Freddie Roach/Brown Sugar (Water)

[sjarrell]

I pre-ordered at CD Universe but got the backorder email today. Anyone know what's up? Sounds delayed to me...

Don't know myself. Just wanted to say how much Water continues to amaze and surprise. Like the BN days of old. Just got a chance to really drive around and LISTEN to their reissue of Jack McDuff's "Who Knows What Tommorrow's Gonna Bring." Amazing album. Love it. Jack plays a whole lot of great stuff on the LP, and the songs and players, production and arranging is all grade A. This is the type of record we won't see again. Organ w/arranging and hipness in a popular (for the time) song-syle. Still holds up very, very, very well. Love it.

Yes, Mike, that album gets panned here but I really like it too, and something we won't see again. Long live Water!

Don't know why it would get panned. A lot of good musicians making good music. I hear quality through and through. Can't play Cherokee forever and sell records. These guys were making a record for and of their time...and they made a great one imho. Jack's smokin' on this and isn't that the point of it all?

I love Jack McDuff's Moon Rappin', and from the descriptions here this sounds to be in the same vein. Is this Roach album similar?

Up for edits...

I ordered from Dusty Groove & received shipping confirmation. It gets sent today.

[Kalo]

I saw this in person yesterday at Twisted Village, an almost painfully hip little record store in Harvard Square.

[BruceH]

Maybe it's on backorder already because too many copies were bought by painfully hip little record stores in places like Harvard Square...

[jazzbo]

I think it's a matter of cduniverse not anticipating demand from organissimoites.

[sjarrell]

I ordered a month ago! This was no stealth order.

[jazzbo]

Okay. . . well. . . they screwed up.

Plain and simple.

They've done that before. Some of us waited a long time for DETS Volume 10!

Twisted Village is one of the places I miss most now that I no longer live in Boston.

I suspect they're gettin' a little get-back since I scored one of those under-$20 Jazztet Mosaics from them last year.

I think I can live with waiting. B-)

[jazzbo]

I'm waiting too. And to think, I had placed an order with Dusty on Sunday for Vogue cds, had I known I would have included Brown Sugar too.

Lon,

I've made a habit of making an initial order with Dustygroove as a "please confirm w/me before shipping. Don't want to pay online." That way, they hold the order for a week to 10 days in order to hear back from you. Then, I add anything that comes up in the next few days to my initial order. When the week is coming to a close, I finalize the COMPLETE order with a credit card. This has saved me a LOT of extra shipping costs.

[jazzbo]

Yeah, that's probably smart.

But even so, I would have placed that order on Sunday, the end of the week!

[Man with the Golden Arm]

CDUniverse has Roach back at "ships in 1 - 2 days" status.

Twisted Village is, indeed, a great place for all your avant-music needs. Once, a few years back, I walked in there to casually peruse their used bins, hoping to find one or two interesting things. Lo and behold, there, all at once, was every Ornette record I didn't have but wanted, along with numerous other amazing free jazz things, all for less than a ten spot each.

Whenever I see a trove like this I assume that someone died. I asked the owner if that was the case. "No," he said, "but he did move to Africa."

I spent about $300 there that week.

.....instead of Vermont.

Has Brown Sugar been on CD before? Do not plan on getting it, but would like to see a scan of the packaging job Water does.

[jazzbo]

It's been a Japanese cd.

So you wanna decorate your "burn"?

Got the original vinyl spinning at 33 1/2 at the moment, old buddy. I have zero burns, other than copies from my collection that I make for the car.

Just curious how Water's quality translates to CD.

I guess THAT answered my question.
