king ubu Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Bill Barron is in work at Freshsound's, I guess (not that I like it, and it will be a few years, too) ... but I'd love to get that Poppa Sammich phone record - anyone ever contacted the NSA about it?

Head Man Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 There's one other Jef Gilson that's available direct from Futura/Marge Records in France. It's not possible to link direct to the album, but link to this: http://futuramarge.free.fr/ click on the "Futura" button and then click on "Musiciens". Scroll down to Jef Gilson and you'll find details of the album - "Sahib Shihab + Gilson Unit". There's a sound sample of one of the tracks to check whether it's something you'll like.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Afew I'd like to hear: And one I'd dearly like a CD copy of, without the LP surface noise that has spoilt the record for me since it's release: Prefer them as single disc releases rather than as part of megalopoboxsets.

medjuck Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yes to Ellington! I think there's be more from later in the fifties that never made it to regular albums? There are a few still awaiting proper reissue: A Drum Is A Woman Peer Gynt Suite Nutcracker Suite Suite Thursday Bal Masque Jazz at the Plaza Most of these were on French CDs, but all deserve the definitive treatment. I think the three suites are still available on a cd called "3 Suites". Bal Masque was issued without the fake applause as part of the Sony '51-'58 box set. But it would be great to see Jazz at the Plaza as well as a collection of all the singles he did for Columbia after '49. (I've never even heard The Asphalt Jungle Twist.) I'd also love to see a cd reissue of the entire Gil Evans at the Royal Albert Hall. Part of it was on an RCA Lp and the rest of it on Mole Jazz and none of it has been on cd as far as I know.

xybert Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I wish that they'd reissue the Steve Lacy Scratching the Seventies box. Also, Chick Corea - The Song of Singing. In fact a Blue Note Corea box could be quite cool, could include Circulus and Circling In which i don't believe has ever been on CD. Dammit this just became something that i really want that will probably never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 re: Corea, I once proposed that stuff as a Select to Mosaic ... and got a reply (from MC) that this was a good idea ... however, we all know the fate of the Selects. and yeah, I'd love to get the Lacy set, too!

Chuck Nessa Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Is the Lacy "Scratching the Seventies" that hard to find? When it was offered it was really inexpensive for a package mailed from France. I received mine on August 1, 2003 and this is during a time I had no money to spend on "extras". Maybe they underpriced it and .... If that was the case they would have reissued it. Edited December 14, 2013 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 No idea about price of the Lacy, there are hardly any offers though, so I guess after all it IS rare ... there's one on ebay now for around 120 $ ... now if I could walk into a store, inspect it before Ibuy it, I might pay that much, but still ...

Face of the Bass Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 The only thing this world needs is for somebody to come along and do legit reissues of the Fontana New Jazz Series and the Horo label.

Everything else fades into insignificance. a big second for the Fontana New Jazz Series with those stunning Marte Rolling covers re the Lacy "Scratching" set - picked up my copy in 1999 from Forced Exposure for $40 - I remember it being not easy to source (for Australia) even then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybert Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Just to put Scratching the Seventies lack of availability in to perspective, i've been looking for a few years now and any time i've looked on Amazon there hasn't been a single seller entry, not even something like a second hand copy going for $1000.00 or something ridiculous. Nada, zip, zilcho. It might pop up on ebay every now and again but i've found it to be non-existent online any time i've looked. Zero buying options. That is, coincidentally, until today when all of a sudden there is a second hand listing for $79.95. Funny thing is i know it went up today as I checked it this morning and there was nothing there as usual... now all of a sudden there is a listing... funny.

David Ayers Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Actually when you come to think about what 'we' are 'missing' you have to admit we've done rather well over the years, even recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Indeed. Especially if you don't insist on hard copy. That 'Scratching the Seventies' is readily available as a download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybert Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ornette Coleman, Crisis and Ornette at 12. Yes. With all the stuff Impulse has put out over the years i can't understand why these haven't been released on CD. I wonder if this would fit on one of those Impulse twofers.
