Well, I think they're walking the line. They offer the music and an undersized cover . . . They figure if you don't like that you'll track down an import or OOP cd. . .
Actually seems to me that Verve is utilizing also items recently remastered and released in Japan (the Basies and a few others). . . .
Interesting! Waste not want not!
A bit of this material came out on cd in Japan last year.
Some of us got these and now are facing the prospect of getting a Mosaic!
Haven't they heard the song "Don't be cruel to a heart that's true?"
I guess I could have more clearly said "Still to come" as I know of no plans to release more of the material, but really want more of the Savoy out on cd.
In time, I hope. I have lps . . . some a little worn.
Yesterday, cduniverse shipped me these four for #13.29 each.
Tes Estat by Shorter, Alan
Uhuru Na Umoja by Wright, Fran
Roswell Rudd by Rudd, Roswell
Black Gipsy by Shepp, Archie
I'm set for a while!
From Impulse there is at the least:
A Flat, G Flat and C
Jazz From Around the World
There are several Savoy titles to come out as well (I'm actually more looking for these on cd, I like the Savoys a hair better).
You're right about Androids, a closer adaptation of the book would have made quite a different movie!
Here's a thread about the upcoming Scanner movie:
