From what I remember, Barclay used their Prestige collaboration to release ten-inchers only in the '50s! La Voix de Son Maitre which took over the Prestige distribution in the early '60s released twelve-inchers with local made covers and pressings.
Yes, Patrick gave the go-ahead to the 'Sentiers Qui Bifurquent' release and then changed his mind!
Hope we will see these discs some day. On another label?
To follow up on previous posters, now playing:
Kenny Dorham 'Matador' (United Artists, France, mono)
the French issue had a very nice shot of KD by Jean-Pierre Leloir!
The Wilen family (actually Barney's son) was not involved in the 'Sentiers Qui Bifurquent' CD release!
The 'Estate' seems to have a very close look at anything that is connected to Barney Wilen these days!
If you have that 'Le Jardin aux Sentiers Qui Bifurquent' CD, hang on to it! There won't be any more in that series.
The Wilen 'Estate' forbade the release of the other albums
Love that record!
That's one album that becomes even more beautiful at each spinning!
Now playing another classic:
Barney Kessel 'The Poll Winners' (Contemporary/King Japan, stereo)
It's listenable but nowhere near essential...
Kenny Burrell's vocalizing skills do not match his guitar-playing ones!
I like Bobby Jaspar's flute playing on this date. This was the main reason I got the vinyl reissue of this session.
Just as good and thrilling was 'Straight Ahead, a sort of companion piece to 'Screamin' the Blues' with the same crew but without Richard Williams! Roy Haynes' drumming on those two was outstanding!
Also on Prestige/New Jazz.
I prefer 'Leroy Walks!' to 'Leroy Walks Again!!' but this one also has Teddy Edwards plus Freddy Hill on trumpet.
Not that many records featuring Hill!
If the price is right...
No fresh releases so far but they have taken care of putting some of their earlier releases back on the market, which shows in the well-stocked Classics bins in several record stores here.
