paul secor Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 A number of Why Not recordings are being reissued in February. http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?styl...ch_Info=Why+Not Haven't heard the George Cables, but Air Song and Tell Us Only the Beautiful Things are highly recommended (at least by me), and Morning Prayer is probably my favorite Chico Freeman.

AndrewHill Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Never heard of this label...are they similar to the Difinitive/Lone Hill group? Wasn't Air Song originally on India Navigation? Did they buy/lease the rights to release this one on cd? The prices seem fair enough. Curious about the remastering. Sorry for all the questions Quote

Sorry for all the questions No connection to the Andorrans. Why Not was a Japanese label that originally issued these titles on vinyl in the mid 1970s. India Navigation leased Air Song for their release. No idea about the remastering. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 The new reissues arrive via Candid. Quote
Joe Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 24-bit remasters of many (if not all of these) were released in Japan several years ago. Nice to see them made more widely available again, and at domestic prices. Perhaps Candid will eventually get around to all of these (more Dickerson, a nice Ted Curson session, Muhal's AFRISONG...)

AndrewHill Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the responses. Did not know that IN leased this title from Why Not...so is the Why Not issue the 'original' album cover art then? Edited January 26, 2009 by Holy Ghost Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) no something like this: Edited January 26, 2009 by Chuck Nessa Quote
JSngry Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) On the subject of Air: The same concern that did the previous Japanese reissues pf Why Not also reissued some things from Trio Records, including Air's Air Raid, which to my knowledge never received American issue. The late Red Trumpet used to carry that whole line of reissues. FWIW, if the reissue is any indication, the cover art of Air Raid was used for the IN issue of Air Song.

paul secor Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 The Why Not LPs that I have also have Trio Records printed on the covers. Most say "Manufactured & distributed by TRIO RECORDS". Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Cool label and glad to see these around again. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I was told by one artist that he never saw any money from the last Why Not CD issues. Is there any reason these will be any better? There's nothing worse than complementing an artist about a disc you want him/her to autograph, only to hear them say, "I never got paid a dime for that".

Two Dickerson albums right Joe? Tell Us Only The Beautiful Things and 1976? I would absolutely love to hear these. Quote

The George Cables album is very nice too. Like you I can thoroughly recommend all these releases and it will be very nice to have them back in circulation again after all these years. Quote
