Bluesnik Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 These are a must for me and I think I'll go for the Lonehills. Much as I'd love to get the Japanese sound and packaging I'm not willing to spend more than four times what the Lonehills would cost me. And there are enough other Japanese things I want to pick up. So as long as I have a decent alternative I think I will decide against them. I have been listening to the Jazz Lab reissue for a couple of weeks now and I'm more than satisfied with the sound. It still breaks my heart though to let them pass me by and I still catch myself with "and if...?" thoughts from time to time. It's different when there's no alternative to that compilation format, except maybe vinyl. And I also dislike the way they throw those albums together. I'm a sucker for 50s album artwork and facsimile editions and love having everything in original packaging and sequence. But I guess if they can't use the original artwork and reproduce the album release as it was in the day they want to go the added value route and sell it from a "complete whatever" or compiled sessions angle. How did they do those Jubilee, Dootoo, Dawn et al. reissues before though, I ask myself? Or the recent Crown Conte Candoli or the Johnny Mehegan Quartet I'm planning to pick up*? I think I know the answer ... * I knew nothing about that one before checking AMG. In the book or the Penguin I couldn't find him. But Kenny Dorham as sideman (and the cover, I must admit)called my attention. I'll see. Maybe I post something in the Artist forum to find out... Quote
medjuck Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 From where can I order a copy of the japanese version of Jazz Studio 2? Do I have to get it from Japan? Quote
ghost of miles Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Interesting side-note about David Amram: he was much involved with the 1959 Beat film Pull My Daisy, for which Kerouac did the narration. I'll be featuring the Jazz Studio sessions on Night Lights at the beginning of each month throughout the summer: Saturday, June 4--Jazz Studio 1 and 2 Saturday, July 2--Jazz Studio 3 & 4 Saturday, August 6--Jazz Studio 5 & 6 Quote
Bill Fenohr Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 (edited) Hey Ghost, what versions are you going to use? The Lonehill set is rough in spots. Theirs is done from records and some of them are not in the greatest shape. The Amram has a spot that is just horrible. Edited May 20, 2005 by Bill Fenohr Quote

I can't rememeber the exact line. I'l have to see if I still have any of my kids' old tapes. Or ask my wife-- who has a much better memory for lyrics than I do. A friend of mine who was driving cab in Toronto during the 70's once phoned to excitedly tell me that he'd just picked up David Amram and Rambling Jack Elliot in front of Rochdale College-- a place notorioius for drugs at the time.

They were about $20 a pop through Mr. Tanno, but worth it, I think. Quote
AllenLowe Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Raffi sang: "A peanut butter sandwhich filled with jam, one for me, and one for David Amram" to the tune of Arkansas Traveller. I never liked Amram much. His jazz playing is really very mediocre, the worst kind of dabbling, IMHO - Quote
neveronfriday Posted May 28, 2005 Report Posted May 28, 2005 Just got my Jazz Studio 1/2/3/4/5/6 and Jazz Lab 1&2 from Caiman (the Lone Hill Jazz releases). Wonderful stuff. Delivery was very fast (as usual), the booklets are not bad at all for that price, and I'm beginning to notice that these Lone Hill people are doing a really good job. I've got a bunch of their other releases and, so far, no dud among them. Recommended. Quote
sidewinder Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 Very late to this thread but I have just picked up for a good price the Lonehill 'Jazz Studio 3/4' and 'Jazz Studio 5/6'. The sound seems to be fine on these. It's whetted my appetite - I'll have to pick up the other 4 in the 'John Graas Project' and have a listed to Ghost's archived shows. Too bad that Mosaic didn't get there before Lonehill though and give it the 5-star treatment. Quote

ghost of miles Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Sidewinder, I'll probably be doing a program on Graas this summer that uses those John Graas Project CDs. Picked up another one recently--COLLEGE GOES TO JAZZ--that was inexplicably put out under Jack Sheldon's name, even though he appears on only three of the CD's 22 tracks. Quote
sidewinder Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) Thanks, Ghost - I'll look forward to that one. Yes, I noticed that the Jack Sheldon was Vol 6 in the John Graas Project. I wonder how Lonehill think these up, pretty skimpy connections to Graas at best. Just been playing the Jazz Studio 6 Amram/Barrow set. Nice work by Amram and George Barrow is one heck of an under-rated player. His playing on this disk complements nicely the fine work with Mingus at the Bohemia. Full of interesting ideas and smoothly articulated. A good disk, this one ! Edited January 16, 2006 by sidewinder Quote

Quote: "Rochdale College is the University of Toronto's first co-op residence, Canada's first free university and, before long, the country's most notorious den of iniquity. Rochdale opens in the spring of 1968 as an experiment in co-operative living and student-centred education. But this university offers no structured courses, curriculum, exams, or degrees. On CBC Radio, Rochdale residents and resource people in the flush of excitement discuss what Rochdale means to them." ......... Anyone could obtain a BA from Rochdale by donating $25 to the college and answering a skill-testing question, such as "What is the capital of Canada?" An MA was earned by donating $50. A skill-testing question still had to be answered, but the applicant got to pick the question. A PhD could be had for $100, no questions asked." Edited January 16, 2006 by sidewinder Quote
