felser Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Eric Dolphy -- Magic Art Farmer -- Meet the Jazztet Max Roach -- Freedom Now Suite George Russell -- Jazz in the Space Age On the plus side, the Modern Jazz Quartet's "European Concert" is finally getting released on 11/15. I don't know if anybody else is excited about this, but I am. ← Dolphy's 'Magic' was a 70's twofer reissue of Eric Dolphy - 'Far Cry' and Ron Carter 'Where'. Both of those titles have been available for many years as part of the OJC reissue series on Fantasy (now owned by Concord). You shouldn't have any problem finding them.

Guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Excellent -- I didn't know that the Dolphy album was a comp -- I just saw it in Dolphy's catalog and knew I didn't have it. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Art Farmer -- Meet the Jazztet This was available on CD a few years ago, and is included in the Mosaic Art Farmer/Benny Golson box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micha Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 The 1990 issue of the Freedom Now Suite is available from candidrecords.com if you don't mind shipping costs from the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Max Roach -- Freedom Now Suite George Russell -- Jazz in the Space Age The Roach was reissued on CD and, according to the Candid Records website, it is still available. The Russell was reissued in GRP's Chessmates series, but is probably OOP (GRP 18262). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) I could swear I saw a CD of the George Russell at some point, probably on the Dusty Groove site... Edit: A recent issue, in digipak form. Not the GRP. Edited October 19, 2005 by clifford_thornton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill B Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 "European Concerts" was released on defunct Label M several years ago.Perhaps there are some copies available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I just picked up a copy of the George Russell CD about a month ago (GRP version -- still sealed). Copies may be still out there even though its OOP. Happy Hunting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Like an idiot, I bought the 'iTunes-only' version of the Russell, without checking to see if I could hunt down the CD. Why am I an idiot? Because, as posted elsewhere, the iTunes version is defective: the breaks in the tracks are not at the proper place, e.g. the ending of track 1 is located at the beginning of track 2. Last time I buy a full album on iTunes - I'll just use it to buy alternates I don't have. As for the Roach, it can be obtained in Europe, but as discussed in another thread, it was remastered from vinyl, and a rather scratchy copy at that. Does this mean the master tapes are lost, or could they be in the hands of some private collector? Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks for the info, though I should probably make clear that if an album is not available domestically (the US), I don't consider it to be in print. I buy lots of CDS and if I got into the habit of buying everything I want that is out there -- somewhere -- I'd go broke. So, if I have to pay upwards of $30 for a CD that should cost $10, I don't consider it to exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be sad to think that it's now only available in the Mosaic box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
