can't think of a more perfect argument in favor of CDs
-
Awesome news.
-
Those are both legit I imagine. But there is also a 3-disc set with the complete available tour recordings that has been released in identical form as Live In Europe 1959 (Complete Recordings) on Solar, American Jazz Classics, and Essential Jazz Classics. Those are definitely not legit.

Resonance will be releasing a 4xLP and 3xCD set of the '59 tour. This appears to be essentially a track for track redux of the existing grey market 3-disc set that has been on the around for the last several years on different "labels". But I'll certainly pick it up to check out the sound and read the notes; the package for the '67 set was very well done.
Tracklist can be found here for now: https://www.zdigital.com.au/artist/sonny-rollins-(2)/release/freedom-weaver-the-1959-european-tour-recordings-live-37098170

Are there any other CD or download releases from this series?
Can't speak to downloads, but no CDs. They still do new releases and first-release archival items (i.e. Blakey, Elvin Jones) on CD but catalog reissues are vinyl only.
-
Glad they're doing a CD this go around. I suppose I get why they don't mirror the other Tone Poet releases with CDs but it sure would be nice since they've done a few titles that never got a domestic CD release. And it does just seem such a shame that the BN catalogue is now fully out of print on the medium.
-
I hope they do do an official release of the Berkeley concert, it's fantastic.

Khan Jamal's Give The Vibes Some is now being reissued, but not by Souffle Continu. This reissue was licensed from his family. Unfortunately unlike with SC this one is limited to 500 copies only and is priced much higher. Also no CD. Unfortunate.

FWIW it seems like the operations of Cadence/CadNor have been handed over for awhile, so especially now I don't think that one would have to feel like they're lining his pockets by purchasing from there. Still a one of a kind resource.

PM on the following:
Dickerson ,Walt A Sense of Direction 10
Doyle Arthur/Sonny Murray Live at Glenn Miller Café 12
Dresser ,Mark Force Green 3
Dyani ,Johnny Detail - Day Two 6
Burrell ,Dave After Love 12
Dan ,Lao/Deng Boyu Tutu Duo 2
-
Still looking through & will PM you later, but please hold the Doyle/Murray disc for me.
-
Great read, but hoping there could be a Part 2 that goes into all the other fantastic releases outside the AEC axis.
-
I would agree with everyone here, it's pretty straightforward. A LOT of Harriott has been scraped up for release over the last 10-20 years and while it's all nice to have, imo there's still nothing that tops the studio albums, especially Abstract and Free Form.
-
Corbett vs. Dempsey will be releasing an ESO "small unit" CD in the next couple weeks. I assume this is drawn from a CvsD gallery performance last spring that featured Mazurek with Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Tomeka Reid, Damon Locks, Chad Taylor, and Angelica Sanchez:

Upping this thread to note that there is a recent unofficial 2xCD out of Japan that features performances from March 19 and April 2 called Creation: The Lost Half Note Tapes (note that the Impulse! CD is from March 26 and May 7). It can be purchased from Music Lover Japan for $55 (not cheap) or heard for free on YouTube. It's extraordinary stuff in bracing, upfront sound quality.
-
This is also an excellent album. RIP.

Caroline Morton is a very strong young bassist. Lemuel Marc also very promising. The times I’ve seen them live were inspiring. I’m mixed on Zoh. Very little harmonic agility. Best when she is with strong players like Chris Corsano, Steve Gunn, Ryan Sawyer & gabby. Saw a great drummerless quartet with Forbes Graham, gabby & Luke Stewart. The other best set was with Gunn, gabby & Ryan Sawyer. Sawyer really pushed her even more than Corsano.
.I can agree with that. The music with Corsano has been pretty rote to my ears. The stuff I've liked best is when she's playing with her peers-- sets with gabby fluke-mogul/Lesley Mok and gfm/Luke Stewart/Tcheser Holmes are the best I've heard so far.

I’ll work on a new list of newish recordings.
The younger musicians in NYC/Brooklyn are fire
James Paul Nadian
Chuck Roth
James McKain
Joey Sullivan (from Philly)
Michael Foster
Brandon Lopez (not new any longer)
Charmaine Lee
Caleb Duvall
T.J. Borden
Madison Greenstone
Webb Crawford
and more.
My familiarity with these musicians is largely limited to YouTube obviously but definitely some very strong players here; not necessarily convinced by all yet. Some other younger improvisors I’d add are Kelly Bray, Caroline Morton, DoYeon Kim, and Lemuel Marc. There’s a lot of promise out there right now. I’m cautiously optimistic that a new paradigm is on the rise.
Regarding Zoh Amba: I’ve listened to her recordings and watched a number of sets online; some were great, some less so. Meaning some had great clarity of intention and some did not. So it goes. But seeing her duet in person with Joe McPhee a few weeks ago was a revelation. It was truly extraordinary. She largely let Joe take the lead and colored his lines, echoed, pondered, and responded in perfect harmony. At times she was playing precisely his unique register on the horn. It was easily one of the best sax duos I’ve ever heard, and I know Joe was awed. Time will tell how she chooses to use her gifts, but she very much has them to use. Anyways, hopefully she & Joe will meet again, ideally on record.

Bill Crow has shared news of Dave Bailey’s passing at age 97. A wonderful drummer and bandleader who can be heard on a murderer’s row of classic dates from the 50s and 60s, perhaps most notably those of Gerry Mulligan. A blessing that he was able to have such a long and full life.

So glad you are seeing this. Especially with the *great* Joe McPhee right in the middle of the lineup!!
Tomorrow night Mary Halvorson & Sylvie Courvoisier @ Jazz Gallery. Front table:)
Joe's duet with Zoh was otherworldly. I knew she would do a good job but I was in awe. As good as, if not better than, any saxophone duet I've ever heard him do.

Really agree. I didn't feel compelled to rush out & get this, but a quick used copy turned up at my shop so I grabbed it and have had it spinning on repeat. Very strong stuff.

That was my thought, pretty underwhelming if so.
Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy: The Mighty Warriors
in New Releases
Posted
Specifically, no. But the Mal Waldron Super Quartet - Live At Sweet Basil album from 1987 is close-- Eddie Moore in the drum chair rather than Cyrille.
