Thanks Dan! Did it impress you as well engineered? Found some credits. Looks like the legendary Wally Heider recorded this! Sounds promising.

How's the recording quality? Professional recording or amateur? Was this released back in 67? Or first published years later? Stereo or mono? Thanks!

Anyone heard this Jack Wilson Trio album before? I've never seen it listed. It's a Jack Wilson CD due to be issued in Japan this month. The cover photo suggests 1960s vintage? The label says "Interplay Records." Sidemen are listed as Ike Isaacs and Jimmie Smith. When was this recorded? The Jack Wilson Trio Live At The Pied Piper +2 Catalog No. XQAM-1614 JAN 4582260931042 Number of discs 1 Item weight 120g 1. Soulin' 2. Impressions 3. Mercy Mercy Mercy 4. I'll Drown In My Own Tears 5. Soulin' 6. Walk On By 7. Red 8. Misty Night 9. Soulin'

I wonder how the sound quality will be given Columbia didn't record it. Someone also posted that this may be the tracklisting: St. Louis Blues Three To Get Ready These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You) Cielito Lindo La Paloma Azul (The Blue Dove) Take The "A" Train Someday My Prince Will Come Swanee River I'm In A Dancing Mood You Go To My Head Set My People Free For Drummers Only Take Five

Someone named "tribby2001" posted this on the Hoffman forums. http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=230166&page=4

It's a previously unreleased studio session, reportedly the last made by the "classic quartet." No tracklisting or recording date yet from Sony. I think the quartet broke up around 1967, so the best guess is the studio recording may be from that time period. I guess we'll have to wait until a press release is issued by Sony. Or maybe someone has a contact at Legacy or with Brubeck management camp and can provide more info?

Amazon now has the Brubeck "Last Time Out" CD up for preorder: Oct. 25, 2011. ==> http://www.amazon.com/Last-Time-Out-Dave-Brubeck/dp/B005JC1YR2/

Not sure. Could one possibility be that the original album tracks come from a Lp production master dub tape. And bonus tracks come from the original source reel?

I had it and dumped it, preferring the 1997 Legacy single CD instead. The problem with the deluxe 2CD Legacy edition: a dropout in the opening seconds of Take Five, which is not present on the late 90s remaster.

The circa 1999/2000 JRVG was heavily compressed and sounds like crap. Thus, I'm in for the AP SACD. They've all been uniformly excellent so far.

It's a great reissue. The sound is good too. Thanks for the pic. Does the set contain mastering credits?

Was the remaster issued in the 2010 box? See below image:

A Legacy Brubeck promo video on Amazon advertises this as coming in 2011: "The newly-discovered final studio session of the 'classic quartet'" Any idea of the tracklisting and date of this session? Would this be circa 1967 or 66?

Dave Digs Disney Legacy Edition sound samples on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Dave-Digs-Disney-Legacy-Edition/dp/B004W4UBRW Press release (Press release) Following jazz icon Dave Brubeck’s 90th birthday on December 6, 2010, Columbia/Legacy continues the celebration with a greatly-expanded reissue of the 1957 classic Dave Digs Disney. Originally issued as a six-track album recorded in mono, DAVE DIGS DISNEY: LEGACY EDITION will now feature the album in both mono and stereo mixes, as well as an abundance of rare bonus tracks. The title is set for digital release on May 24, 2011. Dave Digs Disney is in many ways an important album in the Brubeck canon. It marked the first time a musician (or in this case, a group of musicians) dedicated an entire series of tunes to interpretations of children’s fare – the films of Walt Disney; it also became the second most important title in The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s Columbia catalogue, after the platinum-selling Time Out album, and the one to which many listeners return to. The Dave Brubeck Quartet is comprised of Dave Brubeck (piano), Paul Desmond (Alto Saxophone), Norman Bates (bass) and Joe Morello (drums). DAVE DIGS DISNEY: LEGACY EDITION will feature a new foreword by Brubeck, as well as the original liner notes by album producer George Avakian. All of the audio content has been digitally remastered by producer Didier C. Deutsch and engineer Mark Wilder, under the supervision of executive producer Russell Gloyd. The excitement of hearing Dave Digs Disney for the first time in broad stereo makes this reissue as important as when the album was first released in 1957.

I'm looking to pick up Extensions, a 1965 Cadet album by Ahmad Jamal. So I ping eBay looking for an old vinyl Lp, and i discover Extensions was released on CD in the EU by the "Jazz Beat" record label. So what exactly can I expect in terms of sound quality and source material for Jazz Beat? Is this a "gray" area EU label skirting copyright laws and issuing CDs from vinyl Lp needledrops, with no money going to the publisher / label? Or do they have a deal with Universal and actually use the master tapes as source material? I seem to recall Fresh Sound in Spain issued needledrops -- stuff like Jack Wilson's Ramblin. I was curious if Jazz Beat is of similar ilk. If so, I'll pick up the original vinyl instead of a dubious CD. Would appreciate any advice and experience with this CD and Jazz Beat label. Thanks!

Never recorded in stereo AFAIK. Did Atlantic have 8 track recorders back then? http://www.nyrocker.com/blog/tag/tom-dowd/ "In an October 1999 interview for MIX magazine, Dowd noted that “in February of ‘58, the first [Atlantic] session on 8-track was Lavern Baker. Within the next 90 days, I went through Bobby Darin, the Coasters, Charlie Mingus, Ray Charles…I would be sitting in the studio doing the Coasters at 2 o’clock in the afternoon with Mike [stoller] and Jerry [Leiber]. Ahmet would call me up and say, ‘Ten o’clock tonight, we’re going to do Mingus.’ You want culture shock? Go from the Coasters to Charlie Mingus in ten hours!” Dowd designed Atlantic’s first 8-track studio on West 60th Street in 1959 and began recording there the following year."

The SACD of My Favorite Things is reportedly the MONO mix -- a DSD transfer from the original US mono mixdown tape (not from a Japanese dub tape). The mono mix is not fold-down of the stereo, but instead reportedly a unique mix made from the 8 track multi-tracks back in the day. I've never heard the mono Lp mix so this one intrigues me. Anyone heard the mono album mix before? Comments? Good dynamic range or squashed and compressed? How does it compare to the stereo? I guess the original multitracks were burned in the 1970s fire so this may be the only opportunity to hear the album differently than the stereo mix, via this dedicated unique mono mix.

It's another needle drop from the same company!! Massive Lp surface noise.

Check out this video called "I Met The Walrus"

Lennon was a brilliant, complex artist. His final Lp sessions found him setting aside politics and reflecting on family and relationship renewal. Hard to say with any certainty what he would have done had he lived, but given his history of outspokenness, it's reasonable to conclude he may have spoken out against salient issues such as the Iraq War. His outspokenness on the Vietnam war showed he wasn't afraid to push back against the system and use his fame to stand up for the underdog. His solo career had some fantastic peaks (Plastic Ono Band, Imagine) and some inconsistent lesserlight material (Some Time in New York City, Walls & Bridges), but it's also reasonable to conclude he would have continued writing music and put out some strong material from time to time. Regardless of if you dug Lennon's music or not, the viciousness of some born-again piece of shit asshole shooting a man in the back who had a wife and two sons is a stomach turning tragedy. In a recently released interview with Lennon conducted a few days before his death Lennons states: "“I’m not claiming divinity. I have never claimed purity of soul. I’ve never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding. These critics with the illusions they’ve created about artists it’s like idol worship. They only like people when they are on their way up ... I cannot be on the way up again. What they want is dead heroes, like Sid Vicious and James Dean. I’m not interesting in being a dead (expletive) hero... So forget ‘em, forget ‘em.” http://new.ca.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/335127/rolling-stone-to-release-john-lennons-final-print-interview-30-years-later/

Thanks for the heads up. Those two titles have been uploaded to iTunes as well by "Essential Media Group LLC." Did they license this stuff from Warner Brothers?? I'm listening to the sound samples on headphones and both of these albums on iTunes are from friggin NEEDLE-DROPS (i.e. dubs from old records) and thus evince Lp surface noise and swirling NoNoise or CEDAR type digital noise reduction artifacts. Crap sound. It sucks that so many Wilson albums are Lp dubs! What's up the with the Jack Wilson catalog? The Ramblin CD is a Spain bootleg, also from a needledrop. Are all his Vault master tapes MIA -- or are companies just bootlegging this stuff from old crappy records since the real owners (Warner/Rhino) won't bother issuing this stuff from the master tapes? Brazilian Mancini appears to be a poorly produced piece of lightweight fluff with little or no jazz improvisation content. But The Jazz Organs in contrast is MUCH more interesting -- I'm diggin it! But many of the tracks are very short. Why can't Mosaic do a Jack Wilson box or even a 3CD "Select" set and rescue his very best Lps and master them from the original tapes?

Amazon is showing this is now out on the streets. Anyone pick it up? Are we getting any new remasterings? Or did Sony Sales Execs just bundle a bunch of New Old Stock (NOS) discs to monetize dormant inventory, including 3 discs of the poorly regarded "purple border Columbia Masterworks" masterings from 15-20 years ago?

Amazon is showing the box is due out Oct. 25. Next Tuesday. If anyone picks it up, please advise if those 3 purple border masterworks discs are newly remastered and/or repackaged.
