Swinging Swede

Japanese reissues have occasionally included extra material - like the George Shearing that was discussed recently - but mostly not. In that case one can hope that TOCJ 50156 is a Volume 2 with unreleased material...

It was the first album he recorded for Capitol (but not the first released). It is a fine live album with his sextet with Charles Lloyd and Joe Zawinul. The style is still similar to the Riversides that preceded it. It was recorded over three nights in July-August 1964 at Shelly's Manne-Hole, so one could hope that more exists in the Capitol vaults than the five tracks that were on the LP.

While it is great that this album finally is coming out on CD, I'm not sure that I need it twice!

Well, Miles had a Cannonball in his band after all. That would be of no use without also having a cannon.

Actually there is quite some discographical confusion regarding these late Basie Victor sessions. It is not impossible that Classics took the purported earlier take from the French LP, and that the latter simply had it wrong. I am reminded of something I posted about a few years ago and Classics purports to have the issued vocal take of If You See My Baby from 6 February 1950, but actually plays an instrumental take with different solos. An instrumental take is listed as unissued in Lord, but it is obviously not. Classics must have gotten it from somewhere, thinking that it was the issued take, and the main suspect has to be once again the French LP. Neatwork apparently realized this error on Classics's part (but not the earlier Jackie Robinson one) and included the vocal take of If You See My Baby in their series of CDs with alternate takes. Which has caused Lord to list this as a second vocal take with an unknown take number, but, although I haven't heard the Neatwork CD, it most likely has the regular vocal take. There are other cases where Classics inadvertently released alternate takes, in which case Neatwork released the actual master take.

That is actually the originally unissued slower version from 29 June 1949 (it first appeared on a French LP). The issued faster version was recorded on 13 July 1949. Classics 1107 purports to have both, but erroneously plays the issued faster version twice. The original was recorded by Buddy Johnson for Decca on 7 June 1949.

This thread makes me think of Louis Armstrong's "And I was born in Ireland, ha ha!" (on Irish Black Bottom with his Hot Five).

"Mary Lou Williams!" - Woody Herman during Nat Pierce's piano solo on Opus De Funk... And how about "Oh, play that thing!" on King Oliver's Dippermouth blues!? It became so associated with the tune that dixieland bands still exclaim it.

I must test that. I can see it. But perhaps that is only because I had it loaded already?

They have not released anything from the 1958 festival so far. I wonder if they have it.

Agree! Can't imagine those sides any other way now.

For those who thought that Nakamura wouldn't reach the absolute world elite, he is now 6th in the world with an Elo rating of 2770. On another note, Gelfand qualified to become the next challenger to Anand's WC crown. After all the talk about the younger generations born in the 80s and 90s, it is actually two guys born in the 60s that will play the next WC match!

So for example, here is German: Icelandic: Chinese: Arabic:

Columbo was a great series, and yes, very popular in Europe too. One day I will have to get it on DVD, or whatever the currently fashionable format will be.

One of the weirdest cases is Modern Jazz Quartet's Odds Against Tomorrow on United Artists, on which a microphone is picking up a radio station. This is even mentioned on the Blue Note CD reissue.

Interesting releases! I too am curious what will be on the Christian.

Me too. It has gotten good reviews and is easy on the resources. And it does not pop up messages saying that this or that has been blocked, as commercial antivirus programs tend to do to prove their worth. It stays in the background and does its job.

This happened on some OJC reissues. For example, the original Swingville LP Night Hawk had five tracks. It was later reissued on Prestige PR 7671 with a sixth track from the same session (a different composition, not an alternate take), but when the OJC CD came out, it only included the original five tracks. I guess someone in the chain didn't research properly. Just looking in a standard discography before doing a reissue would reveal these things.
