TOCJ 66387 Charlap,Bill(p)/Autumn in New York 2500

I wonder if this is different from Charlap's "Live at the Village Vanguard" that has just been released. I hope it is. I'm always ready for more Charlap -- esp. in a trio setting.

It could be the same recording. I haven't found an english tracklist, but both CDs have 9 tracks and the lenght of the tracknames in japanese (whose characters only display as cubes in my browser) on the japanese CD are similar to the english tracklist of the US CD.

There's an Eric Alexander 'Sunday in New York' mini-lp being released at about the same time. Sounds as though some wires got crossed somewhere along the line?

Don't know anything about the Gonsalves....any online preview clips that you know of? I'd like to hear a few notes.

Weizen — look for sound samples of the first "Impressed" compilation by Gilles Peterson. It has one track from the Gonsalves album (a very nice swinger). If that track is any indication, the album should be fine indeed. The sound too (at least on that one track) is excellent.

Found it on Vol 2........sounds excellent! Had never heard of those compilations before....thanks. I also checked out -- and very much enjoyed -- that one number by the Michael Garrick Trio ('First Born'). Think I'll need to get that cd as well.

the charlap in question is simply the japanese issue of the new vanguard disc. note the catalog number.

Why not e-mail Hiroshi Tanno: hiroshi@earlyrecords.com - he takes PayPal and his shipping rates are quite reasonable.

Glad to see the Paul Gonsalves 'Boom Jackie - Boom Chick' becoming available.

When was this recorded and what label was it on originally? AMG isn't helpful.

Will any kind soul answer my query???

Will any kind soul answer my query?

I would imagine that the new Japanese Konitz/Half Note reissue is identical in content to the original U.S. version. There might be a new remastering with this set, but that's just a guess.

The music is terrific, and the sound (on the U.S. edition) is really quite good for a live recording. If you haven't yet heard this set, and like the Tristano school in general, you'll want to get the package at some point, though 3900¥ is fairly pricey. Maybe getting the U.S. edition used is the way to go?

Thanks Late, I believe this is the session where Tristano was really into Warne Marsh's solos when he heard a personal copy, and in a round about way, this got the session released, or am I confusing it with something else?

On July 18, 2007

UCCM 9242 Gonsalves,Paul(ts)/Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick* 2300

UCCM 9243 Ross,Ronnie(bs)/Cleopatra's Needle* 2300

So how limited were these things anyway!?!? I am trying to get a copy and so far, Hiroshi can only get me the Ronnie Ross CD. Does anyone know where I can order a copy of the Gonsalves disc? Did they print like 500 copies? One month's stock?

[Bluerein]

To make sure I get them I always preo-rder these kind of issues from Japan with Hiroshi. I once missed the Ronnie Foster - Cheshire Cat TOCJ which I ordered when it came out (together with the rest of the batch) and it never came. It was also rarely on eBay. That one must have been printed in small quatities as well (finally did manage to get it for top dollar on eBay).

[Kyo]

Whoa, how could I have missed this until now?

Konitz, Marsh, Evans, Garrison and Motian - what a band!

Good thing there was an excellent used copy on ebay.de, grabbed it right away!

So can someone confirm on which tracks Jack Sharpe is on tenor? He's clearly on Coltrane's "Village Blues" (#3), but I'm not sure if one of the tenor solos on #8 is him, too... anyone?

By the way, Sharpe "supervised" the session and he's the "Jackie" from the title tune. Gonsalves died in Sharpe's flat, he was one of the closest friends of Gonsalves', it seems.

from the linernotes:

"As the last track was Paul's choice, the next one Village Blues was Pat Smythe's. Long a fervent admirer of John Coltrane, Pat suggested this Coltrane original, as he had always wanted to hear how this blues would sound fashioned by the Gonsalves method. To make up the voicing that Paul thought this number required another tenor was added for this track. A bystander who happened to be in the studio was used, no one knew his name -- but all the boys agreed that he was indeed a real 'sharp cat' if they ever heard one. He is to be heard again for a fleeting second on the final bars of You Are Too Beautiful."

Thanks! I read on the blogity sphere that this was Sharpe (or was it in the AAJ-britjazz thread? Found it via google is all I remember). Sharpe also does a short appearance on the other Vocalion album of Gonsalves' that's been on CD thanks to Dutton (don't have it yet, though).
