the GRP acoustic stuff OK but find the electric stuff unlistenable, even though I liked the 70's RTF recordings. Quote

Nice set, I'll keep mine then. Still hoping for the Roland Kirk box to be issued in this series. Quote
