Bluerein Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 So which ones are newly remastered? Not the ELlington's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 The ones I have purchased (Poindexter, Baileys, Rouse, Lou Levy) have all been remastered. The Ellingtons have not. Don't know about the others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerein Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 A pity they didn't include the other unissued track from the same session on the Levy disc....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 A pity they didn't include the other unissued track from the same session on the Levy disc....... Yes, they probably could not locate that missing 'Everytime W Say Goodbye'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 But Lon the Suites is also on the old Columbia CD Ellington Suites so why duplicate? For the cover? If they would issue the Nutcracker Suite as well seperately I would be tempted to do so but now....... Just because. I dislike the sound on the US cd enough to risk rebuying, and I'm not crazy about the Nutcracker and don't play it often at all. I don't have A Drum is a Woman in any cd format except a cdr from my lp. . . . Makes sense to me to buy these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerein Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 It's my guess these Jazz Originals use the same remasterings as the US ones (beside the newly remastered ones of course) so don't expect anything different. You do get a nice front cover which is worth something as well. The Drum album is a different matter. I didn't have that one so I took that one too (regardless of the remastering).

jazzbo Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I've never heard a Jazz Original that copied US sound, but there's a first time for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 The 'Drum Is a Woman' CD is out now. It is a straight reissue of the previous 'Jazz Originals' series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montg Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Cool. My copy is flying my way. Lon, You've been waiting for decent reissue of Ellington's 'Drum' for awhile, iirc, hope this works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) I ordered the A Drum is a Woman and the Suites from amazon.fr The 'Drum Is a Woman' CD is out now. It is a straight reissue of the previous 'Jazz Originals' series. Strangely, it's not available through amazon anymore, except for 1 copy at the amazon.fr marketplace. Not available at cduniverse, worldsrecords or any other of my usual online sellers. OK, now I found it at FNAC.fr What kind of distribution is this?

jazzbo Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Dusty Groove has it now too, or did have it, something like that. I got it from France a while back and have really been enjoying it. I'd love to have a domestic reissue, expanded (at one time it was going to be a two cd set) but the word from Cuscuna (via Belden) is: not planned at this time.

ejp626 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Dusty Groove seems to have the whole bunch. I ordered Yeah (for pick-up) and will decide if I want any of the others when I drop by. I have Indigos and Drum is a Woman on LP so I'm not really that jazzed about buying them again.

That's a disappointment ... I still hope for a Mosaic single of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 A Mosaic release is "not planned." (I'd rather have the originally planned two cd expanded version from Columbia, which is also not planned). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Jazz Messengers is offering "Drum Is A Woman" on a Jazz Track label (?). Is Definitive/Absolute emporium already ripping off the Epic France reissue? http://www.jazzmessengers.com/ProductInfo.asp?ref=117191 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember their robbery with the Diz&Bird disc on Uptown? Not identical cases, as that was "fresh" material, but... that synchronization is highly suspicious, to say the least!

Pretty sure the Jazz Track label had no idea that it would come out at the same time on Epic/Columbia France. The Diz&Bird Uptown robbery was a different matter since the Uptown disc was first released a while back, not fifty years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hey, this is not a pro-Def vs anti-Def match! Just thought this coincidence of release dates was really suspicious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swinging Swede Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Jazz Messengers is offering "Drum Is A Woman" on a Jazz Track label (?). Is Definitive/Absolute emporium already ripping off the Epic France reissue? http://www.jazzmessengers.com/ProductInfo.asp?ref=117191 It should however be noted that the Jazz Track version has a bonus track, Pomegranate, from 7 March 1957. It's one of Duke's many non-album tracks from the 1956-62 Columbia period, and was only released many years later on a French CBS set. The "Andorrans" seem to start a new label every month. Now it's Jazz Track; other very recent labels include Jazz Collectors, Fine And Mellow and Jazz Beat. On the Jazz Beat label we also have The Complete Ellington Indigos. In addition to the original album there are eight bonus tracks, two non-album tracks and six alternate takes, expanding the CD to 79 miniutes. This also just came out in in the Jazz Originals series, but without the bonus tracks. It wouldn't surprise me if we soon would see a Such Sweet Thunder release from them, but with the correct take of Up And Down, Up And Down (Schaap managed to include the wrong take on the official CD).
