Posted 14 Nov 2020 Billy Mitchell - A Little Juicy Mitchell's second album on Smash is one that is still waiting for cd-release. I'm not familiar with the record but with Thad Jones, Kenny Burrell and Richard Wyands offering support one cannot help but feeling it should be out there.

I guess I thought he was kinda into the easy listening "fake" latin genre. I was mistaken... As a West Coast fan I have several Fantasy albums with Cal Tjader. It was pure luck that I stumbled recently over a 10 CD box available at german 2001 for small money. It contains 20 complete albums. Even considering that I have now a few duplicates nevertheless this box is worth it. Here are the listed album titles - Tjader Plays Jazz - Tjader Plays Mambo -Mambo With Tjader - The Dave Brubeck Trio with Cal Tjader - Cal Tjader Quartet - - Brubeck / Tjader - The Dave Brubeck Trio - Latin Kick - Cal Tjader Goes Latin - - San Francisco Moods - West Side Story - Concert By The Sea Vol I - Concert By The Sea Vol II - Concert On Campus - Demasado Caliente - Cal Tjader plays - Mary Stalling sings - The Cal Tjader - Stan Getz Sextet - Cal Tjader Plays Harold Arlen - Cal Tjader / Anita O'Day - Latino - Cal Tjader plays the contemporary Music of Mexico & Brazil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Dec 2020 Jay Hoggard - Mystic Winds, Tropical Breezes. Was listening to this record just now, after almost two decades. This is very VERY good. Surprised it wasn't released on cd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 10 Dec 2020 (edited) has this been mentioned previously? Not sure if this 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival recording has ever existed in the digital (CD) realm - Discogs lists no CD releases Trio with Bob Cranshaw & Kenny Clarke. Hampton plays a lot of electric piano, maybe thats why it's been passed over? Edited 10 Dec 2020 by romualdo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This box does not contain anything that wasn't previously released on OJC or Verve CDs. Seems to be copied from these, sound is slighly inferior to them. But if you do not have any of it, it is a great bargain. I bought it for playing in the car. According to US law it shouldn't be sold there. Cardboard slipcases, no liner notes, partly wrong credits (as on the original issues). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder why CDs taken from CDs don't sound exactly like the originals. Isn't that what the industry was afraid of? 13 hours ago, jazzcorner said: No complaints from my side.

Posted 13 January (edited) Pete La Roca’s ‘Turkish Woman at a Bath’ I know this has been released on cd but as far as I know never in a proper (or legit) way or did it? Anyway it’s up for release in March: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/YZMS-1055 not a lot of details yet but Tokuma mostly does a fine job in remastering. It has my interest.

I would expect that that 32 Jazz CD reissue in 1997 was legit. Unless that had something to do with Muse having released it under Chick Corea's name as "Bliss" without proper clearance (thought I read that somewhere), and 32 Jazz put it out as part of their Muse rights purchase. Really interesting album, regardless. And a chance to hear John Gilmore (and Corea, for that matter) in a very different setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 January I think the sound won't be much different, it seems inherent in the recording itself. Coll album none-the-less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
