John L Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Well, the MP3 version finally appeared on Amazon: the MP3s are only $10 more expensive than the CD package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Digital versions are often more expensive than the the hard copies if there's a sale price on the atoms (vs bites). True of books sometimes too. On the other hand, digital versions of music albums often allow you to buy (some) cuts separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Phil Schaap's liner notes are semi-illiterate in spots and feature some peculiar Schaap-isms. Details upon request. As for the music, check out track 7 on disc one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John L Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I just got a chance to hear this - a very fine release, indeed. The highlight for me is all the new music with Bird's working band from the Spring of 1949. Less than 19 minutes of music from these sessions was released up until now. Now we have 35 minutes more. This was the only time that Norman Granz allowed Bird to record with his working band. It is also the only studio recordings with the Dorham, Haig, Potter, Roach quintet (with Tommy Turk (tb) and Carlos Vidal (bgo) added on the April session). Bird is in great form too.

l p Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) example: cd1, track 33 (0:42). at 0:32 after they say 'cut', the music continues for a few seconds, then goes on repeat, and fades out. what is the reason for this? i've heard this process before on old recordings.

JSngry Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Ok, I get why some people don't like false starts and incomplete takes, I do, but I love this, maybe more because it's Bird, but also just to hear the real life part of people standing there making a record. How they get ready, how they fall out once a cut is called, all that stuff. Plus it's Bird, so even a few notes of a botched head still sounds better to me than no Bird at all.

jazzbo Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 And I'd like to say I like the mastering of this disc, and the reason why is no one is talking about the mastering of this disc. It sounds just right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
