Christiern Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 According to their website, new releases from Storyville Records are coming out soon. And they´re going to relaunch the Masters of Jazz series: 12 new CDs, 6 to be released on May. No idea of what will come out, but the previous volumes on these series combine very rare sessions with others easily available elsewhere. A mixed bag. Clark Terry, Sidney Bechet, Johnny Hodges are 3 of them. Quote
EKE BBB Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) ... And they´re going to relaunch the Masters of Jazz series: 12 new CDs, 6 to be released on May... Clark Terry, Sidney Bechet, Johnny Hodges are 3 of them. Thanks for your input, Chris. Wasn´t there already a Bechet (and a Hodges) volume in the previous Masters of Jazz series? Hodges (Master of Jazz vol.9) Bechet (Master of Jazz vol.4) Edited April 17, 2006 by EKE BBB Quote
Jazztropic Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I sent an email to Storyville and was told the JazzMaster sessions would re-release but with added tracks.Looking forward to Hodges.They said it would come out in the fall. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 If they are reissuing the series with extra tracks added to the existing titles, I'll be pissed. Quote
Christiern Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 To find out, Chuck, check your e-mail. Quote

RDK Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Any recommendations on the "best" Duke Treasury shows? Quote
EKE BBB Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Posted May 9, 2007 I had missed this one: Louis Armstrong in Scandinavia, vol. 1-4 Since I don't have the individual discs (only 3 volumes were released, right?), this 4 CD box is officially placed in my wish list! Quote

brownie Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Looks like Storyville is recycling their live recordings from Copenhagen. All four 'new' releases have been out on Storyville before! Quote
EKE BBB Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Posted August 16, 2007 Looks like Storyville is recycling their live recordings from Copenhagen. All four 'new' releases have been out on Storyville before! So sad if this is their new policy! Anyway, regarding the Warne Marsh disc, they claim that ... This CD comprises tracks he recorded in Copenhagen on April 21 1980 with the Kenny Drew Trio for a Danish radio broadcast and is the first authorised release of this music. Quote
brownie Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 That Warne Marsh in Copenhagen was issued by Storyville a few yars ago under this guise (same content): Quote
EKE BBB Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Posted August 16, 2007 That Warne Marsh in Copenhagen was issued by Storyville a few yars ago under this guise (same content): So, theirs was an unauthorised release? Quote
brownie Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Wouldn't that be ironic The same Warne Marsh material was first issued in Japan by Venus records on the CD 'Ornithology' which included one additional tune 'Of Love and Things', a Marsh composition, that is not in either of the Storyville releases! Quote
Christiern Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 That would explain why I was overcome with dèjá vu while writing the Bing/Louis notes. I thought those dizzy spells I experienced were a result of my rage over the fact that Bing never spent a day repairing potholes in Tacoma--didn't even donate a penny to the re-paving drive! Quote
EKE BBB Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Posted October 3, 2007 Storyville sale at Jazz Loft ($ 7.97 & 12.47 per disc) Expires Sunday, October 7th. Good hunt! Quote

Dave Garrett Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 Storyville sale at Jazz Loft ($ 7.97 & 12.47 per disc) Expires Sunday, October 7th. Good hunt!

brownie Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 A treat for fans of Ben Webster! Dig Ben Quote
EKE BBB Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks for the info, brownie. Has anyone cared to compare the tracklist from this box set with what was previously available from Storyville and/or other labels? Quote
brownie Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks for the info, brownie. Has anyone cared to compare the tracklist from this box set with what was previously available from Storyville and/or other labels? Haven't tackled this yet. Since Storyville does not give much details, the task looks a bit difficult at the present. Disc 8 looks like the previously issued 'No Fool, No Fun' Quote
EKE BBB Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 Yep, I'm afraid this looks like their new "recycling our catalogue" policy again (as with the Duke Box). Quote
Swinging Swede Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 That sucks. Storyville used to have new interesting stuff coming out every month. Where's the Complete Ellington at Cotton Club 1938 that was promised? New D.E.T.S. volumes? New Ellington stockpile recordings (also promised)? I suspect they don't have the people to pull it off any longer, and have to recycle old stuff instead. Sad. Anyway, Storyville's text about the Webster box starts with this line: "More than 35 years after his death Ben Webster’s music remains fresh, contemporary and original" More than 35 years? Ben Webster died in September 1973. Quote
