Jazzmatazz update:

NEW Count Basie - TBD - TBD CDs (Mosaic)

— the 1952-57 Mercury, Clef and Verve recordings

Wow--didn't know that one was on the drawing board. I have a fair amount of that material, but I'm sure I'll hitch a ride down the Mosaic highway yet again...

Ah, one of the advantages of being relatively new to the music: other than April in Paris, I don't have any. If that's an advantage...

Checked last night & I have only 4 CDs:

APRIL IN PARIS

AT NEWPORT

KING OF SWING

W/JOE WILLIAMS

...so I guess there's a lot I don't have (maybe even more if they don't include the Newport concert--will this set be all recordings or just studio?)

Not for your (or my) pocketbook. <_<

FYI:

The Verve Basie Mosaic will consist on 7 discs, with six previously unissued alternates and one selection that was never issued in any form.

Only studio dates.

Only big band dates, except for a bunch of sextet sides.

(information provided by Chris Albertson on a recent AAJBB thread)

And Chris Albertson will be writting the liner notes for this set. :tup:tup:tup

Not sure when the date appeared, but the Andrew Hill Select has a projected released date (on Jazzmatazz). Yeah!!!

Andrew Hill - Mosaic Select (Mosaic) Sept, 2005

— previously unreleased 1967-1970 Blue Note sessions

(Not that I'm counting on it by next Sept. -- but "sometime in late 2005" seems pretty reasonable. :):):) )

That should be a hell of a set!

I hope that they reissue Cal Tjader's "Hip Vibrations" album, as Chris's notes for that are great.

Yeah, it's about time the remaing non-CD Verve Tjaders come out - if only as LPRs or rather digipacks and (regrettably) without additional material.

These are the Verve Tjaders not yet on US CD:

Verve V6-8419 - In A Latin Bag

Verve V6-8459 - Saturday Night, Sunday Night At The Blackhawk

Verve V6-8585 - Warm Wave

Verve V6-8671 - Along Comes Cal

Verve V6-8730 - Hip Vibrations

Verve V6-8769 - The Prophet

(A few tracks from these were on cimpilations and "The Prophet" was on Japanese CD.)

That Basie set is great news! I was close to buying the Ocium CDs ......

There won't be any alternates, Mike, I'm sure of that. But the albums would be great to have. Thanks for the list.

There is a very strong case for "Hip Vibrations", because it is not only a fine Tjader collection, but also is a great straight-ahead jazz album, with a superb cast of major musicians and top-notch arrangements, mainly by Benny Golson. It wears well, too - I had the LP when it first appeared, and I have heard it countless times.

If the old Verve bulletin board still existed, I could lobby there for its reappearance to the three or four people who used to hang out there. :D

By the way, the current Verve website's "record player" still makes my computer crash!

Thanks for the update, Fran. :tup

And welcome on board! Hope you stick around here: it´d great to have some more old-timers at organissimo (as opposed to BlueNoters or RatRacers ... ;) )

Though some of this upcoming releases have been discussed in previous threads, I thought it would be interesting to resume the up-to-date situation (according to Jazzmatazz):

— includes alternate takes and some previously unreleased material

Tal Farlow - The Complete Verve Tal Farlow Sessions - 7 CDs (Mosaic) June 30

Art Farmer/Benny Golson - The Complete Argo/Mercury Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet Sessions - 7 CDs (Mosaic) Fall

— will include 12 LPs recorded from 1960-62:

— The Jazztet: "Meet the Jazztet", "Big City Sounds", "And John Lewis", "At Birdhouse", "Here and Now", "Another Git Together"

— Art Farmer: "Art", "Perception", "List to Art Farmer and the Orchestra"

— Benny Golson: "Turning Point", "Free", "Take a Number From 1 To 10"

Freddie Slack - Mosaic Select - 3 CDs (Mosaic)

Benny Goodman - Columbia Records - n CDs (Mosaic) — time period TBD

In addition There is the Johnny Richards set which is due early (?) next year cosisting of Capitol and Roulette recordings including the wild "The Rites Of Diablo"

There won't be any alternates, Mike, I'm sure of that.

I wonder what makes you so sure: My discographical research brought up:

  • 2 unissued tunes recorded at the sessions for Saturday Night, Sunday Night At The Blackhawk
  • 4 unissued tunes/takes from the sessions for Soul Sauce
  • 4 unissued tunes/takes from the sessions forSoul Bird

not counting those already issued on Verve CDs.
