Bol Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Am I right in thinking that this is a straight re-issue of the Japanese 20-bit K2 release? Thanks in advance for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm curious too. Would seem likely, though it's not entirely straight as the Japanese set had three cds, one set per cd. They are combined here on two cds. Exellent music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 This set has been discussed before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 This set has been discussed before. Yes, but as far as I can tell no one has really answered the mastering/straight copy question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 really Lon? I had no idea this set leaned the other way I have yet to purchase this set also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Someone is about to answer this question authoritatively, so listen up. I just got off the phone with Joe Tarantino, who remastered this new set for Fantasy/Concord (and he is credited for this on the label). He confirmed that this is, indeed, a new remastering, and NOT the Japanese 20-bit K2, and that this one was done in 24-bit. By the way, I also asked him about the new Bill Evans Vanguard box, which also credits him with remastering, and he confirmed that it, too, is a new remastering, and NOT the 20-bit-K2 remastered box previously issued in Japan. I've called Joe in the past with questions, and he has always been very helpful. I'm glad to see that even with the Concord acquisition, he's still there.

Bol Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks so much for a very helpful answer. I wish it was a straight re-issue of the 20-bit K2, as I am a big fan of that format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 You should give this one a chance. IMHO, Joe did a great job improving on the 20-bit K2 remastering of the Bill Evans Vanguard recordings, as I discussed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks Ron! Now call Kirk Felton up and ask him. . . . NAH, just kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 That's OK, Lon--I've already asked Kirk the question you wanted answered. He said that yes, absolutely, your stereo system is better than any other he's ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron S Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm not sure how much better those can get! Every time I listen to those, I'm amazed at how fabulous they sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'm not sure how much better those can get! Every time I listen to those, I'm amazed at how fabulous they sound. Right, but a box set in chronological order would be nice. (And I don't have every volume yet.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Can someone PLEASE say what the catalogue number of this set is - there seem to be two in the Concord catalogue and I don't know which is the complete set (or if they're different and I need to buy both).

I just saw the Evans set at Borders today, and the outer box says "20-bit K2". Is that a misprint? Or did Tarantino do a new remaster using the same technology? By the way, Lon, who is that fetching woman whose picture you put up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Ron, is he still on hold????

How about a "Complete Eric Dolphy at the Five Spot" two disc set? That's one combo that's long overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
