Recommended Posts

I got this list a few days ago - I don't know why I didn't post it straight away.

BN Internal 4/1/2007. RVG schedule. Internal use only. Cat. numbers unconfirmed.

October 2007

Frank Foster, The House That Love Built (unreleased January 1969 date) Who cares?

Sam Rivers, Dimensions and Extensions

Ornette Coleman, New York Calling 2CD (New York is Now! and Love Call with extra tracks)

Pete La Roca, Basra (finally)

Leo Parker, Rollin with Leo

Wayne Shorter, Odyssey of Iska

November 2007

Baby Face Willette, Face to Face

Jackie McLean, Bluesnik (about time)

Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims (ta da!)

Cliff Jordan (BLP 1565)

Dodo Greene, My Hour of Need

Stanley Turrentine, Up At Minton's (one CD edition - edited down to make it less tedious)

I am a bad man.

But hey, they should put me in charge at Blue Note, right?

How about a 2CD of the Dexter Gordon Keystone Sessions? I haven't actually heard these, so I'm open to being convinced that they are not worth of reissue.

They're great, but there's three discs of material and it's all available as a Mosaic Select set already. :D

Thanks - I really haven't followed the Mosaic Select series very closely. Too overwhelming.

Yes, that's right. This batch has been selected and produced by myself. :crazy:

Unfortunately, I didn't consult David Ayers beforehand. A splendid list, his, though he neglected to mention the previously unissued track on the Ornette session. It's a 3:17 "outtake" of studio chatter. Ornette and Dewey are discussing their favorite roast for coffee while waiting for Elvin to set his kit up. With the RVG treatment, Ornette's consonants come through, perhaps for the first time, with amazing clarity.

The question on everyone's mind--what's the roast?

I just came across a session that I'd like to see reissued as an RVG with the additional track (that's not on the TOCJ disc):

Thad Jones Sextet

Thad Jones (tp) Benny Powell (tb) Gigi Gryce (as) Tommy Flanagan (p) George Duvivier (b) Elvin Jones (d)

Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, NJ, February 2, 1957

tk.5 Slipped Around Blue Note BLP 1546

tk.6 Going Off Stage Mosaic MQ5-172

tk.9 Let's Blue Note BLP 1546

tk.10 Ill Wind -

tk.14 Thadrack -

* The Magnificent Thad Jones, Vol. 3 (Blue Note BLP 1546)

* The Complete Blue Note/United Artists/Roulette Recordings Of Thad Jones (Mosaic MQ5-172, MD3-172)

I really like Detroit - New York Junction and this is the last Thad Jones BN that hasn't come out in the US and Europe yet. Would be great to see an RVG of this as that bonus track has only been issued as part of the Mosaic set.
