Chuck Nessa Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Don't know if they are that great, but I'd probably pick them up if they came out as a Conn, esp. if it fit on one CD. Eric There is a good excuse to reissue this material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric There is a good excuse to reissue this material. Perhaps I could have phrased it differently and asked if people knew how this material stacked up against Solomon Ilori's African High Life and the Blakey material like Holiday for Skins (both of which I bought). There must be some kind of market for percussion-heavy material or they wouldn't keep releasing it. Also, MC has been going through the Imperial catalog recently, but he had better step it up if he wants to stay ahead of Lonehill et al.

Personally, I'm not overly enthusiastic about the Solomon Ilori album. I guess I find it more "interesting" than "enjoyable". Can't help you with an opinion on the Ukonu albums, though.

clifford_thornton Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 there must be a reason that kenny cox isnt on cd. maybe they lost the tapes or they dont think anyone will ever buy it-- besides you fine chaps of course I thought it was going to be a Collector's Choice or whatever... Multidirection is great; haven't heard the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multidirection is great; haven't heard the first one. Haven't had "Collector's Choice" issues in about 20 years. Clifford, do you know what the "CC" series was? Edit to say: Understanding the various reissue series is more important than understanding music. OTOH, do you know what the "whatever" series is?

Bluerein Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Leon Henderson couldn't handle the pressure of being the Great saxophonists brother so he stopt playing altogether after some more playing (and album) with Cox. Just noticed a track from 1983 in the Lord disco also with Cox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al in NYC Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 That's at the San Francisco Conservatory, no? I believe it's the Belle Isle Conservatory in Detroit. I'd really love to see Kenny's old albums back out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Al — Detroit makes sense. My "West Coast" mind was in operation when making that guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Make some room after your COL-trane (or COR-ea or COT-trell) section in your cd rack. It looks like the Kenny COX two-fer is a "definite" for the 2007 Connoisseur series — says The Source in Connecticut. This, of course, is still "unofficial" — at least until the bar codes come out. (Hopefully I won't be shamed by our leading Blue Note Insidemen on this board for posting this.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Wow - Great news!!! Any word on Tyrone Washington for this next round of Conns?? Especially some or all of the unreleased session (i.e. "Trainwreck") as bonus tracks??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Any word on Tyrone Washington for this next round of Conns? No word that I've heard. The only two that have been given the go-ahead (as far as I know) are Andrew Hill's Change (with Sam Rivers), and Kenny Cox's Introducing-Multidirection. I'll be getting both for sure. That leaves four more titles ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm just full of questions, Late. Will the Kenny Cox be one or two discs?? (I'm understanding both his albums will be released together.) Doesn't matter - I'll be getting it for sure, either way. But my pocketbook will prefer a single-disc version to say the least. Glad to hear about Hill's "Change" seeing the light of day as a single-disc issue. I've got the Mosaic, but anytime there's more Hill out there for people to buy, it's a happy day.

Late Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 To my knowledge (and I think this was commented on earlier), the Cox will be one disc, with everything fitting in. (Now watch, a guy risks sharing some information he gets in an e-mail from Cuscuna ... the information is somewhat premature ... and I'm banned. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think people are going to be pretty impressed with this proposed Kenny Cox reissue. I've had the two Liberty vinyls for some years now and really like them. Very much 'out of' 60s Miles Davis in style. Will that Frank Foster also include the 'Manhattan Fever'? (also a nice one very worthy of reissue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcd74 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 What do people think are the chances of Bobby Hutcherson's Total Eclipse being released as an RVG or a Connoisseur in the future. It's one of the few 60's Blue Notes left that hasn't been reissued in the last couple of years. Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Would have to be an RVG, since it's already been released domestically before (as a McMaster, if I remember correctly). Would seem like pretty good odds it would eventually be reissued as an RVG. At least 50/50 odds within the next 3-5 years, I would think -- maybe even slightly better odds than that, perhaps.
