mjzee Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Release date August 27: Comprising entirely of previously unreleased material, the fascinating 'Lost Tapes Vol. 3' from Jazz trumpeter, drummer, composer and bandleader Don Ellis will be released on 27 August 2021. Sleepy Night Records is delighted to release this, the last in the series of 'Lost Tapes'.The collection is based upon a treasure trove of recordings, photos, letters, video, scores and music supplied to Sleepy Night Records by the late Ken Orton. The musician sadly died three years ago, but he had the biggest worldwide collection of Don's material and worked with Don's family to preserve his memory.'Lost Tapes Vol. 3' features never before heard tracks from Don's own personal collection, both in the form of studio material and other music recorded at various clubs on reel to reel and cassette tapes.The album closes, fittingly, with Don Ellis' last ever recording. Laid down in 1978, Vulcan was recorded in a club but on this collection Sleepy Night Records have enhanced this track, by adding in new keyboard parts, bass, drums, strings and a new guitar solo. By not deviating from the original spirit, and keeping the track honest, this has breathed new life into this cassette recording. The original version of Vulcan will be available on all digital platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Are they CDs or CD-Rs? Vols 1 and 2 on their site seem to be described as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Any kind of a link? I may or may not be interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Label looks pretty legit, but almost no detail about the products. This looks even more compelling to me than the CD's do. Anyone seen it? https://www.sleepynight-shop.com/product/don-ellis-electric-heart-dvd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) I had pre-ordered the new one from JPC but got a cancellation note. They now offer it again but at a higher price. Too late, as I ordered at a much cheaper rate, including shipping, from Sleepy Night directly. It was on its way the day after I ordered. https://www.sleepynight-shop.com/product/don-ellis-the-lost-tapes-vol-3 Edited August 12, 2021 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
