felser Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Nice. Especially love that Curson. Bill Barron alert on that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Excellent! I wonder why these aren't yet showing up on CD Japan. I'd have placed a pre-order. Patience ... The whole Marte Röling series should see reissue! And don't forget the tote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Whoa. I just checked Muzak's site. Scroll down to see an upcoming list of reissues (in Japanese). And with the help of Google Translate, it looks like we'll be seeing these titles this summer: May 26, 2021 MZCB 1434 • Charles Tolliver: The Ringer MZCB 1435 • John Tchicai: Cadentia Nova Danica MZCB 1436 • Stanley Cowell: Brilliant Circles June 23, 2021 MZCB 1437 • Dave Burrell: High MZCB 1438 • Noah Howard: The Black Ark MZCB 1439 • Art Ensemble of Chicago: The Spiritual July 21, 2021 MZCB 1440 • Andrew Hill: Spiral MZCB 1441 • Dudu Pukwana: Diamond Express MZCB 1442 • Jym Young’s San Francisco Avantgarde: Puzzle Box MZCB 1443/4 • Anthony Braxton: The Freedom Years (2 CD) I'd never even heard of Jym Young: 43 minutes ago, Late said: And don't forget the tote!

According to discogs, it’s only been on CD twice (is that right?)... I have the 1995 German Black Lion CD, and despite the material being amazing, the mix and/or mastering is just horrid. A buddy burned me a copy of his LP (and it’s better) — but I’ve always wondered if the 1994 Japanese CD issue was any better. If this is a substantial upgrade, I’d be very interested — but I’ll be waiting for some first feedback before I drop any dime on a new copy.

Not every sessions got recorded well or mixed well. Those, we just have to live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those, we just have to live with. Yeah, but of all the dates to have been recorded THAT sub-substantially. Not expecting miracles, but something decidedly “noticeably better” might be worth it, maybe (depending on the price-point). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Are these legit? I see the series that did Dogon, NTU, Under The Sun, Porto Novo, and Hamba Kahle advertised below them, and I'm nearly certain those are bootlegs. Is this is the same label?

Rabshakeh Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 That may just be an advert. I think that the Japanese just says something like "recommended products for this topic:". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) But will they reissue/issue the mysterious Rod Levitt Orchestra album 'Dynamic Sound Patterns' from the Marte Rolling series, that's the big question for me...

But I'd like the Marte Rolling cover just to complete the set. Just checked Discogs and it appears two copies of that edition of the LP sold last year, none beforehand. I'd read previously that it had never been printed, ho hum. That'll teach me not to update my wantlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're legit as far as I know. Manufactured in Taiwan for the Japanese market. The mini-LP jackets aren't as thick as most Japanese mini-LP's. The remastering, in my experience, is good to excellent.

I don't know, however, where the transfers come from (original tapes, etc.) Muzak has been releasing Black Lion titles in Japan. They seem legit. I own some (off the top of my head: Monk's The London Collection, Johnny Griffin's Hush-A-Bye, and Lee Konitz's Storyville material), and sound quality has been amazing. I'm not saying that Brilliant Circles will sound amazing, but it will probably sound as good as can be attained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) I have those Muzak as well as Griffin, Webster, Gordon, Simms/Brookmeyer, Bud Powell, and Jackie and Roy. All sound superb! Edited April 26, 2021 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here - I checked CD Japan & HMV Japan last night & no mention on either site - from my experience CD Japan tends to lag with certain releases - they just suddenly appear on the day of release I would really go for (akin to the Mosaic wish list) a box set (CD &/or vinyl) of the complete Roling covers - they are my no 1 fav jazz LP covers - i'm sure it will eventually happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read bad things about the sound quality of the Dogon A.D. reissue but that might be an exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
