Guest Chaney Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 I though some might find this e-mail from DOWNTOWN MUSIC GALLERY of interest. The LONG AWAITED RETURN of BLACK SAINT & SOUL NOTE LABELS: MARILYN CRISPELL & STEFANO MALTESE - Red (Black Saint 120199) CD $15 MARILYN CRISPELL & STEFANO MALTESE - Blue (Black Saint 120209) Marilyn is the wizard of Woodstock and of course, one of the giants of avant/jazz piano. Stefano is an amazing Italian multi-reeds hero with numerous releases out on Splasch, and certainly an under-recognized and ever-engaging saxist. A possible review will follow soon, if our pal Steve Holtje comes through (yo!). Only available in Europe until now. Each CD release is $15 ED BLACKWELL TRIO - Wall-Bridges (Black Saint 120153) Featuring Dewey Redman on tenor sax, Cameron Brown on acoustic bass and the late, great drummer for Ornette's original quartet - Ed Blackwell. This is supposedly a reissue, but I can't recall it from before. 2 CD set for $17 GLENN SPEARMAN - Free World (Black Saint 120207) Featuring Raphe Malik on trumpet, Marco Eneidi on alto sax, Paul Plimley on piano, Lisle Ellis on bass and Donald Robinson on drums. Glenn was an extraordinarily powerful saxist, who passed away a few years back. This should burn! CD release for $15. and other stuff... ROSCOE MITCHELL & THE NOTE FACTORY - Bad Guys (Around 96) Featuring Leo Smith, Matt Shipp, Grig Taborn, Spencer Barefield, Gerard Cleaver & others. Master saxist and Art Ensemble leader Roscoe Mitchell must have recorded this a few years back. CD release for $16. DON MOYE - Ancestral Memories (Around 98) Featuring Ari Brown on tenor sax and Billy Brimfield on trumpet. DON MOYE - Sun Percussion Summit & More (Around 97) CD releases for $16. STEVE LACY - Meets the Riccardo Fassi Trio: Dummy (Splasch 843) Riccardo is a fine pianist with numerous releases out on Splasch. CD release for $17. HORACE TAPSCOTT - Solo Piano - Volume Ten (Nimbus 2370) Another wonderful gem from the late, legendary big and small band leader, teacher and extraordinary jazz pianist from L.A. CD only release for $14. HAN BENNINK & KENNY MILLIONS - Bootleg (Hum Ha 00) Han is the incredibly creative jazz drummer and occasional prankster for the ICP Orchestra and Kenny is a great tenor saxist formerly known as Keshvan Maslak Probably great. CD release for $14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mnytime Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 (edited) I got that email as well. Does 4 previous Black Saint release really give the feeling that "both" labels will be available more readily in the U.S? By the way, both Red and Blue are excellent recordings. I don't even see anything from Soul Note in their list. Edited May 30, 2003 by Mnytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chaney Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Although a search of the Black Saint / Soul Note site still lists no North American distributor. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMG probably imported these CDs themselves. Edited May 30, 2003 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Looks like all of these were issued before. No new stuff. Never mind the distribution. Why not at least establish a web-site and sell direct to public? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Stop making sense Dmitry. What would buying jazz be like without first having to jump through all those tedious hoops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEK Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 ED BLACKWELL TRIO - "Wall-Bridges" was on one CD the first time around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 I've just e-mailed DMG with that question and I'll let you know their response. Their response: Many more will be available very soon 1-2 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrugs Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 (edited) Looks like they are playing "I got a secret". The owner of my local store of stores, Integrity N' Music, has been telling me that North Country will be picking up Black Saint/Soul Note in/around October. In fact look at the website!! right here!! Looks like it has happened already. Call Slim for details. Walls-Bridges was originally one cd. Maybe there was a 2nd set? It was recorded at University Of Mass, Amherst. I believe in the liner notes to Mal Waldron's The Git Go:Live at the Village Vanguard, there is mention of enough material for 5 or 6 more cd's(or was it 5 or 6 more hours?). Or I could have it heard that from someone who knows, can't remember. Edited May 31, 2003 by shrugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Good eye shrugs! I completely missed that announcement. Here's my question to Cadence and their response: The Black Saint/Soul Note website lists the following: "We are very pleased to inform our esteemed clientele that we have finally retrieved our north american operations. Our exclusive representative for USA and Canada is NorthCountry Distributors Cadence Building Redwood, New York 13679 Ph: 315-287-2852 Fax: 315-287-2860 email: northcountry@cadencebuilding.com " Is any further information available as to titles offered and pricing or when orders can begin to be placed? Thank you. Tony Buffalo, NY RESPONSE: Hello, We are starting to get product in now. Go ahead and send us your want list.

Dmitry Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 How often do the BS/SN cds include bonus material not on lps? I don't remember a single disk with bonuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrugs Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 I don't remember any either. If this Walls-Bridges contains extra material it would be the first time that I know of. However, it was never on lp or cassette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Off hand I can't recall coming across any SN/BS cd reissue having any extra music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrugs Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 I just saw a copy of the 2cd Walls Bridges and it appears the original may have contained edited tracks. A lot of the tracks are now longer if I remember correctly. FWIW, there is not much more music on this new reissue. My local has it 14.99 and I know he has to be making something on it. Looks like DMG is pricing above retail on this one since it's a 2cd set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
