Woody Shaw Concert Ensemble/Berliner Jazztage bonus material?

[Rooster_Ties]

This AMG review of "Concert Ensemble at the Berliner Jazztage" says it was reissued in 2006 with bonus material. Any truth to it?? And if so, what specific release?? And what's extra material??

Review by Scott Yanow

The Woody Shaw Quintet (featuring the trumpeter/leader, altoist René McLean, pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Stafford James and drummer Louis Hayes) were joined by tenor saxophonist Frank Foster and trombonist Slide Hampton for this frequently exciting and often quite advanced Berlin concert. The obscure originals are given lengthy treatment (Joe Chambers' "Hello to the Wind" is nearly 17 minutes long) and yet there are no slow moments. The solos are uniformly creative and often quite explorative. [Concert Ensemble at the Berliner Jazztage was reissued on CD in 2006 and contains bonus tracks.]

Is somebody at AMG (and I'm NOT accusing Scott, cuz anybody could have edited the review) maybe confusing this with the CD reissue of "Stepping Stones" - which does have bonus material?? The AMG says the Stepping Stones CD came out in 2005, but that's probably close enough to '06 to be the source of the error.

Or is there really more material from "Berliner Jazztage" out there???

(None of the on-line Woody Shaw discographies/sessionographies have any extra material listed.)

Probably my favorite Woody Shaw leader date, for a variety of reasons.

Not to rag on the AMG too much. After all, it's worth every penny I've ever paid for it.

Considering all the people who edit the thing, it's no wonder there's errors. That said, it's still a valuable tool 90% of the time or more.

Another clue -- there's a "Japanese issue" listed (HERE), which says the exact same thing as the main AMG entry. But then under "Releases" (under this 2nd, Japanese entry), it says...

Year -- Type ------ Label ------ Catalog #

2006 --- CD --- Pony Canyon - 30031

Edit: The UPC appears to be "4988013287501". A google search on that number gave 40+ hits, none of which have any more than 4 tracks. (Many didn't have any tracks listed at all, but about 20 of them did -- and all 20 were 4-track CD's.)

By the way, is this 2006 Japanese issue the only SINGLE DISC issue of this material??

(I know about the 32Jazz "two-fer" coupled with "The Iron Men" -- I've got one.)

Shame this material isn't more available for people.

Guess no bonus material.
