jazzkrow Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Hey, the Blue Note site now has 4 song samples from Van Morrison's new (and first) Blue Note cd, "What's Wrong with This Picture?" What I heard sounds like classic Morrison-soulful R & B mixed with Jazz and Blues influences. The cd will be released the 3rd week of October. I wonder what list price Blue Note will use-likely $17.98 or $18.98. I know I'll bite the bullet-can't pass up a new Morrison release AND the photo of the cover has Reid Miles type graphics! Whatever you think of Norah Jones, she sure has enriched BN's coffers to the extent that they can sign artists like Morrison. Not bad in IMHO... A few years ago I'd never imagine seeing Van Morrison on Blue Note! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 I'm eager to hear it, as well as the forthcoming Al Green. ?? Did they sign Al Green too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzkrow Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Sorry, Hans! I should have checked for a prior posting on the new Morrison-I was just so excited hearing the song samples on the BN site-hadn't noticed this was brought up before. Van delivers again!!

jazzkrow Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 HANS! I saw on the BN site that Morrison is playing at the Carre in Amsterdam for 3 nights in late October!! You going to go-and provide a review for us jealous Statesiders?? Van doesn't play here nearly as much since he moved back to Europe!

wesbed Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Here is a short interview with Van Morrison at the USA Today site. It contains a little blurb about why he signed with Blue Note. http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/20...rrison-qa_x.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
