John Coltrane: Graz, 1962

[Late]

Is this the first authorized release of these tapes? Hat Hut issues its first Coltrane disc — I wouldn't have expected the label to put out Coltrane, but why not! I'm in.

[Misterioso]

Great, looking forward to this!

think of the delicious meals the band probably ate there which helped fuel what is im sure a typical firery performance

Gulasch (aka goulash) if fiery performances were required  ....

Use this as unashamed plug for very special meal/soup from Styria (=Austrian province with Graz as capital) ....

It seems that Graz in the 60´s had a great live scene. I remember the strange LP Max Roach and Sonny Rollins Graz 1963 (misdated, it is more possibly 1966), and the Jimmy Giuffree Trio live at Graz 1961 also on Hat Hut, which will be a present from my wife for my birthday (she saw it in the record store). So I´ll also be in for the Coltrane stuff of course.

From where is this available?

[jazzbo]

amazon.com has it but it shows 'unavialable' right now--you can sign up to be notified when it is available to order.

I wonder how much the sound will improve, I've owned one of the European gray market sets for some time...

That was my question too. The front cover notice —actually part of the cover art — of "license of original tapes" would seem to indicate something of significance. If the Giuffre Graz concert is any indication (that show was once deemed "unlistenable," but it turned out that the original tapes were in fine condition; the concert sounds great) then we may have reason to have high hopes. 

I've never owned a boot of this Coltrane show, so for me this is a no-brainer.

Just read that a second CD will come out in Spring 2020 with the rest of this concert.

if the cd is mastered half as good as that soup dish looks, the things'll be fine

[Misterioso]

Info says 24bit recording. No guarantee fora good sound but there is hope.

Wow, I didn't know they had any digital recordings from the 60's.

Haha, me neither. Must be the mastering then.

Thanks for the Squidco link. The samples sound really good. Squidco is a great business to support, too.

Part 2 is available now ... wanted to pick it up at the Swiss distributor's (which is in walking distance from my place), but they were closed that day last week ... hope to get it by Friday. I'm pretty impressed by what stubborn ol' Uehlinger has achieved with his new ezz-imprint, and I'm glad to be able to get the stuff in my hood (that distributor is specialised in classical music, and it's the only remaining "shop" I try and visit every month or so).

Awesome! Thanks for the headsup.

I’m in, but I still need to get volume 1.
