why have i been on the fence for so long on the akiyoshi select? i need ("need") this set, don't i?

Ricky Lawson...

thanks for merging the two threads. i should have known news of this wouldn't have slipped by anyone here, but i'm surprised at the lead time its been given. at any rate, i myself and finicky about my later period coltrane (only within the last couple years have i finally been able to really access it), but the cavalcade of percussionists has me intrigued.

more meh for me. until it's gone at which point in time i'll suddenly develop a pine for female vocal radio broadcasts. i can't really imagine a very decent depth of fidelity, either. wonder who was in the orchestra(s)...

i suck. mods; please delete this...

anyone seen this....? set for a 9/24 release. Offering: Live At Temple University documents a legendary concert by John Coltrane at Temple University in his hometown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 11, 1966, six weeks after his fortieth birthday and nine months before his untimely death. Offering, available on September 23, 2014 in a deluxe format 2-CD digi-pak, incorporates a look that is contiguous with the graphic identity of Impulse! Records, Coltrane s exclusive label from 1961 until the end of his life. This is the first officially sanctioned release of an undiscovered, complete Coltrane performance since 2005. It captures Coltrane in exemplary form, navigating the language he had developed during the last phase of his musical path with passion and pellucid logic. Operating at equivalent levels of invention and energy are three members of his working quintet of one year's standing his wife, Alice Coltrane, on piano; Pharoah Sanders on reeds and flute; and Rashied Ali on drums. Offering is emblematic of the efflorescent energies and radical ideas that Coltrane himself had much to do with bringing forth during the seven years after 1960, when he left the employ of Miles Davis to pursue his vision as a leader. There are versions of Coltrane's 1960 hits Naima and My Favorite Things, a transformational reworking of the 1964 ballad Crescent, a spirit-raising rendering of Leo, which he had recorded on several previous occasions during 1966, and the hymnal Offering, which he would record on a February 15, 1967 studio session that Impulse! would release during the 90s as Spiritual Offering. On Offering, Resonance Records achieves the highest possible audio quality, using direct transfers of original master reels from a location recording by Temple s WRTI-FM, remastered at 96kHz/24 bit, that were tracked down by Coltrane scholar Yasuhiro Fujioka. The immense life-force that animates the proceedings on this November 1966 evening in Philadelphia belies the declining state of Coltrane s health. It is still difficult to grasp and to accept that he was firmly in the grip of the liver cancer that would still his voice on July 17, 1967. As co-producer Ashley Kahn states in his liner notes, Coltrane was pointing the way forward for generations of players to come, pushing the music to exhilarating, spiritual heights that caught most by surprise. In 1966, that wasn't what jazz performances were about,not yet. Recorded November 11, 1966 Mitten Hall, Temple University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Featured Artists: John Coltrane soprano & tenor saxophones, flute & vocals Pharoah Sanders tenor saxophone & piccolo Alice Coltrane piano Sonny Johnson bass Rashied Ali drums Additional musicians include: Steve Knoblauch, Arnold Joyner alto saxophone Umar Ali, Algie DeWitt, Robert Kenyatta percussion Resonance Records, which is a 501 ©(3) non-profit foundation, will contribute a portion from every sale to the John Coltrane House, an organization devoted to the preservation of Coltrane s former home in Dix Hills, New York.

that would require some paperwork that i'll bet they're not up for...

oh - he has? i've missed that. obviously i'm not the only one whose mind it crossed!

as you probably do, lon, i own every season and seem to watch the series up to this season about twice a year. last and this season seem to find weiner going further and further out. in both good and odd ways. i mean, remember ken cosgrove's eye patch tap dance? when that went down it struck me as being very 'twin peaks'. not that i'm complaning, just saying. i sometimes wonder if the swan song of the series will be don throwing himself off the building and floating down slow mo a la the opening montage... and then there's michael ginsberg's nipple removal gift to peggy... http://www.vulture.com/2014/05/psychiatrist-analyzes-mad-mens-ginsberg.html

I know funny and *that* is funny indeed...

i'm with you. the only thing i need more of: space....

much as i love the grant green titles, i have to draw the line. after all, they're all (save 'matador') on the complete quartets two disc set. i'm in for 'matador', 'two bones', 'tippin the scales' (that cover is awful...), and, strangely enough, 'drums around the corner'. everything else i already have. it's a shame 'remembering grant green' isn't in this batch. it was my first ever japanese blue note some decades ago that i have a soft spot for.

very strange. my copy, which i purchased in vienna and is on rhino handmade (made in germany) has no such drop out or anomoly at all....

yep! that one caught my eye. as did "k.b. blues", and "two bones". the material on sonny clark's "blues in the night" been issued (on an sbm?) under the title "standards" in north america, right? that may be a nice upgrade. wonder which artwork they'll choose...

the consensus has been reached. the next installment in this series drops on june 25th. have a look, but i see precious little material not previously issued; http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/search/keyword_Uccq5/target_SEARCH/type_sr/

that's right. but be warned: once you hear one... 'the prime element'...?

just a note that i'm giving good time to the elivin jones titles in this series tonight. earlier was 'genesis' and now 'poly-currents' is playing. these titles sound superb...

i had a long reply typed out and a connectivity issued wiped it out.... for the time being, i believe these two installments are all we have. it's universal's first foray into the blue note catalog so i would imagine that they're in consensus gathering mode about how to proceed, if at all. the past few years have been a somewhat modern-day golden era in reissues. in respose to a soft market, labels have increased availability of back catalog and simultaneously slashed prices approximately in half. i think it'll be interesting to see if this business model is maintained. a high flying friend once intoduced me to label staff at jvc and sony. i made a point to ask each how important foreign/non-japanese sales were for each release or campaign. while they each agreed that foreign sales were 'important', each estimated them to represent no more than 5%.

it's never about distribution with ecm....

this is the best way to get it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CD-BACH-REWRITE-Orzechowski-Masecki-Adamus-Capella-Cracoviensis-/200970753651
