felser Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Just saw this in a new releases column (theseconddisc.com). Do not understand who would buy these discs. Only the Truly Converted are going to buy Resonance issues, and only the Merely Curious buy jazz best-of's. What (if anything) am I missing?

David Ayers Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I hardly know what the market for any disc is anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 People who give the gift of a jazz cd to their non-jazzliker friends in hopes that the presentation will be palatable and/or inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Is it possible there are people interested in Wes who don't want every single thing Resonance has put out? They must think so ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who has a few Wes CDs and heard about new archival recordings but isn't an insane collector who has to have it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throughout the last 10 years or more, I have several times given as a gift the 2001 Impulse CD John Coltrane Spiritual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted O'Reilly Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Yes, but maybe the artist (passed on or still with us) might think that the " presentation will be palatable and/or inspiring" would be best served by catalogue items approved, issued and royalties-paid-on. Very, very, very few "performance/live" recordings are up to the standards serious artists would approve, especially if the source is a on-off local radio taping. I know, I've done hundreds of them, and the artists have agreed to a ONE TIME broadcast to promote the week-long gig, and nothing else. (Yet, with their approval, lots of my tapings have been issued.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Resonance releasing work w/o making the appropriate deals with artists/estates/etc? First I've heard of it if they aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor have I heard anything about Resonance. I know that Bill Evans was not happy when unapproved takes were later included in re-issues. I know of a Toronto musician who would stay after a session to erase unwanted material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
