But it would be nice if Loren would NOT talk over the music, telling us the soloists when they've already been introduced. This certainly whets one's appetite for an issue. I hope the Ellington family/executors can come to a reasonable agreement and share Duke's genius once again. Quote
JSngry Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 I'll give even odds, better than evn, actually, that the voice-overs are to foil bootlegging. You can do that, or you can do the recurring momentary fades. Quote

You can do that, or you can do the recurring momentary fades. Expand Just out of sheer curiosity: There was a time in the pre-digital days when (put in an oversimplified manner) the sound restorer would individually tape off pops, crackles, scratches and other "out" sounds from a slooooow-running tape of the track to be restored and thus eliminate this foreign noise to the extent possible at all. Time-consuming but would this be possible today and with today#s technology with voice-overs too (if somebody wanted to go to that extreme trouble)? I've often wondered if something could be done about this sort of "foreign noise" in the case of basically interesting recordings where the announcer (or whoever ...) talks right into the tune/music.

gmonahan Posted July 7, 2019 Report Posted July 7, 2019 I was just listening and watching the presentation by Scott Wenzel on this set from the Mosaic Jazz Gazette, and he mentioned some of the Estates that wouldn't allow release: Benny Goodman first and foremost, but also Cab Calloway, Bunny Berigan, and Tommy Dorsey. Like many here, I continue to be flummoxed by these estates. Are they in abject poverty and think this would somehow put them on easy street? What kind of massive audience do they somehow imagine is out there? It's bizarre. gregmo Quote

gmonahan Posted July 7, 2019 Report Posted July 7, 2019 Toward the end, he also mentioned that there are a number of Goodman recordings with Lester Young. I don't find any of those in the "On the Air" 2-cd set of Savory recordings issued by Columbia. Also an entire concert of Django Reinhardt with Duke Ellington. There are a few bits of their post-war tour together in the massive JSP Reinhardt collection, but not much. Sigh. gregmo Quote
jazzbo Posted July 7, 2019 Report Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) The recordings with Pres and Benny are in the Masters of Jazz volumes of Charlie Christian and less completely on Drive Archives and in the Columbia box set of Christian. The concert of Django with Duke has been out on Music Masters (The Chicago Concerts). Edited July 7, 2019 by jazzbo Quote

The concert of Django with Duke has been out on Music Masters (The Chicago Concerts). Expand Thanks for the heads-up, Lon. It appears that the Musicmasters cds only include four tracks with Django. Those four are also on JSP's "Django on the Radio," CD-A, so I'm wondering if that's it, or whether Savory got more. Of course, your post begs another question. IF the Estates agreed to these releases (they must have agreed to the Columbia box release), why on earth would they ok those--especially the small label releases--and not this one?? Arg!!! gregmo Quote
medjuck Posted July 7, 2019 Report Posted July 7, 2019 The Prez/Christian/Goodmans were supposedly rehearsals and probably paid for by Columbia: hence they own them. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 22, 2019 Report Posted December 22, 2019 Today I wrapped up the Savory Collection Mosaic set I bought for my Dad for Xmas and will be giving to him later today when we do our joint family gift exchange. I know he's going to love it, and I know he'll spin the Waller sides first--I can still remember how joyous he was when I gave him a handful of Waller cds more than 20 years ago. Quote
Brad Posted December 22, 2019 Report Posted December 22, 2019 The Waller sides are great in this set. I’m sure he’ll love it. Quote
David Ayers Posted December 22, 2019 Report Posted December 22, 2019 Has anybody figured out how the Mosaic release maps on to the National Jazz Museum’s version? https://www.savoryjazz.org/ Quote
medjuck Posted December 23, 2019 Report Posted December 23, 2019 The Mosaic has at least one cd's worth of Basie/Pres that's not in the original ITunes release. (They're both from The Museum. ) Quote
romualdo Posted December 23, 2019 Report Posted December 23, 2019 17 Basie, 7 Joe Sullivan, 2 Stuff Smith, 4 Mildred Bailey & 1 Fats Waller title(s) in Mosaic set but not in downloads Also one Benny Carter (More Than You Know) plus one Fats Waller (I've Got A Pocketful Of Dreams) titles are longer in the Mosaic set - have been edited in the download versions. Quote
David Ayers Posted December 23, 2019 Report Posted December 23, 2019 Thanks, both. Looks like the streaming/dl releases could continue - maybe include material not on the Mosaic, if they can keep it up. Quote
John L Posted March 27, 2022 Report Posted March 27, 2022 I don't recall if this has been discussed but Loren Schoenberg has been quietly making more of the Savory collection available through broadcasts. Some of them are on Youtube. The broadcast below is particularly substantial, containing two utterly amazing jam tracks from 1938 with Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson, two fine tracks led by Bunny Berigan, and two of the tracks from the famous 1938 jam session with Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, and Fats Waller in MUCH better sound quality than any previous reissues. I downloaded the music from Youtube and cut out the spoken part. Very satisfying! Quote

Maybe Mosaic are planning on a second Savory box? I'm having difficulty downloading this as an MP3 - have been successful (with web based YouTube to MP3 Converters) in the past. Not sure why - keep getting network errors & it stops downloading. Maybe it's something to do with the length of the broadcast (1hr 21mins) Edited March 27, 2022 by romualdo Quote
