Head Man Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Does anyone know why so few of these records have ever been re-issued on CD? I'm thinking particularly of two Woody Shaw albums - 'Master of the Art' & 'Night Music' plus one by Chico Freeman - 'Tradition in Transition' which I have on vinyl and would like to replace. The two Woody Shaw's were produced by Michael Cuscuna and I know he was very fond of Woody so I presume there must be a good reason why these have never seen the light of day. I seem to recall that a couple of Bill Evans' - 'Edition One & Two' were re-released a few years ago on Elektra so I presume someone must still have some master tapes.

EKE BBB Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 FWIW, here´s a complete list of the Elektra/Musicians catalogue, from the Jazz Labels Listing Project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Blue Note put out the Evans records. The Hubbard, Gordon and Powell have also come out on different labels. I think the Sphere records have too. I would also love to see the Shaw. Edited August 24, 2006 by Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) The Bill Evans discs are on Warner CDs, at least in Europe. Other albums which were reissued on CD are: - Charlie Parker: One Night In Washington (Blue Note, expanded) - John McLaughlin: My Goals Beyond (Rykodisc) - Steps Ahead: Steps Ahead (Elektra) Collectables has recently reissued some of the Elektra sessions These three were available on Nonesuch CDs: - Julius Hemphill: Big Band - Bill Frisell: Before We Were Born - World Saxophone Quartet: Rhythm & Blues This is all from memory, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Eric Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) FWIW, here´s a complete list of the Elektra/Musicians catalogue, from the Jazz Labels Listing Project And I would love to see the Clifford Brown live stuff, the Joe Albany and the Kevin Eubanks. And the Griffith Park material. And the first Chico Freeman (did not like the second). Now that I think about it, the Tyner session has come out on Collectables as well. I am pretty sure that both the Jimmy Smiths are out too - one just recently on Wounded Bird. Edited August 24, 2006 by Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Man Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) No mention of the Woody Shaw & Chico Freeman recordings. Does anyone have any information on why these have never seen the light of day on CD? Edited August 25, 2006 by Head Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
