Fresh Sound and the Bobby Scott Mystery

[garthsj]

I also posted this to the Westcoast jazz list this morning, but for the few west coast fans on this list (Hi Chewy!) I thought that I would pose this question here as well ..

I realize that most of you probably get this list, but for the few who don't, here is the latest release sheet from Fresh Sound and assorted Andorrean affiliates. These catalogs are filing some significant gaps, but also creating quite a bit of overlap ... For example, how many versions of the Urbie Green material has been reissued in the last six months ... can anyone sort out these various CDs? I think that one has to buy three or four Urbie Green CDs to get all of the material but that also gives about 60% overlap!

On to Bobby Scott. I have always wondered why of all of the "great" west coast jazz recordings, the album that Bobby Scott did for Bethlehem remains un-reissued? The music on this album is a prime example of what we would consider to be the "west coast" sound, and features on eight cuts Candoli, Rosolino, Giuffre, Scott (p), Max Bennett, and Stan Levey. On the 12" version (BCP8), there are five additional cuts from a great "east coast" group including Eddie Bert, Hal McKusick (whose music thankfully is now being appreciated by a younger generation of jazz aficionados), Milt Hinton, and Osie Johnson. Maybe this album has just gone under Jordi's radar ... if so, can someone bring it to his attention. It has never, to my limited knowledge, ever been reissued as a CD in any of the many, often frustrating, attempts to reissue the Bethlehem label.

Garth,

Houston.
