jazzbo Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Mine too. I don't see much evidence that it has except. . . this amazon page shows an image of a Legacy back cover. . . . http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Goes-College-Dave-Brubeck/dp/B002HI70B0/ref=sr_1_8?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1306626882&sr=1-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Lon, Amazon shows the cover of the 2008 release to be a "Columbia Jazz Masterpiece", which I would have figured would have been the 1989 release. The two editions have different prices. Do you think that Amazon switched the covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamcatcher_43 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'll be. Sho 'nuff. I wonder if it was available for only a brief period of time due to some sort of legal issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamcatcher_43 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I sent the same question to Columbia's Legacy website. If they reply, I'll post their response here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I needed to add a cd to get free shipping from amazon, so I ordered the 2008 release. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will order the true 2008 release after you confirm which one it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Really wierd, though, I can't find a front cover scan, or a definitive return for "Jazz Goes To College" "Legacy Edition".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Ooh, when was this issued? I really love that album, had it on vinyl as a kid. Might be worth investigating to try to get, I wonder if it was a crapshoot on which version you'll get Lon? A newly packaged reprint that looks like a remastered version but is really the blue border version, or a truly fresh remixed, remastered Legacy version. edit: Well, I read the back cover from the supposed "Legacy" version and the mastering credits Larry Keyes and digital engineering by Vlado Meller, which points to this is probably an inferior sounding 80's Columbia CD, which were really harsh sounding. For example the original CBS Associated release of the "California Concert" by the CTI All Stars mastered by Meller sounds horrible and lifeless, even weirder was that applause was looped and inserted from Freddie Hubbard/Stanley Turrentine "In Concert" on that one.

jazzbo Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yes, it's probably the old mastering in new clothing. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 If it isn't too terrible, let me know I think more than anything old OJC's still sound very good, as I've been listening to a lot of the Montreux'77 titles on Pablo, the thing wrong with those as I notice with a lot of recordings made by Montreux's sound engineers is the balance is off and shifts a lot. Like on the "Pablo All Stars Jam" theres a lot of shifting in the stereo image, especially at one point Oscar Peterson sounds like he was recorded at RVG's........ VERY strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Too much detail for these old ears - so I just bought a $2.99 copy from an Amazon reseller purported to be from 2008. Don't know what I'm getting, but I bet it'll do the trick for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 did they use the electronically-rechenneled-for-stereo tape as their master? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Brown Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I just checked Jazz Goes to College on Amazon.ca and discovered that a new edition will be released on June 14th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETman Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) I think this is the one everybody's referring to: http://allmusic.com/album/jazz-goes-to-college-r135983 If you scroll to the bottom, you'll see that it was reissued in 2008, which is when Sony BMG repackaged a lot of their jazz cd catalogue. FWIW, I think the one that Jim posted above is a Sony issue manufactured in either Europe or Japan, as I've never seen US issues with the words "Sony Music" with the little swoosh printed on them.

Good to see another post from you. For what it's worth, I decided to cancel that order from amazon. I'll see if this new one surfaces and what it might be like mastering wise.

GA Russell Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Is this album as good or better than Oberlin and College of the Pacific? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Brown Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) I've always thought it was almost as good as the Oberlin concert - and that's a recommendation. Edited May 30, 2011 by Don Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Columbia Jazz Masterpiece edition lists Larry Keyes as doing the digital remaster but doesn't mention Vlado Meller; just says "all digital engineering and mastering at CBS Records Studio, New York". BTW Am I the only one who thinks that "Le Souk" is one of Desmond's great solos? Certainly one of his bluesiest.

The 5CD box goes for $20.61, so I have put that on my wish list. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Album-Classics-5-CD/dp/B0042FU4IC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1306782272&sr=1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
