JETman Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Sound was really good on the first two. I don't have the 16 cd monster set, so for me this is a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Heck YEAH I'm still interested! I'll wait on buying those Beatles remasters to get this instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 What's in it, exactly? The Red Garland material? Plus...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wait if you REALLY want the Mono Box Set ---- it's already sold out. But EMI just announced they are making more. They didn't say how many more, however.

colinmce Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised. This bodes well for the possibility of the Impulse Albums vol. 4 (and 5?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised. This bodes well for the possibility of the Impulse Albums vol. 4 (and 5?)

colinmce Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well, I know that. All I am saying is that this proves that not all of the major jazz reissue programs are dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 This is great news!!! I love the first two boxes, never got the 16CD set either... too bad I just recently bought the four Garland discs (at least one of them has a trio cut or two, Dig It, I think, that one is hence good to have - or are those duplicate cuts available on other Garland trio discs on Prestige?) As for what will be in the box, I guess it starts out with the 1956 "Mating Call" album with Tadd Dameron, then it should include the Nov and Dec 1957 dates w/Garland, the session with Elmo Hope, the parts with Coltrane originally on Gene Ammons' "The Big Sound" and "Groove Blues", the album with Mal Waldron (Mal-2 it was, I think?). That should about fill five discs, the Garland material probably taking up almost half of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragu Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Except that the Prestige boxes are released by Concord and the Impulse! boxes by Universal. In the US anyway, Universal distributes Concord, they are part of the same corporate family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't mean they have the same release policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm gonna chain myself to - er, something - until Universal release a remaster of Om, preferably on SACD. 'erbs of ealing' rule ok! Free the spirit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Englewood Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 some more info here: http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/albums/Side-Steps/ Thanks for the link but the blurb doesn't give all that much info, ie like they did here for "Interplay", what are the specific albums contained other than the Garland and the Dameron, for people like me too lazy to look them up. :tophat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have "Fearless Leader" though and it is a really well put together set and I presume that "Interplay" and "Side-Steps" are/will be of a similar high quality.

king ubu Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have all but the Draper and Waldron (and as stated above only just got the Garland's). The Ammons discs you'll have to keep anyway (same with "Cattin'" and "The Cats" for the second box - not including the trio tracks is a bit of a goof in my humble opinion) as they contain quite some music without Coltrane. Anyway, I'm a big fan of all these Fantasy boxes. The two Coltranes are great, so is the Miles Quintet, so are the small cube boxes they did in their final years (Monk Prestige, Sonny Stitt, MJQ, the Bill Evans Vanguard one I just got...)
