Quasimado Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Amazon has just cancelled my pre-order for this album. It was supposed to have been reissued on November 21st in Japan. Can anyone tell me if this album was reissued, and where I can get a copy? Garth. It was part of a series of 20 lesser known Atlantics, put together by 2 identities on the Japanese Jazz scene. Release of the series was originally planned for November, then put off till January. Now the Warner Music Japan site says release has been postponed. I can't imagine it will just disappear, as it had some publicity, and the compilers are well known ... Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiroshi Tanno told me essentially the same thing, and promised me a copy when it is finally available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I've said it here before , but I wish Mosaic would see fit to present some of Russo's non-Kenton work such as this Atlantic , the two Roulette sides , and the London session that was on Fred Miles' FM label . World of Alcina has three unissued numbers ; would be a nice surprise if they had somehow survived Atlantic's vault fire . While we're on the subject of Bill Russo , has anyone here picked up the Fresh Sound CD of Something New , Something Blue ? I'm curious about the sound quality .

The sound quality is so-so .. better than my scratchy original vinyl, but I have a feeling that this reissue was made from a vinyl copy ... this important album obviously needs a remastered reissue ... will Columbia ever do it? Probably not in my lifetime... How about the John Lewis material on Columbia ... The Jazz Orchestra U.S.A. sides and especially P.O.V. ??

ghost of miles Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 If you ever get word of those Jazz Orchestra U.S.A. sides ever resurfacing, garthsj, please give me a holler! Was the Weill reissue originally on Columbia? The CD came from Koch, iirc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the Weill reissue originally on Columbia? The CD came from Koch, iirc.... "The Sextet of Orchestra USA Plays 'Mack The Knife'" was originally on RCA , and was reissued on French BMG. (I am holding it in my hand as I write this ... ) What a lineup ... Mike Zwerin, Nick Travis, Eric Dolphy, John Lewis, Richard Davis, and Connie Kay ... "The Debut Recording of Orchestra USA" was reissued by LonhehillJazz in 2004. This CD has both the mono and stereo versions, providing 75:56 minutes of music, and well worth getting. This is the only Orchestra USA material that I know of on CD ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I agree with you Garth ; If Sony/Columbia can't even see their way to giving us a proper CD reissue of Mingus' Let My Children Hear Music , then there can't be much hope of their reissuing the Russo , let alone something like the Bob Prince .
