David Ayers Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 OK I just moved this from another thread. I was going to pick up the Jazzwerkstatt issue of Max Roach in Berlin originally released on Repertoire. I only have one of the Repertoire originals which was the Ornette one and find the sound poor, so wonder if anyone can comment on the sound of the Roach. But I have noticed that the Repertoire featured 8 tracks and the Jazzwerkstatt only five and wonder if anyone knows anything about that? Discographies show these tracks for the Repertoire release: Max Roach - Jazzbuhne Berlin '84, Vol. 2 (Repertoire (G) RR 4902-CC) Cecil Bridgewater (tp) Odean Pope (ts) Tyrone Brown (el-b) Max Roach (d, vo) Berlin, West Germany, July 16, 1984 Good Bait I Remember Clifford Jordu Giant Steps Six Bits Perdido Papa Jo (I'll Be Glad When You're Dead) You Rascal You "Vol 2" refers to the Repertoire series number and not to any prior Roach volume. Any insights? Quote

Any insights? jazzwerkstatt is run by the reputationally-challenged Ulli Blobel, if that makes any difference. Quote
David Ayers Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) I admit I don't know about that except vaguely. Edited May 13, 2011 by David Ayers Quote
B. Clugston Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 I'm curious about the label. It's reissued a few gems from the FMP label. Also, its design is very Brotzmannesque. Quote
jlhoots Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Jazzwerkstatt is the label that Silke Eberhard is on, which makes them O.K. with me. Quote
Hoppy T. Frog Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 I admit I don't know about that except vaguely. he ran westwind, which released some records that some performers considered "unauthorized". Quote
