  2. Columbia vault reissues wish list

    in Re-issues

    Posted

    Pony Poindexter: The Pony Express w. bonus tracks (1 AT and 1 Xmas tune from those sessions)

    I have this as a Koch issue purchased from Dusty Groove about fivr years ago,so it is doubtless OOP by now. Don't hasve the disc to hand (under a pile of discs) to check for any additional material.

    The Tubby Hayes/Clark Terry disc was withdrawn because Polygram (as was) owns it; it originally came out when Columbia and Phillips had a distribution deal. This has come up on this site before.

  3. Charles Christopher Parker Jr

    in Artists

    Posted · Edited by Philip

    I'm involved in a dispute over at Wikipedia over Charlie Parker's middle name. I used the "Biographical Dictionary of Jazz" (1999) as confirmation for this, although the one volume Grove (1994) is silent on this detail. Someone querying my addition on the talk page points that Ross Russell in "Bird Lives" (yes I know!) complains about the Christopher addition to his headstone, and I'm aware (from the web) that the Reisner biography (1963) quotes Addie Parker saying that Christopher is indeed false, but the confusion persists.

    Incidentally, the Britannica site agrees with Charles Christopher Parker, Jr being his birth name!

    Thanks!

  8. Riverside Story (BBC Radio 3) this Saturday

    in Jazz Radio & Podcasts

    Posted

    "John Fordham looks at one of the unsung heroes of modern jazz recording - Riverside Records. In conversation with legendary record producer and label owner Orrin Keepnews, they chart how the label came to record some of the key jazz albums of the fifties and early sixties.

    "In this first part, Keepnews tells how he dealt with the sometimes difficult Thelonious Monk in the studio, signed pianist Bill Evans and recorded one of jazz's first statements on civil rights, Sonny Rollins' Freedom Suite."

    Source

    The listing in the "Radio Times", at least, misses the word "unsung." I think I'll guffaw in less than thirty seconds when I hear this.

  9. The rip-off labels

    in Discography

    Posted

    Classics does its mastering from "unlisted sources", as the Penguin Guide authors put it; copyright on LPs pressed since the start of 1955 still applies in Europe. The point is that Davies and Kendall used original 78s.

    The Italian Giants of Jazz label (still available in the UK) should be included in the rip-off list.

  11. Jazz on TV - Question for Brits

    Saved this from a "missing television" bulletin board a few years ago. Apart from J=Junked, the other abbreviations have some curiousity value (R1=16mm, R3=35mm kinescope/telerecording) so I've left them in.

    ...It is beyond doubt that Zionists, the most radical, racist and nationalistic Jews around, have already managed to turn America into an Israeli mission force. ...

    Jewish-Americans=2.5% :wacko:

  13. Syndication........

    in Miscellaneous - Non-Political

    Posted

    Haven't television shows in the US always suffered from cuts when syndicated to local stations? As a former trekkie, I remember that this was a regular complaint twenty years ago. (The familiar grows tiresome eventually.)

    The squeezing of the end credit sequences happens here too, though mainly only on the more commercial channels. Damn the practice.

  16. Impulse label on CD

    in Re-issues

    Posted · Edited by Philip

    The original session tape(s) of ALS were lost in the seventies when the labels then owners (ABC) reduced contents of the tape vault to cut costs. As I understand it, this mainly affected unissued material, including some Coltrane, but some things were unintentionally discarded, including the ALS tapes. Consequently the album then had to be derived from an inferior source (the erroneous noises on Pursuance being the most obvious flaw). The new edition uses the tape, mastered by RVG, which was sent over to EMI (the UK licensee in the sixties) for the issue on the HMV label.

    I'm always amused by the incongriety of the Nipper logo (the dog and the acoustic horn) with the Impulse dates.

  17. Alan Bates - Freedom etc.

    in Discography

    Posted

    I seem to recall Humphrey Lyttelton playing a Black Lion reissue onhis radio show and saying that the master tape had been buried in a motorway pylon for a couple of years (presumably so that it could be written off against tax). Obviously, all this does not explain the sound of original issues, but is another example of Bates' buisness practices.
