gmonahan Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I didn't know about this material (from the Tristano estate on Jazz Records). Has any of it been reissued by other labels on cd, or is it all unavailable elsewhere? And, for those who have these records, I'd be interested in hearing about sound quality and particular recommendations! gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got several of the Jazz issues. The two CDs of the early Tristano group (Birdland 1949 & Wow) are excellent musically, but rough sledding sonically - they were recorded on a wire recorder. Toronto 1952 had decent sound and is maybe the Tristano album I'd take to a desert island - phenomenal music by a quintet with Konitz and Marsh. Continuity is okay - the quintet session doesn't get to me as much as the Toronto recordings, and the fragmentary quartet session with Marsh is good, but the sound is not so great. Manhattan Studio is well-recorded, excellent trio music. But IMHO, the Toronto session is the one to get. Like I said, this might be my favorite Tristano album.

I'll definitely look into getting some of these. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.A.W. Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) There is a T/K/M Mosaic on Ebay for $125 with free shipping. That's the starting price; it doesn't mean that it will sell for that price, it might go much higher. Edited February 19, 2010 by J.A.W.

colinmce Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah, I misread-- for some reason I thought that was a Buy-It-Now. Nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
