Ken Dryden Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Nice stuff, they both arrived recently. One can only imagine what Jim Wilkie's tape archive must be like from the days of the Penthouse broadcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Clearly the agreement was between Wilkie and Zev as he doesn't seem to be putting these out on Resonance anymore. I wonder if he's even connected to the label nowadays. He's now got Jazz Detective plus he's worked with Cory Weeds on the Reel to Real label and of course some connection with BN.

Ken Dryden Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) One two CD set has ten tracks, the other one has nine. The final track of the second CD in both sets is faded out.

hbbfam Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 That seems like a lot of music to crowd onto 2 LPs. The Times article said 2.5 hr of music (total). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 There is not two and half hours in either set. Here's the Discogs link I created for the 1963-1964 set: https://www.discogs.com/release/24945286-Ahmad-Jamal-Emerald-City-Nights-Live-At-The-Penthouse-1963-1964 The link for the 1965-1966 set: https://www.discogs.com/release/24945652-Ahmad-Jamal-Emerald-City-Nights-Live-At-The-Penthouse-1965-1966 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbbfam Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Wow, the 63-64 would almost fit on one CD, the 65-66 easily on 1 CD. I thing the NYT article implied that there was 2.5 total combining both releases, but obviously that was a bit of an exaggeration. Thanks for the details. Can't wait to get them.

Adam Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Still working with Resonance.

mikeweil Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Quote Next year we’re gonna be looking at releasing previously unreleased recordings by the legendary jazz vibraphonist Cal Tjader, and that will be a two-CD/three-LP set. Yeah!!! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 I'm very interested in this but I'm confused. I found a photo that shows a 3rd double CD set but I can't find any info - any where about the 3rd set. Why isn't it being released with the other two? Anybody got any info? thanks.

felser Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 3 different rhythm sections on the 65/66 set, and I prefer the repertoire on it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Thanks all! Lossless downloads on Qobuz are $10.99 for the first and $9.99 for the second. This may be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
