clandy44 Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Anyone heard these Japanese reissues and have an opinion on sound/performances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.D. Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) These are also available fron Ocium, both recordings on one disc. These were originally two LPs Jam Session #3 & #4 , though from Ocium's approach they call it Jam Session #1. You can get these for about$12.00. Ocium, also released another set which was the next Granz Jam Session, combined with Jazz Studio one.. Not a Granz organised event, but one which I believe to be the very first deliberately studio arranged jam. This I think is it's very first CD issue. There is a box set of the Granz sessions scheduled for the fall. Any of these will be a lot les than a Japanese tssue, and unless you have to have a replica LP, I'd settle for the Ociums, or wait for the verve. Sound on the Ociums is fine.. but then I'm not a SACD addict The cover art is a bit lame, hardly David Stone Martin, but then the original verve DSM cover wasn't one of his best.

jlhoots Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Yes- thanks. I bought the Ocium today. The Japanese reissues (? due Aug. 9) I've seen listed at $26.99 (U.S.) & up. In addition the 2 combined on the Ocium are being issued separately. I think I just saved $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.D. Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Then seek this one out It's the Granz Jam Session #5.. Jammin' for Clef & Rose Room Hampton, Roy, Flip, Illinois, Oscar, Ray and Buddy Not as good as the Basies, but still good. Jammin' a fast take on Rhythm changes seems a little fast for Hodges It's combined with Jazz Studio One A bit of a strange combo.. but excellent session Joe Newman, Bennie Green, Paul Quinichette< Frank Foster, Hank Jones, Johnny Smith, , Eddie Jones and Kenny Clarke Tenderley and a blues.. Let's Split This has not been on CD, and a clean vinyl copy is not that easy either. Guarantee if you like the Granz Jams, this will be right up your alley. And you can have them both for the price of one Japanese CD I suspect Ocium will continue to release the Granz sessions.. and as Jam Sessio #1 & #2 were the Parkers. and have been issued often, verve will have to pull something special out of the hat to get me to buy theirs. According to the dicographies there is only one " unissued" Jam, recorded much later than the others weith Sweets, Pres and Jummy Rushing... but I doubt we will see that one. There's a thread on the board about the upcoming verve set which lists all that Granz recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
