Late Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Don't mean to be anti-climactic, but I know a recent list of the June Connoisseurs was posted somewhere here (I read it!), but now I can't find the thread where it was lodged. If someone feels like copying the list here, that would be great. The old 2007 "Wish List" thread is huge, so maybe we could also start a new discussion here of the upcoming Conns.

Chas Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) From this thread here is the list : June 5th 2007 Connoisseurs Andrew Hill-- Change Jimmy Smith-- Straight Life Kenny Cox-- Introducing Kenny Cox Frank Foster-- Manhattan Fever Stanley Turrentine-- Blues for Del Stanley Clarke-- TBA EDIT : Jazzitude lists the Stanley Clarke as ,"TBA Heads Up " . Stanley has a CD due out in June on this label , but it won't be a Connoisseur of course . Edited February 26, 2007 by Chas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaft Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 What's the story of Stanley on Heads Up? Don't they deal mostly with new recordings? Is it a reissue. I can't find anything on their website about it. /Shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefok Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I couldn't find any info on Andrew Hill - Changes. Is it a new album or an unissued album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I couldn't find any info on Andrew Hill - Changes. Is it a new album or an unissued album? It's a quartet album w/Sam Rivers, previously released under the name Involution. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) From this thread here is the list ... D'oh! I knew I'd read it, but forgot which thread. Thanks Chas. I see Cuscuna didn't bite on my Complete Pacific Jazz Gil Fuller Recordings idea. Or the Complete United Artists Herb Pomeroy Recordings. Ah well. Maybe in 2039. No interest here for the Smith, Turrentine, or Clarke, but I'll be picking up the others. Edited February 26, 2007 by Late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Complete United Artists Herb Pomeroy Recordings. Ah well. Maybe in 2039. I've suggested something similar to MC re: the EMI Pomeroy holdings. "Risky but tempting" was the reply; I think there's concern about how well it would sell. They did recently reissue the Irene Kral album with Pomeroy backing her, and that's a fine one (part of the "Great Jazz Vocals" series).

Late Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I agree, it's probably too risky — especially because Fresh Sounds reissued one of the Pomeroy large group recordings already. Now the Gil Fuller idea — the Spanish pirates have yet to pounce! I'll have to write Cuscuna again, and tell him that I'll mail a freshly baked loaf of banana bread (*) to the Mosaic office if he'll mull it over some more. * Goes well with Irish Breakfast tea.

They did recently reissue the Irene Kral album with Pomeroy backing her, and that's a fine one (part of the "Great Jazz Vocals" series). I've been bugging him for years about a complete Pomeroy set, with no success, and I had pretty much given up. Now it seems like the door is, if not wide open, at least cracked slightly. By the way, are you Pomeroy fans aware of two sets which are hard to find - "Herb Pomeroy Live At Sandy's" (Red Rose Music, SACD only), and "Pramlatta's Hips - Live At The El Morocco," (Shiah) an LP set never issued on CD? Essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Tokyo Live would be a great Connoiseur. I'd like to retire my CDR's of that album with a real copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Tokyo Live would be a great Connoiseur. That's the only Tony Williams album on Blue Note that's not out on CD yet, right? I'm a bit saddened that Louis Smith's Smithville did not make the final list after all. Maybe next time. I really like "Here Comes Louis Smith", the band on Smithville is great and even though it's already out in Japan there are two leftover tracks from that session that should be on the Connoisseur disc.

It received a 4-star review in DownBeat (along with Gary Bartz's Shadows, also 4-stars) at the time. I agree — the Louis Smith is very nice.

Always the possibility of bonus tracks that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyo Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Tony Williams' Tokyo Live came out as a 2-disc set in 1993. Ah, right - it's just one of those hard to find BNs from the 80s/early 90s. I'm still worried how long (and how much money) it'll probably take for me to gather all those Stanley Turrentine Blue Note albums from that time...

felser Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 [ Tony Williams' Tokyo Live came out as a 2-disc set in 1993. I've always thought that those Tony Williams albums were overrated (and I passed on the Select), but Tokyo Live was an exception to me, the one compelling release by that group.
