ghost of miles Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 In addition to possible lack of $$ being made on the reissues themselves, I've heard (or read--memory a bit fuzzy on this) comment to the effect that the majors have hiked their licensing fees for such projects. (Maybe this came up in discussion of why Mighty Quinn hasn't done much lately.) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Water is reissuing Ornette's The Art of the Improvisors next month - with, oddly enough, two "bonus" tracks from To Whom Who Keeps a Record, which they've already reissued. So I guess they're still around - more or less. And it looks like they restored the original cover too! Sorry, I'm not one for Ornette's paintings... Not even the Empty Foxhole? That painting is cool! It's just a detail of something larger and probably not as cool. Don't get me wrong, I love abstract/modernist painting, but I see this as a diversifying of talents that should have stayed in the musical realm... just my .02, of course. Quote

I guess there must be a reason why BN chose to focus on a detail and not the whole painting Quote
