Wow I was really annoyed by that! At least there was something for everyone. One that I initially glossed over was God Bless Child by Kenny Burrell. The selection they put on the Cool Revolutions box doesn't, do the album justice :-)

Has anyone picked up the CD yet? I have to admit that this might be my new Freddie Hubbard album!

Well I myself have found some intensely funky stuff on Canned Funk and Penny Arcade. I guess it's a matter of taste. Also they just released Gleam by Freddie Hubbard this week which is quickly becoming one of my favorite Hubbard albums. Also I was impressed with Griffith Park Collection with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Freddie Hubbard ,and Joe Henderson....I feel no "dirt" there!

Yes they do sound bad. Yet the quality of the music keeps me coming back! =-O I had downloaded some rips from the LPs and unfortunately they don't sound any different.

Yeah well there is was another album of live recordings in Japan a few months after this recording, released on CBS Records for the US. It's subtitled Volume One, which was canceled due to a lawsuit between Ron Carter and Didier C. Deutsch.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170841492675 A very rare CD version of the In Concert, In Japan album by The New York Jazz Quartet featuring Frank Wess on Flute and Soprano Saxophone, Ron Carter on Bass, Roland Hanna on Piano ,and Ben Riley on the drums in mini LP form PLJ recorders MTCJ 4016. It contains the live performances of 1. Little Waltz 2. Well You Needn't 3. Introspection 4. Mediterranean Seascape The CD is in excellent condition, it includes liner notes, but I marked "Good" because there is some wear to the mini lp sleeve mostly near the spine, and there is no OBI strip included.

I wish I could prove you wrong. There are a handful of things I'd like to see reissued in the US. I myself have been buying many of the Japanese reissues as they have covered more territory more frequently. King Japan has been pretty consistent with reissues every 3-4 years. Sony seems to reissue CTI material once every decade almost. However, don't forget about the 3 Joe Farrell albums on Wounded Bird from 2011 (Penny Arcade, Canned Funk, and Upon This Rock)

Hey guys I've been researching this Extrapolation issue. Since 2005 has it been confirmed that this a 24 bit remastering? What I've learned is that not all Polydor reissues in Japan are remastered.

Early one morning in 2009, I heard Nat Adderley's Jive Samba on the radio. It took me almost 3 months to track down the exact recording. I found it on the live album Cannonball Adderley Sextet: Lugano, 1963. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHFn0vHF6-c This was the single album that got me interested in jazz, and I love just about every other album he's done with this sextet, featureing Nat Adderley, Yusef Lateef, Joe Zawinul, Sam Jones, and Louis Hayes.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170769581039 Well it didn't sell the first time, so its been relisted and the price lowered, plus best offer accepted.

Thank you all for the feedback. After some consideration Ive decided to leave the prices set as they are for now. As I mentioned 99.99 is the lowest price I could find on the internet. The only reason why Id ask this much is because I want to get the Japanese edition of the same album wich cost 1.5x more! I understand the disagreements about Sky Dive. But its history on eBay is tricky. Some buyers win it for 25 and some win it for 50 or more. There is no set standard. Bidders bid as high or low as they want. Some may live in areas where the album is impossible to find in the local bins , others dont like or cant use Amazon because of thier region. I figured that since my copy is the only one on the "eBay Market" at this time, that asking a bit above adverage wouldnt hurt. I dont have anything to lose.

Yeah I know its pricey but its currently the cheapest one on the internet right now. And don't worry I got the Hoffman forum covered !

So we've discussed the CD reissues, but has anyone got a hold of the four vinyl reissues? How to to analog variations compare with the digital ones? differences in sound or mastering? I plan to get a turntable one of these days and would be interested in hearing Prelude.

For anyone collecting. I have number of Japanese Jazz albums on the CTI label for auction on ebay. All in end within 24hr. http://www.ebay.com/sch/timt78/m.html

What really kills the masterworks releases for me is the packaging. I had 3 of those releases and all 3 of them had bends and tears in them before I had even removed the shrink wrap.

Woah! Even on Sunflower? The difference on that one is enormous. The Legacy disc is almost mono, whereas the Masterworks disc is wide stereo. Yes I do hear the difference in stereo range, I should've mentioned that. Call me stubborn but I still prefer the King Records releases despite any criticisms. For example King's 2006 reissues of Giant Box and Blue Moses sound more detailed and warmer to me than the Masterworks versions. And with their 2009 releases I still feel the same. Perhaps the first review and comparisons between the 2009 King and Masterworks releases I read by Marc Myers at JazzWaxx.com has had some influence, but I compared them back and forth a well. Excerpt The rest of his review and commentary can be found here as Part 1 and 2 http://www.jazzwax.com/2010/09/a-tale-of-two-cti-releases.html http://www.jazzwax.com/2010/10/a-tale-of-two-ctis-part-2.html And Arnaldo DeSouteiro at Jazz Station who worked on previous Japanese/US/EU releases has made similar comments. http://jazzstation-oblogdearnaldodesouteiros.blogspot.com/2011/05/cd-reissue-of-month-don-sebesky-giant.html

I was listening to some of the comparisons posted above. Body Talk, Beyond the Blue Horizon, Sunflower, and First Light. You guys may be far more analytical or experienced than I am. I noticed some differences but none of them are night and day. The one that has the biggest sonic improvement is Body Talk, however I couldn't tell any difference from the clips of First Light, maybe I don't know what to listen for but to my untrained ears they are identical. I will say however I replaced my 1987 issue of First Light for the 2002 issue, in which there is definitely a night and day difference between those two. The change in Beyond the Blue Horizon seems to be only in the mix, the percussion is heard in the right channel where as the 97 issue has it in the middle. Out of my own preference... I prefer the 97 issue...the percussion on one side sounds strange to me. Sunflower is the odd one. during Ron Carters bass solo, the Legacy issue includes a guitar over it. But in the masterworks version the guitar is absent! I think I remember listening to the Masterworks version of Jim Hall Concierto and comparing it the RVG remaster, and I had noticed Chet Baker appears on opposite sides on those releases. Anyway I noticed that Sony is releasing some albums from the Original Album Classics series for Deodato, which includes Prelude, Deodato 2, and Deodato and Airto In Concert http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005B7E0U8/ And George Benson which include Body Talk, White Rabbit, and Beyond the Blue Horizon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CUB728/ I have the previous Benson box which included Body Talk, Beyond the Bl... , and Bad Benson, plus two other non CTI release. But the question is will these reissues include the new Masterworks remasters.

Hey I have a quick question. Are there any differences between, the 1997 issues and the 2002-03 issues other than packaging and CD art? I have both the 1997 and 2003 issues of Skylark and Straight Life. They sound the same, but I don't know.

Yes the 2006 releases are in Jewel cases. I have a few of them, they are the "CTI Timeless Collection 40" series.

Oh, wow I post there, and I totally missed that thread! I'll re post a couple of the tracks there for comparison taken from the 2009 CTI+RVG editions.

Hello everyone. This is my first post here. I really like the stuff on the CTI label especially stuff before 1975. I have a few of the earlier issues on the Japanese labels including the Creed Taylor and Rudy Van Gelder reissues from 2009. Does these forum condone the posting of small audio samples 30-45 seconds for the sake of comparison with other releases? I'd really like to get your opinions on some of them compared to the new CTI Master Works issues. As regards Blues Moses I feel that there is more detail and warmth in the 2006 pressing.
